Features
28 When the Lights Went Out (Cover Story)
In the late 1960s one British family suffered a series of increasingly violent phenomena in their council house on a Pontefract estate. The entity behind the outbreak became known as 'the Black Monk of Pontefract'. Alan Murdie looks back at one of the most remarkable poltergeist cases on record.
32 Shooting the Lights Out
Pat Holden and Bil Bungay talk to FT about their new British film based on the events in Pontefract.
36 Pick of the Polts
Eight more poltergeist cases to confound the sceptics.
38 Birth of the Poltergeist
Claude Lecouteux explores the way in which, in the 16th century, noisy spirits and devilish entities came to be subsumed under the familiar name of poltergeist.
42 Charles Fort's Poltergeist
Fort may have written tales of hauntings and unexplained rappings from the newspapers, but, as Alan Murdie relates, he and his wife Anna also encountered mysterious events in their London flat.
46 Hitler the Noisy Ghost
Some of mankind's greatest crimes seem almost beyond human comprehension, but, asks SD Tucker, do we really need to presume that people like Hitler and Stalin were possessed by demons and poltergeists in order to account for them?
