"Now, clear your minds. It knows what scares you. It has from the very beginning. Don't give it any help, it knows too much already." - Poltergeist, 1982
The term “Poltergeist” has become a ubiquitous term when it comes to paranormal in pop culture. The noisy ghosts that can run the gamut from benign annoyance to malevolent tricksters have caused some of the most documented and terrifying paranormal cases in history. In this episode, M recounts true stories of people who encountered poltergeists, including the terrifying case of one of the most documented paranormal cases in Brazilian history.
