POLTERGEISTS: Three Different Types
The Sauchie poltergeist is reported to be the most studied and believable case in Scottish history.
In 1960 11-year-old Virginia Campbell came with her family from the village of Moville, County Donegall in Ireland to live in 19 Park Crescent in Sauchie, Clackmannanshire.
Shortly after, typical poltergeist activity started, beginning with sounds in the bedroom: loud pecking noises, a person sawing wood and a medicine ball bouncing on the floor which followed both her and her cousin down every step as she ran from their bedroom in panic.
The family asked the Rev. Waterton Lund to investigate, and when he duly appeared he listened to the stories the family and their neighbours had to tell him. Then the knocking started from the headboard,
Vases moved, and a heavy linen chest eerily waddled some 18 inches from the wall towards Virginia and then returned to its original position, an apple rose from the table on several occasions and a sewing machine started on its own even when it was unplugged.
He returned with two doctors, Dr. W. H. Nesbit and Dr. Logan, who witnessed Virginia lying, fast asleep, with her head on her pillow. To their amazement, the pillow next to her rotated some 50 degrees, then the pillow under her head also moved. Then they both saw her bed cover move in a wave-like pattern up and down the length of the bed.
A day after she arrived, she went to the nearby school. Her teacher, Miss Margaret Stewart, noticed she was sitting with her elbows on the desk, appearing to hold the lid down, and asked her to behave, but when she obligingly took her hands off the desk, it rose several inches of the floor and the lid opened and closed rapidly three times.
A short time later, when the class had settled down, a girl behind Virginia asked to leave the classroom. As she walked out of the room the class was horrified to see her desk levitating off the floor.
Miss Stewart asked her to go and see the head teacher, Mr. Hill, but when Miss Stewart tried to open the door, it remained steadfastly closed and it took her and three children to force it open, leaving the frightened children to spill out into the corridor.
Back at school the following Monday Virginia walked up to Miss Stewart’s desk to hand in an essay and the whole class was again horrified to see her long blackboard cane pointer start to vibrate, turn vertically, then thump, thump, thump on the table and fall on to the floor. Then the teacher’s heavy wooden table vibrated, rose into the air and returned to the floor at an angle of 90 degrees.
The two doctors returned and witnessed a quite extraordinary incident which was to be repeated by a young lad later – as they looked at Virginia’s bed the cover changed from red to green! They also noticed the weird rippling effect on the cover as well as the pillow next to her which showed the indentation of what some took to be a human head, but what Dr. Lund described as a puckering effect.
Dr. Logan did add a telling story – he said the sounds he heard were very similar to the sounds he had heard when having an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan at a hospital.
Dr. George Owen. mathematician and psychic researcher recorded the sound of Virginia screaming as the linen chest vibrates across the room rather like a washing machine in a kitchen. Listen here
There Have Been Many Other Occurrences Noted In Their Diary:
A knife and fork at dinner table next to Virginia moved as if some invisible entity was eating at the table, also a glass of water;
School books rise and fly away, never towards, Virginia, roughly once a month;
Objects fly around classroom;
She was rolling in her bed, babbling nonsense, hysterical, barking like a dog;
Her lips glowed bright red three times;
Sounds of footsteps on bedroom floor;
Clock came out of cabinet, hit Virginia on the nose, then settled on a chair;
A Brillo pad flew out of the kitchen into the living room;
Knocks came from under table. Virginia gave three knocks and three came back;
Abowl of flower bulbs (given to teacher by Virginia!) flew across Miss Stewart’s table;
Items disappeared, returned weeks later.
Both girls suffered bruising.
Her blood pressure was taken several times but was not elevated;
Dr. Logan did add a telling story: he said the sounds he heard were very similar to that of a hospital MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner.
Following the Energy Leys
After many years of following the ley line energy from a recumbent standing stone placed above, and taking its energy from, the Highland Boundary Fault (wavelength 8 metres) with a divining rod, (the only way to find these energies) I stumbled upon several unusual qualities of this energy which allowed me to begin to understand these infestations:
This is the cup-marked stone at Connachan farm, in the field in front of Foulford Inn near Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland, with its dumb-bell cup-mark showing a map of the ley lines in the area.
The petroglyphs on this boulder, now badly eroded due to acid rain, are actually responsible for many of the leys around Central and north Scotland.
The full story can be found in my book “Ley Lines and Earth Energy” published by David Hatcher Childress of the USA.
The energy from this type of cup-marked standing stone is of immensely complicated circuits of natural telluric energy and one (the dumb bell shape) in particular is focused into many of the ancient burial grounds in part of Perthshire.
The illustration shows just some of these circuits which could well initiate paranormal activity, including poltergeists and account for our ancestors’ fear of witches, spirits, and ‘things that go bump in the night’. The illustration shows five of these circuits at the top right in outline form with the illustration itself showing the circuits with the burial grounds I followed on foot over a period of ten years.
This energy is in the form of a stream of waves, with the outer “working” wave attracted into resonant cavities like animal skulls lying on the ground, caves, quarries, ravines, vehicles, concrete and metal pipes and even houses and castles.
There is another form of ley which is involved: the architects of old built churches and cathedrals as resonant cavities, their roofs pointing accurately to other sacred sites, like standing stones, burial grounds and other churches. (Virginia’s house was at the end of a line of houses). The churches and chapels in and around Crieff are all connected in this manner. It is obvious that they had a working knowledge of sacred geomancy.
On Google Earth I drew a line down the row of 7 houses in Park Crescent (excellent resonating cavities) expecting the energy to come from an old burial ground, but to no avail, so I drew it further east – to the huge “golf ball” radar station at Balhaldi. !
Park Crescent is on a ‘Modern’ Ley Line
So the poltergeist energy comes from the radar station! No wonder Dr. Logan, investigating the infestation, thought the sounds of the poltergeist were so familiar! These stations pumped out some ½ million watts of energy each.
This radome was originally part of the Chain Home High radar stations, built at the beginning of World War Two. These were part of the ROTOR Programme. The valves were able to operate at one of four selected frequencies between 20 and 55 MHz, and switched in 15 seconds.
The wavelength was about 10 metres, very close to the standing stone circuits at Connachan farm of 8 metres.
When first built, Chain Home could only locate fairly large objects, but in the cauldron of World War II one very important discovery was that a cavity magnetron, which had eight cavities, can reduce the wavelength (the frequency is determined by the size and shape of the cavities) enabling it to pick up smaller objects).
The strange phenomena in Park Crescent and so many others, is simply radar waves working in a way which scientists do not understand, like bouncing off Virginia’s headboard in her bed, rippling her bedclothes and pillows, stimulating muscles to make people think they have been pushed (altertively, actually pushing them) making objects like books float, etc.
About March 1961 the phenomena was said to have disappeared, although it is more likely that it was still active, as the crowd of sightseers and media frenzy was getting out of control and was probably a ruse to defuse the situation.
SOME PHENOMENA EXPLAINED?
Ornaments, bottles, school children’s desks, teachers desk, wardrobes, linen chest levitating;
They are cavities which attract microwave energy which resonate in confined spaces. This causes them to vibrate.
Children’s desks and linen chest lids opening and closing;
Radar waves amplified in a confined space. The same effect occurs in houses, opening doors, for example.
Bed cover changing colour;
An optical illusion caused by radar waves.
Microwave energy stimulating muscles or pressure of radar energy.
Cane blackboard pointer lying on Miss Stewart’s desk, vibrating, falling vertically on to the floor;
Cane is hollow and may attract EM fields (most of the crops in fields such as corn, are hollow and will attract these energies. In authentic circles the nodes are often bent, showing a heating effect). Early radar operators stood in front of radar aerials to warm themselves, but it also caused infertility.
Rippling effect on bed covers;
A known effect from radar. (My co-author, Dr. Anne Silk, investigating a case of ‘ghost paths’ on a newly laid carpet, discovered that a nearby radar station was operating at a similar wavelength to the pile on the carpet, bending it.
Mattress depressed as if some invisible person was sitting on bed;
Springs in mattresses attract some forms of energy as Dr. Silk noted when one person said that her bed bounced up and down like an old jet aircraft revving up for take off (stochastic resonance) and can also cause indentations on pillows.
Rapping noises on headboard of bed; doors opening and closing; knocking on doors when no-one is there:
Could also be caused by the pressure of electromagnetic waves.
Door jammed shut.
Metals like iron and steel are ferromagnetic and expand slightly in an intense magnetic field. Or by pressure as above.
DISTRESSING EFFECTS
Countless people in all parts of the world for thousands of years have been terrified by “invisible forces” pushing them, voices telling them to commit suicide, ghostly footsteps, being pelted by stones, pools of water forming on floors and ceilings,and all of the other paraphanellia of poltergeist activity. Some have even committed suicide, beleiving that they are being hounded by angry spirits, but the form of activity above is nothing to worry about as far as spiritual activity is concerned.
The health aspects of being surrounded with microwave energy capable of lifting heavy objects and making objects disappear must be considerable.
During my research into the health aspects of the ley system I have found a method which appears to negate much unhealthy energy and may work to reduce poltergeist energy of all forms by using cavities to dump the energy into the ground. This I have not yet tested in infestations. You can find this here.
The following story, involving energy from a grave into a shop is another form of poltergeist involving a discarnate spirit:
A POLTERGEIST FROM A NEARBY GRAVEYARD
Thirty years of research into the structure of ley lines (energy leys) in Scotland has made me aware of several factors, not the least being that our ancestors, several thousand years ago, and until quite recently, had a deep understanding of the subtle energies that our planet emits, including poltergeists and ghosts.
Four-stone circles, cup-marked stones, and many ancient burial-grounds, for instance, were carefully placed above volcanic faults, and plutons (volcanoes which didn’t quite reach the surface like the one Balmuick stone circle sits upon) to make use of the massive amounts of energy emitted from such features. Individual standing stones were situated above crossing underground streams or geological fissures to add their quota of energy to a ley.
But it was whilst researching the strange occurrences in a local shop in Crieff, Scotland, that I stumbled upon something, which even to me, after decades of working with the strangest of energies, seemed quite bizarre.
This shop had, over some forty years, poltergeist experiences of various types, which did not surprise me at all, as it had been built over a subterranean stream and was adjacent to the local church and burial ground, some 800 years old.
One side of the shop in particular had poltergeist disturbances, spray cans and other items displaced and vanishing after the owner had replaced the bought items, and clothes beneath them flung around in disarray. Using my divining rod I discovered that a 5 inch wide beam came through the window and curved around to this area, and into the wall.
A Psychic Investigator
A few weeks later, Archie Lawrie, then psychic investigator for Scotland, took his medium Francesca into the shop. As always, she had no idea where she was going and was simply driven the 40 miles from her home into the shop and asked what she could psychically “see”.
She walked around the premises, and stopped just inside the centre of the window, just where I found the beam of energy, and said she could see “a little old man come through the window, turn to the left, open a door and go up a flight of stairs”. The owner was stunned at this, as he was the only one who knew that there was a door there, leading to the flat upstairs.
I realized that she was tuning in to the same energy with her mind as I was with my divining rod, so late one night I picked up the energy outside the shop and followed it round into the ancient burial-ground behind the shop, where it spiralled into one of the many graves there, almost as if, perhaps a century later, his spirit perpetually followed the route he had taken in life, as he was, according to the medium, the caretaker of the premises when it was an Inn, and he was walking through the archway (now the glass window front of the shop) closing the gate every night at the same time, then opening the door to his flat and walking upstairs.
This led me to investigate the other graves in this cemetery, to find that each one had a double spiral of energy emitted from it, one clockwise in plan view, which responded only to my black divining rod (unhealthy or negative) and one anti-clockwise, which responded to my white divining rod (healthy or positive).
This intriguing work led me to do further research, and briefly, what I discovered was that the two spirals of opposite sign traversed the country, initially wandering haphazardly around, due to interference of the other “spirit lines” before joining up with its opposite partner, then settling down into a three-metre long wave, or beam, 5 inches wide. The strange thing about these waves is that they travelled back to the places where the occupants of the graves lived, usually seeking their beds, or favourite armchair.”
Energies Above an Underground Stream
A house above an underground stream is subject to several different types of natural energy. Here you can see a spiral of energy rising to the surface. From the right a ley line, comprised of vertical waves of energy is automatically attracted into the centre of the spiral, making a number of “hot spots” down its length. Wave effect of about 2 metres (not shown for clarity).
If the underground stream is polluted it will attract a “black” ley line, if healthy water, it will attract a healthy ley line.
If the energy is unhealthy it will impact the health of any person living there, especially if his or her bed is above the centre of the spiral. The spiral can travel up through many floors of a building.
A friend who specialises in removing spirits, “tuned in” to the area and, to my amazement, cleared most of the black spirals from the burial ground as you can see here, except, strangely, the spirals close to the walls of the burial ground. Another puzzling feature, I noticed, is that there are no black spirals leading to the door of the church (below).
Unfortunately, after a few days they returned.
The burial ground showing the black spirals from the graves. Notice the clear path to the church door.
After being cleared by a psychic.
CThere are many underground streams in Crieff, and, of course, many apparitions and paranormal phen-omena.
One recent incident is of an acquaintance who was walking along Comrie Road, close to the Infinity Blue Dental Clinic in Crieff, when he saw a man walking towards him with a dog on a leash. To his astonishment they both started to spiral into the air and vanished.
He was very apologetic in telling me this story, but I pointed out that there was an underground stream at that point and what may have happened was that the person probably walked along that same pavement at roughly the same time for years excercising his dog and for some reason the vision was captured by the spiral of energy from the stream .
Ochtertyre Mausoleum, above the Highland Boundary Fault
In addition, this cemetery is on the Highland Boundary Fault and its church, some miles away, has its main roof accurately aligned (out of sight) to two corner stones of the burial ground and the Mausoleum itself.
THE MOST HAUNTED HOUSE IN ENGLAND,”THE CAGE” OSWYTH
Vanessa Mitchell bought a house called “The Cage”, in Osyth, Essex in 2004. Originaly a prison, it had a long history of violence. In 1582 fourteen women were rounded up, believed to be witches. One, Ursula Kemp, following the death of a young child which she attended in an attempt to help, was convicted, tortured and hanged there. Later it became a quarantine house for victims of the bubonic plague, many of whom died there. There was one suicide, also by hanging, a few months before Miss Thomson bought the house. The previous owner, Phil – a manic-depressive, hung himself in the stairwell.
A day after moving in, poltergeist activity began: pleasant to begin with. Beautiful sparkly lights flooded her living room, (possibly very dangerous as mentioned before) but the activity became increasingly hostile: ornaments moved; spots of blood in hall; a dark mist seeping through door; hair yanked violently; latch on bedroom door vibrating; posessions missing and reappearing in another part of the house; house icy cold; violent push which sent her across room; electric meter spinning; “layers and layers of ghosts, men, women and children over the generations”; strange odours (pipe smoke and freshly made bread); chain which was in the original part of the house swinging; a can of Coca Cola sitting near her bed suddenly launched itself across the room and hit wall; waist-high figure of man floated across room, turned and stared at her; dark male apparition bending over child’s cot; old woman seen at upstairs window; whispered words telling her to commit suicide; psychic investigators bleeding from their eyes and left with physical marks on their bodies (the American Embassy in Russia had a similar problem at one time. It was discovered that the Russians were using the American staff as guinea pigs to find the effects of microwave radiation); fridge magnets fly across room (after a Halloween party)!; puddles of water appearing on the floor; large black mass rose from the carpet to the ceiling (atmospheric attenuation of microwaves from 0.1 cm to 2 cm. At wavelengths in this band, water vapour and oxygen absorb energy from electromagnetic waves, the former because of its electric dipole moment and the latter because of its magnetic moment).
The road to the east, running alongside “The Cage” was used to carry corpses to the nearby burial ground in the past.
In 2019 a lady from the U.S.A. came to cleanse the house which Vanessa says has helped,
In July 2022 the radar site at Trimingham which hosted a type 93 radar, which was, presumably, the cause of the problem, was shifted 8 miles to Neatishead because of coastal erosion. It was closed in 2023.
Presumably the incidents have now been reduced, at least, although it is still possible due to the unusually violent history and perhaps underground streams/geology which can amplify such effects there may be some residual effects.
I would like to know if the old burial ground at the end of “the corpse road” nearby was in line with this house which might mean that the radar waves might be responsible for ghostly behaviour. My e-mail is davidcowan34@gmail.com
