German for "knocking ghost," a poltergeist is a supernatural spirit that makes noise. Poltergeists move furniture, bang on walls and doors, and break things to make their presence known.

In some cases poltergeists can be quite aggressive, hurling objects through the air and striking people. Poltergeists often visit séances, and have lately been active as movie and TV villains, such as in the 1982 movie Poltergeis
