As a daily newspaper reporter for 38 years and author of four books on fear management and stress, I did not enter lightly into a book on poltergeists. Some of my colleagues who know me as an investigator of everything from the Aids epidemic to serial killers to nepotism in government hiring, may shudder at the thought of my now entering into the shadowy world of the paranormal. In fact, I have been considering this topic for more than 25 yearsMichael Clarkson has been skeptical about things involving intuition, ESP, and the supernatural. However, during a 1970 investigation in St. Catherines, Ontario, he changed his mind. It was a case of a poltergeist. In fact, there are numerous legitimate cases of poltergeist throughout the world every year. People have observed objects flying across rooms, propelled by unknown powers and some of these cases do bear closer examination. When Beds Float examines 50 poltergeist cases. Michael Clarkson interviewed hundreds of witnesses, paranormal experts, psychologists, professors, magicians, and skeptics to assemble this series of so-called hauntings.At the end of his investigation he concludes that there may exist enough evidence to suspect there is something going on from time to time that defies the laws of physics.Some of the cases raise as many questions as they provide answers, others could be trickery. In all cases, however, there seems to be a child or adolescent involved who may or may not, be the inadvertent cause of the phenomena.

One bit a woman, leaving puncture wounds all over her body. Another attacked the contents of a warehouse full of glasses and mugs. Yet another lifted furniture into the air, then sent objects flying in another house. These are some of the strange and sometimes terrifying cases collected by poltergeist investigator William Roll. A parapsychologist, Roll studies these "noisy ghosts" to understand what they are and why they do what they do.

More than fifteen years after the famous South Shields Poltergeist case of 2006, and its well-received book, The South Shields Poltergeist: One Families Fight Against an Invisible Intruder, Darren W. Ritson brings you Poltergeist Parallels and Contagion, a fascinating revised and updated study of the poltergeist enigma. After researching other equally bewildering cases - post South Shields - a number of serious thought-provoking hypotheses regarding the aspect of the poltergeist called 'contagion' have now been raised. Poltergeist contagion has been seldom discussed or studied by psychical researchers, despite many well documented historic cases making mention of it - that is, until now. During the South Shields case and its subsequent years, Darren W. Ritson and his co-investigator Michael J. Hallowell were also subjected to acts of poltergeist 'contagion'. Also noted, were astonishing similarities between cases they had investigated. This book, which was previously released as Contagion: In the Shadow of the South Shields Poltergeist in 2014, has been broadly revised and includes a new lengthily chapter on historic poltergeist cases from the UK and from overseas that feature striking parallels, and events of contagion. With its thought-provoking new ideas, Poltergeist Parallels and Contagion promises to cause some serious debate about the nature of the poltergeist and it begs the question; are there many poltergeists, or is there simply one?
