Poltergeists Unleashed: Emotional Triggers Behind Paranormal Chaos

Published on: 3rd September, 2025

In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, we dive deep into one of the most chilling and controversial theories in the paranormal world: are poltergeists caused by emotional energy?


From cases of unexplained knocks, flying objects, and violent outbursts of energy, we explore how stress, trauma, grief, and intense emotions may act as catalysts for these manifestations. Are these hauntings truly the work of spirits, or are they born from the subconscious mind of the living?


We examine the psychological, spiritual, and paranormal perspectives behind poltergeist activity, including historic case studies, modern research, and cultural beliefs.


If you’ve ever wondered whether our own emotions could fuel the paranormal, this episode offers compelling insights and thought-provoking discussion.

Pursuit of the Paranormal is where curiosity meets cold spots. Hosted by Greg & Ash, we dive into ghosts, UFOs/UAPs, cryptids, hauntings, and high strangeness with an open mind and a healthy dose of evidence-led thinking. Each week we investigate historic locations, unpack famous cases, and bring on researchers, experiencers, skeptics, scientists, and investigators for unfiltered conversations that challenge what we think we know.
From shadow figures in stately homes to lights in the night sky, we chase the stories, the data, and the people behind them—no clickbait, no fluff, just credible, curious, and occasionally creepy explorations of the unknown. Whether you’re a seasoned investigator, a late-night listener, or just “paranormal-curious,” you’re in good company here.
Hit follow, share your encounters, and join us as we document the unexplained—one case, one interview, one eerie EVP at a time.
