Poltergeist Over Scotland

Poltergeist Over Scotland gathers 134 reported cases of disruptive phenomena from the 1630s to early 2012. Geoff Holder arranges them chronologically, examining incidents linked with places including Ballechin House, Pitmilly House, Sauchie and Maxwell Park. The accounts feature thrown or moved objects, unexplained noises, fires, water disturbances and electrical problems, alongside claims of hoaxing and misidentification.

Each case is set against its available evidence and wider setting, with attention to witness reliability, changing explanations and the ways stories develop. The book also considers the relationship between poltergeist reports and conventional hauntings, identifies recurring types of activity, and discusses how later publicity affected cases such as the Mackenzie poltergeist. A bibliography and index support further investigation.
