But if Marianne is handling the board and she's the one that puts it away and she's the one that sees that it's clear and then next time they open the cupboard, you know, she pulls it out and the writing is on it.

How has he done that?

And, you know, how has he remotely in 2005 managed to operate the board from the other side of the room?

Yeah.

Is it that the person who has written it is of that dialogue?

They're from that part of the country.

If we think it is Sammy or some sort of ghost, is that how they would have spoken?

Or if it's not Sammy, is it something pretending to be a child, which is arguably worse?

So typically in a poltergeist case, regardless of if it affects a family, co-workers or even a group of friends living together, not always, but sometimes it seems to focus on one person.

A couple of examples of this would be, say, Janet Hodgson in The Enfield Haunting.

We had Shirley in The Battersea Poltergeist.

And then earlier in the series, we also had Betty in The Cock Lane Poltergeist.

Yeah.

I mean, what are you really supposed to do with that?

If you believe it's something paranormal and it's not just a series of random events, then it is something with agency and agenda that can write and that can speak a language, then it has intention.

And if it has intelligence and intention, then it can create harm.

Not well, apparently, judging by the misspellings of some of the messages.

Yeah, illiterate ghosts.

The thing is that the number one most reported type of phenomena we see in every case is interference with electrical equipment.

And so rather than us thinking, OK, you know, some sort of like bed sheet ghost sitting down and typing out a message, it's more to do with just electricity being manipulated so that these messages result.
