********************************************************************

What is the origin of ‘Phantom Knocking’?

Phantom Knocking is when a unseen phenomena knocks out of the blue. No one knows as to why these things happen and for what. In folklore and parapsychology, a poltergeist is a type of ghost or other supernatural being supposedly responsible for physical disturbances such as loud noises and objects moved around or destroyed. Most accounts of poltergeists describe movement or levitation of objects, such as furniture and cutlery, or noises such as knocking on doors.

Poltergeists occupy numerous niches in cultural folklore, and have traditionally been described as troublesome spirits who haunt a particular person instead of a specific location. Such alleged poltergeist manifestations have been reported in many cultures and countries including the United States, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and most European nations, with early accounts dating back to the 1st century.

The word poltergeist comes from the German words poltern (“to make sound”) and Geist (“ghost” and “spirit”), and the term itself roughly translates as “noisy ghost” or “noise-ghost”.

********************************************************************

Who are these Phantom Knockers?

Phantom Knockers or Ghost Knockers are the unseen’s way of getting your attention. It’s there way of communication with you among other ways. No one knows for certain what ghosts are, or if they even exist; some believe that they are spirits of the dead who for whatever reason get “lost” on their way to the afterworld; others think that ghosts are the souls of people whose deaths were violent or premature.

********************************************************************

When was Phantom Knocking born?

Honestly, no one knows for sure when Phantom Knockers were born or when the first one to exist. My theory on Phantom Knocking are just regular people like you and me that have past away and have not moved/gone into the light. By them knocking is there way of getting a message out there to you, weather or not the message is good or bad; its up to you to determine and/or decipher the messages/clues that it is been given upon you.

********************************************************************

Where did Phantom Knocking come from?

Phantom knocking is a related link between all manifestations from the spirit world. whether it be good or bad, to factually state an origin point would be too empty of a guest-imitation on mine and Chira’s research. I would roughly say based on the limited information on the subject its simply a phenomenon.

********************************************************************

Why did Phantom Knocking go from good to evil?

Poltergeists have also been claimed to be capable of pinching, biting, hitting and tripping people.

A poltergeist is perhaps the best-known — and most feared — type of ghost. It is a spirit that is said to harass and torment its victims. This harassment typically includes minor but mysterious and disturbing events such as loud sounds, moving furniture, sheets and covers being pulled off beds, small objects inexplicably falling off shelves, stones rising off the ground and being hurled at people, and so on.

********************************************************************

How was Phantom Knocking created?

Its a favored move to use in the arsenal of a spirit/entity, etc. I believe it was honestly a stumbled across scenario when someone from the physical world re-acted to the noise caused from the knocking.
