Poltergeist (help·info) (German for noisy ghost) is a term used to describe a spirit or ghost that manifests itself by moving and influencing inanimate objects.

Reports of poltergeist activity typically feature heavily on raps, bumps thumps, knocks, footsteps, and bed-shaking, all without a discernible point of origin or physical reason for occurrence. Many accounts also detail objects being thrown about the room, furniture being moved, and even people being levitated. Though rare, a few poltergeists have been known to speak, including the The Bell Witch in 1817 and Gef the Talking Mongoose in 1931.

They are also known to be more attached to girls from about the ages of 9-16..Which give or take on the ages..but girls seem to attract them the most.

Some people think the whole Poltergeist thing..has to do with the mind of another..strong emotional negativity can result in a Poltergeist style haunting..Then it all boils down to the person having strong negative emotional problems..which its their mind that causes the things to move and happen.

Thats just a theory I have come acrossed before.

Oddly enough the age variable coencides with the menstral cycle. Within those ages girls are still in the early stages of it and still don't know how to live with their monthly visit. The negative vibes make a nice beacon for troubled spirits.

Yeah, i agree i also don't think it's just girls, you may just hear of it more. Maybe that's due to females being more vocal then most males.
