Wilson, a prolific author of books on philosophy and the occult, makes a case by case examination of a variety of poltergeist occurrences in an attempt to synthesize a viable explanation for the poltergeist phenomenon. After looking at evidence from cases varied by time and location he comes to the conclusion that poltergeists are spirit energies rather than a form of psychokinesis. His ideas are controversial, but well argued and documented.
