Poltergeist

/ˈpoʊl.tərˌɡaɪst/noun
ELI5 mode

A poltergeist is a mischievous and often invisible spirit believed to cause unexplained physical disturbances, such as objects moving, loud noises, or even harm in a household. In contemporary culture, it's frequently depicted in horror stories and paranormal investigations, serving as a symbol of unresolved emotions or psychological stress rather than purely supernatural forces. While skeptics attribute these events to fraud or natural causes, believers see them as evidence of the unseen world.
