Different stages / Levels of Poltergeist Activity

Stage/Level:	Occurrences:
Stage 1: Referred to as a Senses Attack because in the early stages of a poltergeist the activity mainly revolves around the human body's basic senses.	Cold spots Strange noises Odd odors and smells Hearing footsteps Unusual animal activity (dogs/cats running from rooms, etc) Feelings of being watched..
Stage 2: This level is where the noises and smells begin to turn into something more direct. Everything is still at its basic level but turned up a few notches.	Whispers, Laughs or giggles Moans or shrieking Moving shadows Breezes in closed areas Visible clouds (base apparitions) Strong static electricity Marks on floors or walls (Not writings)
Stage 3: At this stage the poltergeist begins to make it's presence felt. The difference is that in the first two levels it could be said that it was the mind playing tricks, but now, it's hard not to notice something real is happening. This is the level that the classic haunting falls into.	Lights and other electrical appliances turning ON/OFF Unseen hands grabbing or touching people Writings on walls or pattern markings Doors that Open/Close or Lock/Unlock Hearing voices or words clearly Full apparitions or dark figures Showing levels of communication with living people
Stage 4: This is where an advanced poltergeist begins to gain momentum. Moving closer to the danger level and picking up a clearer consciousness.	Flying/moving objects Objects disappearing and reappearing elsewhere Shaking furniture Pushing or shaking people Windows, mirrors or other household objects breaking for no reason Levitation
Stage 5: At this level the poltergeist is at its highest energy point and should be considered dangerous, not because it wants to hurt people, but just because it has a great deal of energy and could end of hurting someone with it (either on purpose or by accident). The time frame here, and for all stages listed, will vary depending on the poltergeist. It could end in days, months or years. After this stage, the poltergeist will usually go dormant and then begin this cycle over again.	Dangerous activity Biting, Slapping or punching Animating objects Use of household electrical systems Hair pulled Heavy objects falling
