A poltergeist (from the German polter, meaning "to rumble", "to make a noise" and geist, meaning "ghost" or "spirit") is a type of ghost or other supernatural entity that manifests by creating noise or moving objects. While the term itself comes from German, poltergeist activity has been reported in nearly every culture, becoming part of the folklore in India, the United States, Japan, Brazil, and other countries. Several scientific theories regarding poltergeist activity have been proposed, including tremors, air currents, ultra-infra sound waves or unexplained losses of gravity, though true believers maintain that there is no stable scientific explanation for poltergeists. The, uh, not so scientific theories vary between ghosts and nonconscious, uncontrolled telekinesis. For the movies of the same name, go to Poltergeist. |

Halloween Episode | |
| Poltergeist / int_297170d3 | comment |
What's seems to be a Poltergeist (and mentioned as such by name) affects the MIB headquarters in the Halloween Episode of Men in Black: The Series. As the show is sci-fi it turns out the Poltergeist was caused by an interdimensional alien life form. | |

Magic Mirror | |
| Poltergeist / int_5b47c8c7 | comment |
While haunting Casper High from his Magic Mirror, Poindexter can manipulate stuff in the school to undo acts of bullying (such as untangling a nerd's shoe laces) and turn them against the bullies themselves (he seems to do this unconsciously, given that afterwards he doesn't recognize the bullies that had been punished by his powers). When he confronts Danny after escaping from his locker, he messes with objects all around the school: school supplies fly out of their lockers, lunch starts attacking students at the cafeteria, and items from the lab vanish in thin air. | |

Played for Laughs | |
| Poltergeist / int_762b9223 | comment |
Played for Laughs in Ghosts (UK). Julian Fawcett MP is the only one of the ghosts who can interact with the physical world, but he can only move small objects by nudging them with his finger and with great effort, literally screaming with the strain of it. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork | |
| Poltergeist / int_c3648b87 | comment |
The protagonists, along with a Fittes team, are trapped in a department store by a poltergeist at one point, and it's revealed that Holly Munro lost her entire team to a poltergeist attack before the series. | |
