Raps, Blows, and Detonations

In a poltergeist outbreak, loud sounds are often heard from the walls or floor, and on occasion from furniture such as tables or chests. The sounds have a percussive aspect, more like detonations than raps or knocks. Often they are signs of more dynamic activity to come, and this is the key to understanding them. An angry child first stomps on the floor and pounds walls before throwing things or stealing. The PK agent does likewise, using his extra-dimensional extension.

A four-dimensional object pounding on our three-dimensional space is like a three-dimensional object (a stone) pounding or traveling through a two-dimensional surface such as water. As the stone creates certain physical effects upon contacting the surface, so a four-dimensional body does when contacting our world. These effects are described by John D. Ralphs in Exploring the Fourth Dimension.

It (a four-dimensional body entering our world) will displace a volume of air, and may also cause local heating of the displaced air by friction. In either case the effect will be to create a pressure wave radiating outwards, rather in the manner of a small explosion or a balloon bursting. (Such a “step wave” or “impulse” is one of the simplest and most fundamental of sounds.) Any large resonant surface, such as a wooden floor or a large piece of furniture, will “drum” to the impact of the air wave, and the sound will be further modified by the acoustics of the room so that what is heard in an adjoining room will be a hollow bang or thump.37

These are sounds typical of the poltergeist, and it is not surprising that they accompany other extra-dimensional activities. (Remember how when Claudia turned a tennis ball inside-out, there was an “implosive sound”?) Here is an account by William Roll, from his The Poltergeist:

Suddenly a small glass vase from the kitchen table flew through the open door and fell to the rug at my feet. The vase did not break; nevertheless there was a loud explosive sound. I was facing Mrs. Beck but not looking directly at her. It was possible, therefore, that she might have thrown the vase. However, this would not explain the sound, which was as loud as a pistol shot. I at once examined the vase. There was no sign of foreign substances on it or on the floor.…Unusually loud sounds are often reported in connection with poltergeist incidents.38
