UFOs and Related Subjects (Lynn Catoe, 1969)

Poltergeist manifestations are believed by author to be due to p:·ofounJ cleavage
of personality in which part of the mental systerr. is "tern loC\Rc?, "like a dis-
embodied entity, but is still capable of personality development, as any
autonomous complex would be, though on a different, apparently fourth-
dimentional plane of activity.
Owen, A. R. G. Can we explain the polterg<~ist? New York, Garrett Publications,
1964. '36 p.
Various mutually exclusive possible approaches to the 'supernatural" at a
discussed. 'I'he viewpoint adopted for poltergeist happenings is that oi
regular naturalism, which seeks to explain phenomena in terms of procN;ses
which operate in conjuction with, and without nullifying, known laws of na::.Jre.
No evidence is found in poltergeist cases reviewed to support assumption
that any role is played by a discarnate entity or "spirit" other thwi at most
an extension of the personality of the "medium." Data suggest that polter-
geist activity is a ''psychic" phenomenon in the sense of being associated with
the higher human brain centers when these are not fully inhibited by sleep, iwr
deranged by epileptiform discharge, nor imperfectly developed as in mental
defect. The association with adolescence may be psychological rather than
directly physiological.
