Elementals force a company to relocate
July 24th, 2007

A subsidiary of a large diversified company was engaged in agri-business. Following a reorganization in the mother company, the subsidiary relocated the entire operation and rented a big one-story house on a corner lot in Makati that was formerly rented by a foreign consulate. The property had a large backyard.
One early morning, the company president went to the empty boardroom to get something. The chairs were stacked upside down on the conference table. As he approached the table, a chair suddenly rose up and hurled itself to the wall at the back of the room. The president rushed out of the room and went straight to the office of the human resources vice president, my former boss in the firm's holding company.

The HR officer told the president things had been happening since they moved to the place two years before. A Spanish-looking couple was seen walking around the offices, office machines would start running when nobody was around, lights would turn on and off, etc.

"Why didn't anybody tell me these things," the president demanded.

"Well," said the HR executive, "we didn't think you would believe us."

The president asked the HR executive to call me right away.

That's how I got involved. I brought along a well-known clairvoyant. He confirmed the presence of several discarnate and other earthbound spirits. His description of the foreign couple matched reports of some employees.

But that was not the most disturbing thing we discovered. The clairvoyant said the backyard was an entrance to the elemental kingdom. There was no way the elementals would leave. That's why they were causing trouble.

Since the company moved to that place, business went bad. Management did not suspect any supernatural causes because the country's economy was also not doing well then.
But there were also other problems, like many employees getting sick or being involved in accidents. Relations among employees was strained and a labor dispute arose.

We recommended the company's transfer because the elementals were angry and would do everything to make their lives miserable. The comptroller objected because the company still had several months in their lease contract and it was a very expensive property. I told them it was entirely up to them.

The next day, the comptroller called and said, "You know, Jimmy, I was at the Ateneo for four years and the Jesuits could not convince me of such supernatural nonsense. You were here for only 30 minutes and you've convinced me that we have to go."

After the company transferred, I was told sales went up, relations between labor and management improved, and employees were happier and less tense.
SOURCE

----------------------------------

This article is from the Asian Journal. "Makati" was the only mention of a location. I looked it up and for those of you geographically impaired (like me ), it's a city in the Phillipines.

They say elementals are the cause, but to me, chair throwing = poltergeist. I don't have any knowledge of elementals beyond what I've seen in video games or read in fantasy novels. Here's what Wiki has to say about it for those interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementals

There's another article ajoining this one at the source that is a seperate elemental story, but I'm going to post it in the Can a Spirit Kill? thread as it seems relevant there.

There's no mention of who the author of the article is, other than possibly "Jimmy".

yes, this does sound like a poltergiest.
This reminds me of a show I saw on TV about poltergiests.
The chair and things would fly across the room.
It was one of those halloween specials.
I'll see if I can find it on youtube later.

Good find Luna!

Check what i have found

Poltergeist is a German word meaning noisy ghost (some also say Poltergeist means mischievous Ghost), I think there is a common misconception that Poltergeists are evil, but this is not necessarily true.

There is also a common misconception that the majority of Poltergeist happens around children, especially teenagers with hormones running wild, again this is not always true and can happen without the presence of children andactors

A Poltergeist is known as a ghost which can interact, move objects, including furniture also with reports of throwing people about.

Some also say Poltergeists are a form of psychokinesis in Spain

Just actors?


Adult onset poltergeists are more common than people think. Really, anyone under a lot of mental stress, especially women for some reason. But generally, a poltergeist will not show up around a prepubescant person. (I actually can't think of any case where one has, but I am sure somewhere on the internets there is one...)

Poltergeists may not be evil, but they can be dangerous. After all, this is a person *lashing out*. People can be injured, especially when you get into fire starting poltergeists.
I recall seeing one show (it was more a documentary, not your 'most haunted' type show) where an investigator in an attic had a rope dropped over his neck and was hauled up in the air by an invisible *something*. The video and still photographs of the incident were very compelling, though I have not been able to find a link.

The psychokinesis and pubescent child theories are liked together.
There is an idea that the hormonal surge somehow magnifies latent psychic abilities.

Actors?
*sprinkles room with salt*
Oh god.....please don't get me....

....Actually, this could make sense.
Actors are just children who never stopped playing pretend.
It could have something to do with the imagination....

And if you meant adults, disregard everything from "Actually" to "Imagination"

Hahaha

I could imagine a conversation in the morning
"Hey Hank"
"Hey, I was wondering if you happened to see my stapler?"
THUD
"Ow, oh here it is, thanks!"
"No problem"
"What was that?"
"Poltergiest"
"Oh, right, I forgot!"

I'd have to agree with the incident being a case of poltergeists, rather than elementals. It seems like the article's author was also a little vague in description. I really wish he'd included a bit more on the subject of the mysterious Spanish couple.

There is no misconception about the majority of poltergeists being the result of young teenaged females. That's where the psychokinesis comes in....
