Mischievous Bicarbonate Poltergeist
In the sleepy village of Long Wittenham, Berkshire, a most unusual poltergeist activity took place in November 1962. At a private residence, a mischievous spirit made its presence known by moving food about in front of the staff, with a particular fondness for floating bicarbonate of soda in front of their startled faces. This bizarre behaviour lasted for eight days, leaving the residents and staff perplexed and amused by the antics of this playful entity.
The incident, though brief, has become a notable example of poltergeist activity in England. What's remarkable about this case is the specific and repetitive nature of the haunting, with the spirit focusing on bicarbonate of soda as its preferred prop. While the identity and motivations of the spirit remain unknown, its actions suggest a benign and perhaps playful character. The fact that multiple witnesses observed this activity lends credibility to the account, and it remains a fascinating example of the strange and unexplained phenomena that can occur in our everyday lives.
The incident occurred in a rural village in Berkshire, with a history dating back to the Domesday Book.
