Biography
Swiss poltergeist case of the catholic priest Balthasar Schiffmann; he lived two years in Uffikon, always disturbed through heavy raps and noises. 1 January 1815 represents the beginning: there was pushing on the main door, strong raps at the walls; all doors shut reopened. Same in the kitchen, but, if inspected, there was nobody, nothing to see.Raps began mostly when a talk with someone started. Once an illusion of fire frightened. An exorcism was tried but didn't help (in most cases they make it worse). A child of 5 years was elevated, from the desk into the height, it landed on the other side of his chair.Strange noises as if from paper were felt and in the upper stage steps were heard, seemingly those of a heavy man. But nobody there, too. The dog showed fear, irritated by the invisible, but feeling it (like other dogs in spook cases).At the end the priest saw no solution and he left Uffikon. It is supposed that this poltergeist lasted till 1836 - maybe he was already there before the new priest came.
