A Poltergeist Goes to Court in California

Bayless got the attention of the defense attorney, trying to get a hearing for the poltergeist. He told the attorney about the nature of the poltergeist and described the pattern of the rock throwing poltergeist. He urged the attorney to bring this to the court's attention, but the lawyer ignored the parapsychologist.

The trial continued and witness after witness testified. The testimony became confusing. When the police captain testified, it became more doubtful that Angelo had thrown a rock at a car. He had watched Angelo look around the lot as he leaned on a Nash Rambler. He saw the man hit the side of the car two or three times, but could not see whether or not Angelo had a rock in his hand. Angelo walked away from the car.

When the captain returned to the lot, he was told that Angelo had been hit by a rock. When the Rambler was examined, a small dent was found on it and Angelo was charged with defacing the car. The man denied he was near the car.

Mock began to have second thoughts about what he had observed. He claimed that since the rock pelting started when Angelo began to work at the lot and ended when he left, he must have been responsible for the incidents.

Now, Angelo's attorney was also having second thoughts. The proceedings were not going well for his client. Perhaps the poltergeist being brought to court would vindicate Angelo.

During the next recess, the news that a poltergeist expert was in court came to the judge's attention. Judge Kaufman listened to what Bayless told him about the nature of the poltergeist. He explained that the rock throwing poltergeist was a substantiated form of psychic phenomenon and that Angelo had nothing to do with throwing the stones.

Angelo took the stand after the recess. He denied any responsibility in the rock throwing. The issue changed from obstruction of a police investigation to whether the rock throwing was normal or supernormal.

The defense attorney, in his final argument, said that the disturbances were a result of a "supernatural cause." After the final arguments ended, Angelo was found not guilty.

Angelo was a human agent poltergeist, HAP. He, according to his mother, resented working and not being paid what he thought he was worth. Had his mother been able to understand and speak English, I wonder how many other unpleasant emotions he felt. I believe that he felt frustrated as well as the resentment.
