The Amherst Poltergeist, Human Agent or Demonic Entity?
The year was 1878 when psychic phenomena, psi, invaded the lives of the Teed family who lived in Amherst, Nova Scotia in a crowded two story cottage. The family that was plagued by mysterious and terrifying events was the Teed family, Daniel, wife Olive, two young sons, George and Willie, Jennie and Esther Cox, Olives sisters, Olive’s brother, William and Daniel’s brother, John. The poltergeist called itself Bob, and, one night, etched on a wall, “Esther Cox, you are mine to kill!” It has been said that there was a man named Bob MacNeal who had tried to force himself on her, but was unsuccessful. Shortly after this incident, he disappeared. Esther was the focus of this horror and was 19 at the time. Was she the agent or the primary victim or both?

The Rev. John Wesley and the Poltergeist
John Wesley is best known as the Founder of the Methodist faith. His father, Samuel was also a minister. When John was a child, he and his family lived in Epworth Rectory. Queen Mary gave the house to Samuel. It was located in Lincolnshire, Isle of Axholme, England. The nearest village was Wroot. One daughter, Hetty, said it was a town without wit, wisdom or grace. In 1709, the rectory was destroyed by fire, then rebuilt. Approximately a decade later, for about two months, the family was subject to an something unseen that performed the usual poltergeist pranks and also had some unusual talents. Members of the family kept details of the incidents in their journals and letters, documenting the case.

Unquiet Coffins
There have been cases of coffins being tossed about in crypts. The most well known case is that of the Chase crypt in Barbados which happened from 1812 to 1820. The earliest record I could locate was that of the French Crypt, Stanton, Suffolk, England, 1810. In 1844, there was another case, the Buxhoewden Crypt on the Island of Oesel in the Baltic Sea. Various explanations have been offered including a minor earthquake, subterranean streams, grave robbers and electro magnetic theory. Even minor earthquakes are felt and the way the coffins are placed is logical argument evidence against this theory. There, in these cases, is no evidence of water in the crypts. The locks showed no evidence as having been tampered with and two of the crypts were sealed and the floors dusted with sand or ashes that were not disturbed. The coffins in the Chase grave were made of lead. Apparently the ones in the Buxhoewden crypt were made of wood because some were battered open. Is it possible that electromagnetic forces could toss lead coffins about? Why was nothing else in the area affected? Could these forces toss wood coffins about?

The Documented Case The Exorcist was Based On
The year was 1949. William Peter Blatty was a student at Georgetown University. The case was reported in the newspapers. Demonic possession in 1949? The afflicted was a 13 ½ year old boy. The early accounts called him “Roland Doe,” while later accounts gave him the name of “Douglass Deene.” Blatty read and Associated Press account of the case in the Washington Post, then did extensive research. Twenty years later, when he wrote his book, he changed so many of the details that it bears little resemblance to the actual case. The boy’s symptoms followed the classic stages of possession and J. B. Rhine, one of the founders of modern parapsychology was consulted. Finally, the boy was sent to St. Louis and exorcized at least twenty times. There are two books I used as references for this article which are cited at the end of the article. One was written by Rosemary Ellen Guiley and the other by Colin Wilson. Because of one glaring mistake I have problems with the Wilson book, which will be addressed in the article.
