Just finished reading Dark Nights: Seasonal Patterns in British Paranormal Activity by Dr. James Hartley (published Autumn Books, 2023, £16.99).

We've been experiencing poltergeist activity in our semi-detached in Headingley since early October. Started with small things - keys going missing, doors slamming - but last month escalated.

Two minutes is a decent observation window. Could you describe the shape more precisely? Triangular, rectangular, disc-like? Also did it make any sound whatsoever or was it completely silent?

I'm posting this anonymously because I work in a professional capacity where this sort of thing would absolutely destroy my credibility.

Your doors opening thing reminds me of those stories about Poltergeists - supposedly they're about telekinetic activity triggered by adolescents in the house.

Welcome from Yorkshire. The Flannan Isles thing is fascinating and criminally underrepresented on here given how genuinely inexplicable it is.
