Never really associated the two before but now you mention it, there was a period maybe 15 years ago where we had some odd stuff happening in the house - cupboard doors, things moving off shelves - and Sheffield had a pretty rough summer for storms that year. Could be coincidence obviously.
What I'd want to know is whether there's a measurable mechanism here. Is it the electromagnetic changes in the atmosphere beforehand, the drop in air pressure, or something about the electrical discharge itself that might interact with whatever is producing poltergeist phenomena? Because if the correlation is consistent across multiple cases that starts to look less like coincidence and more like a pattern worth investigating properly.
Has anyone actually logged this systematically? Like kept a journal of incidents alongside weather records? That seems like the sort of data that would actually tell us something useful rather than just anecdote stacking on top of anecdote.
