Never had poltergeist stuff myself but I've noticed the same pattern gets brought up constantly on these forums - storms, activity spikes, people freak out. Every single time.
My honest take? Storms mess with your head. You're already on edge, every creak sounds louder, your brain is primed to notice things it normally filters out. Classic confirmation bias territory.
That said, there's probably something worth looking at around infrasound from severe weather. Low frequency sound waves below human hearing can cause people to feel uneasy, see things in peripheral vision, even feel like they're being watched. Some researchers have linked this to haunting reports. So maybe storms genuinely produce conditions that amplify whatever is or isn't happening in your house.
Anyone got actual footage from these storm incidents? Because thats the thing with poltergeist claims generally - loads of anecdotes, very little that holds up. I'm mostly a Bigfoot guy but the methodology problems are the same across all this stuff. If storms reliably trigger activity then someone somewhere should have predicted it and set up cameras. Has anyone actually done that?
