Yeah this lines up with what I've been reading about for years. There's a fairly well-documented pattern in the literature where poltergeist cases cluster around households with ongoing emotional tension, particularly involving adolescents. Roney-Dougall and others have written about the idea that psychokinetic energy (if that's what we're dealing with) essentially bleeds outward during heightened emotional states.
What I find interesting is whether the activity is actually caused by the emotional spike, or whether the location itself amplifies existing tension and both things are feeding each other. Chicken and egg problem basically.
I investigated a property in Bath a couple years back where the family reported objects moving and doors slamming predominantly during arguments between the parents. When I dug into it the husband admitted they'd actually started arguing more after moving in. So which came first?
Anyone else noticed a directional pattern - like does the activity seem to originate from one person in the household rather than being spread evenly? That would say a lot about the source IMO.
