Phenomena in artwork: Poltergeist
The poltergeist phenomenon causes the dead Ghost of Howard graves, who protects Lauren Kite. Every poltergeist manifestation is accompanied by bursts of electromagnetic energy: lamps explode, the car headlights lit without the battery. The bodies of the dead poltergeist the people remain warm, and their muscles are spontaneously reduced for at least six hours after death.
Poltergeist easily interact with objects of the material world: lifts and moves objects (with no apparent limits to their size: knives, tables, chairs, people), causes injury to people (hit the face, break the inside of the larynx), causes a car accident.
One of the manifestations of the poltergeist is the demonstration of Lauren scene of his own murder. She hears voices and other sounds and sees the blood flowing in the tub out of nowhere.
The actions of the poltergeist are quite reasonable and aimed at achieving a particular goal. However, he may change this objective in response to a request from Lauren: in the beginning, he sought only to protect her, then at her request he spared his killer and helps to expose it.
