Rock throwing poltergeist
I was reading on Cryptomundo Loren Coleman’s post about the possibility of cases where rocks, inexplicably are thrown around a certain area, either towards a person, house or randomly, could be linked to Bigfoot, or Sasquatch.
Rock (or any object) throwing poltergeist activities have been recorded for ages. (hence the origin of the word poltergeist; “noisy spirit”). Mr. Coleman makes a good point about the possibility that most of these cases could be the product of a Bigfoot throwing rocks, which is a rudimentary technique that most apes use.
It could be a vice-versa thing. Where people in the woods who experience rocks being hurdled at them or their homes are victims of a poltergeist and not a Bigfoot.
I remember this story I read about awhile back. About a ghost of a child that would play mischievous pranks on the owners of a repair shop. The case was heavily witnessed by scores of customers and even some insurance agents that were investigating a break-in to the shop. The famous paranormal investigator Maurice Grosse ( “Endfield” poltergeist) heavily documented this case, as well as another professor.
The phenomenon of object throwing is nothing new, but it is rare.
I remember of another story involving a house being pelted by stones in or around the Big Bear area in California. I wish I still had the book where I read that from, as I cannot recall the exact events or location.
Here is the case of Pete the Poltergeist. The rock throwing boy ghost.

Javier, I have a book which is titled ‘Strangely Enough!’ by C.B. Colby, Copyright 1959, and then reprinted in 1963 by Scholastic, published by arrangement with Sterling Publishing Co., Inc. On page 12 is the story which is titled ‘Falling Objects from Heaven’. It has a small paragraph about a house in Fresno, California. It then goes on to tell about an intriguing incident in Chico, California in 1922. I’m sure that’s what you’re talking about.
Javier, I thought I’d just go ahead and send the story since isn’t that long. Story: ‘Falling Objects from Heaven’, excerpt from the book ‘Strangely Enough!’ by C.B. Colby. [ There have been a great many accounts of mysterious objects falling from the heavens. Some have been explained eventually, but others never have been. [ In my home town, for example, many years ago, there was a sudden rash of falling snowballs from the sky one Sunday morning while almost everyone was in church. A few folks were almost beaned by these freshly packed projectiles from the sky, and my own father had the distinction of solving this short-lived mystery. He was the one to catch me in the belfry. [ On the other side of the country, in California, there have been cases of such falling objects which were even more mysterious, and with which I had nothing whatever to do! [ At one time, heavy walnuts, small stones, and even small bones were hurled upon a house in Fresno. Even some of the investigating police officers were struck, but no “thrower” was found and the mystery remained unsolved. [ Small figures, nails, and bits of broken tile fell into a small printing plant in Los Angeles, near the City Hall. It was reported in a newspaper dated July 2, 1939. [ One of the most intriguing and unusual incidents occurred in a section of the little town of Chico, California, in 1922. The objects, which fell in one particular area, consisted of oval rocks of various sizes. Some were tiny things weighing less than an ounce, while others were real dangers weighing nearly a pound. These rocks always fell from a great height, and on one day {March 16) they were warm to the touch. The next day a heavy fall of them rained down upon a crowd of curiosity seekers, injuring one of them. [ Police checked the entire area around this “target” spot for clues as to where the objects came from, but they found nothing – no person who might have had something to do with them, nor anything else that could account for them. A professor from one of the local colleges joined the investigation and later reported that some of the rocks were of such a size that they could not have been thrown into the area by “ordinary means.” [ The Chico police marshal, who had seen and heard the stones himself, spent two months trying to solve the mystery, but to no avail. He finally gave up the investigation, yet the stones continued to fall for several more months. [ Finally they stopped of their own accord, as though tired of mystifying the residents of Chico. No one has yet been able to explain them.
TammyMom,
That’s the one.
I think these are all bizarre cases. One of the most logical explanation would be that it could be a small tornado picking up objects and through heavy winds, carrying them great distances. The only problem is, there are no tornadoes in California.
A person doing this can also be an explanation, but the said person would have to be several yards away and have enough strength to hurl a one pound rock that far.
Strange.
Thanks for the info.

Hey Javier, Actually, there ARE tornadoes in California. But what happened in Chico was supernatural. The rocks fell each day at 3pm, and on one occasion, the newspaper editor received a note, signed “The Ghost:” who claimed that the next time they fall, he’d make some FLOAT down. And sure enough, with observers from the L.A. Times, they watched them come straight down (not flung) and floating! Decades prior, in 1878, both freshwater and saltwater fish fell together from the sky over Chico. These are called apports, and are typical of ghosts’ demonstrations in seance. The rocks were noted to be warm to the touch, which is often the case with apports due to the molecules/atoms being accelerated to dematerialize the item for transport. In the Bell Witch story, the ghost brought the mother of the household fruits only found in other parts of the world, and dropped them onto her bed. You can find the story of Chico’s falling rocks recounted/dramatized in the 1950’s T.V. show on psychic phenomena called “One Step Beyond”(1959-1961). Poltergeist activity is sometimes a person’s PK or psychokenesis acting out, but other times, it is a ghost horsing around. Your Pk ability is one of countless natural abilities of your spirit that are natural to the next life, but sometimes activate here. Your spirit will at times express/assert itself in this dimension where its powers are found alarming. Sometimes due to stress you’re undergoing, or because you have a high aptitude for it. Also, it can be deliberately developed. I’ve seen rock throwing. It happens, and is even documented by the (much frightened and perplexed) ancient Romans. Cheers ! And thanks for this great website. p.s. Was “The Ghost” a man in secret who was using PK to do this, and who wrote the note? OR… Was the note written by an actual ghost?? ANSWER: Either is possible. There’s nothing to stop a ghost from writing a note. They deliver written notes all the time, in seance.
Rand in L.A.,
Thank you for the information. I was not aware that Chico had a long history of this phenomenon.
I don’t remember reading about the letter being sent to the editor, that sounds more like a person perpetrating the hoax. Or maybe someone who heard about it and trying to take credit.

Javier, always nice to hear back from you. I like your careful skepticism. It’s the greatest of importance! However, I suspect it was a ghost sending the note, since he stated that “the next time, the rocks would float,” which they hadn’t done before. And as I mentioned, they sure enough did ! Also, it would likely be a ghost dropping all those stones repeatedly, because the level of such a feat would require pure spirit power; more than what we can accomplish trapped in our bodies, using PK. I watched the 2 excellent videos above, and interestingly, the man in the 2nd one states that the little ghost boy dropped an orange into a bucket of water right in front of him. Reminded me of the (Bell Witch) ghost named Kate bringing Lucy Bell oranges (and other fruit). Also, it’s interesting he mentions sitting in his car and seeing a black mist/mass approaching him from the sky and entering his car resulting in several metal bolts appearing on the floor. This visual form is the same throughout history, and is as I mentioned, the dematerialized mass of solid objects in transport. Here is an example: “At Marsala, on the western coast of Sicily, a small dark cloud appeared in a calm sky. It gradually increased in size and eventually shed a shower of stones onto the town, some of which damaged slates and roofs.
Niles Weekly Register, 48:397, August 8, 1835″
“The appearance of a small, dark cloud, often red, yellow or black, in an otherwise clear sky, has often been reported as heralding a deluge of bizarre material.”
Beleive it or not Javier, but persons have been transported the same way!
Lastly, I don’t know if you’ve heard of them, but presently there is a very powerful home circle (weekly seance group) having a lot of success with apports, written notes, and other phenomena. They’re called the Felix Group, and are in Germany. Check ‘em out some time: http://felixcircle.blogspot.com/2009/05/signs-of-eternity-felix-group-in-2009.html
A gentleman by the name of Kai, who I’ve chatted with and followed for a year, is the leader, and like you, takes an entirely scientific approach. He questions everything and avoids making absolute conclusions, which you really can’t make with the spirit world — until you get there! lol Their Spirit Guide is Hans Bender, and such circles are multiplying around the world, with astounding results. Spirit promises to prove life after death; probably by means of allowing themselves to be filmed while materializing into a solid person. Watch the horizon; it’s coming!
The thing is, is they’re REAL. But I just haven’t concluded as to whether they’re our departed loved ones, or imposters(?).
Again, Happy Holidays Javier and Have a Great New Year. (Your site is extremely helpful, comprehensive, and interesting. THANKS FOR YOUR WORK IN IT!)
