From the German words “polter” ("to make sound" and "to rumble") and Geist ("ghost" and "spirit"), a poltergeist is fundamentally a “noisy” or “rumble” ghost. And that is exactly what appeared to happen on the night of February 10, 1935 in the basement of building number 43 on Francisco Giner de Gràcia street. This is when the Montroig and Mendoza family heard a faint banging sound throughout the walls, which was slowly getting louder and louder. What followed was a series of events which were witnessed by the family, neighbors, and even the media. But what really happened that night? We may never really know…

Stay safe out there.

With love,

Saaniya and Maddie x
