“They” Wont Stop Throwing Things

Poltergeists have been worrying an Indian family occupying a house in the Suva suburb of Tamavua.

Without warning, rocks and stones have been raining down on the house, but despite the con sternation and even the embarrass ment of the police who patrolled the yard and surrounding area, the stoning continued. After a couple of days and no arrest the gendarmes gave up, and returned to the more sobering business of arresting human beings.

Says a Suva correspondent: “The area surrounding the house has now

been thoroughly searched by police and relatives and friends of the family, but all to no avail. In fact while the police were present, part of the iron wall of the house was suddenly pushed out as if somebody had run into it with a battering ram from the inside. But there was nobody in the house. A kettle of water was also supposed to have sailed off the primus and to have sat itself on a nearby shelf, “The family says it was compelled to leave a former house about two miles away, because similar hap penings got on its nerves.”
