What is a Poltergeist?

A poltergeist is a paranormal phenomenon, that usually includes inanimate objects moving or being thrown about, sentient noises (such as impaired knocking, pounding or banging), and on some occasions, physical attacks on those witnessing. Poltergeist activity is probably the most misunderstood form of paranormal activity. The word poltergeist actually means 'noisty ghost' , when translated from German.
According to wikipedia, no conclusive scientific explanation of the events exist up to this day, poltergeist have traditionally  been described in folklore as troublesome spirits.
But, according to http://www.prairieghosts.com/poltergeists1.html , they entirely believe in the existence of Poltergeist's. They believe that Poltergeist cases are the work of actual, intelligent spirits, and are the work of human agents.This particular website goes on to give numerous examples of Poltergeist encounters including: The Borley Rectory, The San Pedro Haunting's and The Macomb Poltergeist, in which they describe the happenings in full.
Many videos have been posted on what is believed to be actual footage of Poltergeist's knocking, but beneath the videos the comments continue to be completely two sided as though people will never be completely convinced on weather it is false or true. So, what do you believe?
