Why do people call a tricky ghost a polar guy?

Question

I keep hearing about these polar guys moving stuff and taking your keys. Who are they

Answer 1

I don't, I thought they were talking about ghost from the South or North pole.

Answer 2

It's Poltergeist......not polar guy. It is German in origin.......Poltern: meaning-to knock Geist: meaning-spirit

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it as:  a noisy usually mischievous ghost held to be responsible for unexplained noises (as rappings)

LOL T.R. You actually cracked me up! LMAO!

Answer 3

It isn't a "polar guy".  It's "Poultry geist".  It is German for noisy chicken.

Answer 4

A polar guy is a member of a native American group leaving North of the Arctic Circle. They are a pain in the a ss when they hide your keys.

Answer 5

I think he must be related to the shadow man I keep hearing about.

Answer 6

Oh, those are just Santa's elves in the off-season. They're from the North Pole, you see. They are polar guys.They kinda cause mischief when ol' Saint Nick isn't kicking their butts to make toys.

Answer 7

The polar guy comes in with a spoof of cold air. He haunts you and then goes back to his igloo in the sky.

Answer 8

I agree with TR, it's gotta be the elves!!! Unless perhaps it is a dead chicken, in which case it is a poultrygeist.

Answer 9

I think that is my problem too. I have POLAR GUYS.

thanks.

Answer 10

Poltergeist!

Answer 11

If it's being"brought back '' to the same place...maybe it's not being "taken". Maybe you're being "blinded" to it. Maybe it's there all the time..but you just can't "see" it....till later. That makes you think it was taken and brought back. I do believe you because this has happened to me lots of times and it gets very annoying.There's a verse in the Bible that's about this, I think. It says"Satan has blinded them so that they look but do not see." I don't know if it's referring to this or not. I do know that I was "blinded" a long time..about a person I thought I knew..(even physical things about him).(but that's another story I'll save for the skeptics for later)

EDIT..I think that's a cute name for poltergeists..  sound like a child misunderstood what someone said. I like it better than poltergeist.

Answer 12

Poltergeist is a German word that translated into English very roughly means noisy spirit. The spirit theory is very seldom pursued today. Most parapsychologist believe that poltergeist effects are due to RSPK (recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis) and this is due to unexpressed conflict by a person in the location (home or business).

Poltergeist effects include flying objects, falling objects, objects being broken and are usually loud and destructive.

Good news is they last about 2 months at the most.

A good book on this subject is "The Poltergeist" by William Roll

What you are describing is more like the reports of objects moving (not violently) in reported case of hauntings.

Answer 13

In my own research I have found the leprechaun hauntings are very often responsible for what people perceive to be "poltergeists" or "polar guys" as you call them.
