This is not a separate work: it is the Society for Psychical Research's own Psi Encyclopedia overview of the psychological aspects of poltergeist cases, one article inside the same continuously maintained online reference this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that encyclopedia rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general Psi Encyclopedia record, or alongside another of its articles, is one editorial voice, not corroboration. Its real limit is the encyclopedia's own limit: an advocacy-adjacent field reference rather than a religiously neutral academic body. Use it for what this specific entry states about documented poltergeist investigations, including the 1967 Rosenheim case studied by Hans Bender and colleagues; a claim needing independent scholarly assessment of those investigations needs a source produced outside the Society.
