The word Poltergeist, which comes from the German Poltern, “make noise,” and Geist, “ghost,” is a paranormal phenomenon of a violent and inexplicable nature. The events occurred in the mezzanine of the number 7 of the Plaza del Esparto in Valencia. It was the first police intervention, required by neighbors who spoke of strange events, in this case of the Civil Guard, of a supposed haunted house or poltergeist, where the blows, noises and other circumstances resulted in the press baptizing that place as ” the house of the Elf of Esparto “or” the house of toucame roque “.
