Police in Siberia have reportedly requested backup from local priests to exorcise a poltergeist from a haunted house.

A police report cited by the Tomsk.ru (http://www.tomsk.ru/news/view/131416) news portal described officers as having seen furniture and appliances scattered around the residence as well as "a knife sticking out of the kitchen wall."
"A closet fell in the bedroom (in the immediate vicinity of the police officer) in the presence of police officers at the address," the report reads.

"Afterwards, books fell out of a rack and a stick flew out of an unoccupied room."
The family of three residing at the Maraksa village house reported seeing flying books and kitchenware, as well as falling cabinets, in the 48 hours before police arrived.
"There was no rational explanation to be found of the specified events," the Feb. 12 report said.
The phenomenon could be explained by "pagan rituals or esoteric interests" practiced at the house, the state-run RIA Novosti news agency cited (https://ria.ru/incidents/20180213/1514575149.html?referrer_block=index_daynews2_2) clergy in the region as saying.

A spokesman for the local Russian Orthodox Church confirmed to Tomsk.ru that the clergymen consecrated the haunted house and stayed overnight.
"The so-called 'poltergeist' has quieted down somewhat upon the priest's arrival, but then these phenomena continued again," the spokesman was quoted as saying.

I can offer a different explanation , just my observation ... something I have been studying - fluidal forces ... everything that surrounds the human being gets laden with fluidal energy ... an energy produced by our thoughts , over time this builds up like a battery... the longer a person lives in one place the more things are charged , positive or negative ... an older spirit in a person can enter a place charged with fluidal power ,ghost can appear,things move, doors ,windows open/close on their own ... the more evolved a person's eternal spirit is the more active the fluidal forces ... the experience can be positive or negative depending on the former persons thinking patterns ... they can be active whether we sleep or are awake ... someone walked in fear , and triggered stored fluidal energy ... we are depositing energy into everything constantly ,everything that surrounds us is affected positive or negative ... the lesson-how you think and what you think will set the foundation for the future ... those in the future will be forced to deal with our collective fluidal energy positive/negative ...

Thank you, Ghostrider for your explanation.
It could be very true. I do not know why, it's just that I feel that. It connects some dots for me.

Coins rain down on Madhya Pradesh, India (https://thefortean.com/2018/02/18/rain-of-coins-in-madhya-pradesh/)

This blog will occasionally cover fortean cases I've turned up that simply intrigue me. I'm not endorsing them, just putting them up for discussion and hopefully some further investigation. A good example is the rain of coins in Madhya Pradesh, India in October 2017. Rains of coins are relatively rare in the fortean literature.

According to Patrika.com (https://www.patrika.com/sagar-news/rain-of-coins-in-the-village-of-sagar-1-1832334/), the website of an Hindi-language daily newspaper, the strange event had taken place in Devlochri village, part of the Jaisinagar Block in the Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh. A translation of the Hindi article follows:
"Rain of coins: In a village in Madhya Pradesh (MP) it is raining coins from the sky...get to know about these weird incidents.

A thunderstorm in the district was accompanied by coins falling intermittently from the sky along with rain.

Sagar: You must have heard about it raining fishes and turtles during the rainy season, but this must be the first time that you will hear about it raining coins. That too, not one or two coins but hundreds of coins. Such a weird and impossible event, a first of its kind, was reported from Devlochri village of Jaisinagar Block.

On Wednesday afternoon, [recalled the villagers] clouds had gathered, it went dark at noon and a thunderstorm hit the district. Dozens of people and children witnessed coins falling freely from the sky along with rain. Everybody was wonderstruck hearing this and some people even rushed there to collect coins. But it had stopped raining by the time they reached, though some kids were seen with the coins in hands.

What the villagers say

Villager Hemraj Pal recalled that when he was coming back after a bath, there was a crowd of excited children near the house making a racket. When he stopped to inquire, he was told there had been a rain of coins. He said, 'At first I didn't believe it, but when I visited to verify it I found it was true'. He added that the children further concurred that each coin could be heard as it hit the ground. The coins were of all denominations including one, two and five rupee coins. A few young children of the village - Bira, Shiva, Jaya, Deepesh and Som - had collected hundreds of coins!

Coins fall at two or three places

According to the information gathered from the villagers, the coins did not rain down at just one place, but at two or three places. The villagers, including children, had seen coins falling at Panchayat Bhawan, at the river shore and at the edge of the hills." The image accompanying the original article (https://www.patrika.com/sagar-news/rain-of-coins-in-the-village-of-sagar-1-1832334/) shows some children holding what appears to be coins. No eyewitnesses are quoted in the story and I can't find any other references to the case.

Personally, if I had to choose between raining fish and coins, coins would win every time.
