The Poltergeist is a normal speed ghost. They have the ability to throw objects further and more frequent than what normal ghosts would throw during a hunt. Personally, i prefer using plates during a hunt because it is easier to see and heavier. They can be separate on the table so it can throw far. You can make a “polty pile” (stacking items on top of each other) of objects ONLY in ghost room, and you have a chance to see the pile explode. DO NOT make a polty pile outside of the ghost room or on tables.
