Poltergeists from The Real Ghostbusters "Slimer, Come Home"

Poltergeists are mischievous spirits that are often seen in groups and are often capable of escaping sight. They are relatively harmless, but can use objects to hurt people. They were eventually devoured by their master Ghash.

Equipment

Since poltergeists are a kind of ghost, standard ghostbusting equipment works on them. After Ghash ate his minions and was trapped, the Ghostbusters had to quickly dump the trap into the Containment Unit due to being overloaded by containing too many ghosts.

Poltergeists can be seen with Ecto-Visors and can easily be zapped, trapped, and contained like any other ghost.
