In recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis (poltergeist) case reports, new phenomena tend to appear where previously observed phenomena are expected, rather than repeating on demand.

“In "poltergeist" cases new phenomena usually occur when previously observed phenomena are expected... Such "displacement-effects" are typical of parapsychology.”
Evidence
No evidence records attached yet — this claim is held on its source anchor alone: the ledger knows where the proposition is stated and has admitted no observation behind it. A source is not evidence.
an honest empty state
This claim is in the ledger but not in the current edition's featured set. Nothing here has been assessed — that absence is information, not an oversight.
Still missing: plain-language gloss, credibility assessment, diagnosticity assessment, strongest objection, what would change our mind. A claim gains them when an edition features it and the edition's adopted assessment supplies the full treatment — a decision the panel reviews, not a field anyone flips.
