                                                          "In the later 19th Century specific organizations were created for the purpose of Investigating anomalous Phenomena. In Britain, these included the Ghost Club and the Society for Psychical Research (which quickly spread to the United States, Australia and Continental Europe).

                                                          These organizations were mostly concerned with the idea that the soul survived physical death, but they also launched investigations into other odd phenomena - including what we would today call poltergeits - and amassed a large amount of data.
                                                          The Central Person, or 'Focus'
                                                          By about 1900 it was being recognized that physical hauntings, as many called them, were quite different from other hauntings. In particular, it began to be noticed that there was usually a central person, who was called the 'focus'. One of the earliest scientific researchers was the great criminologist Professor Cesare Lombroso of Italy."
