POLTERGEIST is a magic and science organization formed after the events of World War III, and is led by Útgarða-Loki the scientific Majin. The organization is unusually pragmatic, despite having its origins from the Märchen or (Multi Active Rescue), as they specifically use both science and magic to achieve their goals. With their actions in the magic side and encroachment of the science, they are the primary antagonistic organization of the Under Heavenly Destruction Arc.

Near the end of Nightmare Fiction Arc, after the surviving members of POLTERGEIST gathered in New Caledonia to manhunt for Enshuu Mitsuari and Misaki Dairenji, to take vengeance on them because Avery died saving them, they are all defeated by Thor. With this, the later depowering of Thor, and the earlier order by Cendrillon to crush any POLTERGEIST member found in Russia and America, it is likely that POLTERGEIST has been dissolved as an organization.

Etymology
A Poltergeist is a type of phenomenon that was believed to cause malfunctions in machinery and make weapons such as airplanes unusable. That was a new generation of the occult that had only started being passed down by humans once the concept of machines had been created. It was a symbol of one side of the world eating into the other side. In World War III the Science side won and increased its power, to counteract this, POLTERGEIST was born, a type of occult that would devour it.

Background
The exact time that the organization is formed is unknown, but the reason it was created was due to the events of World War III that Misaki Dairenji created. They are an ideology-based group, whose tenets were formed out of frustration directed toward Destiny City and the science-magic side who won the war, despite the fact that they did not choose Misaki Dairenji and her methods as representatives of the whole of the magic-science side.

During the events of the of World War III, the members were either watching or taking part in the battle to see if Destiny City would survive it. However, they did not want to have anything to do with World War III. Moreover, they did not have anything to gain from helping Misaki Dairenji, as even if she succeeded, her method would not have saved the comatose children as she thought it would. Since the opposite occurred, they did not want Misaki Dairenji, The Church of the Night and their Alliance with the La Résistance's losses to be forced upon them, and declared their own War with Destiny City.

Their existence is later detected by people from Destiny City, some of which created a faction known as the Thirteen Wizard Saints, dedicated to opposing it as Destiny City was making no plans in fighting against them. However, POLTERGEIST also detected its existence and begins studying them as well.

Principles
POLTERGEIST is similar to many magic and science cabals, and is an ideological group, or criminal as referred to by Worst, and is sensitive in having their group's reputation being tarnished for things that they do not do, for example, a bombing. However, unlike the magic cabals that have hundreds or thousands of years of history under their name, POLTERGEIST is a concentration of the individual dissatisfaction and discontent of the magicians who sensed things heading to a loss during World War III. Moreover, their magic is based off various mythologies, apparently as a backlash to Fiamma of the Right using Christianity as a basis for his plans as well as him making himself the representative of the magic side in the war. It can be assumed that the reason why various Mythologies was chosen was because Útgarða-Loki and Othinus wanted it to, having her magic based around various mythologies, as far back as stealing the title from Ollerus.

It has been shown that the group doesn't exclusively use magic but has also take science and technology, such as using balloons to make Radio Island float, and is exemplified by Avery Martinez who is one of the organization's science oriented cores that provided assistance when members had to rely on scientific technology to carry out their plans. As an extension to this, it has been shown that members of this organization are trained or possess skills capable of fighting Harmageddoen, as seen with Cendrillon, St. Mary and Hestia.

They apparently have no qualms in using other people for their goal, and will discard them after they become unneeded, as what happened with Sigma and Neve Wynter and, The Foo Fighters.

Finally, the members of POLTERGEIST are only following Útgarða-Loki's and Othinus’ orders because they believe that magic gods like them can grant them their desires that they themselves could not achieve on their own, have shown that they are willing to turn on them if Útgarða-Loki or Othinus doesn’t pay them back for all their hard work. Similarly, Útgarða-Loki and Othinus sees them as nothing more than pawns. As she symbolizes Odin, she also symbolizes his aspect of being the god of betrayal. This is exemplified by her just using the entirety of the organization as decoy in order to make them believe, as well as her enemies, that she can only create the lance of Gungnir through a very complex ritual with a bunch of stringent requirements. And though she could make it on her own, the infinite possibilities that is brought about by her being a Magic God, would make her likely fail if she tried, necessitating in her using POLTERGEIST for the task of creating Gungnir.

Goals
POLTERGEIST is controlled by Othinus' power and Útgarða-Loki's cunning and smooth talking. POLTERGEIST's purpose is to basically, as stated by Dai-Sensei, is to "grant her selfish desires", whether or not they know the full details, as what Thor, not knowing full well what Othinus wanted to do with the lovely captured and tortured young women.

The main goal of POLTERGEIST is to thoroughly strengthen Othinus so she can match the giant weight that is Destiny City. Moreover, since the Deus Ex is a reference point for the world and reverts distortions back to the reference point, is clashes completely with Othinus, who wants to completely distort the world beyond recognition. Already, POLTERGEIST has sent a message to Victoria that they are definitely targeting her, and is stated by Ollerus that they would kill her without hesitation if he gets in their way. Moreover, Othinus herself tried to crush Victoria's left hand in order to force it to move on to another container, but to no avail. The main reason why the members of POLTERGEIST are doing all of this to empower a magic god is because they want her to grant their desires that they themselves are unable to.

Othinus is later able to make the Gungnir on her own and ultimately distort the world with it. However, while putting Victoria Amicus through countless worlds and finally killing her in the end, Othinus realize what she wanted was someone who can understand her, which she found in Victoria Amicus. She choose to restore the world to save Victoria and face her end at the hand of the world for all she did.

Finished objectives

 * Create a highly complicated floating fortress known as Radio Island to threaten the whole world, though most specifically, Destiny City, just to get a threatening message towards the Thirteen Wizard Saints, expecting them to intercept it.
 * Create a furnace for the creation of Gungnir using the energy of the volcanic eruption at Pompeii. The volcanic eruption that had occurred in Popeii has a higher output compared to a volcanic eruption in Iceland and Hawaii. Moreover, its energy was extracted and controlled, by Mjölnir.
 * Test whether or not a esper is possible by making an area a battlefield, specifically, Grand Magic Games, and determining if a supernatural phenomenon would occur when the world was greatly distorted.
 * Steal the plans of Gungnir from Brunhild Eiktobel's mind, who has only partially created it.
 * Use a substitute for Darker then Black, namely the original Darc's organs, which can produce Dark Matter. It can be molded into a doll, and use it to form a esper in Darker then Black's stead. It is also a plan by Avery Martinez, who disguised himself as Thor. The esper creation through Darc's Dark Matter is successful, and was used as a parallel processor alongside magic in order to fill in the holes that magic could not.
 * Distort the world through the use of Gungnir. This was achieved however, not from the complex ritual set-up by POLTERGEIST but by Othinus becoming a perfect Magic God and using her powers to make it on her own.

Failed objectives

 * Capture Darker than Black, a being who is untainted by both magic and science, and can survive conventional means of harm, and forcibly modify her brain in order to become a esper. The plan was trumped by the efforts of several people, most notably Victoria Amicus after her plan inadvertently changed Darker than Black into something unusable for Othinus' plans. As well as Thor, whose deal with Misaki, pushed Victoria to prevent POLTERGEIST from obtaining her in the first place.
 * With the esper in place, the being in question will distort the world enough for Marian Slingeneyer to create Gungnir. The lance created through this complex ritual was ultimately interrupted by Avery Martinez, Enshuu Mitsuari, Misaki Dairenji, Chou-Chou and her Goon Squad, and the Thirteen Wizard Saints and, The Foo Fighters.

Enlistment
It is unknown if Othinus or Útgarða-Loki gathers the magicians around her or if the magicians searches her out themselves. However, one case of a person being drawn to the organization is Avery Martinez after Shana Dairenji's persistence.

Naming
As part of their theme of using mythology to reject Misaki Dairenji's Christian basis, core or true members usually have names derived from various mythologies and sagas. Names of the core members may have been derived from their accompanying Norse figures, and maybe associated with their Magic, as explained with Idol Theory. Most likely, true members take Norse or Greco-Roman names after joining POLTERGEIST, as with the case of Útgarða-Loki, known as Bersi, and Sigyn.

Hierarchy
Base on Thor's experience, there is apparently no respect to hierarchy of the organization. Probably, the magicians only follow orders directly from Útgarða-Loki, and may disregard the orders of those who have a higher rank, such as Misaki Dairenji not paying much attention to Thor's warnings.
