Editing Ghost Hunt:Volume1 Chapter4 (section)

While everyone was watching, Naru-chan rewinded the recording. He replayed the video. The recording was when the glass windows broke. 

There were no camcorders in the entrance hall because they were all in the ceremony room. So in the end, nothing was recorded in those camcorders except the sound. 

But the camcorder in that room was working. And right then, in the classroom on the west side, the chair moved. Apparently no one touched the chair. 

In front of the blackboard, a dusty chair suddenly started moving little by little, until it reached the middle of the room. 

It moved nearly fifty cm. 

"How did that happen?" I raised my head, asking Naru-chan. 

"...I'm not sure." 

Upon hearing Naru-chan's reply, Kuroda-san declared from behind, "Is it a poltergeist?" 

"Poltergeist?" I asked. 

"It means ‘noisy spirit.’ Like when an object moves or a sound is produced. —Right, Shibuya-san?" 

"Right. You seem to have a clear understanding of this." 

"This is common sense." 

...Sorry I don't have common sense. 

"I don't think this is a poltergeist," Naru-chan stated. 

"Why?" 

"Objects moved by poltergeists are usually warm." 

"Is there a problem...?" 

"According to the thermography, that chair's temperature did not rise. This kind of thing never happens." 

Kuroda-san was dumbstruck. 

I remember that thermography is supposed to record temperatures. 

Oh— I see. 

John turned towards Naru-chan. "Aren't there other conditions that would categorize this as a poltergeist? I think this is a poltergeist." 

Naru-chan smiled slightly. "Tisane." 

"What's that?" Miko-san asked. 

Masako shot a look of contempt at her. "Are you really a psychic?" 

Annoyed, Naru-chan explained, "Of course, Hara-san would know. E.Tisane, a French officer, classified poltergeists." 

"Huh?" I sighed. Looking around, I noticed that Bou-san didn't seem to know about this either. Kuroda-san just looked clueless. 

"There are nine categories in total. Explosions, opening and closing of doors, noises, knocking... Out of the nine conditions, three occurred here: a door closing by itself, a moving object, and a shattered window. That isn't enough to qualify this as a poltergeist haunting." 

Unable to hold back my question any longer, I asked, "So the thing that attacked Kuroda-san was..?" 

Suddenly Bou-san asked, "What did you say?" 

...Ah— We didn't tell them about Kuroda-san's incident yet. 

Since I accidentally spouted it out, Kuroda-san had no choice but to explain again. Meanwhile, Naru-chan carefully re-examined the TV that didn't record the incident. 

Naru-chan glared angrily at me for a moment while Kuroda-san proudly shared her story.
