Ellore has produced a phenomenon which, on its occurrence in a house in Hydeville, New York State, 92 years ago, led to the formation of scientific societies in the United States and Great Britain for research into its causes. The movement of furniture in the house of Mr K. Seshayya near Ellore without visible agency may be attributed to a poltergeist, or spirit which is said to make its presence known by movements of material objects, either visibly or more often in the dark, ringing bells and playing on musical instruments without human agency.
