Poltergeist
An invisible spirit that hurls objects and sows chaos.
You cannot see it. You can see what it does. A chair flies across the room. Books rip themselves apart. A suit of armor reassembles and walks three steps before collapsing in a heap of clanging metal. The Poltergeist is anger without a body — a tantrum preserved in ectoplasm. It was probably human once, but whatever slight drove it to this permanent state of fury has long been forgotten. Now it simply rages at everything: the living for living, the furniture for existing, the walls for standing. It will throw anything not nailed down. And then it will throw the nails.
