Poltergeist

Almost everything shown in the movie "paranormal" phenomena find explanation after it turns out that the building wielding gang of gangsters. The only exception is the spontaneous movement and levitation of the candle with the candlestick on the table in the tavern room. This phenomenon is noticed only by Ferdy, but he is so scared of them that fails in time to pay attention to the rest of the characters in the film.

I must say that the presence of the paranormal in the tavern could not be explained, and the reason for this behavior remains unknown candles.
