I originally found the idea to look up Rumpelstiltskin on the class twitter feed. I had kind of forgotten about this story but I remember finding it really interesting when I was younger. I think I was also a little afraid of Rumpelstiltskin because I think I had a hard time separating fiction from reality.

I really liked getting to revisit this story as someone in my 20s now. I think there's kind of always this internal battle in my mind about who I feel bad for in this story because honestly they all kind of got tricked.

I got interested in the word poltergeist because I had definitely never associated it with the story of Rumpelstiltskin before! I love stories about creepy stuff like this although the stories always really freak me out and make me scared. One of my favorite creepy things I like to watch is Buzzfeed Unsolved on YouTube. I really enjoy this show because they investigate creepy places but they're super goofy at the same time so it makes it less scary for me to watch.

I was intrigued by the term spirit because I was wondering how it differed from the word poltergeist. Spirit is a more general term I feel like and a poltergeist is kind of specific in that it messes with you al little more.

Finally I was additionally curious about the difference between the term ghost and the term spirit. These were more similar than poltergeist was to either of them. It's a more general term as well.
