There are two ways “poltergeist girl” could be interpreted:

  1. Carol Anne Freeling: This is the most likely meaning. Carol Anne is the young daughter in the classic horror film “Poltergeist” (1982) who becomes a conduit for the spirits haunting her family’s home. The film’s success, and the heartbreaking performance by actress Heather O’Rourke, made Carol Anne an iconic character in the genre.

  2. Heather O’Rourke: Heather O’Rourke, the actress who played Carol Anne, tragically passed away in 1988 at the young age of 12. Some might refer to her as the “poltergeist girl” due to her association with the film.
