Disruptive spirit (11)

I believe the answer is:

poltergeist

'disruptive spirit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for poltergeist that I've seen before include "Mischievous ghost" , "Destructive spirit" , "Troublesome ghost" , "Noisy spook" , "Disturbing ghost" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and the L.A. Times Daily.
