Here’s something you don’t read every day. The headline was surreal: Two Women Report Ghost Has Been Having Sex With Them.
Two women in Washington State in the U. S. claimed that a ghost ” has been placing sensors on their bodies and visiting them in their house […] They said that the ghost has been having sexual intercourse with them.”
I swear I’m not making this up.
I am always interested in ghosts and sex because lots of my erotic short stories have ghosts and sex in them. I don’t do shapeshifters or hot, emo elves. I do ghosts for the most part. Ornery ghosts, too.
I had heard of women claiming to have been attacked by ghosts, but it was surreal to see such a matter-of-fact article about it in a local newspaper. Have you ever seen the movie “The Entity”? It’s a 1981 flick about a woman who was repeatedly raped by a ghost in front of her husband and children. The movie was slammed by critics when it first came out because it was rather explicit, but it became a cult favorite. It was supposedly based on the real life astral rapes of Carla Moran. Whether Moran actually exists has been up for debate for years. I’ve seen a reality show that supposedly interviewed her and had shown pictures of the astral being that had raped her, but the jury is still out on whether or not the woman actually exists. The movie was remade in Japan and is slated to be released in 2009. I’m curious to see it. Can’t wait until it comes out on DVD.
It would probably be exciting to have consensual sex with a ghost, but being raped by a ghost would be horrifying. First off, you can’t see the attack coming. Ghosts tend to be invisible. At the same time, a playful ghost could make otherworldly sex lots of fun. I wrote a short story called “Things The Go Hump In The Night” that involved a sexy spanking ghost. The fun thing about this playful ghost was that, since she was invisible, you couldn’t tell when she was going to spank you. When she did, it was very arousing. People who like to be blindfolded while engaging in a little fetish play probably know how exciting it can be to not know when the spanking is coming. That’s what gave me the idea for my story in the first place.
So, not only do ghosts make great characters for sexy fiction, they really do like to have sex with humans, if that Washington State case is any indication. Bored with your very human partner? Find a horny ghost! You’d be in good company.
You never cease to amaze me, Lizzie. Things that go HUMP in the night? lol I love this article. I saw that movie years ago. It was pretty graphic, but oddly compelling. Don’t think I’m up for sex with a ghost though. I need blood pumping through the veins of my lovers. lol
Great blog, Lizzie!!!!!!
Wow damn I thought we had to only worry about horny men. Now we have to worry about horny ghosts. What is a woman to do keep a sayonce.
Lol
I have written stories where ghosts feature prominently, and they are very ornery creatures in my stories. Horny ghosts can be loads of fun.
Then again, when you have a ghost like Sadako in “The Ring” coming after you, things can get pretty scary.
“The Entity” with Barbara Hershey was a frightening movie when it was released. During that era movie makers were exposing the viewing public to something more explicit and mind moving. There are a few movies that relate to ghosts having some sort of relations with the living. Looking back a little further at “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir,” it has been a topic for Hollywood for a while. History has the succubus and incubus as well. Interesting topic for duscussions. One thing is certain, there will be no offspring generated with ghostly encounters. If there were, then you’d have a cry in the night? OK, bad I know, but I could not resist.
