Ho... ly... crap...

This... this forum is a joke right?  It cannot be real.  Please tell me it is not real.

...

Goddamnit... it's real.  This is staggering on a level I cannot begin to describe.  "What the hell?" just doesn't do it justice.  It's about 8 or 9 levels above WTF too.  It's not that the post exists, it's that people seem to be responding to it seriously.  Thankfully, their advice seems to be, "Don't do it," but everyone posting seems to think it's at least possible in principle.  There's no posts that say, "It can't be done, spirits don't carry sperm, go meet a real human/seek help."  Humans frighten me sometimes...

Yeah, it's just... it's not funny, that's how far into the strange it is.  You have to wonder about someone who first came up with the idea, then searched for a likely sounding forum, then decided to post about it on said forum.

The type of person who would have that thought enter their brains, an not immediately think "no, that's stupid", and then go on to share that thought with others, without a hint of irony, I just cant fathom how messed up that person is.

I'd say they are all racist against ghosts.  >:( >:(

I mean just look at some of these quotes.

"ghosts never pay child support either."

"Besides you might get STDS from demons."

If I were a ghost I would be offended.  >:(

Wow.  That's just nuts.  Reminds me of a conversation I had with Cleverbot one time:

The underlying psychological problems are what gave rise to mythological figures like the succubus and incubus. In some Jewish legends, Lilith, Adam's first wife, sexually accosts young men in their sleep to steal their seamen to birth her hordes of demons.

I'm not surprised by this site at all. Sleep paralysis is a real phenomenon and the experience can be very real and terrifying. On the bright side, I doubt all the people posting to the board are really all that crazy. I suspect most of them are trying to make sense of an inexplicable experience and either don't know about sleep paralysis, or refuse to believe their very real experience could have been sleep paralysis. They would rather believe they've seen a ghost than believe something went wrong, even temporarily, with their brain. In many ways a visitation by a horny ghost is a much more comforting thing to accept than not being able to trust what you see and hear.

Hello, I am a 35 year old woman from arizona. for the last 10 years i have been a ghost hunter and have extensive knowledge of the paranormal and imaginary

 :ughh:

this made me wonder... has anyone claimed to have a sexual desire for their god/gods?  Not just someone saying they love jesus, but physically attracted to the idea.  I would think something like that would be more common.

There's at least one cult based on the idea:

Warning: The more you learn about the cult the more disturbing it gets.

It sounds like something that would be common. I'm sure that Ive heard something about that... Maybe it was something a little bigger with the polytheistic gods though.

The last poster to date, who made this helpful suggestion:
Quote
why don't you instead volunteer some of your time doing volunteer work for for some living individuals that could use a hand in life.
seems to have missed the sexual nature of her inquiry.

Or then again, read a different way maybe he didn't.  What exactly did he mean by lending someone a hand?

Isn't there a movie where a woman is raped by a Ghost?

I think it was The Entity.

Yes.

I can't help but think, isn't this what christianity is based on? I mean, who got Mary pregnant?

ETA I don't mean to suggest the virgin birth is a rape story, my comment stands separate from The Entity discussions.
