A Ghostly Perception

Does one’s sexual orientation influence a person’s description of a ghost? If a person, or a couple, is unable to have a child, do they report a child spirit more often than those who have children? If a person experienced physical violence in their past, does it guide their perception to conclude that an evil demon is causing the purported paranormal activity in their home?

The more I think about this, the more I believe it is a possibility that should be researched thoroughly. If a person identifies as a psychic, medium, empath, or one who says they have experienced paranormal activity, I believe that a person’s psyche must come into play.  

Let me explain my point: Encyclopedia Britannica describes an incubus as a “Demon in male form that seeks to have sexual intercourse with sleeping women.” Britannica describes a succubus as a female form of an incubus, meaning it is a demon in female form seeking to have sexual intercourse with sleeping men. My question is this, what if the sleeping woman is a lesbian? Do more lesbians who report other-worldly sexual experiences while sleeping describe a succubus (female) rather than an incubus (male)? The same could be asked about gay men.

Is it possible that a psychic-medium sometimes sees or interacts with an entity that is remarkably similar to their lost love or their most intimate desires? For example, does a straight-male psychic-medium, describe a higher number of women entities, rather than reporting a male or a child presence?   

What about those psychics or mediums who had lost a child or who are unable to have children? Do they unconsciously describe a ghost as a child more often than that of a teenager or an adult? If a psychic or a medium experienced the death of a little girl, do they describe more hauntings by a ghost of a little girl than a little boy? The same scenario could be asked of a married couple who lost a child that is experiencing paranormal activity.

Turning to a person who has experienced physical violence, are those who were physically abused or sexually molested as a child reporting more violent poltergeist activity than those who had a safe and uneventful childhood?

Now let us look at the other side of the coin. Do reports of entities responsible for paranormal activity suggest that those on the other side can influence our perceptions? Can a spirit somehow directly affect what we sense, feel, or see?

Food for thought, my friends.
