"I just could feel this presence coming closer and closer and then I start feeling the actual touch without being able to see much," she told Mic. Natasha Blasick, an actress best known for the film parody Paranoid Activity 2 , had a similar experience that went viral after she revealed it on a British talk show last year. "I used to think it was my boyfriend, then one day I woke up and found it wasn't," she told FHM magazine. The phenomenon has come to be something of a punchline in recent years, thanks to a rash of sexual supernatural encounters reported by celebrities like Lucy Liu, Ke$ha and, famously, Anna Nicole Smith, who claimed a ghost would crawl up her leg and have sex with her while she was living in Texas.
(It also, curiously, is used to describe sexual arousal derived from reflections in mirrors.) Unbeknownst to Joy at the time, she was experiencing what paranormal investigators and parapsychologists have deemed " spectrophilia," a term that encompasses both the actual act of alleged paranormal intercourse with ghosts, spirits or invisible lovers and the fetish for paranormal intercourse. It was almost like I was in a real relationship with a guy." " used to have visits from strange spirits or whatever and actually have sex with them," Joy, who did not want to reveal her last name, told Mic. But when she became an adult, the ghost continued to visit her - and it became something of a familiar friend.
At first, this specter inexplicably terrified her. Ever since Joy was a little girl, someone or something has stalked her bedroom late at night.
