One common theme is the forbidden love aspect. The idea of a human being attracted to a ghost, which is an otherworldly and often dangerous entity, creates a sense of taboo. Another theme could be the power dynamic, where the ghost has a certain power over the human due to the possession. It can also involve themes of mystery and the unknown, as the nature of the ghost and its motives are often left for the reader or viewer to decipher.
Well, erotic ghost possession stories have a significant impact on modern horror literature. For one, they introduce a different kind of fear factor. The combination of the sexual and the supernatural makes the horror more visceral. It also broadens the range of characters and relationships in horror. Instead of just the typical monster - victim dynamic, there can be a more nuanced relationship between the possessed and the ghost. Moreover, it allows for a deeper exploration of human desires and taboos, which modern horror literature often delves into. For example, the way a character might be both attracted to and terrified of the possessing ghost can be a rich source of storytelling.
Yes, they are somewhat common. Many classic and contemporary novels explore themes of intense passion and possession in an erotic context. For instance, some works of romantic literature often contain elements where characters are consumed by their love, which can be seen as a form of possession.
Some people believe they are true. There are countless tales from different cultures. For example, in some Asian cultures, there are stories of people suddenly acting out of character, speaking in strange voices or having knowledge they shouldn't. However, from a scientific perspective, there's no evidence to support actual ghost possession. It could be misinterpreted mental or physical health issues.
One well - known story is about the 'Haunted Manor'. There was a girl who was said to be possessed by a ghost in that old manor. People claimed to see her transform into a different form, with strange behavior. She would sometimes speak in a voice that wasn't her own and seemed to have knowledge of things that happened long ago.
In one story, a girl was showing signs of possession by a ghost girl. But it turned out that the ghost girl was a former occupant of the house who died unhappily. The family living in the house worked with a psychic to communicate with the ghost girl. They fulfilled her last wishes which were simple, like having a proper burial place remembered. After that, the possession ended and the girl was fine, and the house no longer had any spooky vibes.
Another theme could be redemption. The possessed character may have made some mistakes in the past, and the possession becomes a form of punishment or a test. Through the process of dealing with the possession, they find a way to atone for their sins and become a better person. For instance, in a story where a person is possessed by a spirit that represents their guilt, they gradually face their past and make amends.
One common element is a sense of unease or a cold feeling that the mtf character experiences before the possession. Another is that often the possessing ghost is female, perhaps because of a connection in the shared female identity in the case of an mtf. Also, there is usually some form of abnormal behavior exhibited by the mtf after being possessed, like speaking in a different voice or having strange mannerisms.
One famous story is the case of Anneliese Michel. She was a German woman who claimed to be possessed. There were exorcism rites performed on her which became a very well - known and controversial case. Another is the story from the movie 'The Exorcist', which was based on a supposed real - life exorcism. It involved a young girl showing extreme and disturbing behavior, believed to be due to demonic possession.
