A UK woman by the name of Amethyst Realm claims to have had sex with a ghost.
In fact, this spectral affair caused the breakup of her flesh-and-blood engagement, after her fiancé caught her in bed with said ghoul.
“He saw the shape of a man through the window when he pulled up outside,” Amethyst said.
Amethyst went on a bit of a romp after the breakup, sleeping with over a dozen more ghosts.
Her promiscuous days are done, however. She is settling down and getting married to an Australian poltergeist.
“When I was in Australia taking a walk out in the bush, just suddenly it approached me. Just something you feel, an emotional physical presence,” she said.
How did the marriage proposal happen?
“There was no going down on one knee,” Amethyst explained. “He doesn’t have knees. But for the first time, I heard him speak.”
“I could actually hear his voice and it was beautiful. Deep, sexy and real.”
The couple are now planning a countryside wedding.
“I fell in love with it I guess. It’s the one,” Amethyst said.
It’s not Valentine’s day today, so why am I bringing up this romantic story?
Two reasons.
One, it’s pretty fascinating.
Two, I want to contrast it with some Halloween-themed emails I’ve been getting all day long.
These emails are all about the ghoulish and ghostly and creepy things that happen to copywriters, particularly when dealing with clients. The pitch is for some kind of copywriting product.
The trouble is, the emails are weak. The scenarios they describe are generic and simply not concrete or gruesome enough. It seems like the copywriter who wrote the emails just made these scenarios up.
To me, this just signals laziness.
After all, a bit of research will unearth a graveyard full of chilling or bizarre stories that readers won’t be able to ignore.
This is the kind of stuff that even the best writers cannot make up.
I’ve accepted this fact, and that’s why I don’t shy away from lurking on sex forums, tabloid websites, and conspiracy-theory Facebook groups.
That’s where you find the choicest treats, like the story of Amethyst Realm.
