I GAVE UP MEN T O SLEEP WITH GHOSTS!
AFTER MORE THAN 20 FLINGS, COUNSELLOR AMETHYST REALM HAS NO FEAR OF THE PARANORMAL
Amethyst hadn’t been expecting her lover that warm summer’s afternoon. Her fiance Adam* – who shared her home – was at work, so when her secret paramour arrived unannounced 11 years ago, she grabbed the opportunity.
She believed this kind of infidelity didn’t count – mainly because her lover was a ghost!
‘I’ve always been able to communicate with spirits,’ explains Uk-born Amethyst, now 30. ‘But it wasn’t until I was 18 that I had my first spirit romance. After that, they’d come and go – so to speak! They’d make their presence felt in a number of ways – by moving stuff around the house or by stroking me when I least expected it. One even used to draw little hearts in the condensation on the windows.’
Amethyst had become so engrossed in the spectral sex that she didn’t hear her fiance’s car.
‘He’d come home early from work,’ she says, cringing as she relives the memory. ‘The first I knew of it was when I heard him charging up the stairs. My lover left when he sensed my panic. Adam burst into the bedroom, shouting: “Where is he?” I was gobsmacked. How did he know what I’d been doing? It was hard to deny that I hadn’t been up to something – I was sitting on the bed in my sexiest lingerie.’
Adam, then 20, told her he’d seen someone through the bedroom window from the street below, a shadowy figure standing by where he knew the bed was.
‘He raced up the stairs in the hope of catching me red-handed,’ recalls Amethyst. ‘When he couldn’t see anyone, he looked baffled. There was no way out apart from down the stairs. He checked the wardrobes and under the bed, and asked me where he was hiding. That’s when I told him that the man – a man I had never actually seen
myself – had been a ghost. Adam left me that same day and I haven’t spoken to him since.’
Since then, Amethyst has decided real men are more trouble than they’re worth and that ghost lovers are the way forward. She is also now working as a spiritual counsellor, helping people who’ve had relationship problems with ghosts.
‘I’m like a marriage guidance counsellor,’ she says, ‘but one of the people in the couples I see just happens to be not of this plane.’
She has met numerous people – women mainly – who have had sexual encounters with ghosts.
‘The relationships, like all relationships, can hit rough patches, and I’m on hand to guide them. I help them perform rituals to get rid of bad energies and entities and to invite more positive ones into their lives.’
For several years, Amethyst has resisted getting romantically involved with earth-bound men.
‘Ghost lovers tend to be more sensual and adept than the average bloke,’ she claims. ‘There’s always more of a connection, because the sex goes beyond the physical.’
She adds that many people are bemused by the idea of ghost sex. ‘It’s like any other kind of sex,’ she says, blushing. ‘The main difference is I just can’t see them. I feel them though – their weight against me, their touch, the warmth and energy that just kind of sinks into me. Ghost sex is deeper, more passionate and, oddly, seems more natural. You sense that you’re being touched. Sometimes, I get the feeling that I’m being moved, positioned how my lover wants me positioned. Orgasms I have with my spirit lovers have been way deeper and more satisfying than any I’ve had with ordinary men.’
At the moment, Amethyst is in a relationship that started in Australia. ‘One day, while I was walking through the bush, enjoying nature, I suddenly felt this incredible energy. I knew a new lover had arrived.’ Amethyst describes her new ghost as ‘really special, wise, stable and kind’.
She adds: ‘I’m not 100 per cent sure this lover is male. But, to be honest, if you’re making love to a spirit, gender doesn’t really come into it.’ Amazingly this spooky soul travelled back to the UK with Amethyst and six months on, they’re is still going strong.
‘It’s pretty serious,’ she admits. ‘In fact, we’ve even been thinking about having a ghost baby. I know that sounds crazy but I’ve been looking into it and I don’t think it’s totally out of the question.’
Amethyst has a theory that some phantom pregnancies are actually ghost babies trapped in human bodies. ‘I think some women can get impregnated by spirits, but because the human body and mind doesn’t know how to process it, the pregnancy doesn’t go full-term. I’m sure there’s a way around that – I just haven’t worked it out yet.’
Whatever happens, when it comes to hopes and dreams, Amethyst is determined not to give up the ghost.
