"These are supposedly real stories of sexual encounters that people have had with ghosts, and a lot of it is pretty erotic." — Marcus Parks
"Well, it's not necessarily sexual encounters that people have had with ghosts, it's more encounters people have had with sexual ghosts. Sexual ghosts perverted ghosts. Rape ghosts. Disgusting ghosts." — Henry Zebrowski
"The specter wasn't sighted. Or at least not reported for another seven years. When the mooner came back with a vengeance. In each time, travelers would report a man in a triconer hat dressed in the manner of a gamekeeper, pulled down his pants, and bend over in the direction of the witness before vanishing into thin air." — Marcus Parks
This episode of "Last Podcast on the Left" delves into the phenomenon of spectrophilia, exploring historical accounts of individuals who claim to have had sexual encounters with ghosts and spirits. The hosts recount various tales, beginning with an introduction to the concept and its prevalence in ancient cultures. They discuss a book titled "The Pregnant Ghost and other sexual hauntings," which features supposedly true stories of erotic interactions with the supernatural, ranging from consensual encounters to more disturbing experiences.
The discussion then transitions into specific narrated stories, including the tale of "Patty's Backyard," which details a recurring encounter with an old man who exhibits increasingly inappropriate behavior in a backyard, ultimately leading to a supernatural explanation connected to the previous owner. Another segment covers "The Brothel for Ghosts and Spectres" in Edinburgh, a house rumored to be a site of paranormal sexual activity, linked to historical figures with alleged pacts with the devil. The episode continues with narratives such as "The Ghost of the Sex Crazed Cat," "The Marquis and the Radiant Boy," and "Valentine the Valet," each presenting different facets of ghostly or spectral sexual encounters.
The latter part of the episode covers more anecdotal and folkloric accounts, including the "Heavy Breather of Heathrow Airport," the "Mooner of Romney Marsh," and the "Hell Club" in Glasgow, which was known for its orgiastic practices. The narrative also touches upon the brutal story of a barrel maker named Henry Hardwick who was subjected to extreme violence. Finally, the episode concludes with the tale of "The Urinating Goblin," a peculiar encounter described by a tourist in Ireland. The hosts frame these stories within the context of different cultural perceptions of ghosts and the supernatural, contrasting American and European approaches.
