File this under the "You Learn Something New Every Day" category. Apparently, ghosts can be horny little buggers, and a "ghostbuster" named Syed Abdullah Alattas, founder and chief investigator of Seekers Malaysia, has been investigating:
GHOSTS have sex. This is the claim of Syed Abdullah Alattas, founder and chief investigator of Seekers Malaysia.
"We are doing research to find out their habits, behaviour, how they have sex and such," he said.
Syed Abdullah said some texts on religion also mentioned naughty and randy ghosts. Dressed in a red T-shirt, a black leather vest and leather gloves and looking more like a well-heeled Mat Rempit rather than a ghost-buster, he bubbled with enthusiasm when discussing apparitions.
Personally, I'm having a hard time visualizing this. After all, if ghosts are not corporeal, how in the world could they "do it"?
My favorite quote, though, is here:
On his ghostly experiences, he said: "Some of it is so weird that I cannot tell you about it. It might also be dangerous for me." He did not elaborate.
A "weird phenomenon", he said, was when one hears sounds never heard before or when one gets extremely cold for a second or two for no apparent reason or when one smells something never smelt before.
"You can feel it. Just because you cannot see it, doesn't mean a ghost is not there."
To which I would retort: Just because you can feel it doesn't mean that a ghost is there. I guess he wasn't kidding when he said that ghost hunting is "40% scientific and 60% spiritual," except that it's more like 1% scientific (if that) and 99% hokum.
Come on! Haven't you seen the scene in Ghostbusters where a lady ghost was undoing Dan Aykroyd's pants while he was lying on his bed? Ghosts do exist and they do have sex!
ROFL! Oh my goodness I wish I had that much time on my hands!!! ;)
And let's not forget incubi and succubi-
Aren't incubi and succubi demons of some sort and not ghosts?
Ooooooh, so that's why ghosts moan...Cool.
I presume the guy was saying that ghosts have sex with each other. I wonder what the offspring are. Surely not another ghost. Don't you have to have been alive at one time in order to become a ghost?
i hadn't been to salon.com in years.

I thought sex required friction...
That only happened in his dream.
That when they get you!
1% scientific (if that) and 99% hokum.
Not anymore (I hate to get all serious), but there is actually a real, scientific explaination for at least many "hauntings".
Infrasound
The effects are very real, it's the interpretation of the cause that are "hokum".
It looked good to me

Funny enough, the ghost hummer was supposed to be in the movie but got folded into the montage because of time and 'decency'.
...Yes, I have watched the commentary. More than once.
I think there are genuine, scientifically based paranormal researchers out there. And I don't necessesarily think that everything in the world can be explained through science (or science, at our current level of understanding).
Most of this, however, is just wishful thinking, heh.
"Ah sorry, I thought you said goats!"
Nothing new here. Tales of the sexual appetites of ghosts have been part of ghost folklore since ancient Greece.
But then, Greek mythology is full of tales of Olympian gods who just couldn't resist having it off with the odd mortal.
Nonexistent beings seem to make a handy canvas on which to project our own hangups and anxieities.
