UK women are ditching their male lovers in favour of GHOSTS.

Two women in the last week have come out to share their experiences of paranormal passion.

One woman told the story of how she had "amazing" sex with the ghost of a 19th century man, while another says she left her fiance for a string of ectoplasmic encounters, as CornwallLive reports.

The first was Amethyst Realm, a 27-year-old spiritual guidance counsellor from Bristol, said she will “never go back to men” – because spirits leave her more satisfied.

She claims to have had sexual encounters with 20 different ghosts since leaving her fiancé for one 10 years ago.

She now hopes to find a ghostly lover to settle down with, reports the Post .

During a bizarre appearance on ITV’s This Morning, Amethyst described what it was like to have sex with a ghost and how she would entice paranormal beings into her home by wearing lingerie.

“It started off as an energy,” she told presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

“I guess, as I got used to it, it became more physical and I started to feel pressure on my thighs, on my arms as well as breath on the back of my neck. It always felt safe.”

And she also claims that she believes she can fall pregnant by having sex with ghosts, saying that's what phantom pregnancies are.

The woman left viewers baffled as she claimed to have had sex with 15 different ghost lovers.

And a shocked Phillip told her: "I could imagine you've got quite a name for yourself in the spirit world."

Amethyst says that one night she decided to dress in sexy lingerie and hang around in the spare room, where she'd felt the ghost's presence the most.

She said she waited a while before anything happened and feared that she'd put the ghost off by coming on too strong.

But she claims that just before falling asleep, the ghost turned up and they had sex.

She said she's gone off men completely and has had sexual relationships with another 14 ghosts.

And Amethyst said that she believes she can get pregnant by having sex with a ghost.

She said: "I've done a bit of research into phantom pregnancies. There's a possibility that it is a ghost in you but people don't know how to carry it to full term."

Amethyst went on to discuss how her relationship with her fiancé ended after he caught her in bed with a ghost.

She said: "He says he saw the shape of a man through the window when he pulled up outside."

Amethyst said she believes her first ghost was in love with her and says she was in love with it, but that things fizzled out in the end.

She also said she was angry that the ghost had shown his physical form to her fiancé but not to her.

She was asked if sex with a ghost ends in orgasm, and Amethyst said: "For me, yes."

Amethyst’s fiancé, who worked away from home for weeks at a time, discovered she was ‘cheating’ when the ghost apparently showed its physical form to him – something which she herself had never seen.

“He came home from work a day early and he says he saw the shape of a man through the spare room bedroom when he pulled up,” she explained.

“I think it was in love with me too and it wanted me to end the relationship.”

Meanwhile, a woman in a remote Welsh cottage claims she had “amazing” sex with a ghost.

Sian Jameson, 26, says she had sex with a “handsome” man she had spotted in an historic painting.

She had moved into a fully-furnished 16th century house after breaking up with her boyfriend of three years.

Sian left London saying that: “Everywhere I went reminded me of my ex. I needed a fresh start.”

Then she began having erotic dreams, reports Wales Online .

“A few months after I’d moved in I woke early one morning to find a dark-haired, very good-looking young man lying next to me," she said.

"He was fully clothed – in a loose white shirt, a neck scarf and old-fashioned breeches. He had a kind of shimmer to him as if he was behind a fluttering voile curtain. I told myself I was dreaming and rolled away from him.

"As I faced the wall I slowly realised I wasn’t asleep and, suddenly, I was frozen with fear. I felt a hand on my waist but the touch was strange – light and cool.”

She said she knew instinctively that he was a ghost and that she recognised him as a man in the painting.

“We started to make love. He was very gentle and stroked my body tenderly.

"During the lovemaking, I sensed all kinds of things about him – his name (Robert) and when he lived (over 100 years ago).

"We didn’t speak – it was as if he was communicating with me telepathically. His body was soft and light. Even when he moved on top of me, pressing down, he felt almost weightless. It was very strange but the sex was amazing.

“I was totally perplexed about what had happened. In fact, I started to wonder whether it had happened at all. In the end, I told myself it was just a very vivid dream and put it to the back of my mind.”

She said they made love again in the morning, then he got dressed and left the room.

"I was expecting to hear his footsteps on the wooden stairs but there was no sound. I watched him through the open bedroom door and saw him kind of fade as he approached the top of the stairs.”

She got up and followed. But Robert was gone.

“He appeared one more time after that,” Sian recalled.

“It was night-time and I was just drifting off to sleep. All of a sudden, the duvet slid off me and I could feel a cool hand running up my thigh, under my night-shirt.”

Sian said she knew he wouldn’t be back. “I sobbed after he’d left that night,” she confesses. “I guess I had fallen in love.”

Sian is now in a relationship with a living man.

“When I first told him about Robert, he thought it was funny. He reckons it was just a dream. But I know it wasn’t a dream. It was real.

"And the sex was as good – if not better – than any other sex I’ve had. Just don’t tell my boyfriend that!”

What the experts say

Psychotherapist Tina Radziszewicz says: “Although the experience of making love with a ghost felt very real to Sian, the ‘spectre sex’ always happened either early in the morning or late at night, while she was just waking up or just nodding off.

"It’s well known that particular types of hallucination occur during the transition from wakefulness to sleep (hypnogogic hallucinations) or from sleep to wakefulness (hypnopompic ones).

"Stress, anxiety, depression and trauma can make people more prone to this form of hallucination."

But parapsychologists believe that some ghosts do have the power to get quite physical. Ghost-hunter and author of the book Ghost Sex: The Violation, G.L. Davies, says: “No-one knows what motivates ghosts to have sex with the living. Are we like lab rats to them?

"One thing’s for sure though, the people who experience it are certainly not dreaming. I spoke to many people – men and women – for my book and some of their stories are pretty shocking.

"They’re all convinced the sex actually happened and wasn’t imagined. And who am I to contradict them?”
