Demon lovers have been a feature of folklore since the Middle Ages at least but such phenomena are still reported today.
Steiger turns his considerable resources onto the subject of sex and the supernatural in this welcome reprint of Haunted Lovers first published in 1971 but now rather hard to obtain. The author examines a broad spectrum of phenomena, from ghostly lovers and jealous spirits that torment former lovers to more outré subjects like ‘Sexual Molesters from the Spirit World’, ‘Otherworldly Lovers from UFOs’ and ‘Invisible Demons that Possess and Destroy’.
Sex and romance are powerful forces in the human psyche, so it’s no wonder that they should have a strong influence on supernatural experience. Many of the accounts in Steiger’s fascinating book are doubtless the result of psychosis or wish fulfillment but many more provide unnervingly convincing evidence of beings from beyond who are keen to get closer than comfortable.
