PTSD from Tinder Ghosting

So I don’t know if anyone here has been following this so I apologise if there’s already been threads about it, but if not I wondered what people thought of all the online talk about supernatural forces causing trauma by using online dating to lure women into especially spirit receptive locations, then abuse them in supernatural ways. “ghost in the machine” I think is the phrase when a spirit uses technology in this way. Makes sense when you think about it, why wouldn’t bad spirits adapt to a technological world just like they adapted and haunted ships and aeroplanes etc? It’s logical when you think about my it.

I read several really traumatic accounts from women that had met a man they came to know as “Daniel” on tinder and went to a location to meet him (which was a house in Yorkshire) where once they arrived they were greeted by “Daniel” and he let them into the house, but then he disappeared and the door slammed shut and wouldn’t open. Then for the rest of the night they were haunted in the dark by voices of Demons calling themselves “Legion” and then at last once the women were really frightened the Demons took physical form and basically gang banged the women for hours until dawn. All the women said they kind of just woke up in morning and the door was open and they were in a derelict house.

Not surprisingly all of the women have PTSD about this as well as trauma from being mocked by people who don’t believe them (which I think is really nasty considering the assualt element)

I just wondered if anyone had had any experiences like this or knew anyone who had? And what they made of the whole thing? Also do you think Spirits are now being influence by online misogynistic dating culture and it’s radicalising them to do these kind of extreme hauntings?

I don’t know maybe I wouldn’t use tinder or other popular apps but would use a smaller app for now for safety. I don’t know

@Octomore

No you can often tell if someone an addict or doesn’t care about life if there house is really run down or they have broken things laying around. I wouldn’t go in those houses

Newsflash - not all rapists are addicts with messy houses. Many are highly functioning , intelligent, professional men who will only reveal that they intend to ignore your 'no' when it actually happens.

@FAQs 🤣🤣🤣💀

That’s actually a good premise for a horror films, ghosts infiltrating dating apps. Someone should tell Netflix.

Interested in this thread?

I think that considering some of the stories I have heard about men on Tinder Demons would be preferable

😂🤣😂🤣

I think your user name tells us all we need to know really OP ffs!

Christ on a bike! I will rephrase my early question and turn it into a statement:

OP...you need help! 🙄

@BringBackCoffeeCreams

What I mean is if ghosts have adapted to haunt different things humans have made like haunting ships or spacecraft or aeroplane then why not the internet?

I think it's time to stop now.

pictish · 20/08/2022 10:46

What is happening here?

It’s reading like some mad old shit but as though it’s perfectly normal.

Do I think ghosts and demons are on Tinder?
Stop it.

Where I love you would definetly know just from some mens places to not go in them. I think you can know

I think a ghost has infiltrated mn and is preventing me from getting shit done today. Too many bonkers threads keep calling me back.

Ghosting is definitely a thing on tinder but not how you describe 😆. Wtf OP. Don't go to strange mens houses at all, if you must and it's derelict don't proceed to knock on the door and enter. Pretty basic safety rules right there.

LetHimHaveIt · 20/08/2022 10:47

Good call to use smaller apps. It's well-documented that spirits can't get into those.

What you're describing - and I'm about 97% sure you're on a wind up - isn't what's meant by 'The Ghost In The Machine'. At all.

Tip for the future - don't describe multiple sexual assaults - even fictional ones! - as 'a gang bang' if you want people to believe your bollocks .

No, you can not and that's very dangerous nonsense.
Do you think that an attractive man in a good suit and with a neat home can't be a rapist? Just stop this now.

I'm not saying that it's a good idea to go in an addict's house, or a house that is all smashed up either. But to set that as your bar is very naive. Plenty of rapists live in nice clean homes.

You sound very young tbh.

@liveforsummer

The house didn’t appear derelict when they went there - only the next morning. It changed appearance that was why they went in and were confused and the police didn’t believe them

When I was a teenager there was a story about the woodlands on the edge of town. A girl committed suicide there and her ghost haunts the woodland, lures in people, then kills them. Loads of teenagers from school claimed to have been in the stream and seen her and had similar stories. Then a body of a man was found, so clearly it must have been true.

Except it wasn't. It was all bollocks. The body turned out to be from a man who'd had a heart attack whilst walking his dog. People make up stories, things sound similar because they hear these stories and their brain plays into it and latches onto anything that can substantiate their beliefs. It's confirmation bias.

There will be a very logical explanation but being raped by demons is not the logical explanation. Most likely, the girls have been date raped with some kind of hallucinogenic and this is how their brain interpretated the events.

MadameCholetsDirtySecret · 20/08/2022 10:49

Use pay only sites. Ghosts have terrible credit ratings and can't get credit cards.

@Octomore you got me. I read the first half and thought I knew where it was going. Clearly I did not know where it was going.

Anyway, @IzzyNeedsHelp take care of yourself. Stay safe and be kind to yourself.

VerifiedBot2351 · 20/08/2022 10:52

Do you have a link to anything about this?

IzzyNeedsHelp · 20/08/2022 10:21

@LaingsAcidTab

But what about how all the stories all similar and from a similar area? Run down house in the same county

They pick the right people - choose them carefully. "Spiritual" people with a propensity to credulity and anxiety.
