It's not a ghost, that is mental illness..

I'm on mat leave and have too much time on my hands. I'm watching This Morning with P&H.

They've just had a guest on, for the second time, who claims she's in a relationship with a ghost and they are about to be wed.

Cue her making Holly jump out of her skin and claiming "he's here..."

There was another woman on there last year claiming to have a sexual relationship with the spirit of God.

AIBU to think they must be mentally ill?

I would be pushing my loved ones towards a psychiatrist should they start spouting such bollocks.

Either a mental health issue or a piss taker or someone after their 15 minutes of fame.

The ghost didn’t like Phil so he’s obviously a good judge of character.

Severely mentally ill and the twats who put her on TV for entertainment are disgusting.
Why do people watch this horseshit?

Absolutely. How on earth do they get away with taking advantage of vulnerable people like that?

Might be physiological rather than psychological - she says, based on nothing but watching Grey's Anatomy.

Surely them making shit up so they can earn a few quid is more likely than someone being so mentally ill that they truly believe they're in love with a ghost

MegGriffinshat · 31/10/2022 11:07

These people are brought on programmes like that to be exploited and laughed at.

It’s awful.

Beautiful3 · 31/10/2022 11:32

Could be a negative spiritual attachment.

Onlyforcake · 31/10/2022 11:36

It's terribly exploitative AND makes it clear to anyone stuck with abuse in the name of "faith" that there's no support out there, just jeering and gawping. So many are put through hell because of those with belief in spirits/ demons etc. And the cycle needs breaking.

Bestcatmum · 31/10/2022 11:45

To be fair before my mental illness was diagnosed and treated with medication I used to see ghosts. I don't see any now.

TooBigForMyBoots · 31/10/2022 11:48

The TM guest is too much like the Murder Mystery players I know.

silverclock222 · 31/10/2022 11:51

Why does out of the ordinary have to be having mental health issues. Ever thought these people are just desperate for their 15 minutes of fame? How would you feel if people said you had MH issues to watch H&P, because, well, why would you - you are after all the viewer that feeds the supply for this brain numbing dross? Please stop using MH descriptives.

TooBigForMyBoots · 31/10/2022 11:54

I googled her. She's a performer.

my sister had similar. Diagnosed schizophrenia. sectioned multiple times.

you can have tactile hallucinations including sex ones. Uts fucking scary but I can see how she would believe it. Especially with people confirming its true by putting her on the telly!
