Haunting Suits (Special post, Halloween 2023)

October 29, 2023

Yesterday, I was awakened by someone sensuously caressing my right foot. My instep and arch were being stroked, from the underside, by fingers; fingers which had to have been attached to a hand that was reaching upwards, out of the mattress. This was not the airy, feather-light, ghostly sort of touching which I've often described in my writing. I felt skin-on-skin contact; although I was wearing socks and an ankle brace.

I knew who it was; it was, without a doubt, A who was doing this. Of all my demon attachments, he's the only one who would be touching me sensuously. Upon waking, I briefly pondered the skin-on-skin sensation, and then concluded,
"You've got a haunting suit."
There were yeses all around, confirmations from my other attachments, whom I sensed watching.
Then, perhaps because I was given a hint telepathically, or perhaps because I realized that I only felt the hands, I amended my assessment to,
"Well, the gloves off of one, anyway."

"Yes, it's the gloves off another suit," Demonasty confirmed. I sensed her excitement. I assumed that Haunting Suits had been issued, since Halloween was close at hand, and that Demonasty was about to join her other associates, who were already out doing some serious haunting. 

So, what is a Haunting Suit, one might wonder?

Well, it's a fairly new concept for me too. It's their explanation for why, at times, their touches can feel more realistic and life-like, like skin-on-skin; while, at other times, they feel more like air and electricity. It's how they explain those incidents where spirits push someone down the stairs, etc., and anything else which would require more physical strength than what they normally seem to wield.

"It's literally like a suit of clothes that you put on," A told me, when he first explained it. He also explained that these suits are issued by Satan, and that they are intended for use only in approved hauntings.

So, I can surmise that they may have borrowed these gloves without authorization; but generally, if the use of one of these suits occurs, it's going to be part of a plan that some demon has for some living person, a plan that Satan knows about and approves.

As to what the suits are actually comprised of, or how they function, I'm not certain that any living person could understand it completely. It's some of that "demon technology," a concept which I introduced in Saints and Haints.
A designer with divine powers, which Satan is, can dream up anything and have it crafted. The suits are some sort of software, perhaps, which can interact with our brains to produce sensations, such as the feeling of skin-on-skin touching, even though I was wearing socks and an ankle brace. We really do function very much like computers.

So, beware of unsolicited touches in the bedroom this Halloween...
because someone has the rest of that suit!
