The incubus is a demon who is interested in women. The word comes from the Latin "incubare", which literally translates into Russian, as lying on top. These demons come to young girls in a dream, enter into intimacy with them, after which women sometimes have children …
Did the nuns give birth to demons?
In 1484, Pope Innocent VIII signed a document advising women how to protect themselves from lustful evil forces. More often than not, the incubus harassed the nuns. Hundreds of women in convents, where men could not get, gave birth to children from demons. The lay women did not stand aside either. Although, let's be honest, in most cases, women referred to sex with demons in cases where they could not justify an unwanted pregnancy …
In the Middle Ages, incubi were described as vile and humpbacked creatures. It was believed that the children born of them were just as ugly. And the Inquisition, in turn, immediately called all babies with the slightest deviations, who were not born of legitimate husbands, the children of the Devil.
Later, starting from the 17th century, the Incubus, on the contrary, were described by handsome men. Cases were recorded when demons appeared in the form of dead husbands.

Medieval legends about conception from ghosts can be called fictions. In those distant times, many things were invented in general!
In 1988, in Leningrad, a 22-year-old patient, Anna, was diagnosed with hypoplasia, which is popularly called the "baby's uterus". With this diagnosis, conception is impossible. Her husband immediately left the girl. Parents said that for more than a month the girl was in severe depression.
One night, she dreamed of her husband. He asked for forgiveness and entered into an intimacy with her, which, according to Anna, was fabulously stormy. Leaving, he said: "We will have a son" - and disappeared into thin air.
A month later, the girl came to the gynecologist, who determined that she was four weeks pregnant. The doctors were confused, and the girl was diagnosed in several clinics. Having opened the archives, doctors found out that women with such a diagnosis sometimes give birth. Prior to that, such a case was recorded in 1910. True, for that woman everything went naturally, the child was born from a living and legitimate husband …
Doctors offered to have the girl an abortion, arguing that with her diagnosis the child would not be born healthy. Anna flatly refused. The birth was difficult and ended with the death of the girl. And the child himself was born dead.
Later, Anna's parents said that on the supposed nights of conception, poltergeist phenomena were observed in their apartment: steps and creaks of doors were heard.
Comments from the paranormal specialist
In ancient texts, it is indicated that the otherworldly entity is able to move from an ethereal appearance to a tangible one, since conceptions occur for real. Evil forces come in the form of handsome men, dead or departed husbands. Why are they doing this, you ask? The answer is simple: when a woman gives birth to a child, a demon possesses him to do evil on Earth in the guise of a man.
