    He sounds severly mentally ill. Something like Schizophrenia.
    Only a fool would continue a relationship with someone as troubled as him. (I'm pressuming she's only known him briefly)

    However, I also wonder if OP story is a tall tale ?!

    He could have been sleepwalking or having a hypo (low blood sugar - you don't need to be on blood sugar lowering medication to experience these). He should speak to his GP, whatever the cause is it sounds serious.

    I have come out with all sorts in my sleep so this is a possibility.

    Sometimes Ive ( apparently) looked like Im awake, with eyes open, pointing, speaking and all sorts. I have also allegedly fried eggs in my sleep as well .
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    |I agree - but hes then told her in the cold light of day hes possessed by a ghost

    You know when you have been sleepwalking/talking had night terrors - you don't believe you are possessed ( well not if you are a sane and rational human bean) :)

    He may not be a ghost, meet him and get in the spirit of things.

    He clearly has some sort of problem that he needs professional help with and I don't mean an exorcist.

    If I got an invite like that I'd be washing my hair/peeling sprouts/knitting fog/ or any other excuse I could come up with to avoid meeting. How on earth would you keep a straight face if you met him?

    It could have been all sorts: sleepwalking, drug-induced paranoia, schizophrenia, or he's just an aggressive idiot. Anything's possible... apart from paranormal possession!

    It's that explanation that concerns me, more than the outburst itself (although that's a very close second)! He's not right in the head, and I wouln't have any more contact with him under any circumstances! Tell her to run a mile! If she doesn't, she's clearly not all there either.
