You can always count on the women of The View to eventually say something bonkers every few weeks.
Sure, they're ultimately there to talk about politics, pop culture and other current events, but wait long enough and one of them says something totally off the wall. And nine times out of ten, it's long-running co-host Joy Behar that sets tongues wagging.
And so it was last week, but Behar's most recent eyebrow-raiser is weird even for her. Behar has apparently had sex with ghosts.
Sure. Who among us hasn't?
If you're not sure how to respond, you're not alone.
Moderator Whoopi Goldberg clearly had no idea what to do with this information either.
You can see her reaction below.

The comments came during a segment about a Texas woman who claims her home is haunted by sexy, sexy ghosts who want to have ghost-sex with their non-ghost roommate.

While discussing the woman's para-pornal phenomenon (see what we did there), co-host Sara Haines jokingly mused whether one can get pregnant from doing sexy times with a poltergeist.
To which Behar replied moments later:
“I’ve had sex with a few ghosts and never got pregnant.”
Which was most unexpected, because aside from being, you know, actively unhinged, Behar had also just called the Texas woman a "wackjob" for her claims. Who's the wackjob now, Behar?!
Anyway, Behar mumbled the joke under her breath so it was easy to miss, but one person who definitely did not miss it was Goldberg. Turning to the audience, she quipped:
“I’m just gonna let that ride. I don’t know how many of you just heard what Joy just said, but I’m going to let it ride.”
And then, like the seasoned pro she is, it was never mentioned again.
Twitter certainly had lots to say about it, however.

\u201cI don\u2019t know how to explain this to Joy Behar, but having sex with someone who ghosts you afterwards doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ve had sex with ghosts #TheView\u201d— Alison - NYC Recessionista (@Alison - NYC Recessionista) 1666370033

If Behar was serious about her claim, she's in good company: Pop star Kesha, actor Lucy Liu and late model Anna Nicole Smith all claimed to have had sex with ghosts as well. Halloween is just around the corner if you feel like stepping your sex life up!
