My friend has a ghost in her house and whenever I go over and spend a night the ghost is mostly active and I feel like he's always calling my name or saying "I love you." And I feel like when I got to sleep, someone is kissing me on the lips. And the ghost sometimes follows me home and tries to watch me undress.Can this ghost be a incubus?

Sounds like you have a ghost that's seriously attracted to you. I'm not sure how to get rid of him, have you tried asking him to stop. Try telling him that your not comfortable with him? Ya may just need to ask him to leave you alone.

The Incubus - Sucubus definition is pretty much correct, but its not simply a being that rapes..
They are Visitation demons, which (you guessed it) visit you in ur sleep, for a variety of reasons...
They are not actual demons by the way, but primeval elements of your own subconcious personality trying to get through to you...
I suggest you read some Carl Jung.
As for the following, kissing, etc, it looks like your friend is a date rapist.

The Incubus(latin-incubare, to lie upon) is a demon in male form that is supposed to "lie upon" sleeping females and have sex. It drains energy from the woman in order to sustain itself. A female version of the incubus is called a "Succubus"

In Western medieval legend, an incubus (plural incubi; from Latin incubare, "to lie upon") is a demon in male form supposed to lie upon sleepers, especially on women in order to have sexual intercourse with them. The Incubus drains energy from the woman it performs sexual intercourse upon in order to sustain itself, and in most cases either kills the victim or leaves the victim alive but in very weak or fragile condition. A female version was called a succubus. There are several possible explanations for the incubus legends:
- Women who were pregnant but either unmarried or engaged in an extra-marital affair would accuse an incubus of fathering the child.
- Waking dreams or nightmares.
- They form part of the well-attested Medieval preoccupation with sin, especially sexual sins of women.
- Actual rapes of sleeping women were attributed to demons by rapists in order to escape punishment.
- The feeling of smothering while sleeping is known since antiquity as nightmare. The modern term for this state is sleep paralysis.
- Because of the weight given to sexual sin in the Middle Ages, nocturnal arousal, orgasm or nocturnal emission were explained away by the legends of creatures causing an otherwise guilt-producing and self-conscious behavior. Thus people could say they were not to blame for it; it was obviously outside of their control: they were a victim.
- Young women/men being sexually assaulted in their sleep by a known attacker such as a friend or family member, although not common, has been reported and may explain some nocturnal attacks. The victims may find it easier to explain the attack as supernatural rather than confront the idea that the attack came from someone that is trusted in the family. See incest or "situational molesters".
During the witchhunts, alleged intercourse with demons or with Satan was one of the purported sins for which women were killed.
Sometimes incubi were said to conceive children with the women whom they raped; the most famous legend of such a case includes that of Merlin, the famous wizard from Arthurian legend.
In some legends, incubi and succubi were said not to be different genders of the same demonic "species," but the same demon able to change their sex; the idea being that a succubus would be able to sleep with a man and collect his semen, and then transform into an incubus and use that seed on women. Nevertheless their offspring were thought to be supernatural in many cases, even if the actual genetic material originally came from humans

it's a mythological creature that rapes women. You're describing something else i'm not sure if that is a ghost. It sounds more like a peeping tom.

That's a male spirit that seduces women, Succubus is the opposite.

No, you have a stalker, if not simply a case of powerful imagination. Incubi and succubi are not that polite or amorous.
