Paranormal Activity's Toby has to wait a long time for a male to be born into the family, though he first makes himself known to Katie and Kristi when they are children in Paranormal Activity 2 - which is set at the same time as the original - is set in Kristi's home, with Toby coming to collect her newborn son Hunter.
Kristi's husband feels their only way out of trouble is to transfer the demon to a blood relative - in this case, Katie. This backfires spectacularly when Toby takes possession of Katie, killing Micah and in the finale of part two, killing Kristi and her husband before taking their son and disappearing.
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones shines a light on what happens to the first-born males, with the witch coven helping a demon create an army of possessed men. But motivation for a ghost is kind of hard to figure since honestly their concerns would be something far different from the living.
