Do You Believe in Ghosts?
Oct 26 at 7:07pm by Aileen
A pre-Halloween poll conducted by the Associated Press and Ipsos informs us that a whopping 33% of Americans believe in ghosts. Nearly one in four people say they’ve actually seen or felt a ghost!
About 1 in 5 people believes in the efficacy of magic spells, and half of America believes in ESP. Interestingly, more than half of college graduates [51%] think ESP is real, while only 37% of those with high school or less education think there’s anything to it. A Newsweek poll in 1996 reported 66% believing in ESP, so looks like the numbers are going down.
Check out the linked poll, it’s full of interesting information. Superstitions, ghost stories and even Closet Monsters just in time for Halloween!
