Believing in Ghosts
I was reading an article that referenced CICAP, the Italian Committee for the Investigation of Claims on the Paranormal, and saw an interesting statistic. A 1996 Gallup poll revealed that 33% of Americans believe that houses can be haunted, and 30% believe that ghosts or spirits of dead people come back in certain places and situations.
By 2005 the "haunted house" figure had risen to 37%, but there are many more statistics to look at.
To check out the original article that I saw referencing the 1996 study, go to:
