Spooks, surveys and other figments of the imagination.



More than one in five Brits believe their house is haunted, according to new survey

Whenever Halloween comes around, all things paranormal enter our thoughts and it turns out many of us Brits (69 per cent) believe ghosts, spirits and apparitions are real – and not just figments of our imagination.

In a Paramount+ survey to celebrate the launch of the new supernatural thriller, The Burning Girls, it found that 38 per cent are convinced they have seen something ghostly that unnerved them, with 51 per cent of those insisting the presence was friendly (phew).


A far more interesting investigation would be the number of people who don't take surveys seriously and answer accordingly. I don't and would.

Paranormal Note
As far as I know this blog isn't haunted by an uneasy spirit or an apparition.

There are in fact quite a few of us from a bygone age, and some are prepared to jump out and shoot "Boo!"

Ah the hope of the dawning of a new age of scientific rationalism circa 1950s, and the ever increasing banishment of superstition. NO.

Sam - I suppose being from a bygone age is much the same as an uneasy spirit haunting the modern world. Apart from creeping ailments, spirits don't seem to have those.

Tammly - and we never expected to go backwards. Maybe that shows how unreasonably optimistic we were.
