A 2005 Gallup poll indicates that 32% of adults believe that “ghosts/spirits of dead people can come back,” 48% do not believe, and 19% are undecided.

When asked if houses can be haunted, 37% said yes, 46% said no, and 16% are unsure. Interestingly, those who identify themselves as politically liberal are more likely (42%) to believe in ghosts than are conservatives (25%) and moderates (35%).

Here’s what one person shared with me:

“I don’t know, I’ve always been on the fence about that sort of stuff. I’ve seen nothing that proves it, but nothing that disproves it either.”

What do you believe?
