Poll on "ghosts"

"A ghoulish devil, a deceased relative, the girl who was killed by a drunk driver. These are some of the phantoms that nearly one in five American adults claim to have seen at one point in their life.
Movies such as "Paranormal Activity" aren't just fiction for a large chunk of the U.S. population. According to a 2009 Pew Research Center survey resurfaced just in time for Halloween, Americans are pretty superstitious:

  • 18 percent say they've seen a ghost
  • 29 percent feel as though they have been in touch with someone who is already dead
  • over one-third of Americans believe in spirits of the dead
  • over one-third of Americans believe in haunted houses" PBS
There shall not be found among you any one that....casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Deuteronomy 18:10,11 NLT
