1 IN 3 AMERICANS BELIEVE IN HAUNTED HOUSES, GHOSTS, SPIRITS |
Great Caesar's Ghost! Gallup finds 1 in 3 Americans
Believe Houses Can Be Haunted

New York - Gallup reports today that its latest poll
found that one in three Americans "believe in ghosts."
The numbers: 32% of all adults say they believe that
"ghosts/spirits of dead people can come back," while 48%
do not, and 19% are unsure.
An even larger number of Americans believe that houses
can be haunted, with 37% holding that position, 46%
saying no, and 16% not sure.
There's an ideological twist, with 42% of liberals saying
they believe in ghosts -- but only 25% of conservatives
and 35% of moderates saying this.
Belief in ghosts declines with age, with 45 of those 18
to 29 sticking to that, while only 22% of those 65 and
over holding that view.
The poll was based on interviews with 1,002 adults, with
plus or minus 3% sampling error.

The terrorist mission of Jesus stated in the Christian bible:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not so send
peace, but a sword.
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law.
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
- Matthew 10:34-36.
