Poll: One-Third of Americans Believe in Ghosts, UFOs

WASHINGTON -  It was bad enough when the TV and lights inexplicably flicked
on at night, Misty Conrad says. When her daughter began talking to an unseen
girl named Nicole and neighbors said children had been murdered in the
house, it was time to move.

Put Conrad, a homemaker from Hampton, Va., firmly in the camp of the 34
percent of people who say they believe in ghosts, according to a
pre-Halloween poll by The Associated Press and Ipsos. That's the same
proportion who believe in unidentified flying objects - exceeding the 19
percent who accept the existence of spells or witchcraft.

Forty-eight percent believe in extrasensory perception, or ESP. But nearly
half of you knew we were about to tell you that, right?

Conrad, now 40, lived in Syracuse, Ind., when her family was scared from the
house they rented.

"It kind of creeped you out," she recalled this week. "I needed to get us
out."

To put the roughly one-third who believe in ghosts and UFOs in perspective,
it's about the same as, in recent AP-Ipsos polls, the 36 percent who said
they are baseball fans; the 37 percent who said the U.S. made the right
decision to invade Iraq; and the 31 percent who approve of the job President
Bush is doing.
