45% of Americans Believe in Ghosts . . . 13% Believe in Vampires:

Ah yes, the annual reminder that a ton of people are pretty sure “Ghostbusters” was a documentary.

According to a new survey, 45% of Americans say they believe GHOSTS are real.  45% also believe demons are real.

And 13% believe that vampires are real.

36% of people say they’ve actually felt the presence of a supernatural being, like a ghost or spirit . . . and 13% say they’ve communicated directly with the ghost of someone who died.

But perhaps the spookiest part of the survey of all was that 7% of people said Mounds bars are one of their three favorite candies. Now that’s scary. -Ian
