In major national surveys (such as those by Gallup, Pew Research, and YouGov):

• 39% to 45% of American adults explicitly state that they believe ghosts or spirits of dead people can return or exist.

• About 19% to 20% report being unsure, while around 42% flatly disbelieve.

• Roughly 20% of Americans (about 1 in 5) claim to have personally seen or experienced a ghost.

40% of Americans also believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

Yeah, so what is a ghost?

Could be a dead human "trapped between two worlds".

How and why did it get trapped?

Believing in "nothing" = arrested development = being trapped in kindergarten

It's actually less than 8% and that figure is likely mirroring all countries citizens. It was just a study done in America, and looking at the younger generation there, and everywhere, it's likely accurate.

I've seen three, saw other's actions, and my ex wife's dog jumped into the tub a few times for no reason whatsoever besides he sensed something in the same house I saw those three. To me they are spirits waiting to go onward, or here to help.

Most contributors must have found out that I am an atheist.

But I will say this: Few ever written words by men have impressed me more than the "The Sermon of the Mount".

It could have served as a "compass" for humanity, beyond religions. Unfortunately, it diden't.
