Dear Diary:
Do you believe in ghosts or other-worldly beings and things? Many do!
According to a poll by the Associated Press and Ipsos, of people interviewed 34 percent believe in ghosts... and about 19 percent believe in witches and spells. That's the same percentage of people who believe in UFOs (unidentified flying objects), and 14 percent say they have actually seen one.

What about ESP and superstitious?
Forty-eight percent, mostly Caucasion, believe in extrasensory perception (ESP).
One in five say they are at least somewhat superstitious, with young men and minorities being more likely to seek good luck. Twenty-six percent of city dwellers say they are a little superstitious, but only 13 percent of rural people say they are.
The most admitted superstition was wanting to find a four-leaf clover for good luck. Thirteen percent avoid walking under a ladder or letting the groom see his bride just before the wedding. Smaller numbers named black cats, broken mirrors and Friday the 13th.
