"With Halloween just around the corner, nearly half of Canadians claim they believe in ghosts, according to a new Canada Speaks survey released by Sympatico / MSN. The survey, conducted by Ipsos-Reid revealed that Canadians in Ontario/Atlantic provinces (50 per cent), and those kids in their household (55 per cent vs. 44 per cent among those without kids), are more likely to believe in ghosts. But 32 per cent of ghost-believers feel that ghosts are usually 'forces of good' rather than 'forces of evil' (8%).

Of those surveyed, one in five Canadians say they've been in the presence of ghosts (18 per cent); 9 per cent have lived in a haunted house; 9 per cent have 'visited with the ghost of a dead relative' and 12 per cent have had an 'out-of-body experience' or say they know someone who has (15 per cent)."
