On Thursday evening, many American children will encounter
costumed ghosts as they roam the streets in search of candy and other treats on
Halloween. Before bedtime, to avoid nightmares, some parents may try to
reassure their kids that ghosts are not real.
But, according to Pew Research, not all of those parents may buy their own
reassurances: Nearly one-in-five U.S. adults (18%) say they’ve seen or been in
the presence of a ghost, according to a 2009 Pew Research
Center survey. An even
greater share – 29% – say they have felt in touch with someone who has already
died.
