Four-in-ten Brits have seen a ghost or UFO
Forty percent of Brits claim they've had a paranormal experience and seen a ghost or UFO, it has been found.A survey of 3,000 people discovered one-in-five of of those reckon they have seen a ghost, while 19 per cent have spotted a mysterious object in the sky.
Another 16 per cent believe they've had premonitions while six percent even believe they have a guardian angel.
44 percent of Brits were also found to believe aliens visit Earth and one-in-five even believe aliens could be living amongst us.
In that case, it's probabbly worth us pointing out that we don't know how many of the respondents in the survey were actually aliens themselves.
Paranormal expert Malcolm Robinson, founder of Strange Phenomena Investigations, said: "The people of the UK have overwhelmingly shown their belief in ghosts, UFOs and life on other planets and this survey is the clearest indication yet of the British public's acceptance of the weird and the wonderful.
"What this survey has clearly shown is that people believe that not all in the world is as cut and dried as we may like to think.
"Science does not know it all, there are many more things afoot that have still to be understood and as science progresses, it is my contention that those discoveries will be made.
"Belief is one thing, proving things is another hence the reason to continue research."
Top five paranormal events Brits have witnessed:
1. A ghost
2. A UFO sighting/unexplained objects in the sky
3. Premonitions
4. Accurate psychic readings
5. Guardian angel
The research was commissioned by Penguin Books to mark the launch of sci-fi thriller 'I Am Number Four'.
