'Are You a Skeptic or Believer' Queendom.com Reveals Results of Their Paranormal Beliefs Study
Queendom.com released their Paranormal Beliefs test after collecting data from over 20,000 people from all walks of life. They uncovered gender, age, ethnic and other differences in views of the supernatural.
Their Paranormal Beliefs Test assessed a number of beliefs, including the afterlife, the concepts of fate and karma, and aliens. Although superstitions are no longer as prominent as they used to be – the two most prevalent superstitions were the belief that thinking negative thoughts can make something bad happen (24%), and that "jinxing" something can cause you to lose it (24%) – there are many paranormal aspects that people strongly supported.
The afterlife, religion, and karma were the most widespread beliefs, followed by the belief in fate and psychic phenomenon. Superstitions brought up the rear, while folklore/myths/legends, witchcraft, telekinesis, and existence of UFOs and aliens fell somewhere in the middle on people's belief system. Interestingly, women believed much more strongly in paranormal phenomenon than men did, particularly in terms of the idea of karma (average score for women 71, 57 for men). The only exception was that of aliens and UFOs, where men outscored women 52 to 49.

Among the residents of the tiny town of Claremont, on the James River in Virginia, there is a long-standing tale: In the early 1900s, a little girl was killed — by whom, no one can say for sure — in the basement of the square, brick schoolhouse in the center of town. Soon after the murder, in 1919, the students had their photograph taken on the school's front lawn. In the photo, a couple dozen children are lined up on the grass. High above them in a second-floor window, against the darkness of the room beyond, there is someone else — a small figure alone in the frame, barely more than a white smudge but definitely readable, if one is so inclined, as a little girl.
