Thirty days has ended. The results of the survey can be viewed at Stellar Survey (http://www.stellarsurvey.com/Analyzer/SharedSummary.aspx?s=4752&u=2764)

I'm a little surprised by two things:

97 percent believe in some form of paranormal phenomena. Although 56.6 percent of respondents consider themselves religious or spiritual, belief in ghosts slightly exceeds belief in God or a deity (8.40 percent vs. 7.80 percent).

May I link to you on SAPS, my darling vampire?

Just a little point. 32 people said they don't believe in any paranormal things (or at least not any listed) out of 166 people, which is actually 19%. Since you allowed people to tick multiple boxes on this question the total number of checked boxes is no longer the total numeber of people, so the percentages found are not actually the percentage of people that believe in that thing. I think this makes the results seem a little more encouraging.

RemieV: Of course you may!

Cuddles: Thanks for that. I know those who skipped questions threw off the results for the whole 166. Stellar Survey calculated only actual respondants. Four skipped the question, but 162 answered that particular question. As many as 10 respondants skipped some questions. The margin of error is high with so few respondants. I'd like to do more with the survey but unfortunately, a person has to pay more and more to download the individual answers and total results to use in a spreadsheet. Spending more than $24 on Ghost Hunters is too much. I have to leave it in flashpoll form. :(

Since that controversy on the TAPS board, I'll go ahead and ask - how would you like to be credited, and would you like a link to any site at all?
