Aussies 'embrace the paranormal'
WOMEN see dead people but blokes are more likely to believe in aliens, according to a poll suggesting Australians are willing to accept the paranormal.
Most of us believe in ESP, haunted houses and the afterlife, and we have a voracious appetite for reading horoscopes and watching television shows with paranormal content.
But whether we believe in it or not, the supernatural evokes a strong response.
According to a Reader's Digest survey to be released this week: Men outranked women on only one question in the survey – 65 per cent believe that extraterrestrial beings have visited earth at some time, compared with 60 per cent of women.
"People are absolutely passionate about this subject, whether they believe in `out-of-this-world' phenomena or not," Reader's Digest executive editor Sue Carney said.
One in four Australians say they have become more interested in the paranormal in the past two years while only six per cent say their interest has dwindled.
