Men & The Supernatural

As we get closer to Halloween there is a greater focus on the supernatural,
something I have no interest in and frankly don’t believe exists. My fellow men gave their thoughts on the subject in “The Average Guy” section of this month’s Men’s Health magazine and here are some stats and results:

· 50% of men believe spooks really exist.
· 33% say they’ve actually seen some kind of ghost.
· 20% think it’s possible to communicate with the dead.
· 1 in 6 say they have received advice from a spirit and
1 in 3 of those say they have acted on that advice.
* 90% of men say they’re convinced that psychics are frauds
but almost half of them become believers if their wives or
girlfriends disappear and they need help finding them.
· The average guy explains ESP as a “Lucky Hunch.”
· 80% of us men believe there are rational explanations for
all “supernatural” occurrences.
· Despite all of this 40% hesitate a second before heading down
into a dark basement.
· 10% of men say their psyches can’t handle horror movies and the
scariest supernatural flicks include The Exorcist, The Ring, The Amityville Horror and The Sixth Sense. What happened to Night
Of the Living Dead?
· 64% of men would like to haunt the planet after they die.
· 40% believe both people and objects can be cursed and 90% say
their lives took a step in the positive direction after they threw-out
a bad luck charm.
* Lastly the special power that most men would like to have is time
travel followed closely by invisibility which he would like to test
out in Scarlett Johansson’s bedroom. Typical male response.
