A new Ipsos Reid poll conducted on behalf of CanWest News Service and Global Television finds that while two thirds (66%) of Canadians say that they believe in angels and half (48%) of the nation says they believe in spirits and ghosts. One in 10 (10%) Canadians believe that there is a spirit or ghost actually living in their house or residence, that’s 2.5 million Canadians. Citizens of Alberta top the list in believing there is something or someone living in their homes with (17%) followed by Ontario (11%), Saskatchewan/Manitoba (8%), Atlantic Canada (7%) and British Columbia (5%).
If you are a woman (13%) you’re slightly more likely than a man (6%) to believe you have an extra visitor. And when it comes to age groupings, there really isn’t much difference: middle aged (11%), and younger (9%) and older (8%).
