Some 53 percent believe in psychic powers and the possibility of life after death, a survey reveals. One in five say they have seen a ghost or felt the presence of a spirit while two in five believe in ?guardian angels?. Many people believe they have seen the ghost or felt the spirit of a close friend or relative who has passed away. Two in five say they want to speak to dead relatives and one in five has visited a medium or psychic to help them do so ? spending an average of ?31 per visit.
Almost two in five adults believe someone in their family is gifted with psychic ability. A third of the nation describe themselves as ?spiritual? but only a quarter claim to be ?religious?, according to the study carried out for the Clint Eastwood film ?Hereafter?. However, a third of the nation still believes in heaven and a fifth believes they will be reincarnated when they pass away, the report said.
One in five British adults would also love to have a conversation with the former Princess of Wales. Albert Einstein came second in the online poll of 3,000 adults, followed by Marilyn Monroe and Freddie Mercury. Seven percent want to have a chat with Adolf Hitler.
