survey reveals significant increase of Spukerlebnissen in the UK Richard Wiseman Ghostmap 2011: The results of the poll after Spukerlebnissen Hatfield, England - A recent study by Professor Richard Wiseman skeptical parapsychologist from the University of Hertfordshire "shows that 25 percent, 11 million of adult Britons are convinced that he himself ever witnessed by Spukphänomenen.

"attributed to the increase in people, the creaking doors and cold flashes spirits could be attributed to several factors" said Wiseman. It was such a marked increase in TV shows, ghost hunters, while traditional beliefs were in decline. The survey also shows a marked difference in the spirit Allow between the sexes. While 31 percent of the women of the experiences reported, it was for men only 18 percent. "Dieses Verhältnis hat sich in nahezu gleicher Weise schon in allen früheren Untersuchungen bestätigt. Ein Grund hierfür mag darin liegen, dass wesentlich mehr Frauen Spukerscheinungen als sozial akzeptabel betrachten als Männer."
Trotz seiner zahlreichen Untersuchungen und Studien über das Übersinnliche, ist Wiseman selbst bekennender Skeptiker des Paranormalen und zählt zu den populärsten Vertretern der internationalen Skeptiker-Gemeinde. In seinen Büchern wie "Paranormality" beschreibt er unter anderem seine Überzeugung, dass Spukerscheinungen in Wirklichkeit das Ergebnis von Halluzinationen, Suggestion und optischen Täuschungen sind. "As for the existence of ghosts, I'm extremely skeptical" , so Wiseman.
"However, demonstrates the new study suggests that despite great advances in science and technology, many people still have a deep-seated desire to believe in the impossible. This is why such strange experiences a fascinating insight into our psyche and our behavior."
