Ghosts Beat God in Poll

A new, informal poll shows that more Brits believe in ghosts than in God. The survey of over 2000 people found that only 55% believed in a god, whilst 68% believe that ghosts are real. Of those who believed in ghosts, a massive 12% believe that they have actually seen one. No figures were given for the number of people who believe they've actually seen a god.

Belief in UFOs seems to be in decline, with only 26% believing they exist. Poor old Nessie fared especially badly with only 4% believing that the Loch Ness Monster is real.
