Here you will find some interesting paranormal facts and some other fun things to keep you occupied.

*Paranormal experts say that people reach their peak ability to see ghosts when they are just 7 years old.

*Someone on earth reports seeing an UFO every 3 minutes. In the US most reported sightings are in July at either 9pm or 3am.

*Someone within 200 miles of your town claims to have had direct contact with a monster, ghost or some other unexplainable being.

*82% of Americans believe in an afterlife.

In a recent Gallup poll:

69% of Americans believe they will go SOMEWHERE after death.
45% believe in ghosts.
53% read their horoscopes regularly.
10% of us claim to have seen a ghost.
49% believe in ESP.
57% have had deja vu.
