Nearly two-thirds of American homeowners believe that their house is haunted, according to a new survey.
The survey by Angi, a service to help people find home service providers, found that 60% of homeowners believe that they may be living with ghosts.
Of the 1,000 homeowners surveyed, more than 65% claimed to have experienced unexplainable occurrences in their homes. About 31% reported hearing unexplained sounds in the walls, 30% reported creaking floorboards and 24% reported hearing unexplained footsteps.
About 13% of respondents reported seeing or hearing the toilet flush on its own. However, Angi did note that there is a phenomenon called “ghost flushing” where toilets will flush on their own due to a leak somewhere in the home’s toilet system.
Almost 20% of homeowners surveyed said they were scared of one or more parts of their home, such as their basement or attic. Nearly 60% said they would not like to be left alone at home.
However, 58% of respondents said they would consider living in a haunted house if it meant saving money.
There’s definitely something in my place, but it’s not sinister. If it’s a ghost, it can stay. And I even call them out. I’ll be home alone cooking when a Tupperware container on a shelf will drop on my head out of nowhere, or when it opens my dishwasher and cupboards at night. Only seem to see weird shit in the kitchen ever
