Almost half of Ireland believes in the supernatural

Also, half of Irish women believe in the paranormal.

A new survey out today also shows Irish men are superstitious, with nearly 2 in every 5 convinced of eerie entities.

Across the regions, Connacht-Ulster are most open to the idea, at 51%.

And Munster is the most skeptical at 40%.

Leinster are also believers, at 49%.

While those aged between 25 and 34 came out the most superstitious.

Brian Purcell from Lottoland, who carried out the survey, says older people are non-believers:

"The older maybe wiser, sensible group of 65 and over age group, they would be the most skeptical.

"Nearly 75% are really dismissive of things supernatural like paranormal and ghost stuff."
