While 54 per cent of people believe in God, 58 per cent believe in the supernatural.

Researchers found women were more likely to believe in the supernatural than men, and were more likely to visit a medium.

Nearly a quarter of the 3,000 questioned by researchers claimed they had an encounter with the paranormal.

Some 37 per cent said aliens and ghosts were the basis of their belief system.
