And other stories from the stranger side of life
More than half of people claim they have made contact with a dead relative, according to a US study. The Pew Research Center found that around half of adults in the US (53%) say that they have been visited by a dead family member in a dream or some other form. Some 44% said that such interactions have occurred within the last 12 months. The researchers found that women are more likely than men to say they had at least one of these three experiences in the last year (53% vs 35%), noted The Telegraph.
