A new study has revealed the most haunted places in the UK as more people claim to be sharing their homes with ghosts. Following the launch of Netflix’s supernatural fantasy series Lockwood & Co., research has been commissioned to better understand Britain’s relationship with the paranormal, and found that one in five people claim to share their home with a ghost.
One in two say it's a friendly presence, but a fifth are convinced it is malevolent and is out to do them harm. One in 10 Brits are convinced there is a haunted house or building in their local area.
One in six have sensed the presence of a ghost, with a tenth feeling a ghostly chill when entering a room. One in ten have seen a spirit at the end of their bed. More than one in twenty believe they have been comforted by a ghost, 5% have been touched by one - an experience which proves fatal in Lockwood & Co. - and 5% have seen the spirit of someone they knew when they were alive. 4% claim to have spoken to a ghost and 3% claim to have been given an important message by one.
