In the spirit of Halloween, how common is it to believe in ghosts in the U.S.? YouGov polled 8,276 U.S. adults in June 2026, asking the question “Do you believe in ghosts?” About 1 in 4 (26%) answered “definitely not,” while roughly 1 in 5 (21%) were firm believers, answering “definitely.” The rest were not so certain, answering with “probably” (23%), “probably not” (16%), or just “not sure” (14%).
