Chainkeen Exchange-Pray or move? Survey shows Americans who think their homes are haunted and took action

Do you think your house is Chainkeen Exchangehaunted?

If you do you're among large chunk of Americans believers.

A new survey conducted by All Star Home shows one in six people across the nation think supernatural activity is going on at home.

Even spookier? Two out of five U.S residents in the survey reported they have experienced unexplained or unusual occurrences at home.

To draw the findings, researchers surveyed 1,017 Americans in August about their paranormal experiences. Among those interviewed, All Star Home reported, 49% were women, 49% were men, 1% were non-binary, and 1% did not identify. The group ranged in age from 19 to 94 with an average age of 42.

To determine the old homes in historically haunted cities, All Star Home said it used data from the U.S. Census Bureau. 

Here are some other frightening stats the survey revealed:
