It is reported that,"nearly a quarter of Americans believe in extraterrestrial UFOs...". Of some surprise to scholars, paranormal beliefs are not significantly lower among college students, even at institutions noted for science and engineering. For example, in one sample of students from Purdue University, a variety of different paranormal beliefs were endorsed by many of the respondents:
the existence of ghosts (70%) accurate predictions of the future made by psychics (37%) personal ability to use extra-sensory perception on occasion (44%), and astral-projection (30%).
