万圣节调查:1/3美国人迷信鬼魂

（单词翻译）

    Ghosts and goblins are more than Halloween decorations or costumes for many Americans who confessed they believe in the supernatural(超自然的，不可思议的) and returning from the grave.
    Thirty-seven percent of 2,100 adults questioned in a Zogby Interactive（相互的） poll said they think ghosts are real, and 23 percent believe they have been visited by a deceased relative or friend.
    Even the 22 percent who said they have not had any ghostly experiences themselves know someone who has.
    "More than a third of Americans have this belief that ghosts do exist," said a spokesman for Zogby, adding that the findings were surprising.
    Nearly half of those questioned said if they could be a ghost, they would choose to come back as themselves.
    But belief in the supernatural is not required to enjoy Halloween. Eighty-seven percent of parents said their children would be dressing¹ up for the holiday and 71 percent would be trick-or-treating.
    But 41 percent of adults said they were not celebrating Halloween, including 12 percent who cited religious reasons.
    Serial² killers³ were deemed to be the scariest costumes, followed by the walking dead and zombies.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
