Just for fun, while looking for some good ghost stories to tell my nieces and nephews this Hallowe'en, I discovered This Report on America's Most Haunted States.

I think it provides some interesting statistics on alleged "hauntings", such as: "Who haunts America's haunted houses?"

49% - Unknown, unspecific, or "other".
14% - Ghosts of dead Men.
14% - Ghosts of dead Women.
10% - Ghosts of Dead Girls.
8% - Ghosts of Unspecified Dead Children.
5% - Ghosts of Dead Boys.

Quote:
It appears that haunting a house is an equal opportunity affair.  The word "man" is mentioned in descriptions of nearly as many haunted sites as the word "woman" -- about 1,600. This means spirits of men and women (as opposed to any other age, identity, or entity) account for roughly 28% of all the ghosting going around.
