Psychic Poll
More than half of people would turn to therapists such as healers rather than endure long NHS waiting lists, according to a new poll.
And more than two thirds (67%) believe in the psychic powers of mediums and clairvoyants, 54% in ghosts, and 41% in an intelligent life on another planet, the poll found.
Seven out of 10 people questioned could name a paranormal expert, compared with one in 10 who could name a nationally acclaimed doctor.
Regionally, 72% of those in Scotland said they would turn to an alternative therapist to get better, followed by 66% of those in Wales and 45% of Londoners.
When people were asked what mystery of life they would like the answer to, 40% said they would like to know if there is life after death.
One in five (22%) wanted to know if there was life on another planet while 15% would like to find out if there is a God.
Just over a third (36%) of the 3,000 people questioned said they already believed in God.
The ITV2 survey was carried out to mark the return of the show Haunted Homes, which broadcasts on Friday at 10.30pm.
Mia Dolan, a psychic on Haunted Homes, said: "People are no longer embarrassed to see psychics or healers.
"These ancient arts are returning to the forefront of society and, combined with the constant press on the state of the NHS and an increase in the belief of these arts, it's no wonder people are looking elsewhere for healing."

Hi Mr Hippo,
I have to admit I am somewhat sceptical about a lot of these healers. However, many acquaintances have good things to say about acupuncture--one schoolmate had problems with his leg that were only solved through several visits to his acupuncturist after "traditional" medicine had failed him.
Being sceptical is always a good thing, in fact I can still be a sceptic, I don't always assume or accept everything told to me or even that every Medium or Psychic is good, I am well known for exposing frauds.
Healing I agree can sound a bit vague to some people but thats ok, as a Reiki Master Healer myself, I have seen some wonderful results from healing, so you could say I'm converted :)
