00:00there's really no scientific evidence for ghosts but that doesn't mean that after the lights have
00:08gone out many of us don't still believe we've experienced something paranormal but now a new
00:13study might have finally found a link between spooky occurrences and the thing most of us do
00:17when all the lights go out sleep researchers found that among the more than 8 850 participants those
00:23who reported poor sleep quality were more likely to believe in ghosts demons and life after death
00:29they were also more likely to believe in near-death experiences as evidence of an afterlife and aliens
00:34coming to our planet in fact those who believed in aliens visiting earth were more likely to report
00:38having experienced sleep paralysis or exploding head syndrome a disorder where a mysterious loud
00:43noise or the sound of a crash is heard within one's head with the researchers writing in their paper
00:48quote one explanation for these associations is therefore that someone experiencing sounds or
00:53images associated with sleep could interpret this as evidence that aliens or other supernatural beings
00:58exist though they also suggest that it could be the other way around explaining that one's belief
01:03in these paranormal entities might cause anxiety that reduces their sleep quality still these results
01:08could shine a light on not only who is more predisposed to certain sleep disorders but it may
01:13also illuminate new ways to treat them
