I never saw a haunted house in Europe and don't know a single person in any of the countries where I have family and/or friends, who believes that garbage. I guess that comes from the movies here in the US, like so many other biased notions about people from other countries.
Americans badly need to travel more, the insulation of people here creates this kind of ignorance and fear of other people. Even less developed countries seem far more knowledgeable about other cultures than the average American.
That comment made me laugh, actually. 'Ghosts' and 'haunted houses' and it's 'creepy' to have a stable home environment! Kind of sad too, as it shows how unstable life here is for so many people they cannot even imagine how wonderful that kind of stability is. I envy them that.
