Is it common for teenagers to have encounters with ghosts?

I have interview evidence to suggest that ghost encounters and beliefs are common amongst Buddhist teenagers. I've heard this is also the case for Pagan/Wiccan teenagers - but have no firm evidence. I'd be interested to know of published accounts of such experience in other teenagers, to gain some idea if this is something notable amongst Buddhists.

The existence of spirits (or ghosts) is accepted in Buddhist culture and as such it is more common for the topic to be discussed informally. It might not necessarily be a matter of religious culture because it can be due to societal culture too. In the Philippines, discussion of ghosts, supernatural topics, and paranormal phenomenon is not rare and is usually accepted.
