@XYZ......: What do you mean by abnormal??? dont you believe in jinns!
Whatever they are smoking, I'd like some.
Abnormal People!
Many people have jinns as their friends and this is not useless article it is just for fun!
One of the worst articles ever.
Useless survey with the most misleading heading ever. Total survey population was 500 odd people and the headline allocates it to all Pakistanis. 4% believe in vampires? Was this survey only refined to the burger areas of Pakistan? e.g. Defense, Clifton. I am pretty sure 98% of the 160m plus population don't even know what a vampire is! Looks like Tribune don't have anything meaningful to write about other than publishing research findings of a survey done by a 10 year old Karachi Grammar School Student.
I believe that its an irrelevant and poor structured survey... People don't take online surveys seriously + sample for survey should be enough to represent 200 million people. A 500 people survey cannot represent what others perceive.
Alas; what kind of survey it is.??? I am very optimistic for future of the country but when i read these sorts of hilarious survey and the number of respondents and amazingly the findings of the survey. I will become pessimistic and wish not no but i am afraid it is hard true as our nation still believe in magic or all these nonsense and wonder why we have Fantastic Leaders.... because we are waiting for magic or some super natural force or incident to be happened that can save us other wise will be living in miserable life... Wake up its all mind game
-,-.... ah pah-lezzzz tht isnt supernatural power its called 6th sense n every1's got 1 -,-.....
So 17% believing in superporwers makes you laugh But 99% believing in higher powers is ok.
I came for the hot girl in the picture btw.
I bet they were just trolling.
TROLLED!
The 17% are ruling elites and high ranking officials of armed forces.
really nice picture chosen for this info by express tribune :)
everyone has 6th sense which is called intuition.17% should have been 100% in my belief!!!
Yes because everything on the internet is true? Whoever hosted this poll got trolled HARD.
Explains everything what is wrong in our society.
17% believe they have super powers? Appalling and absurd. I hope they chose that option for the sake of trolling.
Haha!
