      dunno about that. based on no research, just living here, there's practically no belief in ufos OR ghosts here in hungary.

      there are ufo magazines, or used to be in the 90s, but i think it's a really really tiny subculture. ghost enthusiasts are probably an even smaller one.

      but i dont think anyone would make reality tv about haunted houses or ufo abductions here.

      so maybe it does have something to do with anglo culture. or i'm just oblivious and the mental rot is at the same level here too.

        Are you university educated, living in a city? I know a few slovaks and a few non-anglo western euros who believe in ghosts but all are Catholics and from rural parts so to speak. But they believe like I have known Americans to believe, full ghost-hunter orb-photo mentality.

        I think UFOs are more of an American thing but ghosts are international, but definitely europe seems like they believe in ghosts the least even if every town and city still does ghost tours.

        Worth noting also that serious UFO people in the USA are also a 'tiny subculture' (big country) with a few low-circulation publications (falling off since the 90s like all print media). But ghosts? That's like a third to half of all Americans lol
