Results of the Paranormal Beliefs Survey (Revised) (Tobacyk (2004)) from visitors to the Prophette and Shaman Metaphysical Betting Stand at the Port Eliot Festival 2012, n-25. Beliefs were rated on the Likert Sacle (1 =” Strongly Disagree” to 7 = “Strongly Agree”). Odds are calculated on the basis of the proportion of believers (“Strongly”, “Moderately” and “Slightly Agree” with belief statements) to the non-believers and the “Uncertain” (=3).  For each belief is shown the number of respondents in the believer categories (for all belief statements in that category), the number uncertain and the number not believing (e.g. 29 15 65) from which the odds were calculated e.g. 71 (16+55) to 29 or 7/3. Also sown are the min (\/) and max (/\) on the 7 point scale, the mean score (x bar) and the standard deviation (s, sample).  The bar chart and curve of best fit show the belief scores ranked from highest to lowest.
