In UK, 755 friendly supernatural entities reported in past 25 years

Rev. Fanthorpe, “one [of] the UK’s leading authorities on the paranormal,” concluded research on the Supernatural Angel Report, having “found that in the past 25 years there have been a staggering 755 official reports [of friendly supernatural sightings] to police and councils in the UK.” These reports are of sightings or interactions with helpful or benign supernatural entities, and the numbers break down like this: “192 sighting of benign entities - ghosts which just appear and vanish without scaring viewers - 127 friendly entities, which smile or wave at people, 104 angelic visions, 99 helpful entities which actively help people who see them, 69 animal spirits, 44 sightings of fairies, 41 visions of saints, 32 of white witches, 24 guardian angels and 23 healing entities. Last month it was revealed in a study by the same organisation that there had been 227 ‘evil’ paranormal reports in the past 12 months in the UK.” It's a pleasant surprise to hear that pleasant ones are several times more frequent than malevolent ones.
