Abstract: Houran, et al.'s model for haunting phenomena predicts that fear of ''paranormal phenomena'' is associated with intolerance of ambiguity. Consistent with this prediction, ratings by 86 undergraduates (14 men and 72 women) showed a correlation of .33 between the scores on the Anomalous Experiences Inventory and the Rydell-Rosen Ambiguity Tolerance Scale.
