Answer and Explanation:
This question is asking for a personal, subjective opinion. What I will provide, therefore, should be changed and adapted to conform your own perspective:
I believe supernatural beliefs are more prominent in the country due, nowadays, to a matter of tradition and culture. In the past, people who lived in rural areas witnessed different strange occurrings. Since they did not know the scientific explanation for those happenings, they would come up with supernatural explanations as a way to rationalize things. Of course, nowadays, supernatural beliefs are probably rarer than they were in the past, but there are still people, especially elders, who traditionally teach their beliefs to younger generations.
