Where do ghosts really like to hang out? It seems they prefer some parts of the country more than others and a new study highlights their favorite haunts.
- Freepik did their research to find the most haunted states in the U.S.
- They gathered data from a variety of sources to identify which ones are home to the most ghost sightings and haunted locations.
- It seems ghosts aren’t very interested in the Sunshine State. It’s actually the least haunted state, as there have only been 7.9 ghost sightings for every 100-thousand residents in Florida, and only 1.5 haunted places reported.
- So, where do the spirits want to spook? Way out west in Wyoming, which has 13 haunted places and 37.3 ghost sightings per 100-thousand people, making it the most haunted state.

Scott's Thoughts:
- Looks like I’ll be staying away from Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota!
- The closest thing to what felt like a real ghost experience for me was with a Ouija board at 18 years old. Never again.
- There are some scary places around here.
