New Study Reveals States With the Most Ghost Sightings

It’s a grave new ranking for New York.

The Empire State is officially the most haunted state in America, a spine-chilling new study found. 

Researchers from Casino.ca pinpointed the most common spots for phantom sightings by analyzing more than 1.8 million Ghosts of America records — a series of books and related websites for paranormal stories — over the past century, plus reports from social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, X and online forums. 

New York racked up a hair-raising 160,198 spirit encounters — or about 81 run-ins per 10,000 residents — over the last 100 years, researchers found.
