A new study just ranked the most haunted towns in America, based on their “Spookiness Index. They looked at factors like reported ghost sightings, haunted locations, haunted house attractions, psychic and spiritual businesses, funeral services, and spooky Google searches.
And the most haunted city in the U.S. is:
1. Virginia City, Nevada . . . it’s a former mining town with a spooky past, and a whole lot of paranormal businesses nearby.
2. Tombstone, Arizona
3. Eureka Springs, Arkansas
4. Galena, Illinois
5. Gettysburg, Pennsylvania . . . to be fair, it’s just really a big empty field . . . but considering all the people that fought and died there, it has to be haunted.
6. Cape May, New Jersey
7. Estes Park, Colorado
8. Austin, Texas
9. Los Angeles
10. Weston, West Virginia
A couple other notable places on the list: Amityville, New York was #13, Williamsburg, Virginia was #20, New Orleans was #22, New York City was #68 and Boston was #69.
