States Where You Are Most Likely To See A Ghost — Find Out Where Rhode Island Ranks

As Halloween approaches, a recent study determined which states are the most likely for you to catch sight of a ghost.

The study, conducted by the researchers at sports betting media and analytics company Action Network, "analyzed data on 67,979 reported ghost sightings, 431,117 cemeteries, 2,795 haunted locations, 4,812 ghost towns and average monthly ghost-related Google searches," according to a media release.

"All states were ranked on each of these five factors, measured per 100,000 residents, and the results were combined into a final ranking," the release said.

West Virginia turned out to be the state that gives you the best chance to spot a ghost, followed by South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa and Montana.

The least likely state to see a ghost is New Jersey, with Florida, California, New York and Connecticut rounding out the bottom of the list.

Rhode Island made it into the top half at 23rd, one spot behind Indiana and just ahead of Colorado.
