Do You Believe in Ghosts?

You’re not the only one. Around 41% of U.S. adults say they believe in ghosts or spirits. And it’s not just belief — 18% of Americans say they’ve actually seen or felt a ghost’s presence.

That’s almost 1 in 5 people who’ve had a run-in with the unexplained. Still think that noise in your attic was just the wind?

Where Things Go Bump in the Night

Some states are ghost magnets. Between 2005 and 2020, Texas reported 6,845 ghost sightings, and California wasn’t far behind with 6,440.

But if you look at it per person, Wyoming wins the haunted crown — it has the highest rate of hauntings, with 37.3 ghost sightings per 100,000 people. Wide open land, empty roads, and just enough silence to hear the whispers.

Here’s Something Strange

61% of ghost sightings in Colorado happen in schools and universities. Maybe that cold draft in the hallway isn’t just bad insulation. And haunted houses?

They don’t just scare people — they scare off buyers too. Some spooky properties have been known to sell for 10–25% less than market value, all because of their eerie reputations.
