Are Minnesota + Wisconsin Haunted? A New Study Just Ranked All 50 States

Just in time for spooky season! A new ranking has put a few things into perspective, naming the most and least haunted states across the country. This news is so interesting, it's scary.

Halloween is already coming up a week from Saturday. This October has flown by and I already feel the post-October sadness setting in. It always begins on November 1st because I love spooky season so much.

I will soak it in while it's here. This list was put together by Gamble Mind, which looked at search volumes across all fifty states for fifty paranormal-related terms. Think "is my house haunted" and "ghost hunters" for example.

With that said, they gave every state a ranking based on how haunted it is and I am pretty disappointed about both Minnesota and Wisconsin's place on the list. Sigh.

How Haunted Is Minnesota & How Haunted Is Wisconsin? Let's Find Out!

The answer? Not too haunted, apparently. Minnesota came in at number 21 on this list, meaning it's not really haunted but it's also not not haunted. It's just somewhere in the middle. Sigh.

As for Wisconsin, it is in the same boat, landing at number 24 on this list. That means it is pretty much caught dead in the middle. You can see all the information laid out with this ranking online but overall, neither state made an impact here. Maybe next year?

Of course, searching for haunted things on the internet does not a haunted state make, but considering the people in each state know best, it makes sense that this list was put together by spooky-related searches.

All things related to spooky season obviously spike in October but if you ever find me looking up if my home is haunted in the year 2026, I will be moving out immediately. Ha! Happy spooky season to all who celebrate.

By the way, the most haunted states? California takes the top spot, followed by Texas and New York. I never would think of any of those places as being haunted so that was interesting.
