It’s always fun to see where your home state ranks in terms of comparison to other states when it comes to things like being haunted. For Floridians, you might not think that Florida is as haunted as some other states, but you’ll be surprised to see where The Sunshine State ranked. Thanks to the Travel Channel, all 50 states have been ranked in terms of how haunted they are, and you might not be expecting to see where Florida falls.

Using data from different shows like Kindred Spirits, Portals to Hell, and Ghost Adventures, the Travel Channel has compiled a list of the most and least haunted states in the country.

In fact, tied for 15th place with Colorado (hello, the Stanley Hotel, anyone?!) Florida ranks as extremely haunted compared to other states.

According to the Travel Channel’s findings, the reason why the ranking is so high is due to cities like St. Augustine.
