The SmokyMountains website provides extensive information about the renowned national park, including the scariest locations across the country. Their team conducted a study to determine the most spine-chilling state by evaluating the most haunted places, houses, and Halloween shops in each state. Based on the level of “Halloween spirit” they exude, the website ranked these places and listed them on their Spookymeter.

With 172 Spirit Halloween stores and Alcatraz, known as the most haunted place in the world with 2,240,000 Google search returns on average, California performed exceptionally well.
