Number 10 is Indiana.
(rain falling)
(thrilling music)
(air whooshing)
There are an unbelievable number
of people who have reported
supernatural experiences in
the state of Indiana.
Much like the TV show Erie, Indiana,
this state is filled with macabre secrets,
vengeful spirits, and ghosts that will
never let the living rest.
For example, the Indiana Central State Hospital,
is the stuff of nightmares.
Closed in 1994, the psychiatric facility
is now abandoned, and many have reported
horrid screams, invisible hands,
and wraiths haunting the building.
Indiana is also home to the grave
in the middle of the road.
This grave sits in the middle of
a two lane street.
When it was recently investigated,
it was found that the grave contains
well, things that I'm unable
to say in this video.
Indiana is known for things that wander
the night as terrifying apparitions.

Number nine is Pennsylvania.
(rain falling)
(thrilling music)
(air whooshing)
It's not surprising that Pennsylvania
is among America's most haunted states.
Especially considering that it was
the location of some of the most
brutal battles during the American Civil War.
Gettysburg is considered one
of the most haunted places in the world,
with areas like the Devils Den,
and the Slaughter Pen,
where spirits are often seen
dressed for battle.
In Philadelphia, the Baleroy Mansion can be found
haunted by seven different spirits
and containing a chair which curses
anyone who sits in it.
Then there's the Hill View Manor
in the city of New Castle.
There, ghost hunters have found entities
which will pass through walls.
One apperition there can even
bring on death if you just look at it.
Another place is the Heilbron Manor in Glen Mills,
which is known as one of the most
cursed houses in the world,
as all who lived there meet their end.

(rain falling)
(suspenseful music)
Number eight is Arizona.
(rain falling)
(thrilling music)
(air whooshing)
Arizona is another state teaming
with tales of spirits and the undead.
It's not just the old houses
which are haunted there.
In Glendale, there's a pizzeria that's
haunted by the cries of unseen people,
and even the customers there
have encountered things moving
without being touched.
In Yuma Territorial Prison,
there's what's known as the dark cell.
At night, when the cell door is closed,
it's said that the ghostly figures
of previous inmates appear.
And in the Grand Canyon Caverns
in Peach Springs,
workers there have stood in horror
as ghostly figures stand inside the elevator,
which is the only way in and out of the cavern.
Sometimes the elevator will even move
by itself and some are terrified
that the ghost is trying to sabotage
the equipment so that all who work
down there in the dark,
will be cut off from the outside world.

Utah attracts many UFO enthusiasts
each year to the legendary
Skin Walker Ranch.
But the state also plays host
to many haunted locations.
The Mountain Meadow site
was the location of a horrifying event
during the Utah War.

of those who died there.
The Ben Lomond Hotel in Ogden,
is another haunted location.

a hive of paranormal activity.

Number six is California.
(rain falling)
(thrilling music)
(air whooshing)
California is known as The Golden State
due to it's beautiful weather,
and The Golden Gate Bridge
of San Francisco.
But dig a little deeper,
and there are many accounts
of terrifying paranormal encounters.
The Whaley House for example,
is an old fashioned brick building

prison in the world,
and several of it's cells are
said to be haunted,
even one previously occupied
by mobster Al Capone.

infamous California location.
Found in Crescent City,
the lighthouse has stood since 1856,
and it's haunted by an intrusive ghost

and even physically harms guests.

New York State contains more
than just the famous city.
It also contains some of the creepiest
haunted locations in the world.

was at one time both a church

and the spirit of Edger Zernicke,
whose ashes were never claimed by family,
and can be found in the basement.
You may have also heard of the infamous Amityville House,
which can be found in New York State.
But other locations such as
Burn Brae Mansion in Glen Spey,
may have their own supernatural guests
who take delight in frightening
anyone who stays there.
The Forest Park Cemetery in Brunswick
is also of note,
as inexplicable cold spots dot the graves,
and statues have lost limbs,
from which some say they bleed.
(air whooshing)
(rain falling)
(thrilling music)
Number four is Nebraska.
(rain falling)
(thrilling music)
(air whooshing)
Many people are surprised to learn
that Nebraska is the state with
the fourth largest number of
reported paranormal incidence.
Locations such as Ball Cemetery in Springfield,
show that the state most certainly
deserves this macabre accolade.
Ball Cemetery is home to the ghost
of a tall thin man,
who attempts to isolate people
from their group in order to attack them.
The Centennial Hall in Valentine,
has housed many a musical performance,
but it also is haunted by the ghost
of a clarinet player who died there
after the reed of their clarinet
was dipped in poison.

is a long lonely place,
and contains the tormented souls
of seven sisters who died there.
Many drivers have traveled along
this road at night,

breaths down their neck
from the backseat.
(air whooshing)
(rain falling)
(thrilling music)
Number three is Nevada.
(rain falling)
(thrilling music)
(air whooshing)
Nevada is a place of deserts,
Las Vegas, and Area 51.
But it's also the third most
haunted state in the US.
This shouldn't come as a surprise,
considering Las Vegas's connections
to organized crime back in the day.
At the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas,
there's an exhibit containing
wreckage and artifacts from the Titanic.
Employees and visitors have
encountered the ghostly apparitions
of those who perished on that famous ship.

But it has been the site of a mysterious plague,
and sits on top of an old miner cemetery.
Many have heard ghostly voices there,

it causes people to run
from the hotel screaming.

And number one is North Dakota.
(rain falling)
(thrilling music)
(air whooshing)
Between 2017 and 2018,
more ghostly encounters
were registered in North Dakota
than anywhere else in the United States.
North Dakota State University in Fargo,
is an uneasy reminder of why
this is the case.
Some of the halls are said
to be haunted by previous students,
who knock books out of peoples hands,
and cause electronics to fail.
But the creature in the basement is far, far worse.
This entity is said to strike
fear into the hearts of even
the most seasoned paranormal investigators.
Some believe this is to be because
of a series of unholy experiments
that was carried out down there.
There's also the San Haven Sanatorium in Dunseith.
This abandoned institute is so dangerous,
that urban explorers have come face to face
with a deadly apperition so frightening
that it's victims would rather climb out
through a window then face it's horrid grin.
