There’s a home for everyone. We have seen lists online of the best places for singles, for foodies, for dog-lovers, for Cleveland Browns fans. (Which is just northeast Ohio, for commiserating.)
Now for Halloween, there’s a list of the best U.S. cities for GHOSTS to live, and it considers things like: The number of cemeteries per 100,000 residents, ghost tours, haunted houses, vacant housing units, and the “search interest for ghosts.”
In the end, they found that if you’re a ghost who’s looking for a place to live, there’s no better place to put down roots than Savannah, Georgia.
Here’s the rest of the Top 10:
2. Charleston, South Carolina
3. New Orleans, Louisiana
4. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
5. Richmond, Virginia
6. Birmingham, Alabama
7. Las Vegas, Nevada
8. Cincinnati, Ohio
9. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
10. Baltimore, Maryland.
The next 10 are: Nashville, Miami, Orlando, Boston, Detroit, Tampa, Norfolk, Virginia, Atlanta, Kansas City, and San Francisco. (Assuming ghosts don’t mind shelling out $18 for toast.)
New York City is #23, despite being the home of the Ghostbusters, which is a significant negative, and Portland, Oregon is #29, even though most ghosts don’t have a use for kombucha starters and beanies.
(This analysis SHOULD’VE included the number of older homes on the market with: Creaky floorboards, attics and basements, antique mirrors, drafty windows, long hallways with sconces, and room for guests.)
