It's October, which means everyone's getting into the Halloween spirit. And there's nothing better to prepare for All Hallow's Eve than some spooky ghost stories.

Mental Floss collected the scariest ghost story from all 50 states, so now you can compare and contrast whether your state is truly the most frightening.

Obviously telling 50 ghost stories would take quite a while, so instead we'll simply write down the title or main thrust of each state's spookiest ghost story, and you can head over to Mental Floss or do your own internet sleuthing to find out the full story.
