Maine Named 2nd ‘Most Haunted State in America’

Watch out while traveling up to Maine to grab the best lobster roll of your entire life, because while gobbling down that crustacean sammich you're more likely to encounter a ghostly being than in almost any other state, according to a new study.

Bonus Finder counted up each state's cemeteries, ghost sightings, haunted locations, and resident paranormal investigators to determine a rundown of most-haunted to least-haunted states in the US. Maine finished as the runner up.

If you're petrified by the thought of hauntings, ghosts, and paranormal activities then you should probably move to New Jersey because according to the study there ain't no ghosts there!! New Jersey ended up with an overall "haunting score" of 0.8 out of 10. If there are ghosts in New Jersey they like to chill, keep a low profile, and spend their days eating invisible pork rolls.

If you LOVE the thought of hauntings, ghosts, and paranormal activities then you should consider moving to Texas, the most haunted state in America according to the study. Texas gets an overall haunting score of 9.8 out of 10. Texas has so many ghosts that even the ghosts complain of hauntings. I kid.

Maine took the second most haunted spot with a haunting score of 9.0 out of 10. Vermont tied Florida for third with a score of 8.8 out of 10. Surprisingly even though Massachusetts is so dang old and has so much history, we're relatively unhaunted (again, according to this study). Massachusetts finished as the 38th most haunted state in the US with a haunting score of only 3.1! So that ghost you heard last night was just your cat. LOL

Since we're getting into the spirit of the Spooky Season in this article, here's some Halloween info you can actually use: 5 Candies To Avoid This Halloween according to the Beverly Hills Dentist. Truth be told I'm still going nuts on sour gummies but that's just me...

You know that dude that pops up on social media this time of year every year, with his theatrical black shirt and pants and huge pumpkin head? That's me, dancing my face off out of excitement for another Halloween. I stopped trick or treating soooooo long ago but there's still something about Halloween that gets my blood pumping. I think I love the creativity: you can be something beautiful or straight up nasty. You can decorate your house in so many different ways.... or not decorate your house at all.

Many other people (especially the kiddos) love Halloween for all the sweet treats this time of year. How many Reese's Pumpkins have you eaten so far this year. I personally lost count some time in early September.

Dr. Kevin Sands, a board-certified cosmetic dentist based in Beverly Hills, California, has stepped forward to say: NOT ALL HALLOWEEN CANDY IS CREATED EQUAL. Some is bad. But some is really, reeeeaaaaalllllyyyy bad. In fact, he says there are 6 candies to try to avoid at all costs on Halloween... and, in case you're reading this article on some random March day, just in general.

And though he gave us "The Avoid These 5," he also gave us some not-as-bad options and they include CHOCOLATE so hey, this ain't that bad, right?
Dr. Sands says chocolate, powdered candy, Smarties, yogurt-covered raisins, nuts, popcorn, and sugar-free gum are all better options for Halloween and snacking in general. Much of this obviously should be eaten in moderation. Just because chocolate is listed as a better option, it doesn't mean it's fruit. LOL

Now the bad news...
This list may hurt a little but these are 5 candies you should absolutely skip this Halloween according to Beverly Hills dentist Dr. Kevin Sands.

Hard candies pose a risk of breaking or chipping your teeth. But even if you're not a candy-biter, these candies are no good because since they're in your mouth for a prolonged period of time it gives bacteria with a long sugar feast. Ew. Avoid.

I love gummies but I love my fillings being in my teeth more. The doctor says taffy and caramels are especially bad so: avoid.

The doctor says that many sour candies have almost as much as high of a pH level as an alkaline battery! This can wear the enamel on your teeth down in a jiffy. Avoid.

These should be ok, right? Wrong, says the Beverly Hills dentist. Sugar-free candies often contain citric acid, which despite having way less sugar, can still wear down enamel so avoid.

Besides being a risk to fillings, chewy candies like nougat and toffee can stick to the teeth then here comes the bacteria. Best to avoid.
