Like apple-cheeked children to a gingerbread house, we're drawn to dark places, spooky joints and... hayrides? In the course of haunt hunting, people seek the scary recesses of hospitals, prisons, and school-houses. Outdoors, the lure of haunted hayrides is the strongest, with twisting cornfield mazes and shadowed woods posing their own spine-chilling allure.

Of all the haunted hang-outs, the Buzz prefers home sweet home. The favorite, Knott's Scary Farm, is a sharpened stone's throw from the happiest place on earth. As for second place, that would be the Haunted Hoochie in Columbus. Yes. The Haunted Hoochie... as in haunted huts, of course. No wonder Ohio leads searches for anything haunted...
