It’s the time of year for ghosts, but where can you find – or maybe try to avoid – them in Kentucky? Although wagering on Kentucky sports betting can be scary, we have something that will give you chills.
Few states in America have the type of history, both modern and colonial, that the Bluegrass States does, which lends itself perfectly to the spookiest month of the calendar year and the tales that come along with it.
In Kentucky, Army hotspots Fort Knox and Fort Campbell were among the spookiest places in the state, while other, more civilian locales like Owensboro, Ashland, Corbin and Bowling Green, all found themselves atop or close therein when it comes to towns in the Commonwealth with the most ghost sightings overall.
BetKentucky.com utilized GhostsofAmerica.com to compile the amount of ghost sightings across the state of Kentucky. After determining the number of sightings per city, we developed the Top 10 cities for ghost sightings.

Which Kentucky Cities Have Seen The Most Ghosts?
When it comes to ghost sightings, there must be something brewing on the grounds of the Commonwealth’s longstanding Army bases, as Fort Knox was the far-and-away spookiest location in the state, with 93 sightings, while Fort Campbell ranked third overall with 49 sightings.
In between, Owensboro ranked second when it came to ghost sightings, with 51 of them, while Ashland (25 sightings), Corbin (23 sightings) and Bowling Green (22 sightings) were the next closest places in Kentucky when it came to paranormal activity.
Throw in Georgetown (21 sightings), the duo of Newport and Middlesboro (19 sightings each), and Henderson (17 sightings) and you have the full top 10 in Kentucky, ghost sighting-wise, though no place in the Bluegrass State could hold a candle to the Civil War-era Army base named after America’s first Secretary of War, Henry Knox.
