According to a May, 2023 study, Columbus is the 15th best city in the United States (out of the country’s 200 most popular) for paranormal activity.

The study, conducted by Lawnlove, rated cities depending on their number of Bigfoot sightings, number of UFO sightings, the number of “haunted sites” an area has, the city’s total number of paranormal conventions and events, in addition to 14 other metrics.
