Overview
Brave San Francisco’s dark and ghostly past on a real ghost hunt down historic alleys.
You’ll use modern ghost hunting gear, including your own EMF detector during the tour.
After meeting near the Transamerica Pyramid, your ghost hunter guide escorts you down haunted alleys, through mysterious neighborhoods, and around historic street corners. Stand atop old Gold Rush cemeteries, learn of paranormal activity following mysterious deaths, visit the site of infamous brothels, hear about Gold Rush–era hauntings, and how Chinatown’s gang wars changed the city.
But it's not “just a ghost tour” -- this tour includes tales of unexplained deaths, scandalous murders, the old red light district and more...
Children are welcome at your discretion — the tour does include some talk of violence and the macabre, but is generally considered family-friendly.
This tour can accommodate wheelchairs and strollers, but there will be two moderate hills -- please inquire if you have concerns.
