Haunted SF: Ghosts, Murder and Mystery
Experience hosted by Wes
90 mins
Up to 10 people
Hosted in English
What you'll do
Immerse yourself in the ghostly and murderous history of San Francisco. With an entertaining and theatrical guide, hear after-dark tales of true crimes, famed ghosts and paranormal activity, mysterious deaths, ruthless villains, the old red light district, assassins and more.
From Union Square enter the St. Francis Hotel, famous for its past guests involved in politics, Hollywood and the arts, but infamous for a number of mysterious deaths. In the Tenderloin, hear how this neighborhood got its name, and see the site of the spectacular suicide that cast a dark glow over the neighborhood.
Down the street, see where the Zodiac Killer picked up his final victim before disappearing forever. Around the corner was the notorious brothel run by madam Tessie Wall. Further along, you'll hear of Gold Rush ghosts and hauntings we still come across. And back on Powell Street, the Union Square Hotel has been a hotbed of paranormal accounts.

Tour was great! Lisa was definitely knowledgeable and fun. I’d for sure spend all night walking and listening to her stories. Would’ve liked for it to be longer because it was so entertaining time felt short. But for the price, it was perfect. Will definitely want to try their other tours when back to San Francisco!

My wife and I had a great time on the tour. Love the history stories about the people who lived in those old structures during their day. I’ve taught history in high school and our guide gave a really good presentation and was really knowledgeable when it came to the history on the people who lived in the past and the spooky and mysterious going on of their time period.
Thanks had a fun time 😊
