Overview
Take a tour with a twist as you discover the dark history of San Francisco and use real paranormal detection equipment on a ghost hunting hike around Chinatown.
You'll meet your guide amongst the eerie Victorian architecture of Jackson Square in the Historic District, get kitted out with your ghost hunting gear and learn about the different types of hauntings and ghosts you might encounter in the city.
Then you'll head into the old neighbourhood and learn about the long lost ships and graves buried beneath the streets. Find out about the Great Earthquake of 1906 and the residual hauntings which still shake the area over a hundred years later.
Keeping an eye on your ghost meters you'll travel on into Chinatown to uncover the tragedies and true crime stories which have left mysterious energies still lingering today.
Don't worry though, your ghost hunt will end with a ceremony to honor the spirits who may have joined the group and make sure you head home without any ethereal extra guests!

Great way to spend a Friday night!
A Mathie ·Great tour and spooky time! Our Friday night guide was super knowledgeable and engaging. He brought fun ghost-interacting tools which my scouts really enjoyed. Overall fun time exploring a historic part of city we otherwise might have bypassed.
Great Fun
Rashelle ·We had an awesome time with our ghost guide, Zave. My 11 year old daughter loved it.
Historic and spooky
This tour had a great blend of history and legends. The ghost busting tools were kind of silly but the kids on the tour loved them. Zave was a great host and made for an informative and entertaiining evening
Loved this!
