The Fog of San Francisco hides a multitude of sins, sinners, and spirits. Walk through the mists with San Francisco Ghosts.

Welcome to San Francisco – Home of the first brownstone west of the Mississippi, and the Wandering Bride of Powell Street. Find out what other darkness hides behind San Francisco’s high society reputation with our ghostly walking tour.

Here are 4 reasons why you should book your San Francisco Ghosts tour over any other tourist attraction!

• You want to know the real story of San Francisco

  The stories we have don’t appear on any of the Clamper plaques around the city, and certainly not in any guidebook. Each stop on our 8 or 12 location tours gives you a vivid and memorable look into the real story of San Francisco. Unvarnished, and unleashed, San Francisco has many ghosts in its closet. Like the Fairmont Hotel, one of the few structures still standing after the 1909 earthquake, subsequent tragic accidents gave rise to rumors of a curse, one of the original pair of sisters that built the hotel even comes back occasionally in spectral form to check up on how their hotel is doing.

  You will hear other stories that will bring alive the complex and evocative history of San Francisco and the Bay Area. The research process turned up stories from further afield in Northern California, some of which we could not include in the San Francisco Ghosts walking tour, so we included them in our blog of haunted stories of the San Francisco area,

• You only have a short time in the city.

  If you are looking for an activity just after dinner, and before the city comes alive at night, our hour-long ghost tour can help you get the most out of your short time in San Francisco.

  The stories come thick and fast as you take our standard tour of a one-mile route around San Francisco’s Nob Hill and Union Square neighborhoods. You will not only touch the history of the city but hear the fascinating stories of the people who make up the living, breathing history of this amazing city, and their everlasting remains; ghosts.

  More fun than any museum and you get more up close and personal than any tour bus. Our expert local guides will show you a side of San Francisco that not many locals get to see. That is another reason people who have lived here all their lives often join the San Francisco Ghosts tour, they sometimes add additional facts and stories to the tour, but even locals always learn something new about the City by the Bay.

• You are a skeptic of the Supernatural.

  Our tours happen in the twilight hours, click on the book now button to see the exact tour times, you will set out just as darkness is falling, and the spirits are just waking up. We have had many people on the tour experience an unusual chill, and not because Karl the fog is rolling in. That’s right, the legendary San Francisco Fog has a name, and even a Twitter account!  The chills our tour guests experience are from glimpses of the occasional ghost or an unexplained feeling. This isn’t guaranteed, and wouldn’t expect a sighting to change the mind of a hardened skeptic, but we have expanded the horizons of quite a few people over the years. We would welcome the chance to expand your receptivity to the supernatural.

  Perhaps you will become one of the many people who have seen the Wandering Bride of California Street. She has a very mysterious story, we know some details, an arranged marriage to the son of her father’s business partner, a disappearance on the night of her presentation to society, the mysterious discovery of her body in Montana years later.  She is often seen in her wedding dress hurrying down California Street at night.

• You want something the whole family will enjoy

  Everyone can learn something about San Francisco and be entertained at the same time. The whole family can enjoy San Francisco Ghosts, and the stories are not so scary as to cost younger ghost enthusiasts a night of sleep, but they will be remembered for years to come.

  We believe a good story is the best souvenir, and we have 8 or 12 stories for you that are made even more memorable because you will be standing on the exact spots where the remarkable events from history happened.  You don’t get the same experience from the seat of a bus whizzing by these places.

  A walking tour is the only way to be able to reach out and touch the stones of the Sutter building and run your hands over the bizarre Mayan designs. They include the World Tree symbol, a traditional sign of a connection between the world of the living and the dead. The building has recorded a lot of unexplained happenings over the years. The story about how a building constructed in the 1920s to house medical professionals came to have a set of symbols from a long-dead civilization thousands of miles away is a fascinating one.

  Book your spot to find out more, and be thoroughly entertained on the haunted streets of San Francisco.
