What To Expect

450 Sutter Building

The Sutter Building in San Francisco, a striking office structure adorned with elaborate Neo-Mayan carvings, was erected in 1929 as a medical building and once earned the nickname "The Temple of Doom." Despite its architectural grandeur, the building is notorious for reports of dark, unsettling presences, with visitors and staff alike feeling an eerie and oppressive atmosphere that lingers within its walls.

California Street

On California Street, the legend of the Wandering Bride haunts the area with a tragic tale. This ghostly bride is said to roam the streets in her wedding gown searching for her lost groom and leaving behind a chilling presence that still unsettles those who encounter her spectral form.

Pacific Union Club

Though a men's-only secret society holds meetings behind closed doors in this old mansion, they can't keep out the ghost of the original owner. Hear the testimony of a custodian who shared his insider information.

Huntington Park

Huntington Park in San Francisco, once the site of the grand Huntington Mansion owned by the renowned Collis P. Huntington, now offers a different kind of intrigue. After the mansion was lost to the 1906 earthquake, the park that replaced it has become known for its nighttime paranormal activities, with ghostly presences and eerie phenomena reported by those who visit after dark.

Nob Hill

Explore this historic neighborhood, shaped by centuries of interesting personalities and unexpected disasters. Listen as even more stories unfold as spirits of the past make their presence known.

This was one of my favorite walking tours I have ever taken! Mike was a wonderful guide, taking us to all the corners of the city and carefully curating our tour to the interests of the folks walking with us. We got lots of moments to take photos and rest during the steep climbs. Loved every moment!
