Most people come to San Francisco for the sights, the bridge, the Irish coffees, and the tech. But the history of this buzzing California city has a darker side too. It’s teeming with details of murder, assassination, serial killers, and haunted souls lingering from beyond the grave. Established in 1776 and brought to rapid growth by the California Gold Rush, San Francisco quickly became one of the West Coast’s largest cities. In 1906, a massive fire burnt three-quarters of the city down, leaving lots of lingering spirits in its wake. Through hippie culture and the eras of early entrepreneurs and unrelenting earthquakes, the city of San Francisco has seen a lot in its time. That history has left a mark, and along with it, compelling stories of macabre sightings and lost souls left behind. Book your spot today.
