Private SF Ghost Tours
Private ghost hunting adventures in San Francisco
The perfect event for team outings, birthdays and funerals.
The Haunt is a hands-on ghost adventure through the streets of San Francisco. Bring your friends along and time travel to Gold Rush-era neighborhoods by night, seeking out evidence of the paranormal and hearing unforgettable tales from the city’s haunted past.
Everyone will get to carry their own EMF detector during the tour, and your guide will bring other modern ghost hunting tools, which will be used throughout the tour.
We think of this as more than “just a ghost tour,” with a perfect blend of haunted history, engaging storytelling, stunning architecture, and real ghost hunting.
Tour Overview
For private tours, we recommend kicking off at a nearby bar (High Horse, Comstock Saloon), then walking over to meet us at the Transamerica Pyramid.
We’ll get outfitted with our ghost hunting gear, and enter the Victorian-era Jackson Square Historic District, with eerie, well-preserved architecture.
We’ll talk about the lost graves and ships buried beneath us, and the hauntings and ghosts still seen in windows to this day.
Get a taste of the destruction of the Great Earthquake of 1906, and the residual hauntings that plague the neighborhood from that era.
Whenever EMF activity starts spiking on our EMF meters, we can investigate using tools like dowsing rods and a Spirit Box.
Next we’ll snake through the back alleys of Chinatown, learning of the neighborhood’s tragedies, including the true crimes whose energies remain — including a mysterious death in a historic theatre, and an infamous massacre at the Golden Dragon restaurant.
We’ll conclude the investigation with a ceremony to thank the spirits joined us, using music, a candle, and a few rituals to ensure that nothing follows you home.

In our experience, this doesn’t quite work! The 1.75 hour tour turns into a 4 hour event, and our tour guides are usually booked with back-to-back events.
Instead, we suggest meeting for a drink before the tour, then heading off to another watering hole once you survive the journey.
