Walk with Spirits: A Haunted Pub Crawl in San Francisco
This bar hop plus ghost tour takes you through the most historic haunts of Gold Rush era San Francisco.
We start in the only part of downtown to survive the 1906 Earthquake and Fire - Jackson Square, then cross the infamous “Devil’s Acre,” and end in the legendary Chinatown. There you'll meet the ghosts of desperate miners, forlorn women, and shanghaied sailors... plus a serial killer or two.
And unlike a standard ghost tour, we’ll actually enter into four haunted locations where, if you choose, you might sip on that other kind of spirit.
