  • N/A

    Famous for room 309 and room 209, which are both active. One of the ghosts may be someone you have already heard of, an infamous gunslinger, can you guess who that might be? Visitors still experience mysterious cold chills, footsteps, and glowing orbs. Though the rooms are booked consistently preventing us from entering we will take you as close as we can. You'll hear the stories of those rooms and more in the lobby and bar area. You'll also have access to our videos of the rooms themselves. Perhaps after, you'll be moved to book these rooms yourself.

    15 minutes

  • Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House

    This is the house where people would come to die as it was a hospital of sorts with a dramatic history. Our guests have experienced being pushed around the house with a hand on their back when there is no one behind them and catching mysterious shapes on camera.

    20 minutes

Very interesting and entertaining! Great walk around the Gaslamp Neighborhood.

Published on Jan, 2025

We had such a fun tour with our guide, Kats. She was sooo interesting and filled us all with great stories and insights during the walk. While we didnt see any paranormal activity during our walk, Kats gave us tips as well as picture proof that the spirits are alive and well in The Gaslamp Area. Thank you to Kats!

A super fun night of spooky San Diego history

Published on Nov, 2024

You cover a lot of ground in this tour! We started at America’s most haunted house, and also got to go inside two other gorgeous, very old and very haunted homes, a haunted hotel, and ended in a graveyard. Pete kept things moving well, was super knowledgeable and interesting, and kept it light with his entertaining old west demeanor. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary that night and had a great time!

Fabulous

Not scary! But it was great look into history of the the Gaslamp district. Scope out parking garages ahead of time. Circled around a few too many times.

A Must Do in San Diego!

Published on Jul, 2024

What a great way to learn about the history and spooky side of San Diego! Dante, our guide was awesome! He helped create an experience that everyone who travels to San Diego should take the time to experience! There was a lot of history, true crime & some eerie stories along the way!
