This is not a “ghost tour” that just tells stories of hauntings. This is an immersive, hands-on paranormal investigation tour, where you’ll hunt for real ghosts in known haunted places. With a paranormal expert, learn the fundamentals of true ghost hunting, and get a chance to use authentic ghost hunting tools.
This is the only way to access the haunted San Remo Hotel as a non-guest. We’ll also visit the Fior d’ Italia restaurant, a haunted bell-tower atop an old graveyard, and a parking garage reconstructed from the rubble of the Earthquake of 1906.
Please note that this paranormal tour includes a few steep San Francisco hills and staircases, and we consider it “moderately strenuous.” Unfortunately, this tour is not handicap accessible, and cannot accommodate pets.
Learn How to Be a Ghost Hunter
We’ll use real ghost hunting equipment including:
- EMF Ghost Meters
- Infrared Temperature Detectors
- Dowsing Rods
- Hausbell Bionic Listening Devices
- SBox Spirit Scanner for Electronic Voice Phenomena
At the end of your adventure, walk away with the knowledge of what it is to be a real ghost hunter.
