How it works
Meet us on the edge of the Jackson Square Historic District -- a little-known Gold Rush-era neighborhood with eerie, well-preserved Victorian architecture. Your tour guide will outfit everyone with an EMF meter that you'll use throughout the paranormal investigation, and explain the types of hauntings and ghosts that we encounter in San Francisco.
From there we'll enter the old neighborhood, hearing about the forgotten graves and ships buried beneath us. Down quiet alleyways, we'll learn of the destruction of the Great Earthquake of 1906, and the residual hauntings that still plague the neighborhood. At any point, we might detect EMF activity, and we'll investigate further using tools such as dowsing rods and a Spirit Box.
In Chinatown, we'll learn of the tragedies that mark the neighborhood's past, including the true crimes whose energies still linger, from a mysterious death in a historic theatre, to the city's biggest massacre at the Golden Dragon. We'll end the investigation with a ceremony to honor whatever spirits joined us, with a ritual to ensure that nothing follows you home.
