Experience the dark side of sunny San Diego! Get your thrills and chills touring these old and haunted places for things that go BUMP in the night!

The Whaley House - Often called the most haunted house in the US, it was built right over a site for public hangings. Pots and pans rattle, curtains billow on sealed shut windows, and plenty of ghostly sightings, even Mr. Whaley himself, make this a "must see" for the intrepid ghost hunter.

El Campo Santo Cemetery - Grab a free brochure at the office for a little history of the place, then venture insideif you dare! Go ahead, take some pictures of the scenic little cemetery, the final resting place of almost 500 nineteenth century residents. But be prepared for an unexplained figure or orb to pop up in your picture!

Robinson-Rose House - A replica of a home from 1853 (and built right on top of the foundation) has received many reports of an old man in a suit peering out of a second story window. The elevator moves on its own, women report hair pullings, and many have seen misty figures.

El Fandango Mexican Restaurant - Built over the site where a mansion burned to the ground in 1858, keep on the lookout for the woman in white. This vapory, Victorian garbed figure wanders in and out walls, preferring to sit in a gloomy, darkened corner near the front window.

La Casa de Estudillo - The master bedroom and chapel are considered the most haunted areas. The Staff have seen faces in all the mirrors, as well as a monk gliding from room to room, and red flashes of light.

Horton Grand Hotel - Built in the old Red Light District and frequented by Wyatt Earp, this hotel holds an unexplained mystery in room 309. Unwitting guests awaken to their bed shaking, some have seen the figure of a man, while others have heard the sounds of a card game from inside the empty room.

Star Of India - Crafted in 1863, this beauty of a sailing ship has it's fair share of maritime disasters. Visit for ghostly phenomena such as cold spots, physical contact, and the heavenly scent of freshly baked breadthough the kitchen galley hasn't been used in decades.

Villa Montezuma Mansion - "The Home of Spooks" original owner engaged in numerous sances. Many wonder if something dark found its way to our world. A foreboding presence and unexplained happenings are commonplace.

William Heath Davis House - A Victorian dressed lady hovers around the upper landing in this 1850 built home. Cold spots as well as a nighttime rearranging of carefully placed museum pieces frequently occur.

Julian Hotel - Opened in 1871, guests often remark on the smell of pipe smoke as well as the sighting of previous owner Albert Robinson who passed away back in 1915!

Don't miss these fine examples of ghostly phenomenon! Plan ahead and get ready for the scare of a lifetime!
