Alright, let’s start with the neighborhood you’re already staying in—Nob Hill! This area is super charming, but trust us, it has some serious ghostly vibes.

3. The Presidio: History and Haunting in the Heart of the Park

The Presidio is one of San Francisco’s most beautiful parks, but it’s also home to some seriously creepy paranormal activity. The area was once a military base, and with that kind of history, it’s no surprise that spirits might still be hanging around.

People have reported hearing eerie whispers and seeing shadowy figures wandering through the fog. If you want to see if the spirits are real, the Presidio’s haunted history is just waiting to be uncovered!

Last but not least, let’s talk about the Mission San Francisco de Asís, or as locals call it, Mission Dolores. This spot is not only beautiful but has a long history that dates back to the late 1700s. Naturally, with centuries of history, there are a ton of stories about ghosts, including a spirit that’s said to haunt the mission’s cemetery.
