What to expect
GARAGE Kitchen + Bar
The Carriage Works in San Diego, now the bustling Garage Kitchen + Bar, was once a hub for selling and repairing carriages, horses, and later, horseless carriages. Following a tragic event that occurred here, the site has gained a reputation for paranormal activity, with reports of ghostly occurrences adding an eerie undertone to its lively present-day atmosphere.
Horton Grand Hotel
The Horton Grand Hotel, one of San Diego’s oldest and most storied hotels, was originally commissioned in 1886 and stands as a testament to the city’s rich history. Its venerable age has given rise to numerous ghostly tales, with visitors reporting eerie apparitions, flickering lights, and other unsettling phenomena that add a haunting dimension to its historic charm.
Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House Museum
The William Heath Davis House, the oldest building in San Diego, is notorious for its reputation as the most haunted residence in the Gaslamp Quarter. With a history that includes serving as a makeshift hospital, office quarters, and a hiding spot for a German spy during World War II, the building's past is rife with unsettling events, leading to numerous reports of ghostly hauntings and eerie phenomena.
516 Fifth Ave
The Yamada Building, constructed in 1869 during San Diego's transcontinental boom, has a rich history marked by its succession of Asian-descended owners, including Frank Yamada, who ran a popular billiard hall known as Frank's Place in the 1950s. Though steeped in cultural significance, the building is also shrouded in mystery, with tales of lingering spirits and unexplained occurrences that hint at a haunted legacy.
Prohibition Lounge
The Prohibition Lounge in San Diego, a bar themed like a 1920s speakeasy, carries a chilling past as its basement location once served as the city’s morgue. Today, this atmospheric venue is known for more than just its craft cocktails, with rumors of strange occurrences and eerie happenings that add an unsettling layer to its already mysterious ambiance.
664 Fifth Ave
Old City Hall in San Diego, originally built as a bank in the stunning Florentine Italianate style, had its ornate facade tragically dismantled and covered in stucco during the 1950s to achieve a more modern look. Fortunately, in the 1980s, investors restored its original grandeur, but the building's past is still whispered about in tales of lingering spirits and mysterious happenings within its historic walls.
Yuma Building
The Yuma Building, a distinctive and versatile structure in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, has transitioned through various roles including office space, hotel, and now features a commercial first floor with luxury private residences above. Its intriguing history is shadowed by paranormal reports, with the ghostly presence of "The Captain" and a woman driven to madness said to haunt its storied halls.
Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop
The Old Casino Theater, which opened in 1913 and now houses the Ghirardelli Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop, once had a tumultuous history as an adult store until the early 1970s. The building's dark past includes a tragic fire that claimed the life of a trapped projectionist, and today, it is known for its ghostly hauntings, with eerie encounters reported by those who visit this site of past violence and despair.
