Horton Grand Hotel

Famous for room 309 and room 209, which are both active. One of the ghosts may be someone you have already heard of, an infamous gunslinger, can you guess who that might be? Visitors still experience mysterious cold chills, footsteps, and glowing orbs. Though the rooms are booked consistently preventing us from entering we will take you as close as we can. You'll hear the stories of those rooms and more in the lobby and bar area. You'll also have access to our videos of the rooms themselves. Perhaps after, you'll be moved to book these rooms yourself.

Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House

This is the house where people would come to die as it was a hospital of sorts with a dramatic history. Our guests have experienced being pushed around the house with a hand on their back when there is no one behind them and catching mysterious shapes on camera.
