Great Question! We have been in business since 2004. We ARE the original hands on ghost hunting tools tour of San Francisco. We've been taking people ghost hunting in the Haight-Ashbury with real paranormal equipment for almost two decades.  In fact, we showed those other ghost tours how to use ghost hunting equipment. They came on our tour to learn about ghost hunting. 100% FACT. Those other so called "only real ghost tours" just don't have the paranormal knowledge, credentials or access to the high tech REAL ghost gear (that you see on TV) like us. Why? Because we have been on those TV shows. We are real paranormal investigators operating an actual paranormal organization. It dissapoints us that they make such claims. We are the only Ghost Hunting Excursion Tour that is operated by real paranormal investigators that have been on those TV shows!  We certianly like folks to try all the ghost tours in San Francisco, however we do not like to tolerate false claims and hype because that just hurts the paranormal research field. Remember, we are actual paranormal investigators who research the paranormal full time. We are not a tour company doing all kinds of tours. We ONLY do paranormal ghost hunting tours. We pride ourselves on our integrity and experience.
