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. Other tours have copied our materials and investigations. In fact General (mis)Manager, Dara Milhaly from ExperienceFirst Tours came on and STOLE our information and started a tour for double the money and tells our research incorrectly. Don't be fooled by ExperienceFirst or other FAKE TOURS. 

Yes! We talk about the macabre history of the area and even let you visit infamous denizens places who once call the Haight-Ashbury home.

The ghost stories you hear are original copyrighted researched tales of real paranormal phenomena. Your tour guides worked closely with resources from the San Francisco Public Library’s History Center, City Hall and the Police Department records to create this tour. Residents also came forward with stories of their places being haunted and your guides has investigated them through The San Francsico Ghost Society. This is a real look at hauntings in the Haight. 

The tour is approximately 2 hours. There are no hills on this tour. 

There are other ghost hunting tours that tell you the same tales that every tour will.  We are the only ghost tour that has all original stories that are copyrighted by us because we have researched and investigated every story you hear on the tour. We are the only tour with real paranormal investigators that are well respected and known throughout the paranormal community. You don't hear these tales anywhere else.

Some people can find the stories frightening and macabre. This is not a “spook house” attraction where people are hidden throughout the walk to jump out and scare you.You will use professional grade ghost gear and the results can be a bit scary, 

Yes. We recommend bringing a jacket. The Haight-Ashbury is part of what is called the "fog belt" and evenings are usually pretty chilly.
