OK, this was a fun way to see San Francisco after dark. The “mostly” true stories on the undead in San Francisco’s history make the rest of the stay more enjoyable, especially since we stayed in the nearby “haunted” Mark Hopkins Hotel.
Along with the Mark Hopkins we spent two hours visiting Grace Cathedral, Nob Hill Cafe, Huntington Park, Pacific-Union Club and the Fairmont Hotel.
It can get pretty cool at night in San Francisco, so bundle up against the chills – real and imagined.

Hotel del Coronado
One of the largest wooden buildings in the United States, the Hotel del Coronado (The Del) was built in 1888.
Before 1900, two tragic women had separately committed suicide, each taking with them the life of an unborn child. Their ghosts remain in two rooms.
The ghosts of a little boy and girl have also been reported, as well as a hotel caretaker walking the dining room and a Victorian lady gliding across a dance floor.

Horton Grand Hotel
Two Victorian hotels, the Grand and the Kale Saddlery were lovingly reconstructed onthe former site of Ida Bailey’s “cat house” in the heart of the Gaslamp’s historic red light district.
At the time, a favorite haunt of Wyatt Earp, the hotel is now the haunting grounds of the ghost of a mid-1800′s gambler by the name of Roger A. Whittaker.

San Diego’s Star of India sailing ship is one of the oldest iron-hull sailing ships still afloat . A dedicated crew of volunteers take care of the ship and even sail it out into San Diego Bay and beyond to the Pacific Ocean off the California coast.
Built in 1863, this ship has been in nearly every seaport in the world. Many, many sailors served on her, but not all walked off under their own power. More than a few died on the Star of India, their bodies sent to the bottom of the ocean. Some poor souls however were killed so suddenly and so violently that their spirits still haunt the ship.
See more photos of the ship and learn more about the spirits that never left the Star of India.
Explore an interactive map to the Maritime Museum Association of San Diego, keepers of the Star of India, and see where the closest hotel is located.
There are many more things to see and do along San Diego Bay.
Capuchin Bone Chapel
When in Rome, do as the Romans? Touring the city’s subterranean burial chambers is something often done by locals, but is almost unheard of with tourists. So be the first one on your block to have gone “catacombing”.
The Capuchin Crypt chapel walls are completely covered on the inside with human bones. It is only creepy if you stop to think what you are seeing – and standing next to!
Some of the catacombs like the Domitilla Catacombs no longer have bodies on display to the public, but you can sure get the feeling what it must have been like. Bodies were not so much buried here as they were set into shallow holes in the walls, far underground, in the dark. Thank goodness for electric lights. (no cameras though, in any of these places.)
There is a 3-hour tour that starts daily around 2:30 from the Piazza Barberini. – Map - This one is close to a metro stop.
