The Winchester Mystery House -San Jose, Ca
Not based on a true story… this IS THE TRUE STORY. The widow
of William Winchester (creator of the Winchester rifle) built up this house for
over 30 years in order to hide from the spirits of those who were killed by her
late husband’s invention. A psychic told her that if they find you… they will
kill you too. So she built hundreds of fake staircases and doors and rooms that
led nowhere, in order to confuse the spirits. The spirits still haunt the house
to this day. You can take a tour by flashlight, and gamble if you will ever
come out alive..
16th and Castro -Oakland, Ca
You may think that it is a regular neighborhood, by the
homes and trees that line the street. For over a century, residents have
reported numerous ghost sightings. From twirling under street lamps to doorbell
ditching to items missing and turning up in mysterious places… Mark this community
for trick or treating… if you dare!
Lone Tree Cemetery -Hayward, Ca
If you having been searching for a venue for your next séance..
This is it. The cemetery's founding legend holds that once upon a time, an
eloping couple's furious parents killed them on the spot where the cemetery now
stands. After nightfall, strange sounds and calls for help can be heard as
well as lights that shine in the distance, but come from nowhere.
1000 Lombard St. - San Francisco, Ca
Just because you didn’t get an invite, doesn’t mean you want
one.. This gorgeous house, located on one of the most iconic street, is
haunted. When social columnist Pat Montandon held a “zodiac themed” party at
her house in the 1960s, the tarot card reader she hired got angry when she
didn't give him a drink. He cursed the house with freezing spells, blood stains
on the ceilings, and disembodied screams. The house has a streak of vandalism
and robberies. Gusts have committed suicide and mysteriously killed. I would
cross the street before walking in front of this house, just to be safe.
The Vestry –San Francisco, Ca
It’s not the music giving you chills at this popular concert
hall. It’s the little girl who lives there.
The Chapel was built back in 1914 and was originally a mortuary.
Since being renovated into a music venue and adjoining restaurant, the noise is
obviously too loud for this girl to enjoy her final resting place. She has been
seen pulling pranks on visitors and has be captured on surveillance footage,
numerous times. You’ll definitely get a show to go along with your Halloween
dinner.
