San Diego Gaslamp Ghosts and True Crime Walking Tour

About this activity

Two tours built into one: explore San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter after dark through ghost sightings and true crime stories, from gambling dens and brothels to unsolved murders and haunted hotels.

With a small group, walk the old Stingaree, San Diego's red-light district, where gambling halls, brothels, and bought-off cops ran the show. Visit some of the most haunted places in San Diego, including Room 309 at the Horton Grand Hotel, the Balboa Theatre where unexplained movement is reported in the basement, and a block that was once the city morgue.

The night ends at the Davis-Horton House, downtown's oldest building and the county's first hospital, where visitors report symptoms of long-gone diseases. It's widely considered the most haunted building in the Gaslamp.

Perfect for history buffs, paranormal fans, true crime lovers, and anyone looking for a spooky date night in San Diego.
