The Sutter Building in San Francisco, a striking office structure adorned with elaborate Neo-Mayan carvings, was erected in 1929 as a medical building and once earned the nickname “The Temple of Doom.” Despite its architectural grandeur, the building is notorious for reports of dark, unsettling presences, with visitors and staff alike feeling an eerie and oppressive atmosphere that lingers within its walls.

On California Street, the legend of the Wandering Bride haunts the area with a tragic tale. This ghostly bride is said to roam the streets in her wedding gown searching for her lost groom and leaving behind a chilling presence that still unsettles those who encounter her spectral form.

The Fairmont Hotel, a historic and esteemed landmark in San Francisco’s prestigious Nob Hill neighborhood, is celebrated for its elegance and exceptional service. However, after the devastating 1906 earthquake, the hotel gained a reputation for being cursed, with numerous accidents and reported apparitions adding a haunting dimension to its storied past.

Though a men’s-only secret society holds meetings behind closed doors in this old mansion, they can’t keep out the ghost of the original owner. Hear the testimony of a custodian who shared his insider information.

Huntington Park in San Francisco, once the site of the grand Huntington Mansion owned by the renowned Collis P. Huntington, now offers a different kind of intrigue.

The Sir Francis Drake Hotel, an opulent landmark built in 1928, has long been a symbol of historic grandeur in San Francisco.
