About San Francisco Ghost Hunt
San Francisco Ghost Hunt—the city's first ghost tour—was co-founded in 1998 by Jim Fassbinder and Christian Cagigal. After a 17-year run, primary Ghost Hunter Fassbinder retired from the business, and Cagigal stepped in as the owner-operator. A true labor of love and a favorite homegrown attraction, San Francisco Ghost Hunt appeals to amateur historians, lovers of the magical and macabre, ghost tour enthusiasts, and flaneurs of all stripes. It’s suitable for participants of ten-years-old and up who can comfortably walk one mile in 90-120 minutes.
