San Francisco Ghost Hunt featuring Christian Cagigal returns to Pacific Heights through October 31
Plus a new VIP close-up magic experience—The 13—on October 29, 30, and 31 only
San Francisco’s #1 Ghost Tour--the San Francisco Ghost Hunt—returns up close and in- person just in time for the Halloween Holiday season. This decades-old tradition combines San Francisco’s rich haunted history with storytelling, insider gossip, and a magic twist. Thrill to the tales of murder, mystery, and the ghost bride of California Street, while getting a fascinating overview of the families and individuals who made San Francisco what it was— and the restless spirits they left behind.
This year we’re excited to announce a new VIP component of the tour for three nights only.
Get a post-tour close-up magic show and complimentary drink at the legendary (and haunted!) Majestic Hotel with your ghost host Christian Cagigal. Cagigal is not only San Francisco’s favorite purveyor of local lore, he’s an award winning magician who spends half his time in New York City performing at the famed McKittrick Hotel, (home of the renowned immersive theatre experience Sleep No More). This is a rare chance to see one of San Francisco's (and New York City's) best kept secrets! This VIP experience is limited to just 13 guests each evening, and only available October 29, 30, and 31 (21+). Tickets are $100 each and include the full Ghost Hunt Tour prior to the The 13 at the Majestic Hotel.
We’d like to invite any of our media contacts to come on any tour (except Halloween Week October 25-31), free of charge. Please contact sfghosthuntpress@gmail.com for reservations or for additional information regarding the tour’s origin, featured sites, or owner-operator Christian Cagigal.
Our current COVID-19 protocols are as follows: If you are not fully vaccinated, please wear a mask. If you are fully vaccinated, you are not required to wear a mask. We invite everyone to wear masks and exchange elbow taps regardless of vaccination status. Any guests disputing the use of masks during the tour will have their full party removed from the tour with no refund.
We’re looking forward to having you join us! San Francisco Ghost Hunt

About San Francisco Ghost Hunt
The San Francisco Ghost Hunt—the city's first ghost tour, founded by Jim Fassbinder in 1998—is a guided, lantern-lit stroll through Pacific Heights, one of the few neighborhoods to survive the great earthquake and fire of 1906. A fascinating overview of some of San Francisco’s most scandalous and overlooked histories, the 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.
