This Ghost Hunter Brings You Up-Close and Personal with the Paranormal.
Celebrating 27 Years of San Francisco’s Most Spine Tingling Tales on Christian Cagigal’s San Francisco Ghost Hunt
Embark on a chilling adventure through the foggy streets of San Francisco with your guide, master magician and raconteur, Christian Cagigal. With three decades of experience, Christian weaves a web of history, mystery, and macabre tales from the city's dark past.
As you stroll among San Francisco’s historic haunted mansions, each stop becomes a portal to another realm, where the paranormal comes to life before your eyes, leaving you wondering, “Is it just a story or is there something more…?”
The tour ends at the legendary Hotel Majestic, survivor of the 1906 Earthquake and the longest continuously running hotel in San Francisco.
On select nights*, the Hotel Majestic will grant Cagigal and his guests access to Room 407 reportedly to be haunted by the ghost of Lady Lisa. This is a rare chance to get up-close and personal with the hotel’s longest resident. While Cagigal cannot promise that Lisa will appear, with his skills as a storyteller and magician he does promise spooky fun will occur…
*At the discretion of the hotel.
Members of the Press are invited to bring a guest on any available night in October: 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 21-26, 28-31. Please email [email protected]
What they’re saying!

“Even you sticklers for empiricism will be bowled over by the spooky panache and storytelling prowess of Christian Cagigal, host of San Francisco Ghost Hunt.” –Lily Janiak, San Francisco Chronicle

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.
About Christian Cagigal
The U.S.-born son of Salvadoran and Spanish immigrants, Christian Cagigal splits his time between New York City and San Francisco. He’s a magician at Speakeasy Magick in New York City, co-Producer for Odd Salon NYC, and owner of the San Francisco Ghost Hunt. He’s been a finalist for the Theatre Bay Area Award for Best Solo Performer, the recipient of a Mastermind Award by the SF Weekly, and five-time winner of the Best Magician of the Bay by the San Francisco Bay Guardian.
His previous shows (all originally produced by EXIT Theatre) include the Pandora Experiment, Obscura, The Collection, and Now and at the Hour which has been seen in New York, Montréal, Chicago, New Orleans, Minneapolis, and San Francisco. More recently, Christian was the Associate Illusion Designer for the Obie Award winning, Pulitzer Prize-winning, and Tony-nominated Fat Ham, written by James Ijames, and performed at The Public Theater in 2022, on Broadway at the American Airlines Theater (now Todd Haimes Theatre) in 2023, Geffen Playhouse and Old Globe-San Diego in 2024, and Royal Shakespeare Company in 2025.
