These 13 Haunted Places In San Francisco Will Send Chills Down Your Spine

A city with such a wild and turbulent past is bound to house some restless spirits. Of course, they tend to lurk in the most iconic spots, too, from stately mansions to lavish hotels to renowned landmarks. If you truly want to get in touch with the city's deep, diverse, sometimes tragic history, well, here's your chance, with 13 haunted places in San Francisco.

1. Alcatraz

This one seems pretty obvious, right?

2. Queen Anne Hotel

The corner of Sutter and Octavia was once home to a school for girls in which Miss Mary Lake taught. She may be found lurking in her room, #410.

3. San Francisco Art Institute

Well, it was supposedly built on a cemetery, so, you know…

4. The Palace Hotel

President Warren G. Harding died here in 1923, and, though, it may not be him gliding through the hallways, there has certainly been plenty of paranormal activity reported at this luxurious accommodation.

A victim of the 1989 earthquake may come knocking on your window.

6. Cameron House

The spirits are literally sealed in the basement, which was once used as a refuge for Chinese immigrants.

9. Mansions Hotel

The original owner's daughter Claudia may answer if you ask her a "yes" or "no" question.

11. Neptune Society Columbarium

Go in at your own risk at this registered city landmark near Geary and Stanyan.

12. Hotel Union Square

Stay in room 207 if you'd like to meet 1920s playwright Lillian Hellman.
