Haunted Places to See in San Diego

Although San Diego boasts lovely beaches and bright weather, its rich, ghostly past draws thrill-seekers and ghost hunters both. Whether you live in San Diego or are just visiting, investigating haunted places can be the perfect spooky experience for the Halloween season.

The Whaley House The Whaley House in Old Town is maybe the most well-known ghostly location in San Diego. People have long regarded the Whaley House in Old Town as among the most haunted homes in America since its construction in 1857. Staff members and visitors have claimed to see apparitions of prior occupants, including the house's creator Thomas Whaley. Perfect for anyone seeking a Halloween thrill, ghost tours of the Whaley House offer a spooky window into San Diego's past.

Hotel del Coronado Apart from its incredible ocean views, the legendary Hotel del Coronado is well-known for the ghost of Kate Morgan, a young woman who checked in to the hotel in 1892 but died before checking out. Both staff members and guests have claimed to see the effects of Kate's lingering spirit all over the property, especially in her hotel room. Hotel del Coronado even offers ghost tours, so you can see if you have your own spectral encounter.

The Horton Grand Hotel The Horton Grand Hotel is a beautiful Victorian gem in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter that also has plenty of spooky history. Ghost hunters often visit the hotel in search of the spirit of Roger Whitaker, a gambler who died in his hotel room and is rumored to haunt the Horton Grand Hotel ever since. The elegant architecture of this hotel serves as a beautiful backdrop to any hauntings.

El Campo Santo Cemetery The story of El Campo Santo Cemetery starts in 1849. Almost 500 people were buried here before the cemetery was abandoned. When a streetcar line was built through the cemetery, many of the grave markers were removed. This may be the cause of the hauntings that are still reported to this day. Visitors to Old Town describe sightings of ghostly figures and strange disturbances late at night.

The Star of India Another haunting treasure is the old sailing ship The Star of India , which is parked at the San Diego Maritime Museum. The ship boasts a lengthy and legendary heritage, and several crew members perished throughout the years. Visitors of the ship today claim to experience ghostly presences and unusual sounds. For everyone fascinated in both ghost stories and maritime history, this is absolutely a must-see.
