About
The Haunted Haight Walking Tour is the only Haunted San Francisco Ghost Hunting Excursion Tour that is owned and operated by a real paranormal investigator. We have the credentials to back up our claim too. We have all the REAL equipment that you see on the TV. Mind blowing high tech customized ghost gear. We taught the other tours how to ghost hunt! Our ghost gear is much more high tech and advanced then any of the other tours. We are truly experts in the paranormal. We have consulted and appeared on TOP TV Shows on the History Channel, Travel Channel, ABC NEWS and more! No other tour has these devices built by ghost hunters for ghost hunters. We taught other more expensive tours how to ghost hunt with basic gear. We do not use basic gear however. No unscientific silly dowsing rods and "false positive" handheld cheap EMF readers. These are tools that are used by real paranormal investigators. No other tour lets you feel like you are on the TV shows like our tour. We are a better value and NO HYPE or false statements. Come experience the haunt of a lifetime on your next San Francisco Ghost Hunting Excursion tour.

We did a private tour for my daughter's 13th birthday party this March. The walk was a modified one for teens that left out the serial killer houses, and it was such a hit with her and her friends! The right amount of scary. They loved the ghostly stories of the area but also getting hands on with the ghost detecting equipment themselves. Everyone got their own detector, so they didn't have to share, and they had so much fun seeing what signals they could pick up with their devices. It made it so much more than just a ghost walk. I am so glad we plumped for this. It was a unique birthday experience at a price that was manageable. That it was 2 hours long meant it didn't feel rushed and gave them time to have a real go with the equipment. The guide, Tommy, was great - incredibly knowledgeable, deeply committed to authenticity, and super responsive on email. There were also prizes which made it even more fun for them. We live in the Haight and this is a real gem that has been right under our noses for years! I would thoroughly recommend it, and particularly to parents who are looking for birthday ideas. My daughter is looking forward to going again now on the regular tour (she wants to see the serial killer houses).

I took 12 of my friends to this ghost hunting tour for my birthday this past October, and we had the BEST time! It was so cool using the EMF readers, talk box, and SLS camera to speak with the ghosts. And we loved learning about the ghostly history of all the places we visited. But I think my favorite part of the tour was talking with Tommy while walking from one location to the next. He is so knowledgeable about the paranormal, and it was fun bouncing off ideas with him. He definitely inspired me to get my own gear, and do my own ghost hunting! 10/10 great time for a great price, would highly recommend!

I went a few years ago when walking tours started picking up during covid, as there wasn't else much to do. It was so much fun! To this day, I still tell my friends who live in the area about which places and parks are haunted. The host is reputable, entertaining, we got fun prizes, and everyone had a great time learning about the local area with a spooky overlay. I did book a different ghost tour that was downtown with another company, and it was very generic and impersonal compared to this one. The hosts were possibly unemployed actors who kept forgetting their lines for the stories. HIGHLY recommend Haunted Haight as this guy knows his stuff and he has a passion for it, rather than feeling like a side gig. I booked the Pub Crawl version in a couple weeks, and can't wait to see what spooky tales live in the local bars.

This is an amazing walking tour. We did it last year, and enjoyed it so much we went again. Tommy is very professional and knowledgeable. He even had ghost hunting equipment for us to use. We can't wait to go again. I'd rate this tour 11 out of 10!

My daughter and I are frequent visitors to The City and were there on Halloween this year, so decided to take the tour. Tommy is a fantastic tour guide and we learned so much about the history of San Francisco as well as the interesting characters who have lived in this neighborhood. The prizes are a fun, extra added touch. We highly recommend taking this tour!

Whether you're trying to get your 'ghost hunter' on, or just looking for something fun and interesting to do, the Haunted Haights Walking Tour is totally worth it. Tommy, the creator of the tour, is friendly and knowledgeable; the time and effort he's put into developing the information he shares on the tour is evident. Lots of interesting stories and facts about SF ghost history will wet any ghost hunter's whistle, or even give a 'regular person' cool conversation topics to impress friends. We won't give any spoilers, but the tour consists of some pretty cool, ghostly landmarks. Tommy brings along a few ghost hunting tools that he actually lets the group use to try to contact 'the other side'. No matter the occasion: date night, family outing, birthday party, or just something totally random, the tour is a memorable option. We would rate the tour PG 13; the tour isn't too gory and shouldn't give anyone nightmares, but Tommy does discuss real life occurrences (murders, hauntings, etc.) that could scare younger kids, so use discretion when bringing the kiddos. The tour lasts about 2 hours, and Tommy has thought of everything. He has a bathroom stop along the route and he has even taken the effort to ensure the tour has virtually no hills! (Still, the tour may be a lot of walking for small children or for those with certain physical challenges). A great way to spend an evening in SF, we're glad we went! Great job, Tommy!

Informational, hauntedly intriguing, and amusing. Tommy our wonderful guide, presented historical facts about the city and the haight district as well as snip bits of bewildering stories of paranormal events. The tour was a good 2 hours which flew. Tommy took us walking about 16 blocks or 1.5 miles, no uphills. The night was nice but chilly, it would benefit you to wear comfortable and something warm if possible a warm costume. The walk began at the coffee shop and looped back around past the panhandle park and golden gate park back to the same street we began. Tommy took us to the old residency of some famous people and to spots of reported paranormal experiences. Raffle prizes were generously given out through out the walk. They just kept coming one after another from Tommy's small bag! He even managed to pack a portable projector to use as a visual at some parts of the tour! The group size was about 40 individuals. The group was a mix of locals and out of towners, all adults. It was a well humored and eager group, contributing factor probably is Tommys warm and funny personality. Thanks Tommy for a good time, you kept the mood fun and interesting. And if I ever need a good "plumber" I'll give you a ring! Cheers
