"She's a familiar face to anybody who's watched " The Haunted Bay," a show she created that ran for three seasons on Amazon Prime in 2020. In the series, Liu and her team of paranormal investigators run around the Bay hunting ghosts: They found one (and showed its face on camera) at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco, and have spectrally spelunked at the USS Hornet aircraft carrier in Alameda and Oakland's historic gay bar, the White Horse Inn."
"The Berkeley tours are something that Liu is offering personally this year to fans of intimate, historically based trauma tours. (She also does one in San Francisco.) She's like a journalist in her methods. She digs through newspaper archives to uncover stories of death and destruction, and also interviews locals - tenants, security guards, janitors - to give her the scoop, and even access to, haunted places. The tour's motto is: "True ghost stories. Evidence. Scares!""
Ying Liu conducts intimate paranormal tours at UC Berkeley and San Francisco that combine historical research with hands-on ghost hunting. She uses EMF meters and archival newspaper digging, and interviews locals like tenants and janitors to locate sites tied to death and trauma. Liu previously created the Amazon Prime series The Haunted Bay, where her team documented ghosts at locations including the Warfield Theater, USS Hornet and the White Horse Inn. Tours cover a 1.7-mile route through old campus buildings and neighborhoods, include liability waivers, and build toward a deliberately grisly midpoint. The tours emphasize true stories, purported evidence and intentional scares.
