An SF ghost tour with history and spooks

The result was the San Francisco Ghost Hunt, a 90-minute evening-based walk from Japantown to Pacific Heights that combines local history with staged effects to highlight the literal and figurative spirits of the city. It covers deceased figures like Mary Ellen Pleasant and Gertrude Atherton, as well as the historic Majestic Hotel, where the tour usually ends. Some of this year's October tours conclude with a walkthrough of the Majestic's infamous Room 407, purported home of the specter "Lady Lisa".
