looks like a crack house...where crack heads chill and get high

who would actually believe that was real. typical human imagination of what a ghost would look like.

Doesn't San Jose have that big @$$ haunted Mansion with a crazy build?

(from website) Santa Ana - Euclid corner Harzard - Popular to all of people around that area with a haunted house that has been torn off (99 out of 100 people in the city know about this area). This place has a lot of different stories, someone said this place used to be a coffee shop, some gangs came and shot each others made alot of people death and became haunted. Others said that the place used to be Indian cemetery so there are spirits appeared during the night and kicked people who lived there out.

(extra) This is the most notorious haunted house in west orange county... maybe all of orange county. Anyone who moved in would mysteriously die. It got so bad that the city had to fence it off. The old house was demolished a few years ago and a new house has been built in it's place. Construction has finished last year but to this date, no one has moved in. This is very strange in orange county for someone not to move into a newly constructed house since land is so scarce and all the jobs are here in orange county. The house next door had an occupant almost immediately, but everyone knows the story about the corner house. I use to work right next to there and a coworker told me some construction worker died there when rebuilding that house. The house is located on the south west corner of euclid and hazard in santa ana.

San Francisco - Abandoned Army Hospital - Many soldiers died and their ghosts still haunt this hospital in Park Presidio. It is fenced off, but you can find ways either under the fence or over it. Many windows have been boarded up but a basement door towards the back of the building is open. Also, many windows are busted out and it is musty, graffiti-filled, and very spooky. You can hear footsteps, see reflections of light, and sometimes a cold draft. Even S.F.P.D. will not enter. - The police patrol the area and it is VERY possible you will get arrested or ticketed.

d in that room.

San Francisco - Alcatraz - Voices in the former eating area as well as the cell blocks are heard when no one else is around. Footsteps and the sounds of cell doors opening and closing also echo throughout the corridors. People have reported feeling "cold spots" in certain areas and the feeling that they are not alone, even when they are.

(Apparently my sister got a spooky feeling about it when she went on a classtrip there)

San Francisco - Alcatraz – Dinning Hall - Cold spots felt.

San Francisco - Bay Bridge - While driving on the lower deck at night towards Oakland direction, drivers would hear knocking on the windows. Some saying that they saw a headless man running next to their cars at the same speed of the cars. He was believed to be the victim of the 1989 earthquake.

(I don't know... Never happened...)

San Francisco - Cameron House - Located on Sacramento St. in Chinatown, San Francisco. Once owned by Lady Cameron, the basement of the house was a refuge for Chinese immigrant from lives of prostitution and slavery, among the obvious discrimination and hell that was once Chinatown. She sealed the doors in the basement to protect the immigrants from inspections by the police. If she can't open the doors, they can't inspect and then arrest and possibly kill the rooms of people. However, the people were able to come in and out through a secret passageway. Apparently, rumors spread about her philanthropy and some people came and burned down the house. Everyone in the rooms died. Now, the restored Cameron House (turned church) sends chills up spines. The basement doors are still sealed, but every door contains a red charm and a gold charm to seal in the spirits, as well. Furthermore, the pipes that run along the ceiling run to the end of the hall forming an "X" over a door with the script: "do not enter." Photographs taken in the house have shown white figures in the background. Supposedly, these photos are nonchalantly mingled in with normal ones and kept in photo albums at the site. This possibly happened around the 1930's or so. It might be the late 1800's or the early 1900s. Most likely early 1900's.

San Francisco - Child Support Services - In the place, is a woman around 20-30 walking around, moving things. People always mistake her for a woman working there. She's always walking around after closing time, and when the janitors are trying to clean, she's always getting in front of the vacuum. She doesn't bother people, but she REALLY scares them and always misplaces workers badges and keys.

San Francisco - Corpus Christi Elementary School Part 2 - The back room in the Parish Hall. Some say they have seen ghosts walking around and playing in the room. There are pianos in the room, and some people claim to hear the pianos playing classical music. They say that people were murdered in the room and those spirits are the ones haunting the living.

San Francisco - CCS Elementary School - There is an urban legend of an elderly church-going woman who was murdered by being pushed from a steep staircase, and whose body was later disposed of in the nearby dumpster. It is said that when young girls use the bathroom near the staircase, you can hear her praying. Hail Mary...

San Francisco - Golden Gate Park - There's a police officer ghost that roams Golden Gate Park. People will get pulled over and get speeding tickets by this guy, but when they go to file it through the courts they'll find out that the officer listed doesn't exist. He's been dead for 10 years. Anyway, the story goes that if a cop in the park is trailing you, you need to go outside of the park first before you pull over. And once you do, the ghost cop will disappear.

San Francisco - Haskell House - ghost of Senator Broderick pacing back and forth.

San Francisco - James Denman Middle School - teachers & students have reported to see a dead girl walking up the stairs and haunts the 2nd floor girls bathroom she closes the door to the stalls and flushes the toilet....they say her name is Elizabeth. people also hear someone moving chains on the 3rd floor

San Francisco - Martin Luther King Middle School - The place in the school that is haunted is the boys restroom on the second floor by a boy named Johnny. The story is that he was a bad kid that loved to pick on students until one day he asked to go to the bathroom and when he didn't come back they sent someone up there to look. He wasn't there. It is said that if you are alone in the hall you can hear a knocking on the bathroom door. The teachers keep the bathroom door locked. and no one is allowed to go in.

San Francisco - Neptune Society Columbarium - Located at One Loraine Court, San Francisco. Originally part of the Odd Fellows Cemetery, the Columbarium still stands over Geary Boulevard near Stanyan Street. This repository of the dead is not only wonderful eye candy, but has been a place of ghostly sightings as well. One encounter included a visitor having felt a hand on her back. When the woman turned around, no one was there. But a eerie white handprint remained on her blouse. Now a registered city landmark, the Columbarium is open to the public. Donations are encouraged.

San Francisco - Ocean Beach Sutro Bath - The sutro baths have quite a history behind them, as well as the tunnel that lies directly to the right of the old sunken building. It has been said that many people have been sacrificed at the end of this tunnel, and if you go at night fall and light a candle at the end of the tunnel someone will come and pick it up and throw it into the water that rushes up just beyond the rocks.

San Francisco - Orchard Supply Hardware - There is a story of girl being murdered and raped in the warehouse area of the store 1 yr before it became Orchard. Employees have seen a figure walking and she is heard footsteps that seem to be the sound of high heels (No one wears high heels), screaming and laughing, as well as boxes moving. She likes to blow in men's ears and girls with long hair often feel a slight tug. One report of a worker that had just shrunk wrapped a pallet. The power went out and there is a 5 sec delay for the generator to kick on in that 5 sec something completely unwrapped the pallet.

San Francisco - Paso Robles Hotel - A 911 Operator got a call from Room 1007 in this hotel. When police investigated and found the room empty, the manager thought the call might have come from the ghost that haunts the room. The spirit is believed to be deceased night clerk who died when the former hotel on the site burned down on December 19, 1940. The current hotel was built with bricks from that hotel. Several of the hotel employees report getting calls from Room 1007 at the front desk, but when they investigate, the room is always empty.

San Francisco - Queen Anne Hotel - Located at the corner of Sutter And Octavia, the Queen Anne Hotel is an elegant Victorian style hotel, which dates back to the 1890's. With free access to all of the floors and some of the rooms, it's a great place to perform an investigation. If you want you can spend a night or so in Miss Mary Lakes Room. Before the hotel even was a hotel, it was a school for girls since few girls had access to schools back then. Miss Mary Lake was the teacher. She was dedicated to her work. But when the school was closed down she was heart broken and as she eventually died. Her spirit remained. Room 410 top floor is where you can find her room.

San Francisco - Safeway - Located in the middle of San Francisco, SAFEWAY between 17th avenue and Taraval. There were recent sightings by employees that a young boy was sighted in the empty hallways leading to the storage room. The time was around 12:00 am closing time. The employees, even a customer, saw a young male at the age around 7-10 walking slowly towards them, but from a distance. One of the employees claimed to see the young spirit sitting beside some crates with his head down, and his arms covering his knees. The customer simply believed that he saw someone standing on the corner at the end of the hallway facing against the wall. He wanted to use the nearby restroom before he saw the figure. All visions of his spirit were blurry because they said that there was lack of lighting inside the location. Rumors are that the building was once a motel in the mid 1900s until it was burnt down because the owner had money problems with local gang members; however, the presence of the young boy is still a mystery.

(SAFEWAY? For real?)

San Francisco - San Francisco Arts Institute - Supposedly built on a cemetery in the early 1900 after an earthquake, it is haunted by a few restless spirits.

San Francisco - San Remo Hotel - The Hotel was reportedly a brothel owned by a Madame. She reportedly haunts room 33. She has been known to knock on doors of the hallway the room is in, and when people open the doors after repeated knocks, no one is around. There is also reports of a little girl roaming the hallways and trying to get into room #42. It is actually an amazing hotel, and a great place to stay in with large groups of people (cheap too). There are always cold spots to be felt, and the sense of someone watching, it's a calming feeling, not creepy at all!

San Francisco - School of the Arts High School - former site of MacAteer H.S. - singing can be heard in the 3rd floor bathroom when no one is around. also on the 3rd floor, knocking on the lockers and from inside locked classrooms can be heard.

(People told me that they were no windows, and yet they look like they do have windows... Had to go there to get a job permit and my official transcripts.)

San Francisco - Strawberry Hill - Stowe Lake Golden Gate Park - It has been said that in the 1920's or 30's a woman became pregnant & hide the pregnancy from her family.

San Francisco - USCF Medical Center - Intensive Care Nursery haunted by women that have died in childbirth. Many children haunt Pediatric. 8th floor was so bad it had to be exorcised.

(Never heard about this... I volunteer across the street in the medical records department...)

San Francisco - Washington High School - It has been said that the boy's 3rd floor restroom, is haunted. At night, or at later hours after school (when not as many people are around), people have reported seeing a figure standing by one of the stalls then vanish.

(My middle school and high school didn't even make the list. Lincoln and Washington, the most popular crowded schools.)

Listening to the audiotapes from Alcaraz was


Is the School of Arts HighSchool is the one on Geary street?

SOTA (formerly McAteer) is located near Laguna Honda Hospital...

The only school I know that's located near Geary is the one I went to, Wallenberg, which is near USF...

Washington high school is also on Geary, near 28th(?) avenue i think
yea.. too many people at both Lincoln and Wash
Wallenburg is such a small school!

Yeah, about 600 students... The good thing? Less competition for scholarships. At the larger schools, you'll probably have to knock each other out for the scholarships...

Wallenberg is about a block away from Geary... It's located near Masonic, near the Blood Center (Donating blood is easy)...

I have yet to check out the teacher's parking lot in the back for a sign of a tombstone...

Are you in some kind of college in SF, Siu Wai?

No... I'm in LA for college... My family is in SF. My oldest sister attends San Francisco State University. My other sister attends Lowell High School, and the youngest goes to Philip & Sala Burton High School.

Maybe I should check out the the ghost attractions out here in LA... If I have the money...

Goldenwest park?

Arcadia - Santa Anita Mall (Westfield Shopping Mall) - The KB toy store inside the Santa Anita Mall is said by employees to be haunted by a little boy in early 1930s clothing. An employee was closing the store at night when they spotted a little boy in knickers in one of the aisles playing with one of the toys. The employee was shocked and thought he was left behind by a parent and when she approached the little boy to ask him where his parents were he appeared to be transparent and disappeared the closer she got. Another sighting of the little boy was again after hours when two male employees of the mall were inside Macy's and happened to spot a little boy standing with his back to them by the escalator to go down as though in awe of the escalator. When they started to walk up to him to tap him on the back the little boy ran down the escalator without actually having touched the steps and vanished once at the bottom.

I've seen this boy before

Actually I'm not joking.

ghosts are real trust me i have seen them all the fu-king time

i used not believe in them
