About Us
Rooted in Old Town. Haunted by History. Obsessed with Story.
We’re not part of a national chain, and we wouldn’t haunt anywhere else. This is our town. These are our ghosts. Every cobblestone and corner has a story — and we’re here to tell it.
Haunting San Diego, One Story at a Time
We’re a small crew of local San Diegans with a passion for the past — especially the parts most people try to forget. No scripts. No suits. Just authentic voices sharing the city’s darker side with theatrical flair.
We’re proud to be called San Diego’s best ghost tour — and even prouder to earn it.
Training a guide? That takes months. Why? Because good ghost stories deserve great storytellers. And in our world, delivery is everything.
Old Town San Diego — A Beautiful Place to Live… An Even Better Place to Haunt.
San Diego is often called “The Most Haunted City in the West” — and here in Old Town, the past never rests easy.
At Haunted Old Town Ghost Tours, we’ve been guiding curious souls through San Diego’s shadows since 2006. We’re not a franchise. We’re not a chain. We are locals — storytellers, historians, and lifelong lovers of this city’s haunted history.
We are a small, independent San Diego business — locally owned, locally operated, and deeply connected to the streets we walk.
Unlike the bigger ghost tour groups that shuffle 50 or more through the night, we keep our tours intimate — aiming for groups around 20 to keep the energy lively and the connection personal. After all, a ghost story should be told face-to-face… not shouted through a megaphone.
We’ve been called “San Diego’s Best Ghost Tour” — and the spirits (and our guests) seem to agree. With hundreds of glowing reviews on Google, Yelp, Facebook, and TripAdvisor, we’re proud to be one of the city’s highest-rated haunted experiences.
No costumes. No cheap scares. Just real haunted history told with theatrical flair — in the birthplace of California.
Gather your courage. Bring your bravest friends. And reserve your place among the living… and perhaps the not-so-living.
Book now — before the spirits claim your spot…
Ready to peel back the veil and see what truly lurks beneath?
Old Town holds its secrets well… until we come along.
We’re known (some might say notoriously) for our unsettling stories, deeply-researched history, and just the right amount of sarcastic, slightly cheesy humor. Think Ash from The Evil Dead or an 80’s action hero — with a lantern in one hand and a sharp one-liner in the other.
This isn’t a haunted house. There are no costumed monsters waiting to jump from the shadows. But don’t get too comfortable… Old Town has a way of unsettling even the bravest.
We call it spooky. Atmospheric. A little creepy. But never terrifying.
If you’re searching for screaming scare zones and over-the-top horror effects — this may not be your tour. But if you love ghost stories wrapped in real history, a dash of dark humor, and walking the very streets where legends refuse to die…
Well — we’ve been dying to meet you.
