Overview

Walk San Diego's famous Gaslamp Quarter and hear its real history learning about the crime, the scandal, and the ghost stories that outlived them.

You'll walk the old Stingaree with a group small group, through the blocks where gambling halls, brothels and bought-off cops ran the show. Then we get to who stayed behind: Room 309 at the Horton Grand, the visitors who contracted extinct diseases from the ghosts within the walls at the Davis-Horton House, the movement with the basement below the Balboa Theatre, and a block that used to be the city morgue.

This tour is for everyone and provides a true glimpse into what San Diego used to be like. We will eventually conclude your exciting nught at the oldest and most haunted building downtown.

  • Horton Plaza Park
    Horton Plaza Park, anchored by the 1910 Broadway Fountain, is the open public square at the gateway to San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter — the well-lit meeting point where this haunted history ghost walk begins as the gas lamps come on.
  • Balboa Theatre
    The Balboa Theatre is an ornate 1924 landmark in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, beautifully restored as a downtown performing-arts venue. Night-shift workers have long reported disembodied voices in its basement dressing rooms — some too frightened to return.
  • Yuma Building
    Historic building that was the site the started the Historic 1912 of the Stingaree District
  • We will stop outside the exterior of Prohibition Lounge, a hidden Gaslamp Quarter speakeasy behind an unmarked "law office" door at 548 Fifth Avenue. Atmospheric and vintage today, the building served as San Diego's city morgue in the 1860s — and staff still sense they're not alone after closing.
  • The Horton Grand Hotel is a restored 1880s Victorian hotel and one of San Diego's most famously haunted buildings. Room 309 is said to be home to the ghost of gambler Roger Whittaker, with guests reporting shaking beds and wardrobe doors that open on their own.
  • Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House
    We will stop outside The Davis-Horton House, the oldest building in downtown San Diego (1850) and a former hospital — where nearly 200 forgotten urns were found in the floorboards in 1984. Now the Gaslamp Museum, it's known for self-closing medicine drawers, a phantom cat, and Victorian-era apparitions.
