The Ghost Detectives' Guide to Haunted San Francisco

by Loyd Auerbach, Annette Martin

Revealing a side of the famed city that tourists rarely experience, this handbook uncovers a hidden realm of ghosts, apparitions, and paranormal phenomena in San Francisco. The guide delves into the haunted hotspots that unsuspectedly lie in the city's most famous landmarks and neighborhoods, including Alcatraz, Chinatown, and the Presidio, while directions to each hair-raising location are provided, encouraging adventurous sightseers to seek out their own ghostly encounters. With the history of each frightening locale, the probable life stories of their resident spirits, and actual transcripts of their conversations with a psychic, this supernatural study delivers a realistic feel for encountering the uncanny.

I like to read paranormal / ghost stories because ghost stories are 90% history and 10% whooooooooooooooooo. This book does not focus on the history. It focuses on "personal experiences" that really aren't evidence. If you believe in psychics and other un-provable things, enjoy.

This was not a good ghost hunter book. I would have given it one star, except it did have some history, which in my opinion was the only saving grace of the book. I'm a bit obsessed with San Francisco and with Alcatraz especially, there was nothing new here and the authors didn't present their evidence well. I honestly can't recommend this one.

After reading this, I DON'T believe in spooks, I DON'T believe in spooks. Sigh, I always had hopes of the possibility.
