SF Ghost Hunt tour guide Christian Cagigal on board for spooky historical season    

With recent talk of how “San Francisco just isn’t the same,” some details reveal it to be eerily like 1998, when entertainer and “ghost storyteller” Jim Fassbinder started the San Francisco Ghost Hunt Walking Tour. Back then, the city was a burgeoning tech hub that had a reputation for closed shops and dilapidated neighborhoods — a reputation local leaders were desperate to erase through corporate sponsorship. (The Metreon opened in 1999.) In many ways, San Francisco always has been haunted by its own history. 

Which is precisely what Fassbinder hoped to tap into with his tour, which sheds light on the colorful history, memorable characters and the haunting urban legends of the City by the Bay.
