About haunted places in California
California's haunted places span historic hotels, theaters, saloons and old homes — many tied to the region's frontier and railroad-era past.
The places listed here are drawn from local history, published folklore and visitor reports. Many are open to the public, and several offer overnight stays and guided tours. Stories are recorded as accounts rather than established fact.
