San Francisco Chinatown Ghost Tour - Fully Guided

 

San Francisco Chinatown is the Oldest Chinese Community in the United States. It has been a popular shopping, dining and sightseeing destination for over a century.

Yet most outsiders have never experienced the extrasensory realm of vintage Chinatown after dark. San Francisco Chinatown Ghost Tours invites you to spend a Friday or Saturday evening gallivanting with us through the old haunts of San Francisco Chinatown.

Some say that specters from decades of Chinatown history emerge just after twilight. Follow along by lamplight as we journey through the neighborhood passageways where these lively spirits are said to bide their time.

All the while, learn about the reverence still offered to the Goddess Kwan Yin and the hungry spirits, along with the secrets of the magic moon cake. Ancient Chinese Mythology and Folklore flourish to this day in the oldest and most popular Chinatown in all of North America.

 

Ghostly Chinese Beliefs:

Many chinese believe that when individuals pass away, their souls continue living in the world of darkness. If there are descendents to care for them they will live contentedly in the afterlife. If there are no living caretakers available to them, they turn into desperate ghosts. On one hand, there are venerated, loved souls. On the other, there are miserable, abandoned ghosts.

Dealing with these ghosts can be likened to dealing with bullies and thugs. These hapless souls include those who have nobody to care for them because they died without descendents, during childhood, or far away from their families.

 

Scarier yet are the spiteful ghosts who died before their time either as murder victims or by suicide. They are said to haunt the scene of their death ready for revenge. Desperate and angry ghosts must be placated and the only way to avoid their mischievous doings and hate is to offer sacrifices to them, essentially to buy them off. But just as families do not invite beggars and strangers inside the house, these souls are not encouraged to enter, and sacrifices to them are made outside the home. A Taoist temple or gravesite is the norm.
