Are you ready to interact with those things that go bump in the night?

There are specific points in the El Pueblo Viejo Historic District of Downtown Santa Barbara that have paranormal phenomena. Think that old buildings are the only reason Santa Barbara is such a paranormal hot spot? Let’s start with something called a Corpse Road. This was a path taken by a funerary procession to move the dead to its burial place. Any route a coffin was carried along automatically became a public right of way. Spirits of the dead moved through the physical landscape along these special routes on a direct course close to the ground in a straight line. The paths ended or originated at a cemetery. These Corpse Roads often ran along ancient Ley lines.

Ley lines make paranormal activity more intense and buildings really haunted.  So much so, the founder of a large Spiritualist community who lived in Santa Barbara, purchased 1,050 acres right here along the sea for his fellow spiritualists from around the country to join him and his family in regular communion with their dearly departed.

What to Expect.

Ghost stories told around a campfire typically begin with “It was a dark and stormy night…” Then the plot unravels to reveal a paranormal entity that is the cause of the haunting. But a burning question that remains is, what type of paranormal entity is it?

What makes our tours different than other ghost tours, is that we tell you the type of paranormal entity it is for every ghost story. We have identified three paranormal types: 1) Intelligent, 2) Residual and 3) Nonhuman.

Another thing that sets us apart from other ghost tours is that our stories, which are curated content from first-hand accounts, are told through the lens of a paranormal investigator. In addition, you will use authentic ghost hunting equipment as well as engage in paranormal sensory experiences. Every story/experience is unique and each tour is designed to be done independently. You can also combine them for the ultimate paranormal adventure.
