Spend an evening in one of San Francisco’s most storied hotels: start with a haunted cocktail, then conduct a hands-on paranormal investigation in vintage rooms using EMF meters, Spirit Boxes and EVP recorders. Expect narrow corridors, old plaster, and an investigative approach that’s part history lesson, part experimental protocol.

The evening begins with the city’s fog pressing against the restaurant windows as you sip a cocktail that tastes faintly of citrus and history. At Fior d’Italia, a guide recounts the building’s darker chapters and invites you into a summoning ritual; voices and footsteps feel less like memory and more like a dare.
