About this experience
Discover the haunted heart of Temecula on a real ghost-hunting adventure led by an expert storyteller. Along the way, you’ll hear chilling tales from the city’s dark past—stories of hauntings, murders and crime that many locals don’t even know.
As night falls, step into Old Town, where Wild West-era buildings and creaky wooden floors set the mood. Feel the lingering energy as you touch the cold granite walls of the old jail, and explore the ghostly aftermath of a notorious bank robbery gone wrong.
Throughout the experience, you’ll use authentic ghost-hunting tools to investigate different types of hauntings and interact with the spirits that still cling to these historic sites. The tour ends with a closing ritual to honor the energy encountered and ensure no one takes an extra guest home.
Recommended for ages 12+ due to mature themes, including serial killers, brothels, and true crime.
