This is the second time I've been here but the first time doing the night tour. We had Nick who was really cool. He's more into the investigative side of things instead of the history. You get full access to the building without restriction, he explains what to do and how to use the equipment. Then, its go time! We were just 5 people, and we totally had some weird things happen to us! Completely in the dark, no lights except our phones. Would totally do it again.

When my friend first said “do you fancy going on a late night paranormal investigation at the ‘Most Haunted House in America’, I immediately said “er, I wouldn’t have thought so”. But, in the end, guilt made me say “ok, I’ll do it”. For the first 45 minutes, I wished I’d stuck to my guns, but within an hour, I was absolutely LOVING it. Nick, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. He was honest, transparent (not like a ghost, but just very upfront about things). He gave us some background on the house, showed us how to use the ghost detecting equipment, took us into the house, and let us loose. I’m not going to go too into detail, but I will say this; any scepticism I had about spirits/the paranormal prior to the investigation has now been erased. Things happened, I saw things with my own eyes, experienced things with my own hands, and honestly, will never be a doubter again. The two best pieces of kit I used were the dowsing rods, and the Ovilus. Both threw up things that can’t be faked or staged, and I’m a new believer!

When skeptics like us, go to a haunted residence (we’ve been to a few), you try to get in the ‘spirit’ of the experience and play along. The grounds were well maintained, full of old buildings, moved there from other places. The docent, Hunny, was funny and serious, in the proper mix. Rooms in the house are decorated with actual items from the family and got you in the mood of the era. Probably more fun for actual ghost hunters but still glad we went to see it.

Just a plain old house. The tour explains the lifes of those who lived there without any mention of what type of panarormal activities have been reported and what the interest of this house is from this perspective. Disappointing. Would wished we would have not gone. Also, the San Diego all-inclusive does not include the night tour. We feel we waisted our money. The guide also made a point to remind us at the end he expected a tip. We simply left. Marc and Suzanne, Montreal Canada

Tour guide was nice and informative. Ghoulie julie. Went in store room immediately heard loud footsteps running upstairs(very loud) . We could hear a woman talking to someone also. Didnt like the living room part , my throat started to feel pressure and tighten up. Over all very good experience.

We really enjoyed our haunted evening tour. I will say that the tour itself did feel a little rushed at only about 30 minutes but it was so much fun to hear the spooky stories surrounding the Whaley House and our guide, Hunny, was a good storyteller. I highly recommend the free shuttle from downtown – it was a quick drive and I had an old-fashioned trolley all to myself!
