San Francisco is an old soul. With such an long history, there are of course skeletons in our closets and ghosts in our midst.
And being in such a gorgeous place may mean that some spirits delay crossing over, choosing to hang around just a little bit longer. (We get it—we don't want to leave either.) Halloween is coming, so get spooked with a look at some local haunted places.
Stow Lake
Golden Gate Park is home to a variety of ghosts. Probably the best known is the White Lady of Stow Lake. The legend goes that a mother was walking her baby in a stroller near the lake. She began talking to another mother, and when she went to check on her baby, saw that the stroller was gone. It had rolled into the lake, and the mother went in after, never to be seen again. Her ghost continues to look for the child, asking people if they have seen her baby.
