Ghosts and Gravestones

On our list of the best activities in San Diego.

The trolley tour starts at Pioneer Park, where the mood changes once the sun goes down, then works through Old Town to El Campo Santo Cemetery, where gunslingers, gamblers and the city's early dead are buried. It ends outside the Whaley House, which the Travel Channel's America's Most Haunted series named the country's most haunted building, though the tour stays on the grounds rather than going inside. Guides tell the stories along the way over a ninety-minute route, stretching to 105 minutes when the Whaley House stop is included, crossing the cemetery's uneven ground in the dark.
