San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury is famous for tie-dye, flower power, and the iconic Summer of Love, but behind the psychedelic haze of the 1960s lies a darker history few talk about.
Author and tour guide Tommy Netzband shares stories from his book Haunted Haight: Ghosts and True Crime Tales from Haight-Ashbury and Beyond. The Victorian houses that once sheltered hippies, musicians, and dreamers have their own secrets — and some of their former residents never truly left.
We explore the ghostly legends that linger in these historic streets, where the scent of incense once masked the scent of tragedy. From unsettling murders tied to the counterculture era to the restless spirits still spotted in candle-lit windows, these tales prove that Haight-Ashbury’s past isn’t all peace, love, and good vibes.
Step back into a time of rebellion, music, and unrest — and meet the spirits still keeping watch over the birthplace of a cultural revolution.
You can get Haunted Haight: Ghosts and True Crime Tales from Haight-Ashbury and Beyond through Amazon. You can also get the book on his website as well as information about the Haunted Haight Ghost Hunting Tour and Haunted Haight Pub Crawl at hauntedhaight.com. This is Part Two of our conversation.
