The Horton Grand Hotel
This 132-room Victorian-style hotel located in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter has at least one room that is alleged to be haunted. The building that houses the hotel was built in 1986 using building materials salvaged from the Grand Horton and the Brooklyn-Kahle Saddlery Hotel, both of which were knocked down in the 1970’s. One ghost is said to be that of Roger Whitaker, a scoundrel and gambler who haunts room 309, although accounts of the man's life seem to be apocryphal at best. The hotel's website coyly hints at the presence of other ghosts as well.

About the Site
After running a public group for a few years, I decided to call it quits and focus on research and writing. Supernatural San Diego is my attempt to correct some of the worst untruths about San Diego ghosts and give you guys a chance to see photos of the sites before planning an investigation.
I've deliberately gone with a brighter, daylight approach - I was getting a little bored with everyone else's black background and clip-art ghosties. Hope that's OK with you!
