Mission Dolores cemetery legends

Mission San Francisco de Asís (Mission Dolores) contains one of the city's oldest cemeteries and is frequently cited in San Francisco folklore and ghost-tour literature for reports of unexplained sightings, cold spots, and nocturnal cries near the old graveyard. The mission itself is a documented historic site founded in the 18th century, and the cemetery's age and history are commonly referenced as context for the stories. Accounts are anecdotal, appear in local press and tour narratives, and are treated as folklore rather than scientifically established phenomena.
