Peralta Adobe & Fallon House - oldest building with ghost-story lore

The Peralta Adobe, built in 1797, is the oldest building in San José and is preserved as the Peralta Adobe & Fallon House Historic Site. Over decades, local visitors and tour guides have recounted ghost-story anecdotes and reports of unexplained noises connected to the adobe and adjacent Fallon House. These stories appear in local histories and walking-tour programs as part of San José's cultural folklore, and are presented as anecdotal rather than scientifically verified.
