Whaley House - Old Town hauntings

The Whaley House in Old Town San Diego was built by Thomas Whaley in 1857 on a parcel that previously hosted a gallows; this history underpins popular claims that the house is haunted. Over the years visitors and investigators have reported voices, footsteps, and apparitions inside the house, and it operates as a museum that interprets both the history and the hauntings. The extent and cause of the reported phenomena are debated among historians and paranormal investigators.
