Horton Grand Hotel ghost stories

The Horton Grand Hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter occupies restored Victorian-era buildings and is frequently cited in local lore for reported paranormal occurrences, including accounts of apparent footsteps, voices, and a woman seen in period clothing. The structure was reconstructed in the 1980s from 19th-century facades, and its Victorian history contributes to its inclusion on San Diego ghost tours and in regional articles about haunted places. Witness accounts are anecdotal and the stories remain part of local folklore rather than established fact. The hotel's location and architectural history make it a commonly referenced site in Gaslamp Quarter lore.
