Fort Point ghost stories under the Golden Gate

Fort Point National Historic Site, a brick fort beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, is a frequent subject of local ghost stories and paranormal tours, with visitors and some guides recounting reports of disembodied footsteps, voices, and apparitions tied to the fort’s 19th-century military history. These accounts appear in guidebooks, tour descriptions, and local press; they are anecdotal and discussed as folklore rather than confirmed phenomena. The site is managed by the National Park Service and is a documented historic location.
