Tour Highlights
Monterey, with its rich history and historic architecture, is a city that has long been associated with the supernatural. Founded in 1770, it was the first capital of Alta California and has been a witness to many significant events, some of which are believed to have left lasting imprints on the city’s historic buildings. The spirits of Monterey are said to be tied to both its colonial past and the turbulent times that followed, making it a hotspot for ghostly encounters and paranormal activity.
One of the most notorious locations on the tour is the Colton Hall Museum and Jail. This historic building, once used as a government building and jail, is said to be haunted by the ghosts of former inmates and officials who linger in its old, echoing halls. Whispers of their past deeds and tragic stories are rumored to drift through the rooms, creating an atmosphere ripe for ghostly encounters.
Another fascinating stop is the Monterey Museum of Art, where the worlds of art and the supernatural intertwine. Visitors have reported strange occurrences and unexplained phenomena within its walls, adding an eerie dimension to the museum’s rich collection of art and history.
The tour also includes a visit to the Stokes Adobe and the Lara-Soto Adobe, two historic buildings with their own ghostly legends. The Stokes Adobe, with its beautiful yet hauntingly preserved architecture, is said to be home to the spirits of former residents who have never fully departed. The Lara-Soto Adobe, with its long history dating back to the early 19th century, holds its own secrets and stories of ghostly visitors.
