San Francisco is an old soul. With such an long history, there are of course skeletons in our closets and ghosts in our midst.

And being in such a gorgeous place may mean that some spirits delay crossing over, choosing to hang around just a little bit longer. (We get it—we don't want to leave either.) Halloween is coming, so get spooked with a look at some local haunted places.

Queen Anne Hotel

Located at 1590 Sutter Street, the Queen Anne Hotel was once Mary Lake's School for Girls. Headmistress Miss Mary Lake is said to haunt the hotel--especially her room, 410. She tends to guests like she did her girls, kindly tucking them into bed and arranging their clothes.
