Haunted OC Ghost Walks in San Juan Capistrano
Every weekend in October (Friday(7pm), Saturday(6 & 8pm) & Sunday(7:00pm)), 2025 
Join us on the Capistrano Ghost Walk, our newest venture into the dark and the macabre through the historic streets of one of California’s oldest cities. Under the canopy of century old pepper trees, hear the stories of the spirits that inhabit the old Los Rios district and make our way through the dimly lit Camino Capistrano to the outskirts of the Mission itself. Tales of headless spirits, bandits and even a pirate attack will be shared and elegant restaurants with a dark past and restless spirits await you. We end the San Juan Capistrano ghost tour outside the Mission near the church, where in 1812 a great earthquake struck, and forty-two parishioners were crushed under the falling stones, and at least one soul there is not at rest. Embark on a dark, history-filled tour that will be remembered forever in one of Southern California’s oldest and most haunted locations.
