Full Of Terrific Tales Of Old And New San Francisco

"FULL OF TERRIFIC TALES OF OLD AND NEW SAN FRANCISCO." ---Dr. Arthur Chandler, historian, San Francisco State University [from the book of the first page]

Home is a Place you Always Come Back to

Any San Francisco guidebook can send you to the most popular restaurant in town or direct you to a museum. A really good one can fill you in on the historical significance of that plaque at the corner of Bush & Burrit and give you a brief biography of Emperor Norton. But only the best of them can guide you to the sites of famous murders, hauntings, weirde occurences and centers of supernatural energy. Eldritch Weirde has compiled a wonderful guide for the morbid with "A Guide to Mysterious San Francisco", and it is deserving of a sequel, as well as to be reprinted a thousand times over. Certainly, it is lacking in information on restaurants, hotels and musea, but that isn't why you bought the book, now is it? You read it to be entertained and titillated, excited and disturbed. And you will be.

details exactly why San Francisco is so bizarre.

This is the best "guide" book i've ever read. Details all the strange historical sites in the city, mysterious ghosts and hauntings, and where to find them. Also tells about a few odd ducks which might be sighted here, like the infamous sf twins who walk around the city arm in arm. They must be in their sixties but always wear matching frilly little girl dresses. (Think Whatever Happened to Baby Jane!) Using this book as a guide, you will get a much more memorable experience than the average tourist. Yes, the truth is stranger than fiction.
