If you aren’t afraid of getting a little bit afraid, there are some tours in San Francisco that you might think about taking. We’ve got ghosts, vampires and some terrifying history here in the Bay Area and if you want to learn more about them we’ve also got the guides that can tell you. Here are four tours to take if you want to find out what’s out there.

• Alcatraz Night Tour – This is the least scary of the four tours because it’s the one that’s not geared towards the supernatural. It’s just the history of the small island that was best known for its time as a federal prison. The night tour is really more of an evening tour; you aren’t there after dark. But the place is pretty spooky anyway. And the tour is worth checking out.
• Haunted Haight Walking Tour (http://www.hauntedhaight.com/) – Get yourself some interesting history about the historical Haight neighborhood – history with a twist. This area was filled with horror from cult activity to murders and there are said to be some spirits lingering. Do you dare to learn more?
• San Francisco Ghost Hunt Walking Tour (http://www.sfghosthunt.com/) – If you want to learn about the ghosts that haunt San Francisco, this is one of the tours where you can do it. You just show up at the assigned location at 7 p.m. any night of the week and you’ll get your local tour of the spots that are reported to be haunted. Make sure that you wear a jacket; there’s going to be an eerie chill in the air.
• San Francisco Vampire Tour (http://www.sfvampiretour.com/) – If you love Anne Rice and you wish you drank blood, you might get a kick out of this tour. Take it and find out!
