Activity itinerary

Larkin House
  • 8m
Larkin House, built in the 1830s by Thomas Larkin, is one of Monterey’s oldest and most haunted landmarks. The spirit of Larkin’s wife is said to roam the halls, with visitors reporting cold spots and the sound of footsteps when no one is around. The house’s history as a social hub during California’s early days seems to have left a few guests behind.
General Sherman Quarters
  • 7m
The General Sherman Quarters, once home to the famous Civil War general, is rumoured to be haunted by the man himself. Visitors have reported seeing his ghostly figure, dressed in full military uniform, surveying his old quarters. The eerie atmosphere and lingering presence of the general make this a chilling stop on the tour.
Colton Hall Museum and Jail

Colton Hall, the site where California’s first constitution was drafted, also has a haunted past.

The ghost is said to still watch over the books, with reports of books moving on their own and the scent of old perfume lingering in the air. The library’s quiet atmosphere is occasionally interrupted by these spectral visits.
Stokes Adobe Restaurant
  • 8m
Stokes Adobe, now a restaurant, was once the home of Dr. James Stokes, who is rumoured to haunt the property. Patrons and staff have reported seeing shadowy figures and hearing disembodied voices, particularly in the upstairs rooms. The building’s history as both a home and a place of healing adds to its haunted reputation.
The Stevenson House

Visitors have reported seeing ghostly apparitions and feeling an inexplicable chill in certain rooms. The literary history of the house is intertwined with tales of the supernatural, making it a fascinating stop on the tour.
