Life is just beachy in Santa Cruz… or so it seems. Ever since the first mission was created on the Uypi tribe’s stolen soil, the city has been cursed by terrible tragedies: A runaway train, deadly poolside accidents, beaches that don’t let swimmers leave…
Join Santa Cruz Ghosts for a night of thrills and ghost-hunting.
Are you ready to see the ride that claimed multiple lives? What about the venue that still houses the ghosts of bathers from a century ago?
Are you ready to hear about the terrifying reign of the
dreaded California pirate, Captain Bouchard?
It all begins at Boardwalk Bowl, where the ghosts of former holidaymakers still throw balls at spectral pins. From there, you’ll snake through seven different stops, learning more local legends at every twist and turn.
By the time your tour is finished, you’ll see a new side to Santa Cruz that might shock you, spook you, or just give you the creeps. So, are you ready? The spirits are waiting.

All tours meet at Boardwalk Bowl 115 Cliff St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060. Your guide will be wearing a US Ghost Adventures t-shirt and carrying a lantern. Please arrive 15 minutes before your tour start time
