Haunted Tunnels of Old Sacramento

Old Sacramento State Historic Park is a national historic landmark located in the downtown area of Sacramento. This popular tourist destination includes historic attractions, museums, shopping and a variety of dining options. It also has a unique seasonal tour of the underground tunnels beneath the park.
When the area was originally built, it was plagued with all sorts of disasters. Fires occurred and due to its riverfront location, the area was wiped out more than once by flooding. In an effort to keep this section of Sacramento safe, workers literally had to raise the streets. What's left today are underground tunnels and areas where businesses once stood. Some of these areas are said to be haunted.
Mysterious footsteps, eerie feelings, shadows and strange voices are some of the claims that people of made when underground at Old Sacramento. Enough claims were made to capture the attention of the TV show
Ghost Adventures who captured their fair amount of ghostly evidence while investigating. With all the people who died when disasters hit, it's no wonder it's known as one of the most haunted places in Sacramento. If this sounds of interest to you, seasonal tours of the underground tunnels are given. Departing from the Sacramento History Museum, tours last approximately one hour.
