Today in the Grave Talks, Haunted Hate, ghosts and true crime tales from hate Ashbury and beyond,

a conversation with author Tommy Netsband.

The Hate to Ashbury neighborhood in San Francisco is a popular area known for its association with the counterculture of the 1960s.

It was the epicenter of the 1967 Summer of Love when thousands of people flocked to San Francisco to participate in a major demonstration of love,

peace, music, and alternative living. But it also has a much darker side. And it also has

residents that you can't see. It's ghosts. Ghosts that still remain in the neighborhood's old Victorian homes

and hippie hangouts of the 60s. And they have stories to tell. And Tommy Nett's band has spent

nowadays. And like most people in this field, you have a paranormal experience. And that's what

gets you into this field. But in mine, it was a near-death experience. You know, my sister, she would take care of me. She's gone now.

God rest her soul. In fact, my new dog will be named after her. I love that. His last dog was

named after his mom. So I think it's very sweet. But I was in the bathtub.

My sister left me alone.

I remember I was really tired that night.

And next thing I remember, I was on the ceiling looking down at my body underneath the bathtub water.

And I wasn't scared, but I was very confused.
