Summary
Sure, Haight-Ashbury gave us peace, love, and an endless supply of tie-dye, but did you know it also came with its very own set of ghosts? That's right—the '60s weren’t just about flower power; there were some serious paranormal vibes hiding in those Victorian homes. In today’s episode, we take a walk through the streets where the counterculture blossomed and meet the spirits who decided to stick around long after the Summer of Love ended. They’re not all peace and love. Tommy Netzband discusses his book, Haunted Haight: Ghosts and True Crime Tales from Haight-Ashbury and Beyond. This is Part Two.
You can get Haunted Haight: Ghosts and True Crime Tales from Haight-Ashbury and Beyond through Amazon. You can also get the book on his website as well as information about the Haunted Haight Ghost Hunting Tour and Haunted Haight Pub Crawl at hauntedhaight.com.

| 0:32.5 | And I'm like, what? |
| 0:34.0 | Because, and you're from Chicago, |
| 0:36.9 | and I was just there, and I did a ghost tour, |
| 0:39.0 | and we were at Lincoln Park, talking |
| 0:41.0 | about all the bodies that are still probably there and it made me think in |
| 0:45.2 | San Francisco probably the same thing because they were moving cemeteries and |
| 0:51.6 | not within the Native American. |
| 0:53.0 | A lot of Native American bones that are found over by the old mission, |

| 1:20.2 | tiny cemetery that's owned by the Catholic Church. It's like the size of a |
| 1:24.0 | backyard, okay? And you know, it being it being such a old cemetery, the folks that built it were the Native Americans that lived here. |
| 1:37.5 | They built the church, but they were not allowed to be buried in the cemetery because if they did not convert to Catholicism, they would be |
