vThere are said to be tunnels underneath the building, leading to other hotels in the area, allowing for either an escape, or quick getaway. The building is plagued by hissing sounds and footsteps. Many feel as though they are constantly being watched.

The Whaley House is located at the intersection of San Diego Avenue and Harney Street, in the heart of historic "Old Town" San Diego. It is now a museum. The visiting hours are from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. A small fee is required for entrance to the house.
The Whaley House is one of the best known, and thought to be the most haunted house in America. Hans Holzer, a well-known ghost hunter, investigated the house. Numerous people have observed ghostly presences and phenomenon. Various ghosts may inhabit the Whaley house including an executed man, Yankee Jim, Mr. Whaley himself, Whaley's wife, several unknown apparitions, a little girl, & one of the Whaley's children, who died from scarlet fever. Some pictures taken of some these ghosts are on display in the courthouse room.
During the early part of the 20th century, this house was home to the Whaley family, while it was also being used as a town hall and courthouse. Hangings were a frequent occurrence in the parlor, and strange happenings have been linked to this. All the Whaley children died unnatural deaths such as having an ax fall on their head, and being killed in the doorway of a closet. Today, in addition to the sightings of two apparitions, footsteps are heard and many weird odors permeate through the house.
On Halloween it holds ghost tours. There is a chair that rocks by itself and a haunted doll room. Ghostly activity sometimes occurs during the tours.
Around 1960, when the Whaley House was opened to public visitors, numerous supernatural events were observed, felt or heard, primarily by employees and visitors. It seems that as these ghostly inhabitants got to know who steadily works there, they made their presences known in various ways, but not in a hostile way, as they have been accustomed to sharing their house with the strangers from the courthouse days. The sightings only took place in daylight hours.
The oldest manifestation has been that of Yankee Jim, a convicted man that was hung on the Whalely property before Mr. Whaley had bought the property. According to Corinne heavy boot foot steps were heard, running across the second floor.
On October 9, 1960, Mrs. Kirbey of New Westminster, B. C., Canada, entered the house's courtroom, which was empty, and observed the following: "I saw a small figure of a woman who had a swarthy complexion. She was wearing a long full skirt, reaching to the floor. The skirt appeared to be of calico or gingham, small print. She had a kind of cap on her head, dark hair and eyes and she was wearing gold hoops in her pierced ears." A picture of a shadow y form of a woman was caught on film, that wasn't visibly there when the picture was taken. Some feel this apparition is tied to the time when there was a court of law located here.
After a terribly busy visitor day, that had lots of tourists walking all around, a staffer was startled to see that the front door and upstairs windows had all locked at the same time as soon as the last visitor left.
Mr. and Mrs. Whaley have been seen calmly doing everyday activites / chores. A clear picture of an apparition Mr. Whaley, smoking his pipe, was taken by the window in the upstairs bedroom. He also has been seen walking around the house. Mrs. Whalely has been spotted rocking in a chair with a baby, folding clothes, and tucking a child in bed. Sometimes, only the rocking chair is seen moving back and forth by itself. On winter days when the doors are kept closed, and the heat is on in the house, sometimes staff members / other people have felt cold spots move past them, in the upstairs areas, which are assumed to be the Whaley's.
A little red-haired girl, dressed in late 1800's clothing, was seen clearly by a staff member, out in the garden area, smelling the flowers. She was there one minute, and then vanished. This same girl has been seen playing with the toys in the playroom. This child is the one thought to have died in the kitchen, after strangling on the clothesline in the outside yard.
Also spotted, was a ghostly apparition dressed in a frock coat and pantaloons who suddenly faded away, as well as the apparition of a ghostly spotted dog.
People and staff members have observed the sounds of music and singing, children laughing, a crying toddler in an upstairs bedroom, whistling, the smell of cigar smoke, the fragrance of perfume, and the wonderful aroma of baking coming from the kitchen, during Christmas week. The crying child is thought to be the toddler that died of scarlet fever.
Once Joe Posner stood downstairs, checking things out. A mother holding a small child was in front of him. Suddenly, the child exclaimed, "Look, mama," pointing in Joe's direction. The mother and Joe turned around and looked in the direction the child was pointing: The door to the garden, which was already partially open, slowly opened several feet wider by itself, then stopped. The air was still in the garden and no breeze was blowing.
