[QUOTE="dragoner, post: 7634589, member: 6943731"] In the Bay Area - Grande Vista Sanitarium, later known as Belgum Sanitarium in Alvarado Park (across the bay from SF), it's largely burned by now, but my ex-wife and I used to ride horses around there, it's a fairly creepy area. [url]https://logdriver.tumblr.com/post/107069551757/belgum-sanitarium[/url] [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvarado_Park[/url] Claremont Hotel in the Oakland/Berkeley hills, old and historic, another creepy vibe, like the Shining could have happened there. [url]https://www.fairmont.com/claremont-berkeley/[/url] Sutro Baths is kind of a trippy place: [url]https://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/cliff-house-sutro-baths.htm[/url] There are a ton of old fortifications on the coast, as it was once one of the most heavily fortified coasts in the world, and many of the hills in the Marin Headlands are said to be filled with old military tunnels: [url]http://fortwiki.com/Harbor_Defense_of_San_Francisco[/url] Angel Island in the Bay that has had a military base, Quarantine Station, and Immigration Station: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Island_%28California%29[/url] There is a Mission on the southern part of the city, it called "Mission Dolores" or the Mission of Sorrows or Pain, where legend has it that they built the Chapel, held a huge festival inviting 1000's of Native Americans, and at the end told them to come in to be converted, some came in, the doors were closed, and then the Conquistadores rode from the surround forests and massacred those that didn't go inside to be saved. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Francisco_de_As%C3%ADs[/url] The Legion of Honor fine arts museum is a beautiful building housing many great works of art and interesting historical objects: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_of_Honor_(museum)[/url] I know this isn't exactly what you asked for, but I thought they might be of help in an SF based game.
