‘Haunted’ one-bedroom apartment in old Presidio hospital: Guess the rent in San Francisco

Living in a unique, historic building is something plenty of people would love to do in San Francisco. But they may draw the line at residing in an old hospital.

The Presidio Public Health Service Hospital was built in 1932, replacing an older hospital building that served the area’s military residents. It was shut down in 1981, briefly used as the Defense Language Institute, and later abandoned and left vacant in 1988. It quickly became a favorite spot for graffiti artists and those looking to explore deserted buildings and remained mostly dilapidated for decades after.

It was finally converted into apartments in 2010, even earning LEED certification. But being an old hospital, it’s no surprise you’ll hear the occasional story about the supernatural inhabiting the building. According to San Francisco Ghost Tours, visitors should be wary of the sixth floor, since that was where employees performed medical research and experiments on animals. There was also a former morgue on site and allegedly a murder in the building in 2002. There’s even a Yelp page for the old hospital building where the reviews tell some old ghost stories.
