The Ghost of Nob Hill

Living in downtown San Francisco and working as an opener for a major coffee chain, I would bike to work between 4 and 4:30 in the morning. My route took me along Sansome towards Broadway, crossing California.

One morning while I was crossing California I saw a young woman in a white victorian era dress with beautiful lace details. As she was crossing the street in front of me I noticed dainty shoes peeking out with each step. It was a very windy morning but her dress wasn’t being blown around, just the movement of walking. Her hair wasn’t moving either. She had sort of an internal glow for me to see as much detail that I did. The smell of lilac and lavender was heavy in the intersection, a place where there are no flower beds. As I drew parallel with her she vanished. I stopped and looked around, committing what I had seen to memory.

When I got home later that day I looked up ghosts in the area and found the story of a San Francisco socialite who dissapeared while on her way to her social debute. Story has it that she was found years later in the midwest where she had run off to, having no desire to become part of the high society social scene. The ghost started appearing after the woman died, supposedly walking California street to Nob Hill trying to get to the party she missed in her life.

Whether that story is true or not, I do know that I saw her more than once while on my way to work, smelled the lilac and lavender on more than one occasion as well.
