There were supposedly some ghosts running around the Sutro Baths. I've heard of a whistling ghost that no one ever saw and then there was some other ghost that could be seen at night...??? Anybody remember any of these stories in more detail? Have the ghosts made any appearances since the baths have been torn down? Thanks,

Ououuuuuu, Christine, this is scary stuff... I read an article that in 1961 the guardman at Sutro Baths had heard whistling sounds, and saw a white "fluffy" appearance, and fled from the creature. Turned out someone had put a cassette tape with trip wire into the structure, and it made the noise. A prank, wouldn't you say?
