The operator's own description promises "stories of how notorious criminals kidnapped thousands of people" and "unsolved murders, cover ups and unexplained paranormal activity" tied to the district's opium dens, brothels, and speakeasies, calling the tour "mildly spooky" rather than a hard-scare experience.

All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material, not documented paranormal history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
