This haunted house is located near the corner of Franklin Street and McDowell Avenue in Fort Mason.
The Haskell House has been known as well as the Quarters Three. This house has a long history of paranormal activity.
Senator David Broderick lived at the Haskell House in the 1850s.
Tragically, the Haskell house is also where U.S. Senator David Broderick died from a gunshot wound he got in a duel over political differences with State Supreme Court Justice David Terry on September 12, 1859.
This was a planned duel that even drew a crowd.
After being shot by Justice David Terry, Broderick returned to the Haskell house to recover from his gunshot. However he eventually died three days later... in the house.
Many past tenants have felt an invisible presence, especially in the kitchen, as though someone were watching them.
Over the years, many people staying at the house have experienced hauntings.
The worst incident to happen at the Haskell House was when a painter working on a window reported being pushed out the window by something invisible.
