Ghost Stories of the Long Beach Peninsula

by Sydney Stevens

For centuries, the Long Beach Peninsula has been known for the treacherous waters off its western shore, prompting seafarers and fishermen to call it the “Graveyard of the Pacific.” But it’s not just the ghosts of shipwrecked mariners that residents whisper about on stormy winter nights. As Ghost Stories of the Long Beach Peninsula proves, the truly chilling tales are more often about earthbound spirits and specters that linger in the weathered communities along the Peninsula. Early settlers of the region, long-ago neighbors and family members sometimes refuse to leave the area, even after death. Join author and historian Sydney Stevens as she explores unanswered questions about the ghostly phantoms that cling tenaciously to this isolated region.

I've read a lot of these type of books, "Ghost Stories of...", and this is the best by far.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book the history lesson alone was worth the read. My husband grew up on the Peninsula so I found it doubly interesting.
