For a "ghost guide", I enjoyed it was rooted in history of the locations throughout Los Angeles County.

What I thought was a straight tourist guidebook turned out to be an actual guide to ghost hunting. The introduction and first chapter were dedicated to tips on how to ghost hunt, and tools that would be necessary for ghost hunting activities. I wasn't really a fan of this. I just wanted some background on local spiritual hot spots, including histories of potential ghosts. Thankfully the last five chapters gave me this. That's the only reason this got a three star rating, and not a two. There were some pretty detailed stories about these ghosts, and the chapters were broken up by location, grouping places together in terms of things like "beach communities," which is great considering how big Los Angeles is.
