Ghostly Tales of Long Beach Peninsula

by Sydney Stevens

Overview

Stay alert! Ghosts lurk around every corner. Even the most unexpected places might be haunted by wandering phantoms. Did you know that a ghostly typewriter taps out messages from beyond? Or that the spirit of a jilted suitor haunts the home he built for the woman who broke his heart? Can you believe that the ghosts of a little girl and her cat continue to play in a house they lived in over a hundred years ago? Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see the Long Beach Peninsula, and have you sleeping with the light on!
