Ghost Stories of California 3 by Barbara Smith

Inspired by some recent conversations I had with a friend of mine, I decided that now is the time to read this book of ghost stories that my sister-in-law was kind enough to give to me. (Thank you!) She knew I would like it. This book can be found in the travel sections of bookstores, and not the fiction section. You pretty much have to already believe in the existence of ghosts as a “given” in order to enjoy this book.

The book is filled with stories of encounters with ghosts in many different places in California. Many of these stories are about ghosts who are currently still haunting some specific place. One could just about plan a paranormal road trip this summer and use this book to decide on where to go visit. At least, that is what I want to do now that I have read this book.

Some of the stories end with a similar disappointing theme that goes something like : “…. and the ghost was never seen or heard from again after that…..”. Visiting those places won’t do you any good now. The best story is about the ship The Queen Mary that seems to be haunted by several ghosts, including Winston Churchill, and the ghost of an Irish Setter dog. You can’t beat that!

This book is part of a series of ghost stories that the author has collected. So, if you like this book, there is more where it came from.
