When you combine three centuries of exploration and settlement; Spanish, Mexican, and Yankee influence; a handful of natural catastrophes and manmade disasters; and vast swaths of eerie and desolate shoreline, you have an environment ripe for a haunting. From Moss Beach south along Highway 1 to Santa Cruz and down the coast through Monterey, San Luis Obispo, and Lompoc, expert ghost hunter Jeff Dwyer guides locals and tourists alike through the most haunted and historic sites in the area.
The ghost of Robert Louis Stevenson and the Lady in Black in Monterey, the spectacular haunted Hearst Castle in San Simeon, and the ghost of the girl with tuberculosis in the Big Sur Lighthouse are among some of the spirits and sites visited. Historical information, tips and guidelines to planning a ghost hunt, and address and contact information for each locale round out this exploration of three hundred miles of haunted California coastline.
