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.
