Eerie footsteps sound in thin air. Disembodied voices float down empty staircases. Apparitions peer from lace-covered windows. Welcome to the haunted Southern California coast. Meet inhabitants of the Olivas Adobe in Ventura County where icy hands pull at your clothes; glimpse ghostly lights at Smugglers Beach as they disappear into the waves, seeming to walk along the bottom of the ocean; experience sea monsters of Long Beach where you may become tangled in serpent tentacles; and take a trip on a cursed ship at San Clemente Island. Dead sailors, sea monsters, and evil apparitions abound here...beware.[AuthorName]Anita Yasuda[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Anita Yasuda is a freelance writer who enjoys a good ghost story and lives in a haunted house.
