Title: Haunted Houses of California: A Ghostly Guide to Haunted Houses and Wandering Spirits Revised & Expanded
Author: Antoinette May
Published Year:1990
Pages: 231 pages

Just a quick ghost story book. May provides first hand accounts as well as eye witness testimony including testimonies from well-known psychics such as Sylvia Brown. She also provides a detailed bibliography for more sources to investigate. The book is not just set up with ghost story after ghost story, it is set up geographically. This is a helpful tool because if you are interested in just a certain area, then you can focus just on that specific area.

Here are the haunted locations you will find within these pages:

• The Easkoot House
• The Haunted Doll House
• The Valley of the Moon Saloon
• The Madrono Manor
• Migliavacca Mansion
• The Haskell House
• The San Francisco Art Institute
• The Montandon Townhouse
• The Haunting of Alcatraz
• The Mansions Hotel & Restaurant
• The Rengstorff House
• The Peninsula School
• The Atherton House
• The Wheeler Office
• The Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve
• Kohl Mansion
• The Moss Beach Distillery
• The Red, White and Blue Beach
• The Stevenson House
• Bindel's Restaurant
• SUnshine Villa
• Brookdale Lodge
• The Winchester Mystery House
• The Ghost in the Haunted Toy Store
• Pacheco Pass
• The Vineyard House
• The Sutter Creek Inn
• The Nevada County Historical Museum
• The Willow Hotel

• Heritage Park
• The Elke Sommer0Joe Hyams House
• The Queen Mary
• Rancho Jamul
• The Thomas Waley House
• Casa De Estudillo
• Hotel Del Coronado
• The Fallbrook Enterprise
• Horton Grand Hotel

As you can see from this list not all of the locations are well known which is a nice change from the countless ghost story books that only focus on the major attractions. I personally enjoy learning about the other haunted locations that have not been totally commercialized and used to turn a profit.
