Description

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.

About the author

Anita Yasuda was (gasp) a girl who couldn’t keep out of her local Sanrio Gift Gate. An avid collector of Japanese pop memorabilia from the 1970s, including textiles and anime, she made friends with Hello Kitty*R while a schoolgirl in Japan. She is the author of Japanese Children’s Fabrics: 1950s-1970s and Japanese Anime Linens: 1970s to Present, both for Schiffer Publishing, Ltd.
