Ghost Stories and Legends of Alameda, Berkeley, and Oakland by Schiffer Publishing

Fulfilled by our friends at Schiffer Publishing

Alameda, Oakland, and Berkeley, California (across the bay from San Francisco), don't have much in common at first glance—until after dark. Visit with none-too-friendly ghosts of the Pardee Home Museum who, even now, still talk to visitors. Learn about the poltergeist in a medical office that levitates ashtrays and throws typewriters. Read about a threatening, smoky wraith that glides across the gym at the Alameda High School. Explore Mound Street, former Native American burial grounds, and the cemetery ghosts of Mills College. A psychic shares her impression of an Alameda restaurant. Find out how a dead neighbor communicated through a computer screen. Public buildings and private homes, and even a student co-op are not immune from spirits haunting Alameda, Berkeley, and Oakland. To those of us who believe, ghosts are everywhere; these cities are no exception.[AuthorName]Karen Zimmerman[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Karen Zimmerman has had paranormal experiences since she was a child.
