Publisher's Synopsis

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.
