Summary

Home to one of the busiest ports in the country, San Pedro plays host to visitors from all walks of life--and death. Locals swap supernatural stories of shipwrecked ghosts, lost lighthouse keepers, suicidal lovers and more. The spirit of a native Gabrieleno man wanders the grounds of the Wayfarers Chapel. The phantom smell of a Civil War officer's cigar smoke wafts through the halls of the Drum Barracks. A dedicated employee of the historic Warner Brothers Theatre still fixes jammed film reels and tests equipment in the projection room. Historian and paranormal investigator Brian Clune delves into the history and mysteries of these spooky seaside haunts. Brian Clune is the cofounder and historian for Planet Paranormal Radio and Planet Paranormal Investigations. His interest in history led him to volunteer aboard the USS Iowa and at the Fort MacArthur Military Museum, as well as give lectures at colleges and universities around the state. He has been featured on numerous TV and radio shows and is the author of several books. He lives in Southern California with his loving wife, Terri, his three wonderful children and, of course, Wandering Wyatt! Buy the book HERE Learn more about your ad choices.
