Recenzii


“Sally Richards has done something amazing. Her book is a totally fascinating read—in it we meet real people, telling real tales of really strange phenomena. It’s not a scholarly text or dry accounting or a namby-pamby hit-or-miss retelling of what might’ve been a ghostly encounter—these stories resound with gritty authenticity and amazing first-person reports of real encounters with the paranormal. I recommend it to skeptics and believers alike.”
-- Melissa Martin-Ellis, Author of The Everything Ghost Hunting Book & 101 Ways to Find a Ghost

“There are voices out there if you listen. This book could show you how.”
-- Frank Sumption, Creator of Frank’s Box

“I love how the history is introduced into the storyline, for it adds that much more of intrigue in each chapter. I find it compelling to witness in words, what the individuals did in real time.

Her insights and travels bring life to the haunted history of California and the landmarks of her paranormal past. A must read for anyone interested in the—how should I say? Different side of the state, and her book should be part of anyone’s collection on the specters of the west.” -- Richard Senate, Author of Ghosts of the California Missions

“Our friend, Sally Richards, through intensive research and paranormal perseverance, has created an impressive new book covering 30 haunted California destinations including some of our personal favorites.

About the Author


Notă biografică

Sally Richards had a near-death experience (NDE) when she drowned at the age of eight in Hawaii. Growing up in the fiftieth state, she learned a healthy respect for the dead ancestors who fiercely protected the sacred sites on the islands. Although she was able to see the dead before this time, her mediumship abilities seemed to become clearer after her drowning incident. Richards continued finding herself first on the scene of several murders, as the victims drew her to the locations and begged her to find justice. Years later, she experienced her second NDE when she was hit by lightning during a severe pre-Hurricane Katrina storm. Her abilities seemed to reach an even higher level after this, and she then set out to learn about what was beyond the veil between life and death. After spending years at century-old Spiritualist camps across the country, taking classes from the senior members in the hierarchies, she trained as a medium and shifted those skills toward her work as a paranormal investigator, searching the globe for haunted locations, amazing stories, and unquestionable evidence.
