This spooky collection includes the extraordinarily odd, like the account of a coroner, who borrowed the stylish clothes of one dead man and even sold the corpse's head to a doctor for scientific research, and the paranormal, like the tale of a haunted, two-story house in San Francisco that was moved across town in an effort to dislodge its ghostly tenants. The attempt failed, and the <i>San Francisco Chronicle </i>commented that the neighborhood has been kept in a constant dread and torment by unearthly groans, mysterious lights, and agonized shrieks emanating from their dread habitation.</p><p>An intriguing and frightful look at the disturbing side of the state, <i>Creepy California</i> promises to send chills down your spine and keep you looking over your shoulder.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A fun primer on California's macabre and eccentric history.
