Fun ghosts but shaky historyAugust 1, 2003 Wish I could agree with the previous reviewer, but, as someone who knows a fair amount about the Island's history, I feel compelled to say that a lot of the "history" in this book is not accurate! Ghost stories abound on the Island and it's fun that they've been documented. But don't count on all the history being accurate!
An enjoyable readMarch 19, 1999 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I purchased this book on a visit to Catalina Island, and finished it before our boat returned to the mainland. It is a very enjoyable read, with wonderful historical photographs to help you picture the situations they are discussing.
It is up to the reader to decide if they believe the stories presented here. If you have an open mind and are willing to entertain the possibility, you will enjoy the book. The added bonus, is that you also learn a lot about the history of this charming island.
