Real Ghosts. Real Witnesses. Real Hauntings.Rising from the San Diego waterfront like a relic torn from time, Star of India is the oldest active sailing ship in the world-and one of the nation's most haunted. Those who work aboard her know the truth: when the crowds leave, the spirits awaken.Meet Johnny, the mischievous stowaway-turned-prankster, who steals objects, traces strange symbols on unsuspecting visitors, and revels in creating chaos. Listen for the first captain's heavy boots echoing along the deck on fog-choked nights. And beware of McBarnett, whose tragic death bound him to the ship; his malevolent presence still hovering over the sleeping crew.These aren't campfire tales. They are lived experiences-recounted with vivid detail, chilling clarity, and emotional depth.For fans of paranormal nonfiction, maritime mysteries, and true ghost encounters-this is the haunted history you won't soon forget. Theresa Halvorsen has never met a profanity she hasn't enjoyed. She's generally overly caffeinated and at times, wine soaked. She's the author of both nonfiction and speculative fiction works and wonders what sleep is. When she's not writing or podcasting at Semi-Sages of the Pages she's commuting through San Diego traffic to her healthcare position. In whatever free time is left, Theresa enjoys board games, geeky conventions, and reading. She loves meeting and assisting other writers, and being a Beta reader is a particular joy. Her life goal is to give "Oh-My-Gosh-This-Book-Is-So-Good" happiness to her readers. She lives in Temecula with her amazing and supportive husband, on occasion, her college age twins and the pets they'd promised to care for.
