Detailed descriptions and historical background guide readers to sites of various natural disasters, tragedies, criminal activities, and ghostly legends and lore.

Jeff Dwyer is the author of an 10-book series of non-fiction guides for ghost hunters published by Pelican Publishers of Gretna, LA. He has authored eighteen articles for medical journals, chapters for two textbooks, three novels, one hundred and fifty songs, and two screenplays for television.

Born in the heart of the San Francisco Bay area, Jeff spent his early years in the small island community of Alameda where he developed a love for sailing, fishing, and local history and a fascination with the ships and airplanes of the nearby naval air station.

In college, Jeff became an All-American swimmer while pursuing his interests in the medical sciences in which he earned a bachelor's degree, two Master of Science degrees, and a Ph. D. This education landed him jobs at prestigious institutions, among them Duke University and the University of Southern California. Currently, Jeff works as a clinical specialist in cardiology.

Inspiration for Jeff's writing projects comes from his personal experience and keen sensitivity to the emotional and spiritual aspects of issues facing people today. His most recent novel, Passages Home, takes readers into the heart and mind of a veteran of the war in Iraq. The story explores spiritual and emotional wounds known as post-traumatic stress disorder, and a process of healing discovered in the vineyards, forests, beaches, and meadows surrounding the northern California town of Mendocino.

Fascinated with the paranormal, Jeff is an active paranormal investigator, researcher, lecturer, and consultant often featured on television and radio shows. Visit www.jeffdwyer.com to read about his investigations.

Jeff Dwyer is an accomplished public speaker having addressed audiences in excess of 2,000 people on a wide variety of topics ranging from paranormal phenomena to issues in medical research.

Love this book! Lots of good info.
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017
It was very interesting and I enjoy reading about local history not found in the usual text books. The only thing I found wrong was that he wrote that the little girl who's spirit is said to be in Point. Defiance park is named Carol . Now I can understand why he may have done that. You know " The name is changed to protect the innocent" kind of thing. It would have been better not to name her at all than to send ghost hunters going through the park calling for Carol. Now if her spirit is really there, she may not respond if you call her Carol. I pray that her killer may be caught so she can truly rest in peace. It makes me wonder if some other things he wrote may be inaccurate . If you want to know who the little girl really is read Haunted Tacoma.

It's important to keep this type of information current, and Jeff has done so in this book of haunted locations around the Puget Sound. He has coordinated his efforts with the major ghost hunting groups such as AGHOST (the largest in the region), the Museum of the Mysteries as well as individuals and his personal investigations.
I thought when I bought this that it might be a re-hash of existing information, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the book is up to date and written in an entertaining manner. I highly recommend it.
