These contemporary stories are the result of an extensive quest for ghostly phenomena taking place from one end of the city to the other.

The long history of San Jose has accumulated a remarkable amount of ghostly tales, from things that go bump in the night to its most famous haunt, the Winchester Mystery House.

At the La Forêt Restaurant, long-dead miners from New Almaden are rumored to appear in rooms they once called home. The ancestral land of the Ohlone people might now be the home of high tech, but its haunted past remains. Author, educator and lifelong resident Elizabeth Kile brings to life the memories of those who came before -- and those who never left.
