Tasia''s been sleepwalking through life after the death of her husband, but this week, that ends. This week, she will give her son a perfect birthday week. However, when Tasia''s stepdaughter brings a ouija board home, Tasia''s plans get swept away as the veil between the past and present thins. 

Is something hiding behind the shadows in her beloved Sacramento house? Cold spots, odd shadows, and a frightening laugh make her home uninhabitable. There''s only so many days Tasia, her son, and stepdaughter can crash on the couch of hunky neighbor Derek. Can Tasia and her friends solve the secrets of the widow who owned the house before? Or will the past demand too high a price?

Star of India is the oldest active sailing vessel in the world at over 155 years old. And she''s one of the most haunted, a beacon to lost souls.

Join authors Faxon and Halvorsen as they share not only the history of this iron-hulled ship, but the frightening paranormal experiences from the staff and volunteers who help to care for Star of India. In this creative non-fiction piece, you''ll hear the stories of several ghosts including Johnny the stowaway, now an active prankster, and the first Captain, still pacing the deck, his boot steps loud on dark nights. 

In this ghost hunting adventure, prepare to dive into the lives of those lost aboard.
