The ground is uneven, so we recommend comfortable shoes. Typically the morning is chilly while the afternoon is sunny and warm, so a sweater or light coat is recommended. Dress Rehearsals A Little Background on the Historical Cemetery Tour Beginning in 1995, the HSLB has conducted an annual living history tour at the city's two oldest cemeteries. Located on Willow Street between Orange and California and adjacent to one another, Long Beach Municipal Cemetery and Sunnyside Cemetery are “home” to more than 20,000 past residents of the area. The tour takes place the Saturday on or before Halloween and features graveside presentations by professional and volunteer actors who relate the life and demise of the person lying in rest. Each year's program features a number of stories – some are individuals who helped shape the city's political past, others are ordinary people whose tales remind us that rich or poor, famed or nearly forgotten, everyone has a story to tell. Period costumes worn by all the performers further heighten the experience with an aura of authenticity. Many guests get so involved in the presentation that questions like “What was it like to live here in 1920?” are often asked of the performers. The tour is appropriate for families and all ages. There is nothing scary about the vignettes or the location. Japanese ladyTickets are sold online and at the gate from 8:30 a.m. until noon just inside the main gateway on Willow Street or at the Orange Avenue entrance. The tour takes approximately two hours to complete, and the last presentations are between 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Awards Hollywood Gothique‘s 2014 Halloween Haunt Award Nominees: ⌖ Best Play in a Non-Theatrical Setting: HSLB's 19th Annual Historical Cemetery Tour ⌖ Best Short Play or Vignette: Fighting Injustice with Tacos from HSLB's Historical Cemetery Tour ⌖ Best Non-Haunt Halloween Event: HSLB's 19th Annual Historical Cemetery Tour

ghoula.blogspot.com/
Ghost Tour
This specialty tour is part of a series of tours GHOULA is conducting this year and only this year. Rather than tours built around a general geographical location (i.e. The Ghosts of Hollywood), we take a theme and run with it, telling only ghost lore that fits the theme. This gives us an opportunity to visit locations or tell stories that are not typically heard. These are one-off tours that will not be repeated. We are only doing these "bus tours" this year. Past tours have included... The Haunted Houdini Tour, The Ghost-buster Ghost-Bus-Tour, The Many Ghosts of Valentinio, and The 13 Richest Ghosts of Los Angeles, and now this tour...

DATE: Sunday, July 27, 2014
TIME: 12:30pm and 3:30pm
(tours run 1 1/2 to 2 hours each)
PRICE: $35.00
MEET-UP LOCATION: Millennium Biltmore Hotel
506 S Grand Ave Los Angeles, CA 90071

LONG BEACH: The Queen Mary Open Daily
Queen Mary
Sure, they milk the spook factor for all it's worth every Halloween, but the Queen Mary in Long Beach is certifiably haunted according to the countless visitors who claim to hear voices and rattling chains during tours and overnight stays. The Queen Mary certainly has a past that's ripe for modern-day hauntings. She started life as a luxury liner, setting forth on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, in 1937, and hosting everyone from Bob Hope to Winston Churchill. But when WWII began, the Queen Mary was drafted into service as a ferry ship, carrying thousands of troops into battle areas. The fancy lady was stripped of her chic facade, painted a camo grey and dubbed the Grey Ghost.” After years of service in war, and at her majesty's whim, the Queen Mary was eventually sold to a tour operator and sent to retirement in Long Beach, where she's been a floating hotel and event spot since 1967. According to the late psychic and ghost hunter, Peter James, who led tours around the Queen Mary, almost all areas of the ship including the second class pool deck and engine room 13 are known to be haunted.

BARSTOW: Harvey House & Rail Station
hauntedbarstow.com
The Casa Del Desierto, also known as the Barstow Harvey House and Rail Station, is occasionally one of our touring locations.
After fires in the 1800's the new Barstow Rail Station and Harvey House opened in 1911. Known as the Jewel of the Desert”, it served proudly through decades as a place of rest, relaxation, and wonderful food for the weary rail traveler and those on Route 66. For both civilian and military, the service was impeccable and for a reasonable price. The spirits still linger on in and about this historical gem. We will explore its "unknown" in a search for spirits of the past to help us understand and preserve. I hope you join us on one of the Haunted Barstow Harvey House Ghost Tours and keep with you the priceless memories of this powerful experience.

From the Founder of the retired Calico Ghost Walk at historic Calico Ghost Town, Bill Cook is back and brings you Haunted Barstow, a haunted tour that is incomparable to any other ghost tour.
