Did you feel anything unusual the last time you visited Hearst Castle, La Purisima Mission in Lompoc or La Playa Hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea? These are some of the places scattered between Ventura and Monterey in which apparitions have been reported according to the author of the book, “California’s Haunted Central Coast.”

Writer and former teacher Evie Ybarra is still educating by making people think about possible supernatural happenings along the Central Coast. “This book weaves stories with local history,” she explains. “Many come from oral traditions and have been passed down from generation to generation.” Others are historical facts. Some are just plain hard to explain.

If you travel the Central Coast or love reading about mysterious happenings and apparitions, you’ll find this book fascinating.

• Point Sur Lighthouse is considered the most haunted lighthouse along California’s coastline.
• In the Bell Tower of California State University Channel Islands, people have seen mysterious faces in the bathroom mirrors that disappear.
