Ghosts, Ghouls, Myths & Monsters: The Most Haunted Town in America

THE QUESTION IS NOT WHETHER MONSTERS WALK AMONGST US. They do. They have. For thousands of years. On the borders of humdrummia and every day reality, be it the forest's edge or a moonlit graveyard draped in gossamer spiders' webs, the macabre is all about. For our souls, our sanity, the vital question to answer is: Just WHERE are all these blankety-blank monsters?

Santa Clarita is a riparian bedroom community, an hour's drive north of Los Angeles. It's been home to giant, man-eating grizzly bears, ghosts, serial killers, devil cults, more ghosts, Bigfoot, werewolf encounters, UFO sightings, vampires, cannibals - documented pterodactyl attacks! - and, did we mention ghosts - a veritable invasion of them?
