I have a fondness for slightly humorous ghost stories.  "Ghost College" was interesting in some ways, even though it was yet another "demon" story.  Anyway, what really annoyed me were some of the (easily researchable) errors in the book.Kindle location 340:  "the old Spanish mission that had served as the original seminary."  The college is supposed to be in Fullerton, California where there were never any "Spanish missions."  I'm from Southern California, and I know the area's history.Kindle location 599:  "The music continued playing.  A classic diddy, with a lilt."  A ditty is another term for a song.  Someone should have checked this or, even more appropriately, the authors should have been familiar with a ditty!The worst mistake:  Kindle location 366:  "In the mid-eighteenth century, California was turned over to the United States. Don't you remember your California history from the fifth grade?"Why are there so many writers who can't remember that the 1800s were the 19th century, and the 1700s were the 18th century?  I have seen this mistake so many times. And "turned over" is certainly an understatement!
