Stevens, Sydney: - Sydney Stevens and her husband, Nyel, live in the house that was once the parsonage for the historic Oysterville Church. Three generations have shared this house with Mrs. Crouch--the ghostly wife of the very first minister who lived here. Her story prompted Ghost Stories of the Long Beach Peninsula. The lingering questions about her husband led to yet another book of ghost stories--this one! Sydney is an author, historian and great-granddaughter of the man who cofounded Oysterville.
