The Calico Incident

About the Book

In the year of 1988 Johnny M. Johnson, a retired deputy Sheriff in San Bernardino County, California takes a job as an actor-gunfighter in the ghost town of Calico. He was well aware of the history of that old mining town and the rumors of its reported ghostly legends.

Johnny had a personal connection to Calico that went back one hundred years. He had no idea that this connection would come back to haunt both he and his partner. After talking to his grandmother for so many years, Johnny thought he knew everything there was to know about that old town, but when he was taken back to a time when Calico was a thriving mining town he found there was much more than he imagined.

Upon returning to the present day Calico he is not as skeptical about the supernatural as he was before, but he now has to fight off those who followed him back in time.

“Once you enter that dimension, you can never leave”, he was often heard mumbling.
