About the author
Heather C. Hudak is the author of Haunted Ships & Lighthouses and Haunted History of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, both entries in hi-lo nonfiction series aimed at young readers, published by Brightpoint Press and Core Library respectively. The Gettysburg title uses the history of the Civil War battle as a frame for the persistent local belief that soldiers still haunt the town and battlefield, while Haunted Ships & Lighthouses surveys reportedly haunted maritime sites across the United States and the paranormal experiences visitors and staff associate with them. Hudak writes in a straightforward, fact-driven style suited to reluctant or lower-reading-level readers, presenting the historical background of each supposedly haunted site alongside the folklore attached to it and leaving readers to draw their own conclusions about the claims. Her books belong to a broader body of young-reader nonfiction covering history and popular legend.
