About the author
Lisa Owings writes children's nonfiction about ghosts and the paranormal for young and reluctant readers. Haunted Houses, published by Blastoff! Discovery, surveys reports of haunted houses going back to ancient Rome, describing commonly reported phenomena such as unexplained sounds and objects that move on their own, alongside the skeptical explanations researchers give for them. Her catalog listing also includes Ghosts at Sea, a large-print title in the same high-interest Epic series for reluctant readers, which collects sailors' stories of cursed crews and phantom ships. Both books are built for school and library use: short, illustrated, and structured to introduce ghost lore together with basic questions about evidence and belief rather than to assert that hauntings are real. Owings' work suits younger readers and reluctant readers looking for accessible nonfiction on spooky, paranormal subjects.
