About the author
Liza Gardner Walsh writes for young readers about ghosts and Maine folklore, published by Down East Books. Ghost Hunter's Handbook: Supernatural Explorations for Kids introduces children to ghost lore in general terms, covering what a ghost is said to be, well-known haunted houses, and accounts from real ghost hunters, presented as an entry point rather than a serious investigative guide. The Haunted Fort: The Spooky Side of Maine's Fort Knox focuses on one specific site, the historic fort near the mouth of the Penobscot River, tracing both its military history and the haunted reputation that drew attention after it was featured on the television show Ghost Hunters. Walsh's books suit young readers and families interested in Maine history and folklore told through a ghost-story lens.
