BETH LANDIS HESTER is originally from the haunted city of New Orleans, where she sometimes heard ghostly footsteps in the very old house where she grew up...and awoke one morning to find a mysterious footprint on her ceiling! These days, she lives in New England with her husband, two children, and one spooky dog, and (most of) the footprints stay on the floor. You can find her at bethhester.com .
