The Sound of Footsteps — Diane Patterson

Drusilla Thorne and her sister Stevie need a place to live in San Antonio while setting up their new identities. They find a rental going cheap -- very, very cheap. The family renting it can't find tenants because it's supposed to be haunted.

Drusilla loves the idea of renting a haunted place. For one thing, she likes saving money. For another thing, she knows ghosts aren't real.

But something is definitely making noises in the middle of the night. Something is scaring her sister. And when Drusilla makes it her business to discover what that something might be, she figures out what's really going bump in the night.

If only the answer were ghosts. Ghosts are easy.

Reality is where the trouble starts.
