Many years passed and I never saw my ghost. My daughter and I told the story to others and included the part where the next morning a footprint was found by the deck. Part under the deck and part in the dirt.
Years passed. My daughter grew. Then one night, while visiting my parents but staying at the cabin, I felt someone watching me. I sat up in bed, and there was my ghost. Staring at me.
This time he didn't talk. Maybe he recognized me from before. I don't know. But as before, he
disappeared. I was shaken but finally fell asleep with the light on.
That night I began thinking about him. Who was he? Who was this Running Deer he had asked me about. What was his story.
Now I wanted to see him. I wanted to talk to him. I couldn't wait for him to come back. In the light of day, all fear was gone.
