Several years ago I lived in a small lake Cottage on Spring Lake, in Cherokee, Iowa.
At times I would take advantage of the paved walking trail that surrounds the Lake.
I must admit I am a very huge guy. I'm 6'8" tall and weigh over 400 lbs.. So I take up a good chunk of the width of the path. So when I encountered other walkers on the trail, I would out of courteousness to them step to the far side of the path, to allow the others to pass without having to walk off the edge of the trail themselves.
One day when I was walking along the eastern edge of the southern Lake trail, I could hear rapid footsteps coming up from behind me. The type of sounds that would be made by a jogger. These footsteps were faster than my own footsteps.
Of course I moved to the side of the paved trail so the jogger behind me could pass by. But they never did, I moved further to the edge of the trail practically walking off the edge of the paved surface, allowing the jogger to pass without hindrance. But still the rapid footsteps would not pass me.
I finally stepped completely off the trail, and turned back to see why the jogger wasn't passing, and I saw nothing. There was no one there!
I have also experienced this same sensation on the highest part of the trail that overlooks the Lake on the west side of Spring Lake!
I can't account for the foot steps. It could be anyone of a number of victims that have drowned in Spring Lake over the years.
Why don't you come and visit Spring Lake Park, walk along the paved trail; and see if you can encounter this Jogging Ghost, too!
Maybe you will discover the Ghost's identity.
