Haunted Hike

The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Interesting. I walked this trail several nights before, but never noticed a candle. Actually, I never noticed the cabin. Twilight is slipping into night. I want a quick peak before I head back to camp. Branches crackle under my feet as I attempt to approach quietly. I don’t want to startle whoever is here.
