Maybe Gertrun was a ghost. In the beginning Cooper said it would be a 
ghost story, and that he personally encountered it. He said he would not 
tell the whole truth for the sake of a promise he made to an attractive 
woman who was kind to him. It's not the first time Cooper had a fling 
with a supernatural being -- there was "The Nebraskan and the Neriad."
