I am married to someone who wants to believe in ghosts. I think I already believe in them. And writing a story set in someplace as historical as Fort Niagara, which has witnessed bloodshed over the centuries, it's a challenge to the senses to think the fort is not haunted. There are places one expects to have ghosts, and Fort Niagara is on my list.
So I decided that Where the Gold is Buried would be incomplete without ghosts. The question was, in a story that spans centuries, with people dying left and right, whose ghost should haunt the story?
The only Seneca chief to stick with Captain Pouchot was Kaendae, and though the legend says two French soldiers buried the chest, I decided it would be more interesting with Kaendae.
