3 Solo Hikers Were Followed by Something That Left Tracks - Only One of Them Was Attacked

3 true scary hiking stories from solo hikers who were followed by something in the deep woods. One felt it. One saw it. One heard it copy his own voice back to him. These are true horror stories submitted to Obscure Nights, told the way they actually happened. ACCOUNT 1: PECOS WILDERNESS, NEW MEXICO A solo hiker finds a second set of boot prints 18 inches to his left at a creek crossing. Same tread, two sizes bigger, still wet. It keeps pace with him for a mile and a half. Then he finds his own morning print with the bigger one pressed down inside it. The tracks stop. Two minutes later something invisible drags him to the ground and throws him into a ponderosa hard enough to tear his shoulder. ACCOUNT 2: EAGLE CAP WILDERNESS, OREGON A woman walking a ridge at night waves at a second headlamp on what she thinks is a parallel ridge. For 73 minutes it matches every move she makes, without a sound. When she calls out, it dips once, like a nod. Then she reaches a saddle and sees there's no ridge there. The light is hanging in open air over a 200-foot drop. ACCOUNT 3: DESOLATION WILDERNESS, CALIFORNIA A camper with asthma records his nights for his doctor. At 2:10 a.m. something 15 feet outside his tent coughs back at him, with the same chest rattle he's had since he was 19. It happens six times, always two seconds later. Then he hears his tent zipper replayed from a tent that isn't there. When he goes back for his gear, the camp has been packed up for him. If you like mimic stories, skinwalker stories, and creepy stories to fall asleep to, this is your kind of night.
