People who are truly afraid can get loud.
But these two were quiet and embarrassed.
They kept saying they knew how it sounded.
They had started from the Hawksbill Gap parking area, gone down Cedar Run, planned to come up White Oak.
and changed their minds after seeing a man on the trail behind them three different times.
He never spoke to them.
He never got closer than 50 yards.
He was not carrying normal hiking gear.
The man would stop whenever they stopped.
When they moved, he moved.
When they turned around, he stepped off trail and stood behind a tulip poplar with most of his body visible.
They got spooked, climbed back toward Skyline Drive, and drove away.
The description matched the woman's report well enough that I made a note.
Male, maybe late 30s to 50s, thin build, tan ball cap, gray shirt, dark pants, no pack.
Still, there are all kinds of people in the park.
Some are harmless and strange.
Some are lost.
Some are dealing with mental health problems.
Some live near the boundary and know the trails better than visitors do.
A strange man on a trail is not automatically a crime.
