FunTranscript
00:00This happened a few years back. I was 11 years old at the time, with my family driving in the middle of nowhere, Montana.
00:08It was also the middle of the night in the dead of winter.
00:11We used to own this place in the literal middle of nowhere, and every once in a while we'd drive out and spend a week fishing, camping, and hiking.
00:21So, we were driving back towards civilization, and everyone was tired.
00:25Big walls of snow were on either side of the road.
00:27Beyond the dirty snowbanks, you could see thick tree lines.
00:31We were cruising along, climbing up over this mountain pass.
00:35I remember I had half my forehead pressed up against the cold glass, while I tiredly watched what little snow and nature I could make out in the dark.
00:42Then, I saw this person.
00:44I will always remember her as a female.
00:46Maybe that's just what I settled on in my head, but either way, they were wearing a tattered coat, multiple layers, and carrying a couple of big bags.
00:54I remember seeing a flash of a cold face.
00:57I wasn't the only one to see her, though.
00:59My dad mumbled,
01:00See that? Must be freezing out there.
01:02And my mom said something like,
01:04Maybe we should give them a ride.
01:06But we were already a half mile away.
01:08So we got to the top of this mountain.
01:11I could tell because I got that feeling in my ears, and we began the descent down to the other side.
01:16The driving conditions were not great, but the old family car was doing just fine.
01:20We leveled out a bit, and I started scanning the distance for any signs of a city, town, or anything.
01:26Still nothing but snow and trees out there.
01:28We were totally alone.
01:30We began the real descent, and we started winding down this mountain pass.
01:34I was staring out the window at the snow and trees as the drive got scary.
01:38We hadn't passed a car for what seemed like hours.
01:41I remember my dad started talking about something, and that's when I saw her again, standing out in the snow.
01:47I got a brief glimpse when they were illuminated by the headlights, but then gone.
01:51This time, I got a better look at her face, and I wish I hadn't.
01:55A really strange smile in the middle of a very disfigured face.
01:59Maybe she was a horrible burn victim.
02:01In that brief second, I couldn't get the image out of my head, but it felt like she was staring right at me, smiling.
02:06Some messed up kind of understanding in her small black eyes.
02:09So we drove on for a bit, and I remember just staring out the window.
02:13It immediately struck me.
02:15How did she get there?
02:16How did she travel miles and miles and miles in front of us?
02:19We didn't pass a car, truck, or anything, and there wasn't really any other road out there.
02:25We eventually got to the bottom of that mountain and made it to some roadside motel where we stayed for the night.
02:30The next morning, we found this little diner right outside the town that we stayed in.
02:33It was a classic trucker's stop type of diner.
02:36We ate and played I Spy.
02:38After the bill was paid and we zipped up our coats, I heard the doors chime.
02:42We were all heading out when I looked up and saw her again.
02:45The same coat, the dozens of hooded sweaters, the big bags filled with what looked like damp clothing.
02:51I was walking out behind my dad, and I remember that she gave this look at me as she passed.
02:55She really looked like she hated me, like she knew things I didn't, looking at me with that huge disfigured smile.
03:01She stopped beside me, but I stayed behind my dad until we got in the car.
03:06I don't know what really was going on.
03:08I couldn't help but feel bad for her if she was truly lost out there walking for miles in the cold,
03:13or maybe someone had hurt her.
03:14Probably a dozen of explanations for the whole experience,
03:17but I can't shake the weird feeling like she was following us.
03:20My family and I were driving from Ohio to Wyoming one holiday season to visit family about ten years ago.
03:37Due to storms farther north, we traveled straight west instead of northwest at first
03:42and split the trip at Omaha, staying the night before heading up through Nebraska into South Dakota.
03:47Once we were far enough north, we turned west onto I-90.
03:52At that point, it had been over an hour since we saw anywhere that might have had a public restroom,
03:57and we were on state routes, so no rest areas.
03:59Those of you who have traveled with a young child know the bladder and boredom limit isn't very long,
04:05and our daughter was begging to stop somewhere to pee.
04:08South Dakota was similarly deserted, or even worse, as we headed west.
04:11Finally, we reached a desperately needed rest stop, as my five-year-old and I both needed to pee by then.
04:18Just as we pulled in, the truck that had been following us for a while pulled in as well.
04:22I didn't think too much of it at first until I started to open my door.
04:26My head was turned to the right where the truck was parked just a couple of spots over.
04:30My eyes met with the driver's, and I just shivered.
04:33He was a skinny white guy, scraggly gray brown beard, and dark eyes.
04:37I could see that he was wearing a dirty blue plaid shirt.
04:40He got out of his 90s brown and cream truck, and started rummaging in the bed.
04:45I told my husband that I didn't want to go into the rest stop alone because of the guy and the weird feeling that I got from him.
04:51My husband thought that I was being a little silly, but agreed to come with us.
04:55At that point, the next stop was the town of Wall, South Dakota, about 100 miles away still,
05:00according to the huge billboards we'd passed advertising it.
05:03My husband figured he'd better empty his bladder, even though he didn't particularly feel the need.
05:08I grabbed our daughter, and we headed inside, followed by the guy who had been rummaging in his truck and wasn't carrying anything when I glanced back.
05:15My daughter and I did our business in the women's restroom and headed back out into the lobby.
05:19As I expected, my husband was already out there, since he didn't have a small human to chaperone.
05:24The old guy was also in the tiny lobby area.
05:27He was just standing there, staring at my husband.
05:30My husband rushed us back out to our car.
05:32As we were buckling in, he locked the doors.
05:34Then he told me that the guy hadn't even gone to the restroom and was just standing in the lobby the whole time.
05:40He agreed with me that we might have just had a close call, and he was glad that it hadn't just been me and our daughter to go in there.
05:46However, that's not the end of the story.
05:48That 100-mile drive to Wall was pretty easy, with empty landscaping, but a decent number of turn-offs from the interstate.
05:55We didn't see the truck following us and thought that the whole episode was behind us.
05:58Except, when we stopped in Wall to grab lunch and some road snacks, plus look at this fun little tourist trap in the middle of nowhere,
06:05we saw the guy in the store not even 20 feet away from us.
06:08Same face, beard, and dirty plaid shirt.
06:11Thankfully, we'd already eaten, so since he was staring at us again, we quickly paid for our snacks and trinkets and got out of there.
06:17We didn't see him again, but I was seriously creeped out until we reached our relatives in Wyoming safely with no other sight of that man or his truck.
06:24It was about 2000 or 2001, and my best friend and I were 13 years old.
06:40We lived in a small town in rural Minnesota of about 2,000 people.
06:45Out of our friend group, Ur and I were the only two who lived out in the country, farther away from the small town, out in the middle of nowhere.
06:51So, we understood the boredom that could ensue, but the fun things that would come out of it.
06:56Exploring the woods, running around in the cornfields, creating forts, exploring the abandoned house on their property.
07:01It was a really fun time for us.
07:04One day, we decided to take our bikes and ride down some gravel roads.
07:08Her little brother tagged along, and he was probably about 9 or 10 at the time.
07:12We were riding along, laughing, probably picking on her brother, when we saw an old shack out in one of the cornfields.
07:17The corn wasn't fully grown, so we were able to see most of it.
07:21We decided to explore it, because why not?
07:24I'm 33 now, so bear with my memory.
07:26I don't remember much about the episode, but I do remember what I saw inside, and it still gives me the creeps to this day.
07:33We peered inside, and the first thing we noticed were posters on the walls of the room.
07:37They were on every wall.
07:39There was a different person on every poster, and they looked angry.
07:42Some held guns pointed right at you, some were pointing their finger, and it felt like they were pointing right at us with their eyes trained on us.
07:49In the center of the floor was a perfectly painted red circle.
07:52As we were staring at this creepy scene, I felt like we were being watched, and not by the posters.
07:58I looked to my right across the gravel road and into the cornfield across from us.
08:02Standing in the middle of the field was a man.
08:05He was just watching us.
08:06He was not waving his arms, not yelling at us, just watching.
08:09I alerted my friends, and we looked at him together.
08:13I awkwardly waved, and he continued to just stand there and not wave back.
08:17We were sufficiently creeped out, so we jumped onto our bikes to get away.
08:21We were on gravel, which is not easy to bike on, so it took us a while to get going.
08:25We biked away, and I repeatedly turned around to see if he was there and still watching us.
08:29He barely moved, and only turned his body slightly to angle in our direction to keep watching.
08:34I can't get over how he just appeared in the middle of the field like that.
08:37Eventually, once we had biked a good distance away, we saw him start walking away out of our view.
08:43Recently, I've been thinking about this, so my friend, her brother, and I started a group chat.
08:48We all shared what we remembered, and they both recalled it the same way I did.
08:51What I didn't know was that when we went back the next day, everything was gone.
08:55Even the red paint on the floor.
08:57A week later, whoever owned the shack donated it to the fire department to be burned.
09:01I don't know what was going on in that shack.
09:04Some thoughts have been weird rituals, target practice for some militia dude, or just some
09:08creepy guy who had a poor taste in decor.
09:10Whatever it was, it still weirds me out to this day.
09:13This happened at night, in the middle of nowhere, about eight years ago.
09:28It was after 11pm, and I was taking my dogs out for their last bathroom walk before bed.
09:34At the time, I was living in a rural area.
09:36Houses far apart, lots of wooded lots around, with wild pigs often crossing our path.
09:41I would often take long walks, because one of the dogs had a problem with having accidents
09:45in the morning if he didn't have an adequate walk to do all his business.
09:49It was dark, so I had the flashlight, and I was not expecting to meet anyone out in the
09:53middle of nowhere so late at night, but ahead of me appeared on the opposite side of the
09:57road another flashlight.
09:59We had a few neighbors, but of the homes around, I knew most all of them from over the years.
10:04On rare occasions, someone else may be walking a dog, but I could count the times that
10:08that happened on my fingers.
10:09As I passed by the other flashlight at night, I noticed a tall, pale man who I had never
10:15seen before, crossed the street to my side and began to follow behind me.
10:19He yelled out,
10:20Hey, I like your dogs, can I pet them?
10:22I stayed calm, walking briskly and ignoring him.
10:25My house was close, and I was almost home at the end of my walk.
10:29He continued to follow me, yelling,
10:30Hey, what's your name?
10:32I just want to pet your dogs.
10:33He had a thick East European accent.
10:35I ignored him and ran up to my house through the door, locked it, and then ran into my
10:40bedroom.
10:41I told my husband that there was a strange man who had followed me home, and that I was
10:44super disturbed that he knew where I lived.
10:46My brave husband immediately ran out of the house, I guess to find this guy.
10:50I was on pins and needles waiting for him to come back.
10:53He came back home with his steel baseball bat in hand.
10:56He said he had caught up to the guy and asked him who he was and why he was following around
11:00a woman at basically midnight being a creep.
11:03The guy said he was new to town and was walking around hoping to meet people and make some
11:07friends.
11:08Basically, his story was bizarre and totally didn't make sense.
11:11You don't do that at midnight in a rural area in the middle of nowhere.
11:15You do that in a city setting at a normal hour.
11:18My husband told him that if he ever saw him again near our house, he would break his knees
11:22with the baseball bat, and I didn't see him again until two years later in a neighboring
11:26city.
11:27I was out with a girlfriend looking at an art museum when I turned a corner and it was
11:31him.
11:32I could never forget his face.
11:34He looked straight at me, and I can't remember exactly what he said, but I knew who he was
11:38from that night two years ago, which was still very strange.
11:41He said something like, oh, you're the girl from that night with the dogs.
11:44I don't remember what I even said back, because I was in disbelief.
11:48The exact same guy, again with the thick European accent, tall, skinny, and pale.
11:53This time, I had run into him in a public museum, so I can't fault him much since it was a public
11:58place.
11:58But it was still creepy that he remembered me from the dark night two years ago.
12:02I grabbed my friend's arm and quickly walked in the opposite direction, and we left the museum.
12:07I told her the story as we left the museum, and thankfully she understood.
12:11Also thankfully, I never saw him again.
12:14Back when I was in college in Texas, my roommates and I decided to drive to Boulder, Colorado for
12:29spring break.
12:30It was another girl and I, along with our two male roommates.
12:34To maximize our time in Boulder, we decided to take shifts driving and go all the way through
12:38the night rather than stopping for overnight stays.
12:40It was roughly an 18-hour trip, so I was driving my shift when we reached the Texas Panhandle
12:47in the early morning hours.
12:48We were out in the middle of nowhere and had not seen a single car in either direction for
12:52ages when we noticed headlights behind us.
12:55The car came up on us quickly, then followed behind for some time.
12:59Oddly, it would get really close to us, then back off real far, then get close again.
13:04This pattern continued for several miles.
13:06Suddenly, the headlights were joined by red and blue police lights.
13:10It was so dark out there that we had not seen the light bar on the hood and had not realized
13:15we were being followed by a cop.
13:17I checked my speedometer and I was not speeding, so we were all wondering why we were getting
13:21pulled over, but I went ahead and pulled over to the shoulder.
13:24Up came a cop wearing a cowboy hat to my window.
13:27He shined his light in the car and looked us over, then asked me to get out of the car.
13:31I hesitated at first, but there were three other people in the car, so I wasn't feeling
13:35particularly unsafe at this point.
13:38I grabbed my wallet, got out, and stood against the driver's door.
13:41The cop looked at my license and insurance, then told me that he was going to do a sobriety
13:45test.
13:46I was thinking, why would I need to do that?
13:48But I haven't had anything to drink, so I did it anyways.
13:51The way the cop directed me for the walking in a straight line test had me ending my walk
13:55right by his car.
13:55When I finished, he reached over to open his back passenger's door and told me to get
14:00in.
14:00I said, what?
14:02Why?
14:02He said that I should sit in his car while he looked up my license.
14:06Now, I had heard how doors on the back of cop cars can only open from the outside, so
14:10I knew if I got into his car and he closed the door, I wouldn't be able to get out.
14:14It was like 3am in the morning, pitch black darkness, on a road dozens of miles from any
14:18civilization, and I decided I was not getting in that car.
14:22My exact words were, I'm sorry sir, with all respect, and for my own safety, I do not want
14:27to get into the back of your car.
14:28He angrily responded with, what did you say to me?
14:31I repeated my statement again, being as nice as possible about it, and I stayed calm the
14:35whole time.
14:37He went back and forth like this for several minutes, with him being really angry and
14:40threatening to arrest my friends and I and hold us overnight.
14:43Finally, he gave up trying to get me into the back of his car, and he said to me, what
14:47are you afraid of, being kidnapped?
14:48Personally, I thought that was a really strange and messed up thing to say.
14:52I glanced towards my car and saw my friends piled to the back window watching, with the
14:56two guys looking ready to jump out.
14:58The cop turned to look at them too.
15:00I don't know what went through his mind, but after being completely aggressive with
15:04me for what seemed like forever, he finally gave me a creepy smile.
15:07He handed me back my license and insurance, tipped his hat, and then got into his car and
15:12drove off.
15:13He didn't give me a ticket or even mention what I had done wrong or why he had pulled me
15:16over.
15:19At that point, I was shaking so badly that my friends had to help me get back in the
15:21car.
15:22To this day, I think about that cop deciding to terrorize a young college female at 3am
15:26in the middle of rural Texas, and I often wonder what would have happened if I had not
15:30stood my ground and instead gotten inside of his cop car.
15:33I wondered if he would have tried to take advantage of me in the backseat of his car,
15:36and I also wonder if he was even a real cop or not.
15:39When I was a 15-year-old girl, and my best friend, who I will call Aerie, was 14, we had
15:50a scary encounter.
15:52We were huge stoners back then.
15:54We were young, but our whole friend group was skaters, so we ended up smoking a lot.
15:58It had been raining all day, and it was going to be a rainy night as well, and as our friends
16:02were all skaters, it wasn't shocking that nobody wanted to hang out that night.
16:06Wet ground means no skating normally.
16:09Well, Aerie and I still wanted to hang out, so we went out that night to smoke together.
16:14I can't recall if we left our homes and met up, or if we were already together in one
16:17of our homes and went out together.
16:19Either way, we went out and figured which of the many spots for smoking would be the
16:23driest.
16:24We settled on this one at the handball courts of my elementary school.
16:27I'm going to try to describe this spot as best I can.
16:31So, it was a yard to my elementary school with handball courts, and we sat on a bench under
16:35a massive tree.
16:37In front of us was a large concrete slope going down for the teachers to drive up and
16:41park.
16:41We would have to stand up and then walk down the slope in order to exit.
16:45At the bottom of the slope was a bunch of basketball courts, like ten of them, and behind that was
16:50a large playground.
16:51It was public park property stuff, but somewhat connected to the school.
16:55This night was very quiet, and we hadn't seen anybody outside because of the wet weather.
17:00It was our summer break, so adults were likely asleep preparing for work the next day.
17:04We were sitting on this bench smoking and playing music.
17:07I noticed from far away, at the end of the basketball courts and just before the playground,
17:12a huge man was sitting there on a bench.
17:14I could tell from his silhouette that it was a big dude.
17:17I told Aerie, and her being the more reckless of the two told me to relax and that we were
17:21fine.
17:21But me being the really on guard type of person, I could not chill out.
17:25I kept telling her that something wasn't right, and I made her turn off the music.
17:28What was this clearly grown man doing in the wet rainy park at midnight totally alone?
17:34He himself wasn't smoking, he wasn't on his phone, and he was stiffly facing us directly.
17:39He didn't turn his head once our entire session.
17:42I mentioned this all to Aerie towards the end of our session, and she finally agreed
17:45that something was really off.
17:47We were ready to leave though, so we didn't think it was a big deal and would just go.
17:51We kept an eye on the person down the bench as we left.
17:54Now if you recall and understood my description, we had to walk down that slope to exit the
17:58area.
17:59This also meant getting closer to that guy.
18:02We would still be far from him, but closer than we were now, and he would obviously see
18:06the direction we were going for a minute as it was a big slope.
18:09We started heading down the concrete slope, and the whole time Aerie and I were holding
18:13each other's hands tightly.
18:14My eyes didn't leave the guy for even a hair of a second.
18:17I was so focused, but also freaked the heck out.
18:20I kept telling Aerie not to run away and to walk calmly, and I was probably trying to
18:24convince myself at the same time to be honest.
18:27I just felt like if we started running, he would know we were scared.
18:30I can't explain why, but I felt like that would make things worse.
18:34We were not even halfway down the slope when the dude very slowly and stiffly rose up from
18:38the bench.
18:39My eyes were locked onto him, and he was huge.
18:41Then, in one swift movement, he went from totally frozen to darting directly towards us.
18:46I mean, this guy was seriously running, and his legs were so long, his strides were massive.
18:51The second he took off directly for us, Aerie and I dropped our grip from each other and
18:55bolted down the slope into the middle of the road.
18:57We were running and screaming, and all I could imagine was him grabbing one of us.
19:01Like I said, it was totally a wasteland outside that night, so even what was usually a busier
19:06street during the day was so dead so late at night in bad weather.
19:10I'm not sure why, but I guess we telepathically agreed to run towards where our group usually
19:14hung out when we weren't smoking.
19:15The park that was across the street and down the block.
19:18It was a block that we went around the basketball courts, so the entire run we could see the
19:22guy darting towards us and making his way onto the road behind us.
19:25We thought by some small chance we'd see our friends hanging out at the other park, but
19:29we were wrong, and it was deserted.
19:31I could feel both of us becoming exhausted when we realized we probably wouldn't see anyone
19:36for over a mile, and that if we did, it would be by absolute luck on a night like tonight.
19:40We ran and ran until we reached an overpass of a highway that was still empty, but at least
19:45it had more streetlights.
19:46We hadn't looked back for a while now, but when we reached the overpass, we noticed that
19:50the huge guy was gone.
19:51I'm not sure what made him quit.
19:53Maybe he realized we were not to be messed with, or that he underestimated how fast we
19:57were or how far we could run without getting tired.
20:00Maybe he just wanted to scare us.
20:01I'll never know, and I don't really care to know either.
20:14I live in northern British Columbia, Canada.
20:17A couple of years ago, my friend had invited me to come with him, his mom, and his sister
20:21to a resort by a lake an hour and a half or so out of town.
20:25This was the end of June and beginning of July.
20:28The place is called a resort, but it's more like a cabin in the woods type of place.
20:32There's a main log building where you check in, and it has a restaurant, a few log cabins,
20:37and some spots down by the lake for RVs to park in.
20:39There's a highway that you turn off up to the lot where the check-in building is, and
20:43to the right of the highway is forest for miles, as well as everywhere else around that
20:47area.
20:48Around the lake there's some houses and whatnot, but if it isn't a long weekend, there's
20:51not too many people out there.
20:53The cabins and RV area is separate, and the main building is about a 5 to 8 minute walk
20:58away from the cabins up a spiral road.
21:00A little bit past the main building, there's a clearing where you can sit at a couple of
21:04tables, and about 50 feet into the woods past those tables are two small lagoons surrounded
21:09by an old wire fence.
21:11When we got in for the evening, we unloaded the car, got acquainted with the log cabin,
21:15which was nice, and then we went out to explore around.
21:18Not too much interesting stuff happened the first day, as we didn't explore a whole lot
21:22before dark.
21:23Skipped to the next day, and it was cloudy and raining which we were hoping for, as that
21:27meant that there were very few people at the resort, and we'd get free rain over it.
21:31We explored down by the lake and around the cabin areas more thoroughly, and eventually
21:35we made our way up to the clearing where the tables are located.
21:38We looked at the tables to see that they hadn't been touched in what looked like a very long
21:42time from the amount of grass and weeds that was built up around them.
21:45While investigating, I took notice that around 50 feet or so back into the woods, there was
21:49what looked to be a clear area.
21:51We slid down into this ditch-like area which was probably around an 8 foot difference in
21:55elevation from the table area, and trampled through the brush.
21:58We eventually came to this spot which we were pretty sure were lagoons due to the way they
22:02were constructed, and we noticed that there was a wire fence around it.
22:06We tooled around the area looking at the lagoons, and eventually we left, planning to come
22:10back later in the day as it was getting time to eat dinner.
22:12The next day, we went back to that area with the tables, planning to go into the lagoon
22:17area once again, but before we had a chance to go down the ditch, we stopped because of
22:21a noise.
22:22The noise we heard were two small twigs being walked over and snapped in the lagoon and
22:26ditch area we had traveled the previous day.
22:29We stuck around for about 10 minutes or so, until we got hit with an intense feeling of
22:33dread at being attacked by a bear or some other animal that could be walking around in
22:37the lagoon area.
22:38We went back to our cabin where we played poker for the rest of the night.
22:41While playing, we discussed the events that had taken place, and eventually laughed it
22:45off, saying it was probably just a bear passing through or rabbits in the area.
22:49The next day, it was raining heavily and much darker than the past couple of days.
22:54We left our cabin and planned to go to the lagoon area later, but we wanted to chill around
22:58a medium forested area close to the cabins first.
23:01We were messing around in the woods, breaking big sticks on trees.
23:04Suddenly, we had heard what sounded to be someone else doing the same thing about 200 feet
23:08away in the direction we were facing.
23:10It was hard to judge how far exactly it was because the way the forest carries sound, but
23:14it was far in front of us.
23:16At first, we thought it was an echo, but after experimenting a little more, we found out that
23:20it wasn't an echo.
23:22Someone or something out there was also banging sticks copying us.
23:26We wouldn't have cared too much about this until we took notice of where it was.
23:29The entire area around there and beyond was all forested and not near any of the cabins.
23:34Having someone in those forests along with us that far in, and in the less favorable weather
23:39with being very few people at the resort at that time, was unlikely.
23:43We decided to leave the area and come back later during the evening.
23:46So, after leaving the area, we went back around to the lagoon area and listened for a couple
23:50minutes.
23:51We couldn't hear any walking, so we assumed that we were right about it being a passing
23:55forest creature yesterday.
23:57Not even five minutes into us being around the lagoon area, I told my friend to stop moving.
24:01We both stopped and listened.
24:02We heard what sounded to be the footsteps again, but as they were coming in louder and
24:07faster, we got that same overbearing feeling of dread.
24:10We hightailed it out of there spooked, and we booked it back to our cabin.
24:14Later that evening, we returned to the forest clearing area where we had heard the branch
24:18against the tree noise earlier in the day.
24:20We again started smacking branches against trees, this time not hearing anything.
24:24But as I turned to my left, something caught my eye.
24:27There was what appeared to be a person standing behind a tree, and I saw them duck behind it
24:31when they noticed that I noticed them.
24:33I nearly screamed, but I held it in and immediately told my friend that we needed to get out of
24:37there, and we sprinted back to the cabin.
24:39Later that night, while sitting in the locked area where our beds were, we discussed what
24:43had happened the last two days.
24:45The area that I had seen the person was in the exact same area where we had heard the
24:49mimic banging earlier that day.
24:51Also, both days we had been down near the lagoon area and had heard footsteps walking around.
24:55It was very creepy, as there was too much of a coincidence for the person or figure I had
25:00seen to not have been watching us and following where we were going both days.
25:04Very strange activity, as it was a rainy day and night both days that we were out exploring.
25:08We left the next day as our booking had ended, and I was happy that I didn't have to stay
25:12there any longer being constantly watched.
