"I could hear footsteps through the forest floor, coming from behind and slightly above us. I leaned forward and told her to pick up her speed. She did, I did, but so did whoever was behind us. A few days went by, and the sheriff showed up to let me know that we were not imagining things and someone really did chase us... He looked down at the ground and then looked up, and said, ‘I'm not going to tell you what we found or who it was because if I do, you will never hike anywhere again.'"
