PSA to female hikers at Blacklick Woods
Idk if this will even reach anybody and PLS tell me if I’m overreacting, but apparently there’s a man out at Blacklick woods that likes to follow women around the park. I was out at 8 am this morning to bird watch when I bent over to tie my shoe on the Beech trail where a road cuts across the trail. Some guy stopped his car in the middle of the road and just watched me tying my shoe. He then proceeded to park somewhere nearby and follow me into the woods. He caught up while I was sitting on a bench and he decides to sit next to me on said bench. Had his phone open but was just looking at me the whole time. I got up to leave and shortly after, I heard him get up and start walking behind me again as well. Again, I could absolutely be misreading something or making a situation where there isn’t one, but something about that experience did not feel right at all and it made the hairs on my neck stand up.
EDIT:
He was a black man that looked to be in his 20s. Around 5’9 to 5’10 maybe? White and beige checkered Sherpa hoodie.
He drove a small white car that looked like maybe a fiat or something similar? It was smart car shaped, but definitely not a smart car.
