Monster "lures" hikers off path in woods

Hikers "lured" off path in woods see a transparent thing hunting them

Cloaking is used in war and hunting.

They barely escaped to tell the tale, though this video is of Montgomery Woods just for atmosphere. Reddit is filled with wild stories, and this one is one of them.

A group of hikers in San Bernardino National Forest [just east of Los Angeles County] went off trail during a hike when the leader of their group thought she heard a woman calling out in distress (though none of the other hikers did).

They quickly became disoriented, losing track of where they were, as well as experiencing dizziness and other strange sensations. 

Hopelessly lost as night set in, one hiker was shocked to discover some "thing" climbing in the tree above her head. It was shaped like a human but was oddly transparent, like “heat waves on a pavement.”

They watched it for several minutes before noticing that all other sounds in the forest had stopped. When it began climbing again, they decided to get out of there. They were shocked to discover they were right back on the trail within minutes!

Do not go into this house.

Read all the gory details below. Was it a rakshasa, alien, skinwalker, woodland monster, shapeshifter, yaksha, djinn? Bigfoot (Sasquatch or the Native American soul-stealing beast "Tahquitz")? Some kind of weird forest spirit?

Or is it possible that what we think of as these disparate sorts of experiences are, in fact, the same thing after all? Maybe UFOs aren’t from outer space but from some sort advanced or supernatural terrestrial [or subterranean] group.

Perhaps the reason that both UFOs and Bigfoot-like creatures [are often sighted together and] are so difficult to both spot and photograph is because they, too, have these invisibility or cloaking capabilities.

Maybe the strange things that folks find in the woods, the creatures no one has seen and the voices [like the many inexplicable "Sierra Sounds" recordings of Sasquatches] that no one should respond to, are all part of this same, massive unknown. Source

Hair raising first-hand Bigfoot encounter. They're a kind of human, too.

"It makes the mind race that we have structures [newly discovered and publicized in Saudi Arabia] as big as five to six football fields, made of thousands of tonnes of stone, that not only cover such as massive geographic region but that also are 7,000 years old," Thomas, who co-directs AAKSAU, told the outlet.
