Spokane Runner Will Always Hit The Trail Armed After This

By Beth Baumann

At approximately 10:30 a.m. Friday, a woman in Spokane (WA) was running along a popular trail with her dog when a man appeared from behind a tree. The woman, who has asked to be referred to as “Caroline,” says the man chased her for a mile before she was safe.

“The trail goes into a very deep ravine, and it’s very dark in there. And that’s where he came out of the woods at me,” said Caroline. “I was absolutely panicked. I’m not going to lie I was panicked.”

To try and get closer to Caroline, the man began to chase her.

“He started trying to engage me in conversation, asking me where I was parked, could I help him, where did I come from. He was looking for a woman with a backpack,” she said.

Caroline called her husband and didn’t stop running until she made it back to the top of the ravine. As she stood at the top of the ravine, gasping for air, she noticed the man was still coming after her.

“I stood there and straight up from the bushes the guy came. Literally he had been right behind me,” she said. “He chased me for a mile.”
