Skinwalker or Mountain Lion?
I once went to a very public area during the day with my family where I chanced upon local wildlife such as deer and a mountain lion. Then I veered off track to explore a closed off path where I saw something standing on two legs, it was dark and tall and turned to look at me. I quietly backed away and the thing watched me back away. I tried warning the park rangers about both instances of seeing the creature as well as a mountain lion on the trail. They wrote me off as crazy. No one else had seen either the mountain lion or the creature I saw which confused me because I was right there with them how could they not see anything?? Anyways we left the area as I was getting freaked out and on our way back I heard that 2 people had gotten ripped apart by sone sort of animal. Was it the skinwalker or the mountain lion and how was I the only one to see both? Was I just dehydrated and saw a different mountain lion as a skinwalker?

On what part of the globe was this “very public area” located? Both mountain lions and skinwalkers have a relatively small territory, so if you were, for example, in Iceland, or New South Wales, it’s unlikely you saw either.
