3 Great Smoky Mountains Hikers Who Realized Their Partner Wasn't Human

Three true hiking horror stories from the Great Smoky Mountains about encounters with something that could imitate people, voices, and even familiar faces — but couldn't quite understand what it meant to be human. True scary stories from the Great Smoky Mountains. Hikers encounter something in the woods that copies footsteps, repeats private conversations, and eventually appears wearing the face of someone they love. Three hikers. Three encounters. One question — what exactly was watching them?

When the hiker decided to leave him behind, Weston turned away before he had even moved. Later, there was no record of Weston anywhere on the trail. Priya and her hiking partner heard a man's voice outside their shelter in the middle of the night. It knew Priya's name and repeated something she'd said at dinner. Then they heard slow breathing coming from the solid wall behind them. In the morning, there were no footprints. Naomi and her hiking partner had been together for six years when he saw what looked exactly like Naomi standing in the trees. Her clothes, pack, hair, and posture were perfect — but her face wasn't behaving like a human face. The real Naomi was somewhere else. Then he remembered the strange amber rings he'd seen in her eyes in a photograph taken earlier that day. Three hikers. Three encounters. Something was learning how to imitate them.
