Okay, so I have no idea what we saw that night.

I've searched everywhere for sightings or even myths around the area where we saw it, and I've found nothing.

If anyone has any idea what we saw, or if anyone else has seen it, please let me know.

My husband and I think it could be a Wendigo, but I'm not sure. I haven't

heard anyone else say they've seen anything like it in Red River Gorge. I guess I want help

figuring out what we saw and what to do. After the night I'm about to describe, I think we've

had a few close encounters with it since. My friends and I go camping a lot,

and my favorite place is Red River Gorge, Kentucky. We go there often, and I've been going

ever since I was an infant. I'm 28 now, married with a kid, and I still go. It's the closest

place to where I live where you can see the Milky Way on almost every clear night.

It's perfect for star gazing, and I see a shooting star nearly every time I'm there.

When we go without our kid, we'll night hike to a good lookout point and stargaze

for hours.

Our first experiences night hiking were on trails we knew well, and that were used frequently

during the day,

ones with log fences and gazebo resting places. The most used trail is in Natural Bridge State

Park and leads up to the Natural Bridge. It's around two miles uphill, depending on where you start.

I've done this trail every summer of my life and could do it blindfolded.

It has wooden steps, carved rock steps, log handrails, and multiple sitting areas under a roof,

plus trash cans. But after you reach the main trailhead, there are no lights at all. While it is uphill, the difficulty level is low.

As long as you have good shoes and water, you'll be fine.

My friends have done it with me multiple times and are confident with it too.
