Weird guy near creekview

Just an fyi, idk if others have had this experience.

I was walking home late on the forest path that leads to creekview apartments, by the river, and a guy was standing behind a tree near that area people smoke at, next to the bridge. I thought maybe he was just smoking cause I saw a lighter. He started following me, like walking directly behind me, so I started talking to the person I was on the phone with about my whereabouts just in case, that way he knew I wasn’t “alone.” After he heard me talking he asked if I had tobacco and if I needed a walk home.

He looked white, blonde/brown hair, kinda tall, with some stubble. Said he had a “camp just down there,” pointing to the forest. Kept saying no and he just walked off into the forest, I went the opposite way.

Thank god I was on the phone with someone. I guess don’t walk in that area at 11pm alone.
