Creepy dam exploration at night gone wrong

I wanna say a year or 2 ago, me, my friend Joe, and his friend Michael, and another friend of theirs named raven, the 4 of us went to this old abandoned dam in otay Eastlake area. It was really dark. Only the lights of the city in the distance really...

So we descended the rocks into the wet area below the dam and it was cool looking, lots of flowing water and stuff. Amd then we climbed to the other side of the dam and we climbed up top and there was like this canal space on the other side with lots of graffiti and spray pain cans that we messed around woth for a little bit.

But this is where stuff started to go wrong.

So we see this soft blueish white light a little ways away from us. Like down and away from the dam kind of, amd across the pond. It seemed like a lantern and someone was just sitting there holding it. I think we might have seen in when we entered the site too. Whoever the person was, they were sitting in the tall grass next to the pond, about 30 feet away from where we parked our car.

We were kind of just joking around about the light and I think we might have even yelled hi to them from on top of the damn or something. Im not sure why we werent more creeper out by it. Because this person was just sitting there with nothing but a little lantern, with no vehicle, nothing. We couldnt even see who they were. All we could tell was that it appeared to be someone swaying a lamp around.

So anyway we began to make our way back up the rocks amd to the trail towards our car but raven lost her phone so we spent like an hour there searching for it. We never found it. It was probably like 1 am by the time we left, and I dont remember if we saw the lantern in the brush near our car when we got back but I think we might have, because we were creeped out by that point.

Whoever that was, they were sitting there, in complete darkness, alone, for hours. Just watching us.
