Little People in Cedar Mountains
This encounter is in reference to the popular urban legend of Little People. These little humans are said to be living in hiding. Usually, they have been spotted by hikers that were going off-trail in deep woods. Have you ever come across a similar entity?
I was never a fan of hiking. But my cousin somehow convinced me to get on a hiking trip, with his then-girlfriend. It was mid-October, and we decided to go on a trail across the Cedar mountains. Now, I was well aware of the local buzz, around the urban legends of little people living in these Cedar mountains. I generally shrugged off such claims as false rumors to attract visitors. But that wasn't the case with my cousin's girlfriend. She believed in them. And was on the lookout for such peculiar claims. She had heard about some hauntings along the Cedar Mountain trails and wanted to experience them. She kept telling us that people have felt the presence of something around them while they were hiking across Wyoming's most haunted mountains. This surely made me and my cousin a little uncomfortable, but she kept telling us, that none of the hikers were harmed by them.
When we got there, it was all fine until the afternoon. We reached near the caves and decided to rest. Now, I was against this decision. Not that I believe in the claims of little people residing in those caves, but I had read that many people had gone missing in those caves. Yes. Many adventurous hikers have actually tried to explore the caves and have never found their way out. And I was worried that his girlfriend, whose name was Katie by the way, would also want to explore them. But I didn’t want to come off as a pussy. So I decided to stay quiet and hoped that she doesn’t suggest that we all go in and explore them.
As we set everything up for an afternoon break from the long hike, she went near the caves to explore them from the outside. I had warned my cousin, Phil, that I won’t be going in, even if they both decided to go. He agreed and we sat for lunch. A while later, Katie joined us and sat down to eat with us. She faced her back to the caves and asked us if they see anything behind her. She even warned us to not make it obvious, that we were looking past her.
Now, on a positive note, there was no one visible around, but her asking us about it gave us the creeps. We knew something was up. She asked us to not make any panic movements. Instead, she asked us to eat quickly, and get hydrated as much as possible. We were going to make a move at the earliest. After finishing our lunch and packing everything back in our bags, we kept asking her what was up. But she asked us to wait and keep checking for any movements around us. Luckily there were none yet. It was an hour-long walk back to where we started.
We started our way back, and she kept pretending that she was vlogging with her front camera. While in reality, she kept checking if anyone was following us. After the caves were out of sight, she started narrating the entire incident to us. We kept listening in awe. She said that when she was near the caves, she had heard some footsteps. Assuming those to be of a tiny animal, she tried to follow it as quietly as possible. She followed it until she reached the entrance of a cave. She tried to look into the dark cave but the visibility was low. She could see something move quickly along the wall and disappear into the darkness. Luckily, she was smart to not follow it inside the cave and decided to back off. Before leaving, she tried to click a picture on night-sight mode, just in case, she could spot something there. Now, you know that it takes a few seconds for the image to process the darkness and light it up. So she stood there and waited until it finished processing.
As the image took its form, she could see multiple pairs of eyes staring back at her from inside the caves. They were short in height, but many. The shape of the body was slightly visible among the ones standing close. And they looked like little humans. Just so you know, she mentioned that she was completely unaware of the claims of little people living in the caves. But she acted calm as if nothing had happened. She slowly made her way back to where we were sitting. And prayed that no one attacks her from the back.
That day, we made it back alive. But had she acted any differently, maybe our fate would’ve been completely different. Certain people do not like to be disturbed, and it is in everyone’s best interest to leave them alone. There are in fact certain small skeletons uncovered from the Cedar mountains. And I hope that no one ever encounters them again. Also, next time we choose to go on a trip, it’ll be in a place with no horror history.
Very few people have lived to tell the tale of their encounter with Little People. It is claimed that these Little People do not like visitors. They might turn hostile if they notice that you have seen them. So always stay on the trail, and stay vigilant.
