I read about a book on this site that I read just this very thing. It's titled "The Gift Of Fear". I'm not very far along in it, but one of the first things the author mentions is that the victims had this certain erie gutt feeling about their situation or attacker before the crime. I have had guys yelling out car windows passing on the road, "woot... hey baby!" or the like. But, they are driving by at a normal speed and keep going. Those kind of yahoos don't scare me, or have never given me "the vibe". Couple times on the road, I had a car turn around. That spooked me out, just like this hiker. It's an odd feeling to describe. But it is almost like a pins and needles feeling, or a chill that washes over your body. Even though nothing has happend, "yet", it's time to get out. Thanks for your post.
