Question: A sudden rustling noise startles the hiker as he explores a remote forest. He turns around to see a man emerging from the bushes. "Oops, wrong trail," the man says with a sheepish smile. He then retraces his steps and disappears into the wilderness. The hiker, feeling uneasy, decides to take precautionary measures. What made the hiker suspicious of the man?
