Hawaii hiker says she followed a 'voice' down an unfamiliar trail. Then she got lost for 17 days

The 35-year-old physical therapist, who had a whole day to herself, figured she's go for a 3-mile hike and spend a couple hours in the woods.

"I don't really know what happened," she said Tuesday morning, speaking to reporters while in a wheelchair. "All I can say is that ... I have strong sense of internal guidance, whatever you want to call that -- a voice, Spirit, everybody has a different name for it.

"My heart was telling me walk down this path, go left. Great. Go right. It was so strong."

She said it turned out to be not nearly as strong when after meditating on a log she wanted to go back to her car.

She tried one path and it didn't get her back to her car. She tried another. No luck. And another.

She came to the realization she wasn't on a human path; she was on a boar path.

"At that point I had no choice because everything looked the same I said the only thing I have is my gut. I don't have a compass. I don't have a cell phone," she said. "So, Spirit, or whatever you want to pray to, I said I need your help right now."

She said she listened to her sense of guidance, which instead of taking her back to her car, took her on a 5-mile journey, one she called a "spiritual boot camp."

Sounds like the kind that says, “I’m not a religious person but I am a spiritual person”.

Seventeen days? The island isn’t that big! I think she wanted to stay lost. Sounds like she is lost in the larger sense....

Reminds me of that movie of that dissociated liberal woman professor making a report on a rare Orchid in the Everglades but “getting lost” with a weird dude growing a tropical drug there, both doing and selling the drug while doing porn flics to sell. She was living a double life in two different personalities that were compartmentalized.

I spend a lot of time reading up on folklore, probably because I’m American Indian and we have a lot of it. It’s not just Hawaii, almost every culture has stories of “little people” who will lead you astray generally deep into perilous forests if you follow their voices. It seems like “don’t follow strange voices (or lights) into the woods” is pretty much a given. I’m generally a rational guy, but I had two close relatives who said they saw the little people, and I saw enough weird stuff on the reservation during by brief time living there that I don’t completely rule them out. That said, you don’t even have to believe in such things to take that warning as sound advice. . . even if the voices are coming from your own head, you’re probably crazy and shouldn’t trust them.

Yes, she is loony, but those sores on her swollen feet at 0:48 don't look fake.

She didn’t take a full wardrobe of clothes, hats, jewelry shoes, etc. like Ginger and Mr. and Mrs. Howell, though. Too hard to carry on a hike.
