Person who attended events

Hello,
I organize photo events. There is someone who attends just about all the events and travels almost two hours to attend them. This person has done nothing wrong or has caused any problems. I have no idea why but this person makes me feel very uncomfortable.
I have an event coming up which I am sure this person will attend. As an organizer I ask for conformation from people that they are attending. The problem is even with asking for conformation from people I can never be sure who will actually show up to the event except for this person.
My concern for this up coming event is that I may end up being alone with this person and not find out until I am right at the event. Part of the area we would be going to may be on the deserted side.
I spoke to a few friends about my feeling uncomfortable. They told me to trust my gut. My gut tells me to stay away from this person.
Anyone have input?
Thank you

Yes thank you. I did ask. Unfortunately no one I know was available on that day.

I know that feeling. In January of 1968, I met this girl. We always had a good time when we saw each other but there was something about her that made me a little nervous. In June we will be married 50 years. I still have this gut feeling. Do you think I should have trusted my gut or taken things as they unfolded?

I am planning to email everyone who registered if they are attending. But again I have found out I can't count on that. I had this event before .Fifteen people registered and then two showed up.
It wouldn't be an issue if this event was down a main street.

You may have acquired a stalker; or maybe just someone who is interested in you but is too shy to approach you. But, if your gut tells you to stay away from them, that is probably a wise choice.

I am not that far behind you. This year is my 40th.
It has crossed my mind that this person is interested in me.
I have gotten feelings like this about people in the past and they usually turned out to be right.

If no one can go with you, could you cancel the event? I think you should trust your feeling on this.

Yes I am planning to ask for confirmation from people.
If I don't get responses back I will cancel it.

Go to the event. Take a small portfolio of shots of this person at similar events and when you see them offer them a copy of the portfolio that you had a friend put together for that person, since you noticed their interest in the subject.
You've now notified them that they are identified by others BUT done it in a way that is not ugly.
Downside is if by some chance they are interested in you, and not the subject, you've made it worse............

I acquired a stalker as well in the past. She would call me at work and on my cell phone. I blocked her and changed my cell. It was very freaky. The best you can do is have people around who you can depend upon. Don't forget to treat them to lunch too. I eventually got rid of that stalker by acting "weird" and talking gibberish. It took about a week after a month of telling that person to leave me alone.
It is easier to be normal and act bizarre than to be strange acting normal.
