Does this person or do you take pictures at the event? After all this is the "Main Photography Forum".

I think safety issues related to photography would qualify, Bebu.
A lot of good ideas here. I really lie the part about volunteering to run the next event.
Maybe this person is slightly observing you, to get pointers.
Maybe this person is watching trying to stay out of the way.
Maybe this person's mannerisms are too much like yours.
Maybe it's kinda spooky to see this one person all the time.
Maybe you should act friendly at/ after the event, mention the frequent sightings, and ask for friendly suggestions. You might have a new friend.

Cancelling is a good choice. Everyone should read "The Gift of Fear by Gavin Dr Becker. Excellent book about "gut" feelings!
I would take a photograph of this person as often as you can and make sure he sees you doing so also get some of your friends to do the same. Most people will be bothered by this and either approach you or disappear from the scene.

Yes I am planning to ask for confirmation from people.
If I don't get responses back I will cancel it.
Is there a fee for the event
If so get it up front to encourage attendance.

No it was nothing like that.
As I mentioned this person has not done wrong at the events.
There had been some email responses that have made me question them.
As an example I had to cancel one of the events due to lack of attendance. This person"s response to the cancellation expressing their disapointment came across like this event was their entire life.
Perhaps it is a highlight of their life.
I know what you mean. Definitely go with a friend. As a side note, if you're organizing events at which virtually no one shows up, maybe you should reconsider organizing them.

Or perhaps a different way to spend your time.
Since you are the organizer you might stipulate that you require more than one person sign up in order for the event to take place. If only one person signs up then reschedule until you have more than one attendee. Trust your gut!
There was a whole week devoted to this type situation in one of my ethics classes at seminary a few years ago. Never though about this happening until then or how often it could happen to a priest. The class subject was, "interpersonal communications" and was written about by a monk named Frans Jozef Van Beeck. It was part of a paper he had written on "Devine Revelations". The instructor zeroed in on pages 29 - 30. I found it on Wikipedia at one time.
Go with your gut. Safety first!
