Witness Followed by CANINE-HEADED 'NOT-DEER' in Tennessee's Appalachian Mountains

A former Appalachian Mountain resident describes his encounter with an odd-acting and strange-looking doe while hiking in the mountains near his home.

I received the following account:

"I have a story about the 'Not Deer' from two summers ago. I lived deep in the Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee at the time, unlike the foothills I’m in now. I was wandering in the woods, probably two-thirds of a mile from my house at that point, as one does when they live two miles down a twisting dirt road with the nearest town (and therefore things to do) thirty minutes away when I heard brush moving. I knew it was probably a harmless animal, a possum, or a deer, maybe a particularly destructive rabbit, and I turned to look. It was a deer.

It was about thirty feet away from me, staring. Wild deer don’t stare at random people, to begin with. They just ran away. This doe was breathing hard and making a low rumbling sound. I didn’t really know what to do, and I hadn’t really thought about the dangers of going near wild animals even if they are “harmless” deer, so I went towards her.

I swear to God, this thing’s eyes blanked out and it took a couple jerking steps forward, moving really strangely? And I flinched, and then she ran off to the side while staring at me until she was about fifty feet away. It was deeply unsettling in a way that I can’t explain and I know that that thing was not quite a deer. I sprinted all the way home.

I would say that the joints went the wrong way. The bends were not where the bends go. And the shape of the face and head was wrong, more in the shape of a dog. It was just very odd-looking, and the way it reacted to me was disturbing. I started to walk away, but the doe followed me for about 2 miles on the trail. It stayed at a distance of about 50 feet. After about 45 minutes of this, she suddenly disappeared.

I have family that still live in the mountains and they have described a variety of strange things. But the 'Not Deer' is one phenomenon that they don't like to discuss." H
