A Deer in the Woods true scary story

WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:10.320
All right, this one takes place
in Wisconsin, and this actually comes to

2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:15.880
trouvea an officer in the Department of
Natural Resources. Okay, So, while

3
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:20.679
working for the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources in twenty seventeen, I was assigned

4
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:26.440
to investigate science of a particular deer
in the South Kettle Moraine State Forests along

5
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:32.520
the Ice Age National Scenic Trip.
The descriptions suggested the deer suffered from chronic

6
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.520
wasting disease. There were three different
reports, each stating that the deer was

7
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:43.479
malnourished, severely injured, and had
a terrible odor. My first thought was

8
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:48.399
the deer had been wounded and that
gang green had probably set in. The

9
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.560
part of the trail where the deer
was reported was difficult to access to the

10
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.280
vehicle, so I ended up hiking. The sightings were near one of the

11
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.840
public shelters. The most recent report
was made about twenty four hours prep.

12
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:06.319
I reached the shelter just this thunderstorm
again to roll in. I looked around

13
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.280
quickly for the deer, but the
rain started to fall heavily and decided to

14
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.879
wait it out in the shelter.
The shelters of this area of the park

15
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:19.519
are worst are more like little cabins
and used by backpackers. Took off my

16
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:25.439
backpack and set down. I would
soon overcome by the stench of rotting flesh

17
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.840
came out of nowhere. It was
so strong that I was nearly gagging.

18
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.879
I looked around the interior of the
shelter see if I could find the source.

19
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.599
Then I thought I saw something move
past the doorway, but when I

20
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.719
peeked outside, there was something.
The stench then disappeared as quickly as it

21
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.400
had manifested. I waited in the
shelter for maybe about another thirty minutes.

22
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.319
The store kind of let up,
but the stints suddenly returned. I didn't

23
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.040
know what was going on about it. There was something terribly wrong. Can

24
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:59.000
explain how I knew. I just
knew, and then heard something scraped against

25
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.799
the side of the shelter. It
was loud. I looked out through the

26
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:06.920
window and I saw it looks like
to be white antlers. Now that didn't

27
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.199
make any sense at all. It
was early summer here Wisconsin's and bucks don't

28
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:15.840
start growing their antlers until much later
in the season. If they were early,

29
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.840
they would still be covered with felt. I feared this must to be

30
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.800
the injured deer, and it certainly
smelled like it was on the death's door.

31
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.199
Tried to get a bare looked out
of the window, but the animal

32
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:30.000
appeared to do we moving towards the
door of the shelter. Whatever it was,

33
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.919
I was about to see it soon
enough could it shake the feeling that

34
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:38.599
there was something off about this whole
situation. I roved the gun twelve gage

35
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:45.039
loaded with slugs I had packed to
dispatch the deer. I pointed at the

36
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.960
door and I waited. The doorway
was stark because of the store, but

37
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.719
I could still see well enough to
know the creature that walked into view wasn't

38
00:02:53.960 --> 00:03:00.439
an old injured deer. It's about
twice the size of a full grown male

39
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:07.199
white tail, and its body was
absolutely skeletal. Its fur was long and

40
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.039
straight, like the kind of long
hair you find out a dog. The

41
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.400
parts were missed fur completely. But
the worst part was the head was like

42
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:22.960
a skull, no hair, barely
any skin, just boning with antlers attached.

43
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.560
And then seeing the eyes in the
sockets, I could see it had

44
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.599
a tongue in its jaw, and
its teeth looked like those of a deer,

45
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.840
but the lower jaw didn't appear to
hanging on by much. I didn't

46
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:38.360
know what the thing was. I
was standing there in that dark, rain

47
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:43.360
soaked doy and I fired at it. I hit that creature of three times

48
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.879
center mass and it ran away.
It's weird because it didn't fall down and

49
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.199
the faulter where it ran. I
waited another hour for the stone to pass

50
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.919
ride before hiking out of there.
I have never been so scared of my

51
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.560
life. It was a shotgun.
Couldn't stop it. There was nothing I

52
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.520
could do. I ran into it
again. I finally reached my truck.

53
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.599
I have no idea what to report
to my boss. I eventually decided to

54
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.479
report that I never saw the deer. I thought if I reported the truth,

55
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.560
you would raise red flags about my
confidence. A lot longer after that,

56
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:21.759
I found another position within the department
as a conserracial war That is a

57
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.279
deer that I would not want to
mess with. So well, again,

58
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:30.240
we have this really tall deer.
Something otherworldly about it, something that immediately

59
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:36.120
being in the yeah yo surrounding that
put them at ill at ease. Yeah,

60
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.279
the lights in my studio are going
crazy. It's scary. It was

61
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.720
the pain attention. I don't know
why it doesn't come through. I don't

62
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.160
see it enough. I think it's
just mine. Maybe it's my end.

63
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.639
I don't that is he reminds you
of that video. I played this computer

64
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.639
game when I was a kid.
I don't remember. It would have been

65
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:57.279
forever a gift where the deer were
hunting the people. It was like silly,

66
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.879
right, like they'd try to lure
the human there with adult beverages,

67
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.120
silly stuff. This is like real
life, like the deer is hunting the

68
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.199
version whatever this thing is. You
know what's weird. It didn't seem to

69
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.560
have any mallets towards him, like
it was just observing him, and he

70
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.079
reacted because of the weird feeling he
got. Maybe, but he got the

71
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.560
filling and was kind of praying on
him a little bit right, maybe,

72
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:24.959
so he saw the thing that he
was like, this shouldn't exist, and

73
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.680
he fired at it. Now,
this was the first guy to be on

74
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:33.040
foot near it when he saw it, and he reported to stench. I

75
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.319
have seen other stories. There are
more than they see three stories about this

76
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:42.279
thing, and some others have mentioned
the stench also. So a consistent feeling

77
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.399
with all these stories of is it's
very tall, spindly looking limbs and smelly,

78
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:56.480
real smelly sound bitch real Smellyson,
but also this feeling of other worldly

79
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.199
kind of dread just being around it. A lot of people are picking up

80
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.480
on the smell. Somebody even brought
up, didn't a deer what deer and

81
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.839
odor? Isn't that from the Steers
story that you guys shared, We did

82
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.040
talk about an elk and an odor? Right, Yeah, there was an

83
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.720
elkut odor. Now you mentioned they
talked about like a giant elk and the

84
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.279
smell of rotted meat. Yeah,
I bet there's so many stories of this.

85
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.319
Like people are just like, well, I saw this, saw that.

86
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.800
Describe that visual of the jaw again, How did he ward that again?

87
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.360
He described the jaw as being just
barely hanging on. Yeah, a

88
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.439
lower jaw. Someone said, skinwalker
thought of sounds like right, you know

89
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.000
what, A lot of skinned walker
stories do sound like that too, So

90
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.040
yeah, that's definitely a possibility.
Uh. Like I said, all these

91
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.920
these deer stories though they kind of
have like this, and that first one

92
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:53.000
doesn't necessarily describe it as a deer. Dad like the sand legs up front,

93
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.800
and he described it being very tall
next to his thing, and it

94
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.439
was kind of like looking around and
like a deer kind of does that?

95
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.600
You know? Oh yeah, so
like in my head that sounds like a

96
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.920
deer. I saw that story first, and then I kind of sound these

97
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.800
otherwise. I was like, wait, this has some similarities to that one,

98
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.959
and like all these days are really
tall twice the size of a deer,

99
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.399
which would be about eight feet tall? Is that one guy first ed

100
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:24.639
described? And uh yeah, thin
legs? So does it make you want

101
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:29.040
to go hunting or fishing? I
actually always want to go fishing, but

102
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.279
uh I've always had this thing where
I would love to go cryptied hunting,

103
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.639
you know, not you know hunting
looks gun but trying honey with bitcoin?

104
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.639
What does that mean? No?
Like parentcia, honeywhere you say what you

105
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.800
would you say? Cryptid? Like
created looking up? Yeah, looking for

106
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.279
like you know, bigfoot or something
like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

107
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.399
yeah I don't that's I don't believe
in bigfoot, but I would love

108
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.920
to go bigfoot hunting. Do you
not believe in? Okay, and I'm

109
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:56.560
telling you, I'm trying to think
of had a word this. Do you

110
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.639
not believe in bigfoot? Or do
you not believe in foot? Does that

111
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:01.680
make any sense? On wording?
You there, I just don't know what

112
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.839
you're going for. So, like, it's not that I don't believe people

113
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.759
aren't seeing things. I just don't
believe it's Harrying the Henderson style bigfoot.

114
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.920
That's a pretty good that's actually pretty
good visual. I mean it's possible,

115
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:16.680
right, there's stuff out there.
We don't know what it is till there's

116
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.120
definitely things out there we don't know. Uh, And like, so these

117
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:26.120
things might be not necessarily animal kingdom
related. They might be some sort of

118
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.279
something old or something more primal.
So like, if it's not necessarily that

119
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:37.360
it's like an ape, but it
might be something else out there. Let

120
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.759
me let me, let me paint
a picture for you here. Let's say

121
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.919
you're walking your cat one night or
dog. It doesn't only matter you're walking

122
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.840
your dog down a dark street,
you know little woods nearby? And and

123
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.200
uh, which version of this story
is most scary if it jumped like all

124
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.639
three stories that you shared, which
version would you least one encounter? And

125
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:03.480
why the second or the one with
the like almost he described as almost like

126
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.039
spider like legs because they invent in
all different directions, and what would you

127
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.159
do? What would you and your
cat deer dog? Do you? Well?

128
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.879
All right, so I would run
because it's not a side arm if

129
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.440
it's not on you though, yeah, I don't have a side arm on

130
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.279
me. I don't have a carry
permit. He'd run, eh, Yeah,

131
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.600
I would do because like a deer, though, I might catch you.

132
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.600
Yeah, if it's maybe it's something
also with long legs, it will

133
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.039
definitely catch you, right, Yeah, But I will at least try I

134
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.240
get a little bit closer to safety
if I can. Someone said they'd be

135
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.159
scared of somebody walking their cat.
I've seen the cat walking though I've actually

136
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.360
seen this. Though you've never seen
somebody walking their cat epsy, you know.

137
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.759
I will say, though, I
have this theory about the people who

138
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.799
live down the road from me.
I just get wives. I think they

139
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.000
might be aliens because they act like
people in the sense that they are pretending

140
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:01.799
to be normal. Like it's not
like constantly staring at them or whatever.

141
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.039
You got a teddy bear, you
could do that, but like you know,

142
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.000
I go outside and know, like
get the mail or something, and

143
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:15.600
they'll be doing things that seem like
normal human activities. But slightly wrong and

144
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.240
like trying too hard, like this
is the felt like they're trying too hard

145
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.759
to do this. Yeah, it's
almost like they're putting on a show of

146
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.360
doing these things. So they've been
doing it for like a couple of years

147
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.080
now. It's very strange. The
waves, the acknowlogy, like never once

148
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.399
there's like on the grass without them
over on like I mean, you've got

149
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.039
a levery or like, I don't
know, it's weird to watch people sweep

150
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.759
their sidewalk, Like I don't see
people do that very often. They're bore

151
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:48.120
gamn proud of that side one or
constantly shooting their basketball at the hoop over

152
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.799
and over again but constantly missing,
but never stopping doing it or moving from

153
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.600
that spot. No, the same
spot. Yeah, it's a keep going

154
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.879
back to the exactly as one.
When they get the ball, they shoot

155
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.600
again, it miss over and over. You never seem to actually, so

156
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:05.200
they don't catch it like they're out
of the goal and like make it shorter.

157
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.559
They go right back to the spot. It's very strange. We need

158
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.360
we need video evidence of this.
Well, anyway, they do a few

159
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.919
other things like that, and uh, anyway, I don't know they might

160
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.200
be aliens. I think they are. If you're listening out there, feel

161
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.759
free to join and try to slide. You're his neighbors and let us know

162
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:33.240
if aliens or not. Now we
all have to know. Jeff Townsend Media

163
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.960
sees you. Good night, And
the question is do I stay here?

164
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:43.039
Will you be back? Are you
gonna come back? Will you be back?

165
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:43.960
Are you coming back?
