1
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:09.640
All right, So this one takes
place in Southern California, which quite a
2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.800
bit of ways from Michigan, where
we were last time, and this is
3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:18.600
called the South California, not Deer. I commute for my job. It's
4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.839
a retail job, but I live
in a rural area in the southern California
5
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:29.120
foothills and is currently my only option. I drive home every night year one
6
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:33.240
am. I take the highway that
always deserve these sives, and some nights
7
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:38.840
were more peculiar than others, but
nothing so extreme as this incident. It's
8
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.719
not uncommon for me to see a
lot of wildlife on these tribes. I
9
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.600
would take it slow and be alert, occasionally see a black tailed deer,
10
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.679
coyotes, raccoon, et cetera.
One recent night, it was only about
11
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.719
ten minutes away from home. I
rode up to the usual four way stop
12
00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:00.560
there stopped at a hundred times before
now, so around came to a complete
13
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.879
stop. I saw something standing just
off by side of the road, across
14
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.760
the intersection. It was obviously an
animal. It was headed toward road,
15
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.719
so it's got a way for it
to cross. Took me a second to
16
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.439
really comprehend what it was. At
first I thought it was a horse,
17
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.519
which, although dangerous, wouldn't be
that uncommon for where I lived due to
18
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:27.560
irresponsible ranchers and they're constantly broken fences. Then, as I started to make
19
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.040
out what what was it neared light
of the headlights, I realized something was
20
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.000
very raw with this animal. It
was tall, so much so the legs
21
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:45.480
looked still like. As I sat
there shocked, it slowly stepped onto the
22
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.400
road and came across by a car
as direct beam of a headlight. At
23
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.239
this point I realized two thousanys.
One. It was much taller than my
24
00:01:53.359 --> 00:02:00.159
car. Its height was monstrous.
Two Its gate was very odd, almost
25
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.879
like I didn't know how to properly
walk as a deer should. It was
26
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.680
like all the joints wanted to bend
the wrong way. It moved slowly into
27
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.080
the uncoming lane, and that swiveled
its head to look back at me.
28
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.840
All the hair on my body rose. What spooked me the most was that
29
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.240
there was certainly a deer, or
at least something that looked like one.
30
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.400
They looked normal every way except for
the spiral like legs that was standing on.
31
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.479
At this point, I gassed the
guitar and The deer stood unmoving as
32
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.639
my car spit by. I looked
in my rear of y ear kind of
33
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.039
glimpsed of it crossed the oncoming lane
back into the shoulder of the highway,
34
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.879
illuminated red by my blake brake lights. When I got home, I ran
35
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.599
into my house and locked myself in. I was still understandably freaked out.
36
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.639
That's terrifying. They're all definitely really
want you to know how tall this thing
37
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:57.319
is. Yeah, and kind of
the I've still the death claw man,
38
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.360
those legs until like skinny legs man. Yeah. But what's not interesting about
39
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.960
this is well he didn't necessarily said
at intelligent eyes. It said it stared
40
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.280
at him, right, which seems
to be intelligent, right, Same thing
41
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.800
with the first guy, skinny lays, their skinny appendages really tall and the
42
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.000
social intelligence and then like this guy
described it as looking like a deer but
43
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.039
not a deer. What do you
do when that happen? Is it like
44
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.319
Jurassic Park with the tr X,
Like you don't move and won't see you,
45
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.039
Like, what do you do in
that? So he decided to gut
46
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.560
it and run it there. He
was just like, get out there.
47
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.759
It's out of there. I don't
know what I would do. I can
48
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.159
almost see where you'd be like frozen
though, right, like frozen in toe.
49
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.599
Yeah, as you're experiencing this,
like I don't know, I don't
50
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.319
know what I do, A lot
of people are asking some form of do
51
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.919
you think this is the same thing
from the first story? Let me ask
52
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.120
you this as we get further in
these stories, so you're obviously sharing them
53
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.280
for a reason. So what's the
connection that you saw to these There's a
54
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.360
bunch of people like piggybacking off of
each other. These I found, so
55
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:11.199
I mentioned they had different authors.
They're also monks or about a year apart,
56
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.080
and then they're also basts to different
parts of the country. Nothing like
57
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:20.040
what's connecting them, except for there
are similarities in like the height, the
58
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:28.360
strange way it walks, the seeming
intelligence, just like some other worldliness to
59
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.240
it. Yeah, they all kind
of describe something that put them off when
60
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.279
they saw it. To me,
that speaks to something else, something not
61
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.120
natural in terms of an animal and
my current working theory. You know,
62
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.439
there's so one more story to get
through, but my current working theory is
63
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:49.160
something like a forest god, a
forest and God. Yeah, I look
64
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.439
up using Forrest Gump. Yeah,
if you look up any picture of Forrest
65
00:04:54.480 --> 00:05:00.279
God, they look like really tall, deer like creatures with different, like
66
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.680
somewhat intelligent looking faces. A lot
of people are commenting it reminds them of
67
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:10.360
like an alien or something that's fair. I mean, what's what's steers tweet
68
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.199
that God or a million Dang,
you just got real deep there. I
69
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.240
can't answer that. Don't. Like
I said before, as we've talked about,
70
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:20.519
as we've shared so many stories now, the nighttime definitely throws you off
71
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.720
on being able to visually see the
size of something. Yeah, so that
72
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.920
makes you wonder, is something that's
really big but probably seemed just gigantic,
73
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.399
you know what I mean at night? So I'm not surprised by that at
74
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.800
all, But I don't know,
I'm curious that that first one was at
75
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.600
night though. So yeah, land
in water now, though nowhere near water.
76
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.319
On the second one, right,
No, Southern California, which I
77
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.240
think it pretty dry air. They
don't have any water there. It's a
78
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.759
problem. There's no water in southern
California. So yeah, point being there,
79
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.600
there seems to be no limit to
where it's gonna go at least.
80
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:56.279
Yeah, but it does have like
the first one ran into the woods afterwards,
81
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.879
and you can see that this is
like something that lives there or possibly
82
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.079
you should call that into the unknown. Yeah, it's a desert god Luke,
83
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.199
maybe it's a desert baby. You
know. That's the last one,
84
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.720
isn't there? Well, I don't
know. I will say this though,
85
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.079
this is what is starting to remind
me of though. You saw the Dog,
86
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.800
didn't you? The Black Dog.
I've heard truckers talk about it on
87
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.480
the yard to say it comes to
take everything away from him, and it
88
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:29.759
did it? Did the guy at
the back see, he's like, yeah,
89
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.399
yeah, I know, he's all
excited. That's such a good movie.
90
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.839
That's what it's. It's like you're
seeing these phantom things there. It's
91
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:44.480
like the Black Dog. Jeff Townsend
media sees you good night, and the
92
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.000
question is do I stay here?
Will you be back? Are you gonna
93
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.800
come back? Will you be back? Are you coming back?
1
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:09.640
All right, So this one takes
place in Southern California, which quite a
2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.800
bit of ways from Michigan, where
we were last time, and this is
3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:18.600
called the South California, not Deer. I commute for my job. It's
4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.839
a retail job, but I live
in a rural area in the southern California
5
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:29.120
foothills and is currently my only option. I drive home every night year one
6
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:33.240
am. I take the highway that
always deserve these sives, and some nights
7
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:38.840

nothing so extreme as this incident. It's

One recent night, it was only about
11
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.719
ten minutes away from home. I
rode up to the usual four way stop
12
00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:00.560
there stopped at a hundred times before
now, so around came to a complete
13
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.879
stop. I saw something standing just
off by side of the road, across
14
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.760

37
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:57.319

the I've still the death claw man,
38
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.360
those legs until like skinny legs man. Yeah. But what's not interesting about

00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:20.040
what's connecting them, except for there
are similarities in like the height, the
58
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:28.360
strange way it walks, the seeming
intelligence, just like some other worldliness to
59
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.240
it. Yeah, they all kind
of describe something that put them off when
60
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.279
they saw it. To me,
that speaks to something else, something not
61
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.120
natural in terms of an animal and
my current working theory. You know,
62
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.439
there's so one more story to get
through, but my current working theory is
63
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:49.160
something like a forest god, a
forest and God. Yeah, I look
64
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.439
up using Forrest Gump. Yeah,
if you look up any picture of Forrest
65
00:04:54.480 --> 00:05:00.279
God, they look like really tall, deer like creatures with different, like
66
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.680
somewhat intelligent looking faces. A lot
of people are commenting it reminds them of
67
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:10.360
like an alien or something that's fair. I mean, what's what's steers tweet
68
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.199
that God or a million Dang,
you just got real deep there. I
69
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.240
can't answer that. Don't. Like
I said before, as we've talked about,
70
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:20.519
as we've shared so many stories now, the nighttime definitely throws you off
71
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.720
on being able to visually see the
size of something. Yeah, so that
72
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.920
makes you wonder, is something that's
really big but probably seemed just gigantic,
73
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.399
you know what I mean at night? So I'm not surprised by that at
74
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.800
all, But I don't know,
I'm curious that that first one was at
75
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.600
night though. So yeah, land
in water now, though nowhere near water.
76
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.319
On the second one, right,
No, Southern California, which I
77
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.240
think it pretty dry air. They
don't have any water there. It's a
78
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.759
problem. There's no water in southern
California. So yeah, point being there,
79
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.600
there seems to be no limit to
where it's gonna go at least.
80
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:56.279
Yeah, but it does have like
the first one ran into the woods afterwards,
81
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.879
and you can see that this is
like something that lives there or possibly
82
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.079
you should call that into the unknown. Yeah, it's a desert god Luke,
83
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.199
maybe it's a desert baby. You
know. That's the last one,
84
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.720
isn't there? Well, I don't
know. I will say this though,
85
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.079
this is what is starting to remind
me of though. You saw the Dog,
86
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.800
didn't you? The Black Dog.
I've heard truckers talk about it on
87
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.480
the yard to say it comes to
take everything away from him, and it
88
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:29.759
did it? Did the guy at
the back see, he's like, yeah,
89
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.399
yeah, I know, he's all
excited. That's such a good movie.
90
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.839
That's what it's. It's like you're
seeing these phantom things there. It's
91
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:44.480
like the Black Dog. Jeff Townsend
media sees you good night, and the
92
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.000
question is do I stay here?
Will you be back? Are you gonna
93
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.800
come back? Will you be back? Are you coming back?
