Deer People
by Brandon

My experience starts off in October of 2000 in Moraine State Park, Pennsylvania. A friend and I were driving around searching for paranormal phenomena as it was around Halloween. We were looking for a particular haunted graveyard. We were deep into the woods of Moraine, down a long dirt road surrounded by forest.

As we turned the one bend, our headlights showed something unbelievable. In split seconds what appeared to be three sets of four deer legs wearing what appeared to be red and blue flannel jackets had jumped (like a deer jumping a fence) behind a dirt mound and vanished. They appeared to be shaped similar to those greek horse humans having a deer like body with a human torso, but standing on four legs. We had sat there for a second in awe and I said, "What the ____ was that?" And then I said, "Get the ____ out of here!" It was terrifying!

Needless to say, everyone laughs when I tell them. I know what I saw and I was completely sober. A few years later, my mom was telling a coworker who ended up claiming her sister had found a website about the deer people. I could never really track down the exact site, but I have come across sites that speak of fauns that are goat-people that are supposed to use berries to paint themselves to mimic human clothes, a.k.a. flannel. Well I had just researched it again tonight and found what appears to be deermen sightings in Indiana, but the only thing about the other sightings of deermen and fauns is that they claim they only have two legs as where mine had four legs each. Unless they have evolved... who knows? I know what I saw and maybe someday I can prove it.
