Jan 29, 2020 · Firstly, I added the link to the Tumblr post where I first heard about the "Not Deer". Secondly, as a guy who lives in Appalachia, the Not Deer isn't really that common of a folktale. Most people have never heard of it. It isn't a skinwalker though because you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a deer and a skinwalker disguised as ...

Jul 31, 2020 · The above creature is a deer- at least at first glance, right? There is clearly something wrong about it. Almost everything about this thing is wrong. But a deer is the only thing that comes to mind when one tries to describe it. The “Not Deer” is a bit of urban Americana from the appalachian region.

This isn’t exactly a sighting, but has still been unnerving. Before last night I hadn’t heard of a notdeer, but over the course of the past month or so I’ve been getting this image in my head while I’m driving along any backroads of a deer stepping infront of my car.

Sep 25, 2022 · "The Appalachian Not Deer is a folk cryptid with sightings common in the foothills of Virginia, but they aren’t bound to a specific location. Unlike Mothman or the Jersey Devil, Not Deer seem to be a phenomenon rather than one creature. Sightings typically occur at night or in the early evening/morning when visibility is low.

Jan 23, 2020 · This doesn't mean I haven't seen or sensed them, I've seen at least 3 and sensed 12, throughout all of the Appalachian area that is. Those do very much exist. However, it was definitely a deor (or "not-deer") this person saw, I have had one personal encounter with one. This one was small, almost the height of a normal deer but not quite.

Jun 15, 2020 · If you see a Not-Deer, you will think it is a deer. Unless you look a bit closer, but I wouldn’t advise you look too long. You won’t want to look too long. Deer are a good disguise. Deer are harmless and timid. Not-Deer are not. Not-Deer look like deer. But deer don’t look anything like that.

Oct 22, 2022 · But it's not real. The "cryptid" was invented by a creepypasta and was fictional from the get go. That's why there are no sightings or mentions of it prior to 2019, and why it isn't real. Stories may be inspired by various diseases that affect deer like Chronic Wasting Disease Here's a google link for every mention of "Not Deer" prior to 2019.

Sep 21, 2023 · In this case, the deer family is fatally vulnerable to Chronic Wasting Disease. Some of you may argue that the disease makes deer look like something else, but we are talking about cryptids. Let's pretend you are out in the Appalachian Mountain Range one night, and you stumble upon what looks like a deer, but not quite.

Apr 13, 2022 · This is a great depiction of the SCP-Not deer. The plot twist at the end of the SCP I very haunting. For those that don’t want to read it: it turns out the Rosewell crash had aliens that to blend into the environment would use deer as a host, but not a perfect imitation but one where there are physical problems like elongated arms, walking on two feet.

Back deer legs bend that way naturally and the neck just looks long due to the quality of the camera and the distance between the deer and camera. I made this post a while ago, Not Deer are a hoax (they were a Tumblr story posted in 2019) , and the people who fervently believe in it probably have not seen actual deer up close before.
