  1. Two forestry coworkers told me about a seeing a "wendigo" shortly crossing a road after sunrise in Chambers County Alabama. They described it as deer shaped, completely black, running very very fast on two legs as it ran across the road. Upon hearing this, I immediately described the Not Deer to them, and asked them why they were telling me about this as it freak me out that they would just offer up seeing such a thing. The area has a long bloodied history as the last stand of the Creek Nation against Andrew Jackson, and a very odd feeling through out the heavily forested landscape.

  2. I know cryptids. I don't know or care about, "SCP". I just get annoyed with how it's shoved in to every thing.

    Any how, Wasting Disease is some serious stuff. Burn the whole forest.

  3. Thanks for another great video Li'l Water Bill. I've seen people talk about "Not Deer" in various cryptozoology forums online, and complain about them being discussed in that context, so thanks for clearing up the basics of those stories and their most likely origins. Taken at face value the "Not Deer" sound more like spectral or demonic entities that Jonathan Downes from the CFZ prefers to call "zooform entities" to distinguish them from undiscovered species of flesh-and-blood animals, and as you point out most of those sightings can be more satisfyingly explained as normal deer suffering from various disfiguring diseases. (which does not surprise me since quite a few alleged Chupacabra carcasses also turn out to be dogs or coyotes with mange)

  4. To be fair: Front facing Eyes also evolve in Climbing Species and in Myotragus balearicus, a extinct Goat Species that due to living on a Predator free Island didn't need the Eyes to be on the Side of the Head anymore.
    There also used to be carnivorous Ungulates (yes, I know. Technically there are still some due to Whales), but I don't know if there are any Species of those that had Horns or Antlers

  5. Yeah, I am someone that likes horror and cryptids in general and I am honestly sick of hearing about SCPs. I can't think of anything that has been more aggressively pushed on me that doesn't also have a government body or corporation backing that push since Ron Paul ran for president.

  6. Ok I'm an old man that lives on top of a mountain in East Tennessee. I was born even farther in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. I see deer on a daily basis and I never heard of a not deer until the internet was invented.

  7. let me shed a little insight for people who dont know animals. cause this video missed a few key points in this whole mess.
    deer elk and moose are all related and can interbreed at times. elk and moose also live in some of the same regions but dont go as far south. sometimes the skin comes off their horns and looks wild to someone who doesnt know thats normal.
    deer stand on their hind legs to fight and they will fck you up. moose too. they can get to over 2000 lbs and stand around 10 foot tall on all 4 legs. people dont get just how massive they are.
    during the rut aka their mating season they will attack anything on sight. pretty aggressive if you ask me. add sickly too its gonna be wild. one of my friends honked the horn at some deer during mating season and this thing charged up out of the ditch to attack his car wasnt even the one that was in our way.
    now for the fun fact. deer dont just eat grass people. they are known to be opportunistic just like most other animals. aka omnivore. but you tell your kids this 200-2000lb creature outside their window at nite will eat them if it gets the chance they are going to be terrified along with you too. go look it up. tons of vids of deer eating birds and snakes and squirrels. they actively hunt them kill them with little stompies then chow down. they deer alright. you just dont know deer that well.

  8. 🐺I know I'm gonna get people mad in this one, but ya'll know that it's the truth. I SUPPORT THE IDEAS FOR THE REINTRODUCTION OF WOLVES BACK IN THE SOUTH EASTERN 🇺🇸!

    Think about it, wolves can hunt deer far better than any hunter, they go after the weak or sick members of the herds, they prevent disease outbreaks, feed the ecosystems, and help trees grow stronger and faster by scaring the deer away from the saplings. And for all you ranchers out there, get a pack of herding dogs to protect your livestock, they help a lot. Believe me, I know it's a risky operation, but we've brought this plague of sick deer on ourselves. Once the main predator is gone, nothing but chaos happens. Something has to be done about this, and it has to be done soon.

    Return and release wolves back in their old home and nature will thrive once again, we already did it once before.🐺

  9. Most likely people are seeing the VERY freaky looking victims of Cervid Wasting Disease…can manifiest in huge boils, slobbering and generally zombie like behaviour. There are also bucks who literally have the head and dangling spine of a defeated rival decorating their antlers…as well as generally zombie like behaviour..
