Deerman Sighting at the Camp Ground.

The Rosalind Campground is located on “2 Avenue”, rests in a large open field for those who wish to rough it like they did while traveling the countryside. Now, this is important as the place is littered with barrels used for trash cans and a free firewood pile. On the day of August 10th of 1997, a sighting of the Deerman was reported to the RCMP was rejected as they thought the caller was pulling a fast one on them. This of course was far from the truth. A visitor who was just passing by while she decided to spend the night as she was just passing through.

As the night grew darker and the moon slowly rose, she was alone with her 1986 Chrysler K-Car and a one person pop tent. Her name has been withheld out of fear that she would be ridiculed for what she saw, which is understandable in my opinion. Like those who’ve witnessed Bigfoot and other said creatures of the unknown.

She said that it was around 4’am when she heard the sound of footsteps walking towards her. They weren’t what you’d expect from a person, they were almost silent except for the sound of the leaves being crushed under its feet. She thought it could’ve been a dog but something didn’t feel right.

For a moment she thought it could be a deer or perhaps another animal and she wanted to take a photo of said animal. Once she unzipped the flap and reached for her camera, she was greeted by the mysterious Deerman. It stood perfectly still like a statue and looked her over with what she described as her dead like eyes. Almost what you’d find on a doll or perhaps a taxidermy Deer.

Before she could snap a photo it ran into the darkness of the night. Leaving another soul to witness its freakish existence. Since then, groups of people have been trying to spot a glimpse of the Deerman to prevail. Though some have said they’ve spotted it while driving down “N Ave Railway”. Though these claims have been made without any photographic evidence. We need to keep an open mind and make sure that all sightings are investigated and proven as fact or disprove as either a mistake or someone just looking for fame.

The mystery of the Deerman is one that needs to be solved. With the increasing evidence of said Cryptozoic beings like that of Big Foot springing up everywhere. Other creatures that lurk in the unknown soon too will be brought to the light of the masses. This is a job that I’m willing to give my life for. Thank you for reading and stay tuned for more articles diving into the Deerman of Central Alberta.

Introduction to the Deerman of Rosalind, Alberta.

I’m starting this forum of sorts in the hope of educating those who haven’t heard of the Deerman.

First of all, let me just say that I am no way a crackpot. The legend of the Deerman started in the playgrounds

of small Albertan rural communities and with many who claim to have seen this abnormal being.

Now, you probably wonder why I’m doing this? And believe me, I ask myself that too. But it’s for fun, I’m

researching this topic in the hopes of bringing it to the forefront of educating those who are interested in the

field of Cryptozoology or those who just love to read up on urban legends and the unknown.

The origins of the Deerman dates back to before the incorporation of Rosalind into a village back in 1966.

Many eyewitnesses reported spotting said creature during the summer and harvest season. Usually on the

outskirts of the fields, watching the farmers plant and harvest. Many seem to think that the Deerman is the

offspring of beast and the Devil. In a vain attempt of spreading its evil to others. While some say it’s a genetic

experiment that broke free.

Though many claim to have seen it, there are still few who think it’s a hoax, created by the hands of bored farm

kids. This may be the case, but I am here to document everything that I find. In a hope to better understand this

creature and put this story to rest.

The first sighting was by the son of a farmer who’s family traveled there for a better life. Once established there,

they turned to farm the land in the hopes of raising a crop. Soon, that reported hearing strange sounds coming

from the fields at dusk and when they would wake up. They passed these sounds off to nothing more than Coyotes

possibly. Soon, livestock joined the farm and over a matter of a few weeks the Cows were dying off one by one.

Reports were springing up over the county that sightings of a strange being running across country roads startling

those who’ve witnessed such a sight. It was the Deerman, ever since the founding of the town these sightings have

lived on over the generations. Has this being called that chunk of the land home before the founding or was it

brought perhaps from a family that was cursed? Or maybe it’s a warning of things to come. Maybe a doorway has

been opened that needs to be shut?
