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?
