The Deerman Sighted in Mirror, Alberta.

The Hamlet of Mirror is located in Lacombe County, in Central Alberta and injunction with Highway 50 and 21. It was incorporated as a village in 1870 and soon it’s numbers dropped giving it the title of a Hamlet. The community is small and it’s the type of place where everyone know’s each others business. So with a population of roughly 502 people, someone’s bound to see something. And that’s just what happened. During the early mornings of a cool spring morning. When a thick fog forged through the countryside and soon blanketed the landscape and gave off an error feeling of the unknown. It was something that resembled the film “The Mist”.

Now, this report isn’t based on the experience of a single person but instead of a Husband and Wife. A church-going couple who are retired and who both worked for the County of Lacombe and both couldn’t believe what they had seen. As like they always did on that day, they ate together, had coffee, and decided to drive through the country. A tradition they’ve kept for the latter part of twenty years.

On that fateful morning, the two drove through the fog and turned off the main highway 50 and decided it would be a nice change if they drove down Range Road 225. A decision that would soon lead to a sighting that they would never forget.

While they drove slowly through the fog they both claim they saw something moving in and out of the fog with such great speed that it couldn’t have been a man. While they continued to drive they could swear it looked like a Deer but it was too large to be a Deer. Not wanting to scare the known skittish animal the Husband slowed to a stop and waited for a moment or two. In the hopes of having it run away in the hopes of not hitting it.

Slowly, the Husband began driving again and was forced to slam on the brakes as standing just a few feet in front of them was the Deerman. It stood perfectly still and slowly stood up on its hind legs and is said to have towered over they’re car. Without a second thought, the Husband slammed on the horn and stepped on the gas, the fear took hold of him, and he didn’t want to have his life end if that was in the cards or not. He didn’t want to find out and was protecting the life of his wife. Just before his car was to make contact with the Deerman, it bolted into the fields covered by the thick fog.

The couple had no idea what they saw and didn’t stop until they reached their driveway. As night fell upon the Hamlet of Mirror the couple were stuck with more questions than answers. They talked through the night and thought what they had seen was nothing more than a trick of the mind, though in the morning they both believed what they had seen was that of the elusive Deerman. Since then, they don’t drive through the country that much anymore.

I reached out to the couple and they told me everything they could remember. I plan on visiting Mirror, Alberta in the hopes of doing a more in-depth article in the future. They went in great detail of the physical attributes of the Deerman, they also described the dead eye’s that cut through them like a knife. They never believed in the Deerman, that was until that one day, and now they wish they never have seen it. A part of you dies when you see something that you thought would never exist. This is a common trait of those who’ve seen other such creatures. You begin to wonder if you’ve been lied to your entire life. Though sometimes the truth makes one wish to live a life of lies when you see just what you thought was never meant to be.

A Chance Encounter with an Illegal Hunter.

Night hunting is something that I frown upon, those who go out at night driving around old roads with a rifle or other means of a firearm and shoot whatever they can see. This usual act is something to be arrested over and I agree with it. If you go out at night and blind potential target for sport then you don’t deserve to live in my books. But, this report came from someone who may or may not have taken part in the activity. I just wanted to get my point across on that matter. So please, don’t do it.

On a Summer night outside of Rosalind, Alberta. Down an old almost forgotten by the community. You can find many of these roads out in the country that leads through farmers fields. Though, I won’t suggest you just trespass through fields and potentially destroy someone’s crop. Though, this witness didn’t take that into consideration when he decided it was a good idea to travel down these roads and fields in search of some decent game. But what he got was nothing more than a scary wake-up call.

On that night he drove about and soon caught witness to a Buck that he had his sights on. He waited for a few minutes as he quietly reached for his rifle and as he quickly flung on his high beams and standing before him, just a few feet away from the driver’s side window was the Deerman. In a fit of panic, the cowardly hunter threw the truck into drive and sped off. He reported that for a short period of time the Deerman was catching up to his truck, that was until he turned off onto highway 609, and sped away. He admits that he didn’t slow down until he reached the turnoff until he reaches his home.

The next day he said he returned to the same spot, located on the map but he couldn’t find the Deerman, He thought no one would believe him, that is until he reached out to me, and I believe him. The Deerman is not something you should try and take on yourself when out in the middle of nowhere anything can happen. But also the mind begins to play tricks as well. Who’s to say what honestly happened that night? Was it real or was it indeed a trick of the mind? I’ll leave that up for you to decide.
