My Experience with the Deerman of Central Alberta.

Now you are probably wondering by the title just what this article is going to be about? I’ve reported for a while on this subject, I figured why not jump in and tell you my personal experience with the Deerman of Central Alberta. I’ve traveled all about the Central Alberta area. I love the small rural communities scattered about the land and meeting such amazing people. Everything, that I’ve documented is something that I love and dedicate my life to documenting. Now, you are probably wondering just why I’m doing this? Well, I love anything cryptid, the very thought of a creature that isn’t Bigfoot lurking around these small communities, that its something that’ll keep you up at night and on your toes if your camping.

Wandering around the small village and Hamlet streets, taking it all in and enjoying the time I have spent on this mission of mine. Do I think the Deerman is real? My answer to that is yes. I do believe that there are creatures out there, animals that haven’t been discovered yet. Creatures that have been brushed off as not existing and thus have been cataloged as being real. Who’s to say that Bigfoot, the Lochness Monster, or Deerman aren’t real? People who dismiss these strange beings are closed minded and are forever living in a life of ignorance. I for one open my arms wide to hug this mysterious creature.

I’ve set up this Blog, a Twitter account, and Youtube Channel in the hopes of spreading awareness of the Deerman of Central Alberta. Perhaps there’s more? Maybe, there is a tribe of them traveling the country. There have been sightings that have been coming in from Manitoba. I have an open mind but this strange entity has occupied most of my free time.

I’m on a mission to bring the truth out about the Deerman, I haven’t heard of anyone being harmed by it and though there have been a few close calls nothing about anyone being mauled to death or killed. Though, it should be said that the Deerman is a wild animal, it’s a creature that shouldn’t be corned or toyed with. This is an undocumented animal that should be given the respect and distance to ensure the safety of the Deerman and of those who wish to investigate such a being. I already am planning an extensive trip to the Villages and Hamlets that have experienced an increase in Deerman sightings.

I honestly hope you all enjoy my articles and please share them with anyone who enjoys the subject of the unknown and mystery to please share this blog and help spread the word. So that the Deerman of Central Alberta can one day be protected from those who wish to do it harm.

The Meeting Creek Encounter.

Meeting Creek, a small Hamlet with a population of only 21. Though this small sleepy corner of society in Central Alberta was home of a sighting that it’s residents wish it never was a part of. Meeting Creek, is located just off of Highway 56 and it’s something that looks like a living version of a Rockwell painting. Though on the night of August 21st of 2018 as the sun began to rise up to the sky and erase the unknown darkness that is the night.

As there are breathtaking sights to see by means of scenery. I spoke with a retired Librarian who wanted her name omitted from this article out of fear of ridicule by those around her. Seeing something like the Deerman would make one appear a tad bit off. This isn’t anything new as many of those who have seen Bigfoot or the Lochness Monster have gone through they’re fair share of ridicule.

It was early in the morning and she awoke to her routine of making herself a pot of coffee and making her breakfast. Though she lived alone she never felt scared, but when that moment came on that fateful day when only but a double glass pane window separating her from what could only be described as a creature not of this world.

While she looked out her window as the coffee was brewing there standing just a few yards away was the Deerman. She recalled that it stood perfectly still like a statue, they’re eye’s were locked and neither one of them blinked, and before she knew it the creature slowly made it’s way to the window. It’s none blinking eye’s were almost hypnotic she described. But as this bond was made it was quickly cut off as it turned around and began to make it’s way back to where it came. But not before taking a few of the crab apples from her tree.

Ever since then she has continued to wake up at the same time every single day in the hopes of catching a glimpse of what she said was the most majestic animal she’s ever seen. She never felt fear like the others who’ve reported they’re encounters with the Deerman. But maybe the Deerman isn’t that bad after all? Maybe, it’s just miss understood? Who honestly knows. But as I report my findings on an almost daily basis I’m finding myself having a warm place in my heart for the elusive Deerman. I hope you do as well.

The Farmer and the Deerman.

This report takes place smack dab right of Highway 53, west of Donalda, and it deals with a Farmer and his livestock. If you are the faint of heart, I suggest you understand that in the world of the living life is born and taken away. With that being said a Farmer was awoken one night to the sound of his pigs screams in fear, this woke him up and caused him to run out side in his underwear. Brandishing a rifle, he scanned the area and found that all his pigs were accounted for.

Not knowing just what spooked the pigs he fired two rounds into the air in the hopes of scaring what he only assumed was a coyote or perhaps another vastly larger predator. But on that night he was called yet again to check on his cows who were crying out into the night. The Farmer didn’t know what to make of it and quickly got his Son and ran towards the barn. The Cows were clearly spooked and were stopping they’re hooves and shrieking, like someone was there or something. He already crossed off a Coyote as it would’ve ran away by now and everything looked clear.

He was about to leave the barn that was until he heard the floor creak above him in the hay loft. That’s when he realized that whatever it was, was hiding up above. Now, he said he intially thought it to be kids, perhaps wanting to tip a cow, or try to rob him. Before he could say a single word a noise that filled him with fear echoed through the barn driving his animals into a frenzy. Before he could do anything the mysterious figure jumped down and bolted through the night. This wasn’t the end as he fired another shot and this time almost hitting the Deerman.

It was too late and the creature vanished into the night, the animals were all unharmed, and were on edge for the rest of the night. After a few days the dust settled down and life returned to normal for the most part. But now he sleeps with one eye open and his rifle loaded next to his bed.

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.

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?
