The year was 1815, and it wasn’t a 🦌 deer… It smelled of earth and rot. I was building a cabin in the woods in hopes of keeping it away. Hopefully, no one gets stuck in my fireplace after I’m gone.
@@ShermanMark1 that sucks, bow season started last month, in a couple days it'll be rifle. Its been too warm last month for anything to move, but now its dropping to 10f at night so stuff is starting to move. Got a couple big monster whitetails on camera that I'm hoping to get.
Strange Deer Encounters of 1815... I actually had a Not-Deer encounter when I was around 3. I remember being confused that it had "people teeth." And no visible body from behind the tiny tree...
I once walked up on a whole herd of deer covered in those hideous tumors grazing on my college campus. They certainly looked the part of zombies. Thankfully they still preferred grass.
I'm about 35 mins from Cleveland, in Canton and have always heard about how The Metro Parks have had cryptids spotted throughout them. Actually a few yrs back there was a Dogman sighting out there so you know Not Deer are throughout that area surely
Happy Halloween swamp friends! Had a rough last few days after finding out that a friend of mine tragically died as her trailer was set ablaze while she and her kitty Toby slept. Friends I beg you please be careful and check your smoke detectors making sure they have battery and are working properly. I would absolutely hate to see any of my fellow swamp dwellers be lost in such an awful way as my friend. may she rest in peace. Have a good night loves and please stay safe🤍🎃🕊
@@frankharrington4881 Thankyou Patricia it means a lot 🤍 I still pause through out the day and think to myself “she’s really not here anymore” it’s strange to grow accustom too but time with continue to move forward and it doesn’t stop for anyone so you just gotta keep going with your head up til you make it 🤍
I am so so sorry for the loss of your friend. You are absolutely right, install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detector also and keep the batteries new.
Uurrrrgh... deer are weird anyway: their eyeshine is bright, they disappear quickly into brush, they have an empty, soulless expression, similar to bovine and sharks. They like to play "chicken" on roadways.... perhaps trying to cause a collision and kill us, perhaps attempting suicide out of boredom. However, they are delicious when properly prepared. 🤠🐻 Note: Valentine's Day, 2011, a red tailed hawk crashed into our glass building at the front door. I removed the carcass to the back of the building in a patch of woods. Later that day, I caught a pair of deer playing with the carcass. 1815.... great episode
1815 Just got back home from hunting our deer opener. I love your creepy and allegedly true stories. Unfortunately my deer hunting party doesn’t like to listen to creepy hunting/woods horror stories. I’d like to poke fun, but I don’t out of respect. Luckily for them, there is no cell service where our cabin is at.
"Oh, deer!" - Moe "Really?! I didn't know you cared ! Nyuk nyuk nyuk !" - Curly "I *DON'T* ! " - Moe (pokes Curly in eyes) "QUIET, you numbskulls !!" - Not A Deer
Hey Swamp! Could you specify which stories in particular are true or meant to be true vs which ones are just written for fun? A small thing but I would appreciate it
The one from Cleveland caught my attention. I'm native. Been all over the Metro parks. Gotta wonder what area that was. East or West side? Metro or Canal? City or suburb? Don't want to be anywhere near something like that!
These not deer, tall deer, whatever it is deer are scary but fortunately they usually come alone...imagine if all the sudden you see a whole army of then....idk like 1815 of them just walking along somewhere
You can call me crazy after reading this, but try to get through first, please. Those deer could belong to Norse lore. 1. We know, that Vikings reached Greenland and the eastern coast of Canada and the US around the year 1000 AD. They set up short-lived settlements in North America (-> Vinland map). 2. There are examples of Native Americans adopting aspects of (later) European settlers' lore and connecting myths from different cultures, that had a similar enough baseline, like in the case of "little people" (fairies), werewolves and demonic possession (which is similar to being possessed by a wendigo spirit). I don't know whether there existed a close enough contact between natives and Viking settlers to spread those beliefs in North America in 1000 AD, but even if it wasn't Leif Eriksson himself who passed on these tales, they would have returned with later settlers from Iceland, the Scandinavian mainland, Denmark and northern Germany. 3. What am I talking about here? - The 4 stags, that eat from the world tree in Germanic mythology. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dáinn,_Dvalinn,_Duneyrr_and_Duraþrór The world tree contains 9 worlds belonging to different tribes of gods, elves, giants and humans. It's usually thought to symbolise Earth and its separate planes of existence. And Earth is under a constant threat in the form of 6 adverse animals: The dragon Nidhögg chews on the world tree's roots, which could ultimately kill the tree. This is a threat to the very foundation of life on Earth. The squirrel Ratatoskr hops around in the tree, spreading rumours and causing arguments and fights between the worlds. And then there are 4 stags, that hinder the tree's growth by eating its leaves. In real life Europe hungry deer are such a problem, that areas with young trees are protected with tall metal fences to keep them out, because they love to eat the bark in winter (which is easier and tastier with younger trees) and can cause massive destruction (= young trees may die due to being peeled by deer). The world tree stags are not completely evil; they're also responsible for (accidentally) creating Earth's rivers. But they're mentioned as adverse animals and a threat to Earth (i.e. to all of its inhabitabts, including the gods). Evil deer are such a weird concept, that I can only imagine something like this seeped into North American lore through settlers, who mixed it with native beliefs and deer diseases. Even rabies could play into this: All mammals can contract rabies. A half-rotting, obviously injured deer with crazy eyes and movements, foaming at the mouth and trying to attack humans... could have been attacked by a rabid predator and survived, only to have an outbreak of rabies. The talking part is tricky, but on the other hand talking animals are common in European lore, and animals that mimick humans to lure them to their deaths are absolutely a thing in Africa (-> hyenas).
A number of undeer (yes, that's the correct term) can be correctly attributed to deer behaving oddly due to illness like scrapey or CWD, or merely bucks posturing as they sometimes do for intimidation or a visual height advantage. But then you get the odd ones...deer that absolutely don't behave anywhere near normally with consistency over an extended period (ref: Tales of Russian Ranger). And the deer skulls, with almost manlike physiques? Well, that's a ven'dol - what y'all better know as a wendigo. Salt and white ashes, kiddos. Wiped on blades or smudged into hollowpoints as a paste with olive oil.
This should be a movie When the hunter becomes the hunted you killed it’s mother and now Bambi’s back with a vengeance. He spent the last 5 years training for the day when you two come face to face again. Countless hours in the gym years of PED use his muscles are rippled and twisted on Top of each other thick and veiny his eyes are red and bulging out of his abnormally large deer skull from all the stimulants he’s been abusing all the long sleepless nights he’s spent thinking of how he was going to end you. Idk but it kinda fits the picture of the green hair tweaker buck picture lol
Something about an animal form that our brains know should be a relatively non-threatening and herbivorous animal acting like a predator and flipping the food chain on its head is incredibly unsettling in a subtle way. It's for that reason that i find Tall Deer quite fascinating. Although i haven't yet done any real research on them, and have only really heard about them in the last few years, often mislabeled or misrepresented as Wendigo in many stories. It's mainly for that reason that I wonder just how much Tall Deer are actually based in Native American legends, or whether they're more of a modern creation of the internet, bastardized versions of various Native myths all crammed into one creature for a 'fresh' creepypasta. I've heard of at least some Native legends that involve deer-like cryptids which can be dangerous to humans, so maybe it's a bit of both at this point. Either way I have a lot more reading to do.

Strange Deer Encounters of 1815...
I actually had a Not-Deer encounter when I was around 3. I remember being confused that it had "people teeth." And no visible body from behind the tiny tree...
Can you edit and tell us the full story? Would really appreciate it! Sounds like a good story!
Just in time!! There are accounts of Zombie Deer, parasitic worms or something controls the deer brains. It's so weird
I once walked up on a whole herd of deer covered in those hideous tumors grazing on my college campus. They certainly looked the part of zombies. Thankfully they still preferred grass.
parasitic worms don't give deers forward facing eyes. Realize that us humans don't know anything.
Yes! Deern't stories are some of my favorites! Thanks, Swamp Dweller, and have a Happy Halloween!
These are my favorite type of stories. It feels good to finally be back in the swamp. Haven't been able to listen in awhile. Thanks for the video!

Hey 1815. Always love to hear allegedly true but scary stories.
Badass stories brother
swampy you've been the greatest since 1815
It’s gonna be 3 AM soon, should I be worried about listening to this?
Guess I’ll find out in the dream, or in the morning lol
Back in 1815 we had to walk 30 miles in the snow, uphill.

Dude that Sound effect in the 3rd story thru me off, thinking it was here w me
1815
thats not the first time ive heard about cryptid in Joshua Tree, i think it was a wendigo either u or darkness read the story
1815!!! Awesome storys!!
The Battle of Waterloo was in 1815. 😁
i get a good laugh out of the fact that you use the rust soundtrack in parts of these. no other game will make you more afraid of wildlife 💀
These stories were so good and so 1815
A wendigo also fits in the not deer category
Happy Hallowe'en to all in the Swamp!
Oh yeah thanks it was a episode. Thanks Swamp.
1815 ..such weird stories. What are these not-deer entities!?
Great for Halloween
as someone who lives in Cleveland, seeing a humanoid creature is the least weirdest thing in ohio
I'm also from cleveland. It's crazy here

1815? Ahh yes the year of the not deer
In 1815, deer were so common that the skins only cost a buck.
Hey I’m just a bit confused on all these 1815 comments
What is it about?
The first story taking place in Ohio honestly doesn’t surprise me💀
I wasn't sure if you said 1815 or 1850
A lot of creative writers seem to be seeing Not-Deer...
Damn the Joshua tree story is a couple hours from me
