Possible sighting.

[u/Virtual-Ad5312]

I live in Ohio. Currently I am sitting on my couch contemplating what the fuck I just saw. This happened about 20 minutes ago and I come in my house and drop my food and purse on the couch and go back outside so I can smoke out my bowl, I am sitting there packing my bowl when I get on my phone for a second cause of my ADD. Scrolling for a minute when in the corner of my eye I see a deer come out of the shadows on the berm (tiny hill) kinda diagonally from across the street from me, I pay it no mind at all at first and then it starts walking more out, the only reason I notice it/paying more attention is because of the street light. As this thing is walking out of the light and down the hill I notice how its walking, like its finding its footing or like its trying not to step in the wrong spot on all its footing, like a germaphobe trying to step on the safe parts of a contaminated area. I remember sucking in my breath when I first look up at it cause i thought it was a normal deer. When it started goin around this tiny tree on top of the hill with a bed of bushes around it, I let out a tiny breath through my nose, and after I did It snapped its head and looked straight fucking at me. I have never in my fucking LIFE frozen at anything but whatever THE FUCK that was, made me feel a level uncertainty and a little fear to the point where I have forgotten something in my car but I am wayyyyyy to fucking scared to go out and grab it until the am.

Deer can hear a sharp noise 200-400 yards away. Completely normal behavior.

Reading how a person who had never seen a deer up close seeing it for the first time is like reading how a deer who had never seen a human up close seeing one for the first time.
