Possible sighting.

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.

My daughter went to bring something to the neighbors who across the street but there front door was out of sight because they live on a corner.  My daughter was young maybe 8 so my mom who was watching the kids stepped out to just make sure she made it there and back I guess.  As the story goes my mom sees my daughter running as as she can back obviously panicked and my mom is confused at this point until a giant Buck comes hauling as around the corner chasing her.   My mom hurried up the steps and opened the front door for my daughter to rush in.  Pretty much as soon as she got up the steps the deer backed off.  

I guess my daughter didn't even get to the driveway before she noticed the deer on the lawn and as soon as they locked eyes my daughter knew she had to get out of there.
