Appalachian “Mimics” and the Not-Deer

In Appalachia, the locals whisper warnings. Don’t follow voices calling your name. Don’t answer cries for help. And if you see a deer… but something feels off—run. They call it the Not-Deer: a creature that looks almost right, but not quite. Too long legs. Human-like eyes. A predator pretending to be prey. Folklore? Maybe. But those who’ve seen it swear it’s real.
