4.9 | Not Deer, Shapeshifters and Hoofed Horror!

It’s late at night.

You’re driving a lonely stretch of forested road. Up ahead you catch a glimpse of something in your headlights. As you start to slow down you’re thinking to yourself, “It must be a deer.”

But there’s something wrong. There’s something about it that’s not quite right. It’s not quite a deer. As you begin to process what you’re seeing, your stomach sinks. As the thing rises up to meet its eyes to yours, its disfigured joints begin to crack and pop into place, and with a predator's stare and sinister grin, it is eager to meet you. This is no deer.

On this episode of Belief Hole, we dissect alleged true accounts of the Appalachian Not Deer and compare them to strange reports from the early 20th century.

Join us, as we explore the hoofed horror of animal mimics, shapeshifters, and sinister imposters.
