The Rosalind Campground is located on “2 Avenue”, rests in a large open field for those who wish to rough it like they did while traveling the countryside. Now, this is important as the place is littered with barrels used for trash cans and a free firewood pile. On the day of August 10th of 1997, a sighting of the Deerman was reported to the RCMP was rejected as they thought the caller was pulling a fast one on them. This of course was far from the truth. A visitor who was just passing by while she decided to spend the night as she was just passing through.

As the night grew darker and the moon slowly rose, she was alone with her 1986 Chrysler K-Car and a one person pop tent. Her name has been withheld out of fear that she would be ridiculed for what she saw, which is understandable in my opinion. Like those who’ve witnessed Bigfoot and other said creatures of the unknown.

She said that it was around 4’am when she heard the sound of footsteps walking towards her. They weren’t what you’d expect from a person, they were almost silent except for the sound of the leaves being crushed under its feet. She thought it could’ve been a dog but something didn’t feel right.

For a moment she thought it could be a deer or perhaps another animal and she wanted to take a photo of said animal. Once she unzipped the flap and reached for her camera, she was greeted by the mysterious Deerman. It stood perfectly still like a statue and looked her over with what she described as her dead like eyes. Almost what you’d find on a doll or perhaps a taxidermy Deer.

Before she could snap a photo it ran into the darkness of the night. Leaving another soul to witness its freakish existence. Since then, groups of people have been trying to spot a glimpse of the Deerman to prevail. Though some have said they’ve spotted it while driving down “N Ave Railway”. Though these claims have been made without any photographic evidence. We need to keep an open mind and make sure that all sightings are investigated and proven as fact or disprove as either a mistake or someone just looking for fame.

The mystery of the Deerman is one that needs to be solved. With the increasing evidence of said Cryptozoic beings like that of Big Foot springing up everywhere. Other creatures that lurk in the unknown soon too will be brought to the light of the masses. This is a job that I’m willing to give my life for.
