SCP-6448 - The 'Not Deer' Stalks You

[@HelloThere.....]

Right? Like you realize THATS WHY I'm calling the POLICE right???? The reason why I need the police is because I don’t want to die while investigating this clearly creepy and malicious sound. It's like saying there's an intruder with a gun in your house and they ask you to see if you can fight him off first before they come. Like I'm calling for help so you can get him cause I'm already aware I need assistance from this obvious danger.

To be fair it is most likely someone who needs immediate help that the police might not be able to administer and the only way the operator knows who to send is by what’s reported.

[@Brunhaam]

I'm pretty sure emergency services would never tell you to go investigate the suspicious calling out in the woods. 🤔 Possibly connected to SCP 911: the irresponsible emergency center lol

[@whatsmolly5741]

No the rational conclusion would be that the person is insane, someone is messing with them or mqybe skinwalker, I would suggest randomly dumping mags in the general direction until it stops.

This is actually a (relatively) real phenomena. In the US, most sightings are in the areas in/near the Appalachian Mountains. Ask almost any local and they'll tell you "If you saw something.. no you didn't." The same sentiment towards never whistling in the woods at night. You're reccomended, if you think you see a not-deer, to pretend you didn't, back away slowly and leave it alone, then refuse to admit to yourself you had an encounter.

[@Jackson-lt4xk]

yeah as i'm from west virginia most people tell you never whistle or make your self know especially if your by your self deep in the mountains and any type of deep woods.

[@SCP--jy6tn]

Can confirm, I live in northern Alabama and when hunting or hiking I am told not to imitate a deer in any way, even to get ones attention or to whistle, but I've never heard of a "Not-deer" before so this is slightly unsettling.

[@kingofravens215]

For those unaware this is based very loosely on CWD or chronic wasting disease. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease that affects deer, elk, reindeer, sika deer and moose. It has been found in some areas of North America, including Canada and the United States, Norway and South Korea. It may take over a year before an infected animal develops symptoms, which can include drastic weight loss (wasting), stumbling, listlessness and other neurologic symptoms. CWD can affect animals of all ages and some infected animals may die without ever developing the disease. CWD is fatal to animals and there are no treatments or vaccines. To date, there have been no reported cases of CWD infection in people. However, some animal studies suggest CWD poses a risk to certain types of non-human primates, like monkeys, that eat meat from CWD-infected animals or come in contact with brain or body fluids from infected deer or elk. These studies raise concerns that there may also be a risk to people. Since 1997, the World Health Organization has recommended that it is important to keep the agents of all known prion diseases from entering the human food chain.
