Monstrously Tall 'NOT DEER' Seen on Southern California Highway

A rural Southern California man is driving home late at night when he encounters a bizarre-looking deer. He said that it looked like it was on stilts and had a weird gait. Was it a 'Not Deer?'

I received the following account:

"I commute for my job. It's a retail job, but I live in a rural area in the Southern California foothills and it is currently my only option. I drive home every night near 1 a.m. I take the highway. It's always deserted at these times and some nights were more peculiar than others, but nothing so extreme as this incident.

It's not uncommon for me to see a lot of wildlife on these drives. I would just take it slow and be alert. Occasionally I'd see a black-tailed deer, coyotes, raccoons, etc. One recent night I was only about 10 minutes away from home. I rolled up to the usual four-way stop that I had stopped at hundreds of times before. Not a soul around.

As I came to a complete stop I saw something standing just off the side of the road across from the intersection. It was obviously an animal and it was headed toward the road, so I was going to wait for it to cross. It took me a second to really comprehend what it was at first. I thought it was a horse which, although dangerous, wouldn't be that uncommon for where I lived due to irresponsible ranchers and their constantly broken fences. Then, as I started to be able to make out more of what it was as it neared the light from my headlights, I realized something was very wrong with this animal. It was tall. So much so that the legs looked stilt-like.

As I sat there shocked it slowly stepped into the road and came across my car's direct beam of my headlight. At this point, I realized two things. One, it was much taller than my car. Its height was monstrous! Two, its gait was very odd, almost like it didn't know how to properly walk as a deer should. It was like all of its joints wanted to bend the wrong way. It moved slowly into the oncoming lane and then swiveled its head to look back at me. All of the hair on my body rose. What spooked me the most was that this was certainly a deer or at least something that looked like one. It looked normal in every way except the spider-like legs it was standing on.

At this point I gassed it and then the deer stood unmoving as my car sped passed by. I looked back in my rearview mirror and caught a glimpse of it crossing the oncoming lane back into the shoulder of the highway, illuminated red by my brake lights. When I got home I ran into my house and locked myself in. I'm still understandably freaked out." D
