A couple is taking a walk, at night, in a nature area near Eastern Kentucky University. They observe a white, possibly hairless 'Not Deer' with a bizarre body shape and unnatural eyes.
I received the following account:
"In the late Fall of 2016, I was in college at Eastern Kentucky University. My now fiancé and I wanted to spend some time together one night. She came to Richmond, KY to come to see me and we decided to go for a walk around the Taylor Fork Ecology Area that was a few miles off campus.
We tried to drive into the park but her car (Volkswagen Beetle) had trouble going over the poorly maintained gravel road leading into the area, so we parked at a nearby church and walked up the same gravel road instead.
About 5-10 minutes into the walk we heard something moving in the brush off to the side so we stopped and I shined my light in the direction I heard the noise and saw something I couldn’t recognize. From the ground to its head it was about 4 feet high and had a shape somewhere in between a female deer and some kind of tall slender dog. It had eyes that glowed yellowish white in the light of my phone, and had stark white skin, like there was no fur. The body was deer-shaped but the eyes looked like they faced forward like a predator. That’s the part I can’t wrap my head around. I wish I had taken a video or photo but we were terrified and without thinking we turned around and went in the opposite direction, walking quickly.
Then I heard footsteps on the gravel behind us. I grabbed her hand and we ran all the way back down the path and made it to her car. I know this is kind of a long-winded story but if anyone has seen something similar or has an idea of what this animal could have been, it’s been on my mind ever since." R
