    It Stood Up with a Deer

    On this episode of The Cryptid Podcast, Tommy from Michigan shares a terrifying encounter that began as a simple trip to harvest a deer for a family gathering and quickly turned into one of the most frightening experiences of his life. While visiting family property in Michigan, Tommy hopped on his 4-wheeler and headed toward his deer stand, hoping to bring back a buck for the gathering. As he made his way through the woods, he spotted a large figure kneeling over something in the distance. When his 4-wheeler backfired, the creature slowly stood and turned toward him. What Tommy saw next stopped him cold. In the creature's hands was a massive dead buck. Whatever this thing was, it had been feeding on the deer. Moments later, it dropped the carcass and started moving toward him. Realizing he was in serious danger, Tommy turned his 4-wheeler around and took off. What followed was a heart-pounding chase through the Michigan woods as the creature pursued him all the way to the edge of the tree line. Join Dano as Tommy recounts every detail of this incredible Michigan cryptid encounter, along with the fear, adrenaline, and unanswered questions that remain to this day. Only on The Cryptid Podcast.
