My "Brown Mountain Lights" Experience.

One wintry night in early January I, my uncle Ryan, my uncle Crow, and my sister all went on a late night drive to see the Brown Mountain lights. My uncles were a bit more neglectful back then since Ryan is only 12 years older than I am, so of course we didn't actually go seeking out the lights. 

An hour or so into our drive however we got lost. Pitch black, cold, rainy, night in bum fuck North Carolina and we were lost with very little to help since phone service was almost completely out. Soon after nearly half an hour trying to find a familiar road we were stopped abruptly by a figure running across the road. Something was off about it, something none of us really expected. Druggies are no rarity in these parts of NC, but it didn't just stumble around like it was on a high. The figure looked almost animal like with bright white pearls for eyes piercing through the black night as the headlights passed it by.

As I've grown up this experience never really left me. Not the scariest story but definitely one that I'll never forget. The fear child me had while ducking out of the view of this thing will remain with me for a long time.

Wow! That is creepy!!! Thank you for telling this story. I'm sorry that this memory still haunts you, but if you don't mind me asking. What kind of figure was it? Was it more like a deer, wolf, human, or what?

I have to say the figure was more deer like, but it stood upright be it a bit hunched.

 Also thinking back on it now it could've been a lure to attack, rob, or kidnap people along that road but none of us saw anything like barbed wire or spikes in the area.

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you... WOW 3 whole months XD

But, that sounds A LOT like what they call a 'not deer.' That pretty much describes what they are. But if you don't know what they are, 'not deers' are creatures that look like deer at first glance; once you really take a look at them, there's something off. They have been reported to stand on their back legs, turn their heads in ways that are physically impossible, have odd, unnatural-looking eyes, and exhibit very strange behavior and anatomy.
