Me (35F) and my best friend (36F) went for a walk in the woods today, just to clear our heads and get some air. It was meant to be normal, peaceful. But something really weird happened and we can’t stop thinking about it.

We’d been walking for maybe 20 minutes when we noticed a deer standing on the path behind us. Just watching. It wasn’t scared or anything, it just stood there. At first we thought, wow, lucky! But then it started following us.

Not running, not getting close—just staying just far enough that we couldn’t hear it. Every time we looked back, it was there. Then another deer showed up. And another.

Within half an hour, there were five of them. All walking slow, keeping their distance, but not leaving. They followed us all the way back to the car. One of them literally stood at the edge of the treeline watching as we drove off.

Why would they do that?? Has anyone ever had something like this happen?? It honestly felt like they were escorting us out or… warning us? I know how that sounds. But it was really intense and we both felt freaked out. Something felt wrong.

Would love to know if this is like… a thing??
