Scary Stories - Stalked

In mid-January, a 19-year-old man finally convinced his protective mother to let him spend two weeks alone at his family's cabin in the North Rocky Mountains. He was an experienced outdoorsman—his family camped three times a month, and he had hunted, cleaned, and eaten more deer and hogs than he could count. But on day four of his solo trip, something happened that he could not explain. By the time his oldest brother came looking for him five weeks later, he was found face-down in the snow, his own knife buried in his ribs, his phone still clutched in his hand with an audio recording of the story he told in his final hours.

The Disappearing Deer

The trouble began after the narrator shot a large buck—the biggest he had ever taken, with antlers spanning four feet. He left the carcass to butcher it later, stabbing his knife into a tree above his rifle before returning to the cabin to start a fire and roast some venison. When he came back twenty minutes later, the deer was gone. Not just the carcass—every trace of blood, every piece of meat, every bit of intestine had vanished. The snow was pristine white, as if nothing had ever been there. His knife, which he had left covered in blood, was spotless. Even his own footprints had disappeared.
