As I was approaching my spot, I noticed a lot of white fur scattered in a circle with a diameter of around six or so feet. The fur was in thick clumps and there was more scattered more lightly in a linear direction away from the original area. Slightly off of that line was a teepee-type formation of branches, at the top of which a deer spine and leg bones were perched. On March 21, one of the NR 2 students mentioned having seen a deer spine and hooves in Centennial, so it was killed some time before then. One of my friends had been to Centennial four days before me (mid April), and had seen the deer spine lying down the path (around where the second area of fur was) and not in the branches, which were also there when my friend was there. From this, my guess is that some animal (coyote?) killed the deer and ate it, leaving its bones behind some time before March 21, and they were still there when my friend visited (he said they were covered in moss, which I could see hanging off some of the bones), and then at some point during the four days between my friend going and my own visit, someone or something picked up the spine and legs and twisted them through the branches, wedging them in so that they didn’t fall out. I have talked to several people and a lot of them think it’s cool/interesting, but when I was there it felt very disconcerting and ominous, like something was going to come out of the trees for me. I did not pass through the branches, as I felt that was an entirely bad idea.
I could hear a lot of birds chirping overhead in the trees, although I didn’t see any.
