    Oh deer, a ghost...

    Yes I have encountered a ghost. A ghost of the forest.

    I had an unbelievable encounter in a forest somewhere in the northern part of Germany. Two ghosts appeared from the woodlands were we stayed in an Air B&B.

    We stayed in a holiday home of one of our friends. They have a little farm in the forest in the northern part of Germany and it's really beautiful out there. I already shared a couple of post about the winter wonderland that we had during our stay but I totally forgot to post the best part of the trip.

    It was a very cold morning and all the trees we frosted up. It looked very nice outside. Some trees were completely white.

    I went out this early because there were a lot of deer around the farm. And I wanted to see if I could capture them on camera. And there are also wolfs out there, but I didn't expect to see one of them. They are very shy and hardly show themselves. But when I walked on to the first path that let in to the woodlands, just 200 meters from the farm, I had this beautiful encounter.

    This small group of deer were grazing next to the path trough the forest. And look at that albino deer. How cool is that. I was so amazed by it, It was unbelievable.

    I literally was shaking with excitement. I had never seen something like this in my life. How awesome is this.
    They soon spotted me and they run in to the forest next to the path. But that was not it jet, there was a big group of deer following that little pack in the front. So many of them, I think more that 20 deer.

    And than, all of a sudden, I saw something white again. just a glimpse of white behind one of the deer.

    It was another albino deer. What are the odd's. First I tough the one white deer walked back but I could still see it go in between the trees. There were two of them, two beautiful white ghosts.

    That was so cool and that just 200 meters from where we were staying. I desided to see if I could follow the group without bothering them that much. The forest was pretty thick covered with trees so I just hoped I could see them on more time.

    They walked in to a path way that is used by loggers, I could see them all, standing there and looking at me if I was some kind of danger ting.

    This picture if cropped very much. But the quality is still pretty good. they are so cute.

    And then I saw the second one to. She probbebly became a bit curious what they all were staring at.

    And here are the two ghosts together. What a wonderful sight that was.

    They started running back and forward around the place they were standing. They got a bit scared of me I think. I just stood there for a couple of minutes and I didn't want to scare them even more so I decided not to follow them further, I had enough pictures I think.

    I love this picture. I caught them just in between all those trees.

    What a beauty is this. Have you ever see an albino animal in real life?

    Thank you for reading and commenting om my stories.

        This must be quite rare... and with a shorter lifespan too, given that they're much more visible than others. Beautiful photos of this ghostly encounter Have a great day

          The locals say that the hunters wont shoot them because they think its giving them bad luck. Not sure what a wolf think of he sees a pale animal like that 😅

          Too bad you couldn't get closer of scope in on the white deer.

          Leucism is a genetic condition causing partial, rather than complete, loss of all pigmentation (melanin and others) in animals, resulting in white, pale, or patchy skin, hair, or feathers, typically with normally colored eyes. It differs from albinism, which involves a total lack of pigment, including in the eyes. While not a curable disease, it can make animals more visible to predators, reducing survival rates in the wild. Symptoms and Appearance Coloration: White or leucistic patches, spots, or splotches on skin, hair, scales, or feathers. Eyes: Contrary to albinism, leucistic animals typically have normally colored (dark) eyes, though they can sometimes be blue. Skin/Beak: The skin, legs, and beak often retain their normal color. Severity: Varies from nearly all-white to subtle patches of white feathers or fur.

          Albinos would have pink or red eyes, still these are exciting images, thank you for sharing

            Great photos! We had a white deer in a nearby town many years ago. I got to see it on several occasions, but that was nearly 10 years before the first smartphone, and I never got a picture.
