For many people it’s not uncommon to spot a deer hanging around their home, but the sight of one deer recently left one couple stunned — a “ghost” sighting right in time for Halloween.Abbey Cabler, of Spring Hill, Tennessee, was startled on Tuesday morning by her husband, who urged her to rush outside quickly, according to WKRN.She ran out to their yard, and her husband told her he had spotted an unusual sight: a white deer. A white deer, sometimes called a “ghost of the forest,” is a very rare sight. This deer is an albino (as evidenced by his red eyes), a trait found in just one in 30,000 deer. Piebald deer, who have patterns of white spots, are more common than albinos but are also rare.
The deer reportedly made a second appearance on their property on Wednesday. They have started calling the deer “Casper.” “It’s close to Halloween and he was there and then he was gone, so it kind of felt like Casper the friendly albino deer,” Abbey said.
