I almost hit a bear with my car and a ghost deer...

Living in Colorado it's not abnormal to have wildlife step right in front of your car, whether it's deer, wild turkeys or even bears.  There are even signs warning you to watch for wildlife crossing.  Twice while I lived in Colorado, I encountered bears driving.  Once on my way to meet some friends for a renaissance festival, I turned the corner and the direction I was supposed to drive there was a large bear walking upright like a person in the middle of the road.  The second time I was driving home from work at night, past Castlewood Canyon State Park.  A bear on all fours ran out from the forest into the middle of the road right in front of my car.  It happened so fast that I had to swerve and was shocked to see it was a bear, running back into the brush.  People hit deer all the time in Colorado, as sad as it is, you often see them dead on the side of the road.  So, one night I was driving home from work, and it was pitch black out.  Where I lived in Colorado at the time was in the country so there were hardly if any streetlights driving home.  I was driving when my headlights illuminated what looked like a deer, I didn't have time to slow down and all I could think was, oh my God I'm going to hit a deer.  When my car should have been running into the deer, it crossed in front my car and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  It was completely white and transparent; I could see right through it, and it had a ghostly mist around it.  I was literally looking at a ghost deer.  I was so shocked because I didn't even know that it was possible that there were animal spirits.  I believed in ghosts, but this is the first and only time that I had encountered an animal ghost.  Later I told my mum because I knew she would believe me; she had raised her children to be open minded after all.  When I told her what I had witnessed, all she could say was, how do you know it wasn't something else pretending to be a deer.  If it wasn't a ghost deer and was some sort of shapeshifter, that is a thousand times spookier than what I saw that night.
