Richard Kühnau: Schlesische Sagen 1 - Spuk- und Gespenstersagen (1910, B.G. Teubner) 5 stars

"If you go from Brosdorf to Wagstadt, then you'll see a green space on the right side of the road in the vicinity of a red cross. At night, between twelve and one o'clock, a doe is frequently seen there. This doe is noteworthy for its unusually fiery eyes, which bulge and are as large as a fist..."
