Germany meets Qatar at the start of the Handball World Championship.

Between the posts, the DHB relies on Andreas Wolff, who is afraid of ghosts.

Katowice – Handball World Championship in Poland and Sweden: The German national team will face Qatar, Serbia and Algeria in the group phase.

On the field, hopes for the World Cup rest on Juri Knorr - between the posts, DHB coach Alfred-Gislason relies on Andreas Wolff.

The 1.98-metre-tall chicken will continue to throw himself into every ball in the coming days, but curiously he has suffered from phasmophobia since he was young.

Wolff is afraid of ghosts.

A look back at 2016: Andreas Wolff is celebrating one of his greatest successes.

Surprisingly, national coach Dagur Sigurdsson lets the then 24-year-old start between the posts and Wolff reacts brilliantly.

He plays his way into the all-star team of the European Championship and, thanks to outstanding saves, wins the title with Germany.

Celebrated by the fans for his down-to-earth nature, the demand for Wolff is increasing.

Andreas Wolff in an interview with the Sportschau: "I am convinced that there are ghosts"

As a guest on "Schlag den Star" or other TV shows.

Wolff develops into a media magnet.

And in the first, the fearless-looking Wolff makes a surprising confession in 2016.

"I am convinced that ghosts exist," says Wolff.

"I have a hard time sleeping in the apartment alone after a horror movie."

Wolff developed the fear of ghosts at a young age.

"I was already an enthusiastic reader as a child, so you read a thing or two and adopt it into your personality," explained Wolff.

And Wolff actually believes in ghosts.

Especially since, according to statements, there was a proof photo with a teammate at the time.

"That was really scary.

Something stood between us.

Looked like a face with a mouth and nose," says Wolff.

The photo was lost along with the cell phone shortly afterwards.

Girlfriend Samira Bothe does not take Andreas Wolff's fear seriously

Wolff is now playing in Poland with Kielce and is currently in top form again.

Now he wants to win the title with Germany in his adopted country despite outsider chances.

"Theoretically, I could go home after the games and see if everything is okay in my apartment," says Wolff.

His girlfriend Samira, who can deal with the fear of ghosts quite well, is probably waiting for him there.

"She even thinks it's funny.

She is happy every time.

And then always accompanies it with a lot of malice..."
