The Specter Moose is a legendary, giant white moose that is said to roam the Maine woods. It is believed to be able to appear and disappear, walk through solid objects, and wander between the spiritual and material worlds. Sightings of the Specter Moose have been reported for as long as people have hunted moose in the area. Some say the Specter Moose is an albino moose, while others say it is more ghostly in nature. There were many reports of a huge all-white moose, and accounts of the beast were reported in newspapers around the state and the New York Times. Maine's specter moose would appear in newspaper headlines 1901, 1917 and 1932. “The enormous moose that has been the wonder of the sportsmen in northern Maine since 1891 has again been seen ….. Every story that comes from the north woods concerning this moose makes him a little bigger than before. It is generally believed that no moose ever killed in Maine, or, so far as is known, anywhere else, has approached in stature or weight, much less in spread of antlers, this specter moose of Lobster Lake.” — Williston, North Dakota Graphic, December 06, 1900 Inspired by these old reports, legends and myths, Anderson Design Group poster artists hand-rendered a vintage-styled poster of the mysterious Spectre Moose, an original illustration and retro design crafted in a fashion that’s reminiscent of the golden age of poster art, vintage art, Art Deco, and classic travel illustrations. This iconic monster design is available as a poster print (framed or unframed), canvas, metal sign, mini-canvas, or as a notecard or postcard, including with multiple size options available for prints, canvases, mini-canvases, and metal signs.
