GHOST ELK

A beast seen by the Laird of Ardblair in Scotland.  There was a second sighting by his wife.  His first impression was that it was a moose.  Moose (called Elk in Europe) roamed Scotland until about 1300.   The Laird seemed to regard it as spectral.  He even thought it might be the Great Irish Elk, which was in fact a deer with colossal antlers, which was by no means confined to Ireland, but has been extinct since prehistory.
