Monster & Myth

Beards carry stories. Some of them never die.

On #WorldBeardDay, we honor “The Last Meal,” the ghostly cook of Juneau’s Steamship Wharf. ⚓👻

An older white-bearded man in a dark knit cap and coat stands on a fog-shrouded pier at night, holding a lantern that casts a warm glow against the mist. He wears a light blue Monster & Myth “Paranormal Field Guide” T-shirt featuring “The Last Meal — Steamship Wharf, Juneau, Alaska.” The shirt displays a vintage illustration of a grizzled cook from maritime ghost lore. The man’s stern expression, the weathered wooden pier, and glowing lamps disappearing into the fog evoke both seafaring resilience and chilling ghost stories.
