Summary
Luna tells the story of a night in November 2003, when the trawler 'Evening Star' drifted dead in the water off the coast of Nantucket. The seas were glass-calm, the moon hidden behind a bank of cloud, and the only sound was the low hum of the engine room exhaust fan. That's when the wake light appeared — a cold white glow that didn't illuminate the water, but sat on the surface like a pearl on black velvet. The captain, an old fisherman named Elias Sykes, said he'd seen it before. Twice. Both times, someone died within the week. As the light circled the boat, slow and patient, Luna watched the crew's faces change. They began to whisper things they'd never told anyone. Things they'd done. Things they'd seen. The light didn't judge. It just listened. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #WakeLight #EliasSykes #EveningStar #Nantucket #November2003 #DeadCalm #WhisperedConfessions #SeaHorror #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #SoloNarrated #LunaReads #GhostStory #MaritimeMystery #OneNightEncounter Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
