## Resource

Late October, two years ago, Luna took a room at the Grey Gull Inn on the coast of Maine—a narrow Victorian boarding house built on a shelf of rock above the tide. The place was nearly empty. The only other guest was a man named Elias, who did not sleep. Each night he sat by the picture window in the parlor, watching a battered depth sounder he had salvaged from a wreck. He told Luna he was waiting for the machine to register something it had never shown before—a contour that did not match any chart. The innkeeper said Elias had been there six weeks, losing weight, refusing to leave. On Luna's last night, the sounder began to ping at irregular intervals, faster and faster, while the screen glowed with a shape that could not be real. This episode is about waiting for proof of something you already believe, and what happens when the proof arrives in the wrong shape. #GreyGullInn #MaineCoast #Elias #DepthSounder #Wreck #Contour #Ping #October #BoardingHouse #Tide #Adrift #Uncharted #Witness #Night #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #Luna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
