Summary

Luna recalls meeting a woman named Ada who served as the lone night watch at Fathom Sound, a defunct Coast Guard station on the Maine coast. Every night for ten years, Ada would walk the breakwater under a quarter-moon, logging her rounds in a ledger that grew thick with weather and emptiness. When Luna spent a season on the island doing marine work, Ada confided that something had begun to answer her rounds — not from the mainland, but from the far side of the fog. By the time Luna left, Ada's logs had turned from measurements to a one-sided conversation, and the last entry she showed Luna was not in her handwriting. A quiet, chilling story about isolation, routine, and the slow erosion of a solitary mind. #FathomSound #Ada #Maine #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #CoastGuard #NightWatch #Breakwater #Isolation #Lighthouse #Fog #MaritimeHorror #SlowBurn #UnreliableNarrator #Solitude #Journal #MaineCoast #Atmospheric Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
