📣 FROM THE STEAMBOAT GAZETTE — “LE GRAND CRI DE MINUIT” — Winds of W Mountain 📻 🌲 🌫️ 🕰️

Broadcast Notice: This episode contains local testimony, case notes, and folklore encounters concerning the midnight cry heard around Chateaugay Lake. The recording also includes mention of official inquiry, odd conduct near the general store, and unsettled woods talk.

At twelve o’clock midnight, no sooner and no later, one long cry rolls across Chateaugay Lake.

Some place it in the deep timber. Some swear it came from a canoe. One sober party laid it square on Percy’s general-store roof, where the only witness found was a loose shutter and a cat wearing the face of a magistrate.

The government men brought notepads, a spotlight, and that stiff manner common to fellows who expect trees to behave. East Bellmont answered with its usual public spirit: “Keeps the trees from wanderin’.”

But who gives the cry, and why does the forest sometimes seem to answer?

Set the receiver low, mind the static, and take the late hour as it comes. Draw near, neighbors; the Signal Desk has another queer reel from the lake country.
