Close your eyes and step into a 1970s living room, where static from a dead channel begins to form shapes on the screen. A group of adults on a nostalgia forum discuss a children's show they all remember—a pirate puppet named Percy, a ship with a human face, and a villain called the Skin-Taker who claimed to grind the flesh of children [citation:5]. As they share more memories, the show becomes increasingly disturbing: episodes where puppets screamed for thirty minutes, a figure in the corner of the screen moving differently from the others, and a voice that seemed to come from behind the television instead of from its speakers [citation:3]. Then one user asks their mother about the show, and she delivers the final, terrifying answer: "You used to tell me you were going to watch Candle Cove. You'd tune the TV to a dead channel and sit there for thirty minutes, just staring at the static" [citation:5]. This is the story of a pirate show that was never broadcast—a hallucination shared by children who tuned into the void.
