Luna remembers a night she spent anchored in Mermaid's Purse, a narrow channel off the coast of Matunuck, Rhode Island, in late October of 2018. She was alone, waiting for the tide to turn, when she heard a bell ringing from the water. Not a buoy bell—something smaller, closer, with a dull, wet clapper. She followed the sound in her skiff, and found a woman standing waist-deep in the frigid black water, holding a handbell, ringing it in slow, steady strokes. The woman wouldn't speak, wouldn't look at her, just kept ringing as the tide rose. Luna stayed until dawn, watching her sink inch by inch, never pausing, never stopping. This episode is a meditation on the things we cannot save, and the sounds that follow us home.

Luna recalls a night in the fall of 2018 when she anchored off Drowned Creek, a narrow channel near Long Pine, Georgia, to wait out a storm. The rain stopped, the fog rolled in, and she heard a sound she still can't place: the slow, rhythmic creak of a rocking cradle coming from a house that wasn't supposed to be there. She tells the story of what she saw through the window—a woman in a nightgown, a cradle with no floor, and something that reached up from the water. There is no ghost story here, no explanation. Only a memory that clings like damp rot.

In the summer of 1998, Luna's uncle ran the marina at Shadyside Dock on Lake Champlain. One August night, she stayed late to help him retie a drifting pontoon. That's when the light appeared under the water — a pale, steady glow moving in a straight line against the current. Uncle Roy said it was just a mudpuppy with a flashlight. But he wouldn't take the boat out after dark for the rest of the season. Luna remembers the way the light seemed to pause under the hull, and the sound of something scraping the boards beneath her feet.

December 2023. The night after a nor'easter, Luna motors out past Gannet's Ledge to check on a bell buoy that's been silent for three days. She finds the buoy still floating, its clapper gone, and a man sitting on the chain plate in a yellow raincoat that belongs to a fisherman who went missing ten years ago. He doesn't speak. He doesn't shiver. He just points east, toward the open ocean, where the fog is thickest and the water goes black. This episode is a quiet, salt-stained encounter with something that waits where the charts end. Not a monster. Not a ghost. Just a presence that has been patient for a very long time. Luna sits with him until the tide turns, and when she looks back to the buoy, he is gone. The clapper is back. It rings once, twice, then falls silent again. She doesn't tell anyone. She doesn't sleep. She doesn't go back.

Luna recounts a night in early November when she helped an old boatwright named Elias haul a skiff from the mud at Blackwater Landing. The boat had been sunk for thirty years—a wooden sloop called the Adeline that went down in a squall with its owner still aboard. Elias found the hull perfectly preserved in the silt, the varnish still glossy, a lantern still burning in the forward berth. Luna describes the pull of the winch, the groan of the timber, and what they saw when the keel cleared the water: a pair of boots, upright on the riverbed, laced tight, standing empty. She never asked Elias what he did with the boat. But she remembers the way he let the winch slip, just for a second, so the keel slammed back down into the mud.

In the summer of 2017, Luna was hired to document the last night of the Parker's Landing ferry—a century-old chain-drawn scow that crossed the Nottoway River in coastal Virginia. The ferryman, a quiet man named Eli Wainwright, had been running it alone for forty years. As the midnight crossing approached, Luna noticed the ferry never touched the opposite bank. It stopped dead in the channel, the chain humming a low note she could feel in her chest. What Eli told her, standing at the bow in the fog, changed how she hears water at night. This is that story.

In the summer of 2008, a lobsterman named August Treadwell hauled something out of the water thirty miles off Owl’s Head, Maine. It wasn’t a fish. It wasn’t a trap. It was a leather satchel, sealed with tar, and inside was a journal written in a language no one could read. August kept it in his wheelhouse for three weeks. By the time the Coast Guard found his boat drifting off Sister Shoals, he was gone. The boat was intact. The coffee was still warm. The journal was open to the last page. This is what August’s sister told me, sitting in her kitchen with the lights off, while a foghorn sounded through the window. She said August had been hearing a voice at night. A woman’s voice, calling from the water. And on the last page of that journal, in August’s own handwriting, was a single line — a name. Her name.

October 1987. Luna's uncle Mo takes her night-fishing on the Pamlico River, anchoring near the rotted remains of Gum Swamp Landing — a place the old-timers say was never fully abandoned. He tells her about the lantern you sometimes see floating above the water, how it moves against the current, how the men who followed it were never found. That night, Luna sees it for herself. A single point of yellow light, drifting through the fog. And she learns what happens when the light decides to follow you back.

September 2023, just outside a town called Oysterback on the Virginia tidewater. A man named Caleb Tolliver finds a sealed pine box wedged in the reeds along Eelgrass Creek at low tide. Inside is not a body but a handwritten logbook dated 1957, the entries growing shorter and stranger over a two-week period. Luna pieces together what happened to the man who built the coffin—a waterman named Ezra Pell who believed something was pulling him down by the roots. This episode is about the weight of what we carry, and what carries us back.

A foggy November night at Whiskey Point, a narrow spit of land jutting into Pamlico Sound. Luna recalls the old story of the whistle — a brass train whistle that washes ashore after every big storm, always found by someone who needs to hear it. She tells of a woman named Cora who found it last autumn, and the quiet, terrible thing it did to her. No ghosts, no monsters — just a sound that knows where you live. A slow, intimate story about the things we carry and the shapes we make of grief.
