August 22, 2025 Manuscript Found in a Bottle by Edgar Allan Poe: Shipwreck & Supernatural Sea Horror
A shipwreck survivor finds refuge aboard a ghost ship whose old crew seem unable to see him. Edgar Allan Poe's MS.

This Weekly Spooky reading of Poe's 1833 story brings Gothic sea horror, isolation, and a voyage beyond human understanding into focus. As the black vessel sails farther from the known world, recording what happens may be the narrator's only chance to leave a trace.
