S2 Ep27: The Light Beneath the Boats
In tonight's dead letter, Eric, a longtime listener on active duty in the Navy, pulls into Juneau, Alaska for a port call in the summer of 2009 and hikes up the Mount Roberts trail for the view over the harbor. Around eleven in the morning, in full daylight, he watches a perfectly round patch of light — a little bigger than a manhole cover, a shade lighter than the water — glide from boat to boat, slip under the cruise-ship dock, and circle a small float out in the middle of the channel. It never changes shape, never touches anything but the water, and as best he can tell, he's the only one who sees it. Then he hikes all the way down to that dock to find out what it was.REFERENCE LINKSRelated Astonishing Legends Episodes<br /><br /><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0M12wpFP1JCkP6EgJE7ptM" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Edgar Cayce Story Part 1<br /></a><br /><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/20PwwC2p9Kq97H7yX370kO" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Sallie House – Ghost in the Machine Part 1<br /></a><br /><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5JUnHJfuRup7niU5Wtd20o?si=565c27d5cfcd43d9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Sludge Entity Part 1<br /></a><br />Background & Topics<br /><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidentified_submerged_object" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs) — Wikipedia<br /></a><br /><a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81674441" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Investigation Alien (George Knapp) — Netflix<br /></a><br /><a href="https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=136922" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The "Plasmoids" Paper — Journal of Modern Physics (2024)<br /></a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_fighter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Foo Fighters (WWII) — Wikipedia<br /></a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_Tower" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower — Wikipedia<br /></a><br /><a href="https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Media/News/Article/3157375/acoustic-research-detachment-carderocks-hidden-gem-for-acoustic-signatures-test/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lake Pend Oreille Acoustic Research Detachment (U.S. Navy)<br /></a><br /><a href="https://www.alaska.org/detail/mount-roberts-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mount Roberts Trail, Juneau — Alaska.org<br /></a><br /><a href="https://www.americanghostwalks.com/tour/ketchikan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">American Ghost Walks: Ketchikan Ghost Tour<br /></a><br />We're looking for more stories!

S2 Ep26: The Ghost with No Nose
In tonight's dead letter, our listener Kayla takes her two-and-a-half-year-old son to a private family viewing for his great-grandmother and keeps him in a back room so his last memory won't be the casket. All night, unprompted, he pulls relatives into that room to show them a ghost sitting in the corner with an unusual facial feature…or lack of one. As they leave, his mother — who'll tell you straight out she's a skeptic — stops at the chair and quietly tells whatever's there it's not welcome to follow them home. What happens over the next few weeks is why she finally wrote to us.REFERENCE LINKSRelated Astonishing Legends Episodes<a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/3vs8HMK0RYkaKramySxzkR?si=1a1bb34e73b3472d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ep 85: The Bell Witch Part 1</a> Background & Further Reading<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Witch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bell Witch — Wikipedia<br /></a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adams,_Tennessee" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Adams, Tennessee (the Bell Witch's Red River community) — Wikipedia<br /></a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_person" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shadow Person — Wikipedia<br /></a><br /><a href="https://www.zerotothree.org/resource/discussing-death-with-young-children/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Discussing Death With Young Children — ZERO TO THREE<br /></a>We're looking for more stories!
