Description

A quiet night on a remote island is shattered when a teenage boy named Willie swears he saw a luminous, white figure gliding down a cliff near the local golf course. His story spreads through the small community, echoing other unsettling reports of ghost‑like beings that have been whispered about around the secluded Somerset shore. Skeptical yet intrigued, his friends Don and the narrator, Bob, listen as even the Dorrance family’s own Jane recounts a similar sighting from her bedroom window, a pale apparition that seemed to stare directly at her.

Compelled by a mixture of curiosity and dread, the trio decides to chase the strange presence, arming themselves with a shotgun and a resolve to confront whatever haunts the night. As they venture toward the beach, the atmosphere grows increasingly eerie, hinting that these “ghosts” may be something far more alien than simple folklore. The story follows their uneasy trek into the unknown, where every rustle and flash of moonlight could be the first glimpse of an otherworldly invasion.
