Witches Cove

In a moonless night on Casco Bay, two spirited young women glide silently over black waters, drawn together by a shared love of mystery. Ruth, a seasoned island girl, and Betty, a city newcomer, discover a beached schooner whose dark‑hued hold hides three striking bolts of red cloth—an odd clue that hints at secrets far beyond the ordinary wood‑carrying trade. Their curiosity is sparked when a foreign skipper’s sudden warning forces them to retreat, leaving the enigmatic fabric and the ship’s hidden purpose lingering in their thoughts.

As the tide carries the vessel back into the bay, the girls set out to explore the haunted silhouette of the Black Gull, an old six‑master that looms like a relic of a bygone maritime era. The night air, the creaking oars, and the distant glow of Portland’s harbor lights create an atmosphere thick with anticipation. Listeners are invited to join Ruth and Betty as they navigate the eerie coastline, uncovering hints of forgotten lives and unseen dangers that promise to deepen the intrigue.
