While the sun is shining and the islands of the bay are as perfect as a postcard, it's hard to imagine what happened in this cove. The thing that finally scared Fox into telling us about Gnarwhal. He cannot explain the strange events that occurred the day he returned here to look for the waterhorse with the intention of befriending it, so we must try. ---- Written by: Christopher Reynaga & Marguerite Croft Produced by: Christopher Reynaga Story Development and Story Editing by Marguerite Croft Fox is the voice of himself.   Our featured song is "So Tired" by Nine inch Nails from their album, Ghosts VI.

RADIO EPISODE #269 What makes a monster a monster? Is it difference, as some believe? Is it about the harm a monster causes another?

If you have heard our independent radio show, of magic, mystery and the unexplained then you know there is a place and a secret that has been kept from all of us. Now discover the real story behind Point Mystic...   "The first sign that calls you to Point Mystic you might dismiss, but you couldn't mistake the second. Not if you have ever been to the light at the end of the world.  It's a sensation that begins with the growing feeling that you belong somewhere else. Somewhere that doesn't make sense. Maybe you are standing  on the edge of the woods or an abandoned field, or your own back yard. And behind you is the world you know. A world you are standing on the edge of, with all the light and the chatter, the furrowed faces and routine voices of everything you have ever known. You might even like that world, love the people in it. But in your heart, you know that you don't really fit. That you have always been on the margins of it, looking for a way in that you cannot find.   And, inexplicably, you sense the way out there. You feel it like a sensation in your chest, pulling you forward. You sense it like a familiar voice that's called your name, somewhere just beyond the trees. And you want to follow that voice. And if you have the courage to listen to it, you begin to walk into the unknown, and away from the bright lights of civilization behind you."   This and other Point Mystic Community episodes are available at our "A Home By The Sea" exclusive Patreon content level and above.

There are many monsters in this world, but few are as dangerous or as pervasive as the monster that is racism. I sat down to talk about this with my friend - a person that you know from our radio show as the voice of our neighbor Angela, but who is also known in activist circles by the name Xochitl. In this interview, you'll have the opportunity to hear Xochitl's own words on what it is to be Black in America, and to Xochitl's protest experiences from this time, which are much like the current worldwide protests against the murder of so many Black lives.

RADIO EPISODE #261 Normally I would have Lilly Forster tell you her story, but she can’t.  She’s taken a vow of silence, and the story I’m about to share with you had been relayed by writing on a notepad at a picnic table outside of our town’s lighthouse, in one of the strangest interviews I’ve gotten in this show’s history. The story she has to tell is a hard one to take in. It involves a traveler from what may be another world, an eye transplant from what may be one of television’s most famous detectives, and the talent to see death. On our season finale, not all who are lost… wander.  It’s time to reveal the secret of Point Mystic.   (Continued in The Secret of Point Mystic Pt. 2)   Visit our Point Mystic Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/OctoberIsle
