A Misfit Ghost

A chill-swept classic of the sea, A Misfit Ghost unspools like a sworn statement from the wardroom of a U.S. Coast Survey schooner. Newly assigned to the Eagre—a yacht with a tragic past—Lieutenant King meets the ship’s silent resident: an elderly mariner who appears in the port cabin, regards the living with downcast eyes, and vanishes without a trace. Every officer has seen him. None can explain him. And when, on New Year’s Eve, the sliding doors seal themselves as a toast is raised in his honor, the haunting becomes part of the vessel’s very identity. Matthew Guldner’s evocative performance brings salt spray, creaking timbers, and the uneasy camaraderie of life at sea to vivid life, trading hearthside hauntings for open water and the dread of an ocean night. This compact, atmospheric tale blends maritime lore with classic ghost-story chills—perfect for fans of nautical fiction, supernatural suspense, and eerie stories you can devour in a single sitting.
