The Ghost Ship on the Platte | S 3 E 7
from Dawson's Den | Radio Theater, Western Swing & Tall Tales Hosted by Will Dawson
Will dims the lamps in the Den and settles in for one of Wyoming’s oldest, coldest legends — the phantom ship said to drift along the Platte River when the fog hangs low and the world goes quiet. Some swear they’ve seen it: a deck rimmed in frost, a crew made of shadows, a lantern glow that doesn’t belong to this side of the veil. And the old-timers whisper the same warning:If that ship shows itself to you, someone close won’t see another sunrise. Just a story… ain’t it? With sound effects curling through the rafters like river mist — creaking timbers, distant bells, water slapping against something that shouldn’t be there — Will guides listeners through a tale that’s haunted Wyoming campfires for generations. A spooky night in the Den.A river that remembers.And a legend that might be more than wind and water.
