The Last Ferry to Grayling Island

October 1987. The last ferry of the night to Grayling Island, a narrow spit of land in the Chesapeake where a handful of families once lived year-round. Luna's aunt had a standing invitation to visit the old lighthouse keeper's cottage, but she'd never taken the night boat until that autumn. The crossing takes forty minutes. The ferryman doesn't speak. The other passengers—a woman in a lavender coat, an old man clutching a leather satchel, a boy with a toy boat—all seem to know something she doesn't. By the time the dock appears through the fog, Luna understands why the island's last residents left in a single week, and why the ferry schedule was quietly reduced to one crossing per night. She never made it to the cottage. This is the story of what she found at the end of the pier instead. A quiet, aching episode about longing, salt water, and the things that wait on islands long after the people are gone. #GraylingIsland #ChesapeakeBay #Ferryman #LighthouseKeeperCottage #October1987 #Fog #LastBoat #IslandHorror #GhostStory #Atmospheric #SlowBurn #SaltWater #Pier #AbandonedHomes #NightCrossing #Solitude #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
