The hunt for the Mystic Waterhorse, the children, and the dark thing that took them...

As the entire town mobilizes to search for the missing children, Christopher, Marguerite and Fox discover a doorway that leads to an enigmatic figure known as the Beach Witch, who warns that things may be even darker than they appear.

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.

RADIO EPISODE #269

What makes a monster a monster? Is it difference, as some believe? Is it about the harm a monster causes another? What I have learned is that monsters are often not what they seem.

"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."
