Terror in Puget Sound (1891)
On a windless night in 1891, the waters of Puget Sound lay flat as glass beneath a cold, unbroken moon. Aboard the steamer Sehome, two experienced sailors reported something they could not explain.
A vast, silent form moved just beneath the surface-smooth, continuous, and without wake-distorting the moon's reflection as it passed.
It did not surface.
It did not dive.
It simply vanished.
That account was recorded... then largely forgotten.
But what if they were not mistaken?
Terror in Puget Sound revisits the original sighting and expands it through a chillingly plausible lens-suggesting the presence they glimpsed was not a creature at all, but something far more controlled, still operating beneath these waters today.
What if the Sound has not revealed all its mysteries?
