Man Overboard! by F. Marion Crawford ~ Full Audiobook [horror]

Man Overboard! by F. Marion Crawford audiobook.

Genre: horror

A storm howls across the sea as the schooner Helen B. Jackson fights to stay afloat, and in the chaos a cry rings out: man overboard. When the crew counts heads after the gale, one of the Benton twins is missing - Jim or Jack, so alike that even shipmates hesitate to swear which brother was swept away. The loss should be the end of it, another hard truth of life before the mast, yet strange details begin to accumulate: an extra place setting that appears to have been used, footsteps where no one is walking, a sense of company in the tight quarters of the ship. The narrator, a practical seaman with no taste for superstition, tries to explain away what he sees and hears, but the uncanny follows the surviving twin back to shore as well. With a young woman named Mamie waiting in his new life, the survivor should be able to begin again - if grief, guilt, and whatever came back from the storm will let him. Crawford blends nautical realism with a slow, chilling ghostly doubt about identity and the boundaries between the living and the dead.
