A thunder storm grips Port Hardy as wind and rain strike steel and timber through the night.

But this storm opens more than weather.

In the quiet after midnight, a presence crosses the fragile line between worlds. A young man appears unchanged by time, unaware that his life has already ended. Lost between sea and shore, he does not know he has passed.

Truth must be spoken plainly.

The Light does not arrive harsh or sudden. It waits. A door forms where kin remain. A brother stands beyond it.

And when understanding finally comes, Heaven’s Gate opens.

Some storms damage hulls.
Some storms open portals.
Some harbors join the living and the lost once — then let both go.

Haunted Harbor Havoc continues.

When a vessel drops anchor, it does not always find rest.

In winter fog off Nootka Sound, a working ship holds position above a shoreline where villages once stood — places erased quickly, without ceremony, without farewell. The dead were never taught how to leave.

Raven watches as stillness invites memory.

This episode tells of spirits who mistake steel for village ground, of warmth and light taken as welcome, and of how grief does not touch all souls the same. Some feel only pressure. Others open themselves without knowing it.

Stanley carried old wars inside him.
Alcohol loosened what should have remained sealed.
Through him, something waiting found voice and hands.

This is not a story of monsters.
It is a story of surrender.

Haunted Harbor Havoc is an Ask Raven series documenting moments when ships anchor over places that still remember.

Some ships are lost to storms.
Others are lost long before the sea arrives.

In this final chapter of the Spooky Sub Chaser Stories Trilogy, Raven circles the Quatsino and recounts three warnings the ship could not outrun:

A dockside sinking at Steveston, heavy with salmon and pride.
A near-capsize in the whirlpool waters of Kelsey Bay.
A fogbound run up the Fraser River that dragged a fisherman’s boat behind her.

These are not ghost stories.
They are records of drift — when speed replaces judgment, and denial outpaces repair.

Through poetry and memory, Raven tells how fear can live in steel, how fatigue can pass from hull to crew, and how debts ignored are eventually collected.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

Too fast to last.

Raven circles above a ship driven by twin engines and wounded pride.
Built for war. Worn by time. Masked by speed.

In Episode 2 of the Spooky SubChaser Stories Trilogy, Ask Raven tells of a vessel whose reputation hid its weakness — and of the warning that rose from below decks before the sea claimed its due.

Ships remember what men deny.
And the ocean keeps its own ledger.

This is EP2 of a true maritime trilogy — told in verse, carried by memory, and sealed by the sea.

WWII’s Deadliest Curse | The NorKing’s Dark Legacy
Spooky SubChaser Stories – Trilogy Episode 1

Ask Raven.

The wise one listens and answers with song,
from cedar shadows where old truths belong.

In this opening chapter of Spooky SubChaser Stories, Raven circles above The NorKing — a former WWII wooden-hulled subchaser, built for anti-magnetic warfare and later pressed into civilian service.

Her hull remembers every swell.
Her timbers carry fear, hierarchy, and silence.

This is not a ghost story alone.
It is spoken-word poetry shaped by maritime history, authority at sea, and the quiet damage left behind when systems outlive compassion.

One crew is lost.
One man survives.
And Raven keeps the ledger.

Spooky SubChaser Stories retells real maritime accounts through poetic narration, blending sea logs, gothic atmosphere, and spoken-word storytelling in the tradition of Poe.

Each episode stands alone.

Luck of the Irish: An Irish Sea Ferry Crossing

Ask Raven.
The wise one listens and answers with song.

In this ledger entry, Raven circles above the Irish Sea on Boxing Day—a gray and green crossing where history, labor, and patience converge. A working ferry moves through winter water carrying hundreds, unaware that routine is about to be questioned.

This is not a story of spectacle.
It is a story of pause.
Of power lost, anchors lowered, and time stretched thin.

Ask Raven reflects on what “luck” truly means at sea—not as charm or chance, but as alignment: preparation meeting restraint, skill meeting timing. The Irish Sea has seen countless crossings, and it keeps account not only of what is taken, but of what is allowed to pass.

Listen closely.
Some stories are loud.
Others leave no mark at all—except in the ledger.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

Ask Raven — the wise one listens, and answers with song.

A lone sailor crosses the Tasman Sea under brutal conditions.
No crew. No engine. No certainty.
Only discipline, endurance, and the quiet weight of time.

When the mast is struck and direction is lost, the sea does not rage.
It waits.
And waiting becomes the test.

This spoken-word sea story reflects on survival, restraint, and the moments when rescue is not loud — only earned.

Ask Raven — Ship in Distress: Boxing Day Rescue on the North Sea

Ask Raven — where the wise one watches from above and memory moves like wings over water.

On the North Sea, Boxing Day doesn’t mean leftovers or quiet houses. It means short daylight, winter seas, and choices that matter. A fishing vessel loses power. No storm, no flames—just silence, and winter removing the margin.

Raven circles above.
Not to judge, not to interfere—only to remember.

This is the story of hands finding hands across cold water,
of trained calm instead of panic,
and of a rescue measured not in noise,
but in will.
