You're listening to Unexplained, with me Richard McLean Smith.

We are the witchcraft, part three.

The man introduced himself as Captain Hubbard, though Jack could call him Ron, he said,

flashing a wide wolfish grin as he buttoned up his shirt.

Ron had just been showing some of the other guests his battle scars when Jack walked into the kitchen.

It was the squeals of delight coming from the small crowd surrounding the enigmatic guest

that had first drawn Jack's attention. As Ron repeated for his host, those scars just below

his ribs were from the arrows he had taken, after being attacked by a local tribe while

journeying through the South American jungle. Ron, it turned out, was quite the explorer as he went

from a nearby ice-flow. Only after it had succeeded in chasing half the crew off the vessel,

had Ron finally been able to bring it down. Jack could only laugh at the audacity of it all.

That evening, as the party continued late into the night, Hubbard entertained all with the

extraordinary tales of his daring adventures. For Jack, like many of those who had been fortunate

to escape the fighting, it was Hubbard's war stories that excited the most, and Ron was only too

happy to oblige. Telling the guests about the one time he commanded anti-submarine vessels

of the coast of California, and had sunk at least two Japanese submarines. Though he wasn't at

the island of Java on a raft he had built himself, including being shot and breaking his foot.
