Summary

Off the rocky coast of Maine lies Great Wass Island, a place where tragedy and legend meet. In this episode of New England Legends, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger chase the eerie tale of a phantom dog said to roam the shoreline. Born of a shipwreck in the mid-1800s, this ghostly hound barks and howls at passing ships, warning them of the same fate that claimed its crew. But Great Wass has seen many wrecks—before and after this dog’s haunting began. Is the spectral canine a restless survivor… or a guardian spirit of the sea?

0:50.1	Man, the seas are a little rough today, Jeff.
0:52.2	I'm not loving this boat ride off the coast of Maine. Ray, I'm with you. I'm a little bit seasick. And the way those waves are smashing into the rocks of Great Wasis Island, it just looks ominous. And if we get too close with our boat, that'd be bad. Very bad. So we're sailing a piece of water off the southern tip of Great Wasis Island near Pond Point, and Crumple Island is just
1:12.1	about a quarter of a mile to our southwest. This area has been called the most dismal place
1:18.1	on the whole ocean. Yeah, and I can see why. And I don't like the name Crumple Island either.
1:23.8	If we smash into it, that's pretty much what's going to happen to the boat. That's exactly what's going to happen to our boat. And if we did smash up, either against
1:31.3	Crumple or Great Woss Island, would be far from the first to do so. These waters are part
1:37.2	graveyard. Ships and lives have been lost right where we're sailing. You're not making me feel
1:42.4	any better. Well, I'm about to make you feel worse.
1:45.5	Did you hear that?
1:46.3	Yeah, that howl? I did.
1:48.4	That's the reason we're sailing out here off the coast of Maine.
1:51.4	We're searching for the ghost dog of Great Wasse Island.

1:59.9	And I'm Ray Osier. Welcome to episode 400.
