The first story you'll hear is called The Perfect Bait, and it's about a fishing trip that turns into a tragedy. And the second and final story you'll hear is called The Gray Blanket, and it's about Japanese fishermen who endure a two-week-long nightmare that would mark the first time in history humans experienced a particularly terrifying phenomenon.
But before we get into today's stories, if you're a fan of the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to the right podcast because that's all we do and we upload twice a week, once on Monday and once on Thursday.
So if that's of interest to you, the next time the follow button is fast asleep, secretly take their phone and change their language setting to Chalkatongo Mixtec. Okay, let's get into our first story called The Perfect Bait.
Lamont Jones is shattered when his cousin dies just weeks after entering prison. The official report says natural causes, but bruises and missing teeth tell a different story. Wondery presents Death County PA, a chilling true story of corruption and cover-ups. Follow Death County PA on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.
At around 1 a.m. on August 27, 2000, a fisherman named Sam Watts did his best to keep his balance on the wet deck of the huge commercial fishing boat that he was working on. And as he tried to do that, he looked over at his crewmate, Michael Edwards, another fisherman, who was grabbing onto the mast as the ship rocked underneath their feet.
Sam and Michael and the four other crew members onboard this boat had just dropped their anchor 56 miles off the northeast coast of Queensland, Australia. And up until about an hour earlier, the sea had been very calm. But now, you know, this huge storm had rolled in, the wind had picked up, the waves were huge.
And while the four other crew members had already gone below to try to catch some sleep, Sam and Michael were now on the deck doing their best to try to secure everything before they went down below.
And so as the wind is whipping and the waves are smashing against the side of this boat, Sam and Michael decide they should split up to work more efficiently, where Sam will go to the front of the boat, then Michael will go to the back of the boat, and they would each kind of work towards the middle of the boat, checking all the fastenings and the knots to make sure everything was good.
