SEASON 1, EPISODE 22 THE PIRATE'S PROMISE The seaside village of Whaler's Point is filled with the colorful legends of Angus McBride, an infamous pirate whose crew mutinied in 1720 and set him adrift to perish at sea. Arriving in town to retrieve a cursed foghorn, Ryan and Micki are regaled by the town drunk, Barney, who tells them stories of missing persons. Although local historian Dewey Covington dismissed Barney's stories, he does reveal that the foghorn was sold to the late keeper of the lighthouse. When questioned, Joe Fenton, the new caretaker, claims he sold the foghorn to an old man in a boat. When in reality, he knows exactly where it is because he has been using it in a violent series of murders, all aimed at claiming a fortune lost at sea. CAST & CREW RYAN DALLION- JOHN D.
