Nickname: The Long Wake
Danger Ranking: 5D
First Reported: 1969-11-07 — Grays Harbor, WA
Summary:
The Long Wake refers to a persistent maritime anomaly that manifests along the Pacific Northwest coast during low-visibility maritime conditions—particularly dense fog, moonless nights, or solar eclipses. The phenomenon appears as the wake of a massive, unseen vessel moving just offshore. The disturbance measures approximately 200 meters in length and 20 meters in width, despite no visible ship present.
Audio recordings near the wake capture the low groan of rusted metal, chain drag, and occasional human voices calling for help in languages both modern and extinct. Ships that pass through the wake frequently experience electronic failure, compass spin, or temporary crew loss. Survivors describe seeing the silhouettes of sailors walking across the water, or watching their own ships from the waterline.
The wake always moves against the current.
Known Properties:
Containment Procedure:
The Long Wake is not stationary and cannot be captured by satellite imaging or sonar. Surveillance posts have been installed along Washington and Oregon’s more isolated lighthouses, operated by Field Unit GULL.
Maritime alerts should be issued under coded weather advisories whenever fog forms near high-risk zones. Civilian boats are to be redirected using falsified naval testing announcements.
Encounters must be logged immediately with full crew psych evals within 48 hours. Any vessel reporting unexplained rust formation or voice phenomena must undergo decontamination.
Never follow the wake. Do not respond to voices.
Encounters:
Recommendation:
Maintain coastal lighthouse watch rotations and continue triangulating patterns from wake paths. No investigative submersibles are to be launched without Level 5 clearance.
Any personnel who dream of “sailing a ship that’s not theirs” are to be temporarily reassigned.
