Squeaky Voice Teen - Scared They say the Sea Captain was raised by a kraken, and sails a ship made from the bones of lost sailors.
Squeaky Voice Teen - Scared Others say he's a lonely former mailman who wears a captain's hat as a conversation starter. Either way... spooky stuff!

Sea Captain I bet it never occurred to you to lick one of the anchors you guard, did it?
