At 11:55 p.m. on April 20, 1980, old Mr. Machen tells a group of children one last ghost story around a bright campfire. He recounts the events of April 21, 1880 — events that will soon be one hundred years old...

Then the crew saw a fire burning through the mist. Believing it to be a lighthouse, the ship steered towards the illumination, only to discover it was a campfire burning on the shore. The ship smashed into the rocks, and the men of the ship died an icy, cold death. The fog lifted and receded back across the ocean, never to be seen again. But it is told that when the fog returns to Antonio Bay, the men of the Elizabeth Dane will rise up from their watery graves and seek out the campfire that led them to their dark deaths at the bottom of the sea...
