Background
Mr. Machen is a resident of Antonio Bay, California.
During the events of The Fog (1980) played by John Houseman
At 11:55 p.m., Mr. Machen tells a group of Children, including Andy, a story of an event that happened 100 years ago on the soon to be same day on the 21st of April in the waters near Spivey Point in Antonio Bay. He continues that a small clipper ship named the Elizabeth Dane floated towards the shore when a fog rolled in. They steered a course towards a light they saw, which turned out to be just a campfire and the ship crashed against the rocks. The ship then sank along with everyone on board. He says that through generations, fisherman have told the tale that someday, the dead will rise up and search for the campfire that led to their deaths.
