About this listen

I’m not a detective. No badge. No papers. No fedora. Just a man who looked too closely into a missing person’s case — and didn’t come back whole. Now I live in a house they call Cry Wolf Cottage. It’s not meant kindly. The neighbours use it to mock the paranoid recluse who finds patterns in the noise, and crimes in the patterns. But I know what I saw last week. A girl in a yellow raincoat. And the man who dragged her away. No one here believes me. Maybe someone out there will.© Darrell Shayler 2025. All rights reserved.

  • The Girl Who Isn't Missing
    Jul 4 2025

    A girl in a yellow raincoat. And the quiet village that doesn’t want to know.

    After years spent retreating from the world, the man in Cry Wolf Cottage sees something he can’t ignore. No one else will listen. But maybe this recording will reach someone out there who will.

    Cry Wolf Cottage is a mystery podcast told through the eyes of a recluse with a troubled past, a tangled mind, and a meticulous archive of what others dismiss as coincidence.
