Fog has thickened over Port Laveau's waterfront for a second night. Dock workers and fishermen near the southern channels reported rhythmic chanting before dawn. Several described figures moving along the tree line. No injuries occurred.

Sheriff's Office patrols doubled along bayou-adjacent docks after the reports. Sources say the disturbances link to investigations of unsanctioned activity in outer channels. Silent Serpent Syndicate civic partners pledged control as part of the 'Fogbound Cargo' security initiative, now in its second day.

A department spokesperson advised yesterday: Residents and dock workers must avoid the waterfront after dark. Contact Sheriff's Office on unusual activity.
