This first ghost ship video (below) is an
introduction into the legends of ghosts ships,
how sailors hail one another in mutual
recognition when passing by, and how
ghosts ships can be created through various
tragedies at sea.
Learn about the theories of how they come to
be, and the lore concerning man-less ships
that stay afloat, sometimes for many years.
Many ghost ships simply have no explanation
as to how they fell upon becoming the stuff of
legend, and their tales haunt the minds of
those who have seen them.

The Flying Dutchman ghost
ship is perhaps the most
legendary of all ghost
ships. A 1680 Dutch
Captain makes a swear
against God as legend
goes, and the ship and
crew are never heard from
again (alive, that is) after
being determined to sail
around the Cape of Good
Hope. They are seen
before other tragedies take
place at sea, for the Flying
Dutchman's souls will not
rest they say, until another
takes his place.

ship story below:

The Mary Celeste ghost
ship is considered one of
the most scariest ghost ship
stories told.
She was found in 1872 off
the coast of Gibraltar, with
tattered sails, and other odd
things. There was no sign
of the crew, but their
personal items and cargo
was intact.
The galley had a fresh, hot
meal ready to consume, but
the crew of this ghost ship
never returned to enjoy it.

Celeste ghost ship below...

The SS Watertown ghost
ship provided not only a
good ghost story from
1924, but a photograph
would later convince many
that the faces of two sailors
who died tragically
onboard, later appeared
beside the ship.
The ship's Captain took the
SS Watertown ghost photo
after seeing their images
appear in the waters along
side the ship.
Below is the documentary
concerning the photo and story
from the SS Watertown:

The haunted U65 German
submarine has a haunting
tale to tell. The second
officer was killed onboard in
an accidental explosion,
and seen on the ship from
time to time after that.
The crew was convinced
that the sub was haunted,
especially after a string of
bad luck. Eventually the
U65 was destroyed in 1918
by a horrible internal
explosion, which has left
many to believe the ghost
ship was cursed.
Below is the video ghost ship story
about the haunted U65 U-boat.

Haunted ghost ships still
captivate us today, and the
interest has only grown
since Johnny Depp and
cast thrilled us in the
Pirates of the Caribbean
movie trilogy.
Perhaps one day more
stories of ghost ships
being reported at sea will
surface, as their tales
seem to never end.
Modern-day tragedies at
sea still occur, and so do
the ghosts that eventually
haunt them...
