  • Summary

  • Throughout maritime history, ships have been found drifting with crews mysteriously vanished, leaving behind half-eaten meals and personal belongings undisturbed. The Mary Celeste in 1872, the Carroll A. Deering in 1921, and even modern vessels like the Kaz II in 2007 share the same eerie pattern – perfectly seaworthy ships abandoned in an instant.

    Some ghost ships reveal more disturbing scenes, like the Ourang Medan, where an entire crew was found dead with faces frozen in terror. Others seemingly travel through time, appearing decades after their disappearance or in impossible locations.

    Most fascinating is the legend of a Spanish galleon found deep in the Mojave Desert, miles from any ocean. These maritime mysteries span centuries and oceans, reminding us that despite our technology, some things remain beyond human understanding.

Great show, as always....

The Why Files is one of my favorite Podcasts. When I was a kid, I used to read about ships that disappeared and ghost ships. This show brought back a lot of memories. AJ presented these stories in his usual awesome way and Heckelfish added his usual comedy. I prefer these full shows to the stripped ones. Thanks for another intriguing show, AJ. Can't wait for the next one. :)
