Hey there, DETECTIVES! DETECTIVE WRITER here to tell you all about a supposed legend/myth of a mysterious ship that had murdered the entire crew under suspicious circumstances: The SS Ourang Medan ship.
Spooky looking huh? Well, just wait until you hear the rest of this tale. It is rumored that during the late 1940s, the ghost ship was sailing to Costa Rica carrying cargo when suddenly, the ship began distress messages to a few ships around but when the ship had received rescuers, they were met with the whole crew and even ship dog dead. Allegedly, they lay on their backs, with no or little physical injuries and faces shaped in such terror.
Caution warning for the next image below, feel free to obscure and scroll forward.
Now, keep in mind that there has never been an official registration for this alleged ship and a few ships that have searched for the wreck have had no success. But regardless, I mean, even hearing of a ghost ship where the entire crew was killed of suspicious circumstances is creepy enough right?
There have been a few theories that the ship may have been part of a smuggling operation, taken over by pirates, or filled with carbon monoxide poisoning, but nothing has ever been proven since the ship has never been found nor has evidence been provided that the SS Ourang Medan has actually existed in history.
I hope you have enjoyed this storytime as much as I did, DETECTIVES! Please let me know in the comments if you want to have more storytime! Have a great day, night, afternoon, or evening, DETECTIVES! Stay tuned for next week’s post and until then, keep on sleuthing, DETECTIVES!
