The Haunted Ship

TRUE GHOST STORIES, QUESTIONS & INFORMATION

When I was a crew member aboard the Bristol registered ship Castle Combe we went to a small quarrying creek on the Welsh coast. It was one of those places where the ebbing tide left the ship high and dry. My attention was drawn to a dilapidated vessel anchored a little distance out. It looked like it was ready for the breakers yard. One night I saw a faint light coming from one of the portholes so decided to walk over to it and have a look.

As I climbed aboard the deserted ship I felt unease. I opened the door to the crews cabins and was confronted by a man. He wore a mustard coloured coat with a cloth cap pulled over his eyes. But he was floating 3 feet above the ground! I dashed back to my own ship.

The next day I was worried by what I had seen. Had someone perhaps hung themselves? I had to go back and find out. I opened the same door again and in the daylight could see a large number of glass containers. Of course, that was the answer, I consoled myself. The man must have been standing on one of these which I couldn't see in the darkness! Jim J.

I absolutely love spooky stories about the sea. Have you read the weird story on this site about my relative that was eaten by his shipmates? Weird stuff!! And there's some great spooky stories about the Titanic's mummy. See the coincidences section.
