Ghost Ships Are Dangerous 

The fact that the ship went into Canada they only put a tracker on it and the SECOND it entered US waters it got obliterated was the most unintentionally funny chain of events

"Still doesnt haunt as much as cringy memory" Wise words that are reminding me of every cringy moment i ever had🗿

A week ago I happened to take a sleeper train home with a sailor from Vladivostok. He told me many stories. He said the sea of Japan and the surroundings are extremely dangerous to sail unprepared. Sailing there is a death sentence for sea poachers or just small fishing vessels there. No wonder there are many wrecked ships washing on the shores. He also told me he had to report shipwrecks and drowned sailors washed up on shore. And those north Koreans often violate Russian borders and they have beefs with authorities. Those Koreans are really suicidal going out to the sea like that lol

Ghost ships are fascinating as well as eerie. The closer you look, the more intrigued you become.

my family has property on lake champlain in vermont, and one day a little wooden carving of the titanic just randomly washed up near our dock. it was about 1 foot long, and very detailed. the owners phone number and address was on it, so we gave him a call. he told us that he put it in the lake about 5 years ago on the new york side of the lake! how it wasn't damaged, or even managed to make it 5 years through the elements is unbelievable.

As a spirit who is free from the curse of a ghost ship which sank 300 years ago,I can confirm that all sorts of ghost ships roam the seas

For the record Ghost ships are real, but not paranormal. Sometimes the crew abandons ship for some reason, they then die at sea, and the ship stays afloat for years if not decades. It is spooky, finding an old, worn-out but not actually damaged ship, intact ship, with no crew, or bodies inside... but this things happen, sometimes. Much rarer now, but... still can happen.

As a fellow Sea of Thieves player, i can verify that Ghost ships can indeed be dangerous.

Mr.slav: I prefer real life stories Also his theories: GIANT SQUID

What terrified me is that eventually, there’s potential that ghost ships could be armed with automatic weapon systems

finally i thought my life was over.

Imagine being stranded in an island and then you found a rusty abandoned ship floating near the island you are trapped and then you not only managed to reach the ship after swimming or floating towards it using a makeshift raft but also manage to start it and make it go. You now have your own private cruise ship... 🙂

many ghost ships are actually very useful in sea navigations and they can also be used to map the directions of sea currents.

As a Giant Squid who takes away the crew from ships on the ocean, i confirm that the giant squid theory is real.

There's a slight terror. You absolutely must not step aboard these boats. They've been unkempt for no one knows how long. The floors could have worn so badly you can fall all the way through.

W for this man right here for explaining the ghost ships

The opportunity to explain things with giant squid should not be missed. Ship missing its crew? Giant squid Government asks where is my tax money? Giant squid Teacher asks where is my homework? Giant squid Wife asks why didn't I come home last night? Giant squid

the crew of Mary Celeste must've decided to go dry , and instead of dumping the vodka , they dumped the entire ship altogether .

The Flying Dutchman is one of the most fascinating myths to ever exist. My wish is to travel to Cape of Good Hope, and search for it. People report it's sightings sometimes, and I'm eager to see it myself.

Mr Slav missing for 2 months . What Happened to Him My Theory ; Giant Squid 🦑

Thank you Mr. Slav, you saved me from my Calculus homework 🙏

“And since Canadians are Canadians, they just put a tracker on it” The quote that Made my day 🤣🤣🤣

Another certified Mr Slav banger

I'm surprised you didn't cover the story of the Ourang Medan. It might be a fictional story, but it's really creepy, I highly recommend looking into this ghost ship!

damn , there's a giant squid down there somewhere , and it's got a lot of guns . and route maps . no wonder ships go missing . i wonder if it needs to buy ammo ...

I thought Jenny ship was about Forrest Gump's shrimp boat. But damn, the captain found out being frozen while holding a pen sounds like the game with pirates and ships should have.

I think the most uneasy thing is the human desire to stay a night in the ship to see if there is something paranormal really happening or just like a very normal mundane thing. Also the act you'd be stuck in a giant boat by yourself leaving the mind to hear random things that ain't happening. That or you meet Giant Squid

Knowing that there could be a Giant Squid some where at the bottom of the ocean with a large supply of guns and alcohol is unsettling to say the least.

These stories remind me of a ship called the SS Alkimos, a cursed merchant ship of many names, completed in the Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards in Baltimore, Maryland, and launched on October 11, 1943. This “liberty ship” was originally going to be called the George M. Shriver. but, even as early as it’s assembly, things were going wrong. I.E. during construction, several mechanics were said to be trapped in the riveted compartments in the hull, and weren’t found until the next day, and by then they had already suffocated. So the US gave it to Norway, on October 20th, and it was renamed the Viggo Hansteen. It’s main use was to travel to the Indian ocean via the Suez canal. The Viggo Hansteen then earned it’s cursed reputation, even though it survived many U-boat attacks. The reputation came from things on board starting to malfunction. Classic horror trope-style stuff, lights flickering on and off, radios hissing out static, rooms suddenly getting cold, and the engines breaking down like a car when the protagonists are trying to get out. It got worse when a Canadian radio operator, who was a woman, was shot dead by one of the other crew members, who then shot himself, in a bizarre murder/suicide, this happening off the coast of Italy. After the war, the Viggo Hansteen was bought by Greek entrepreneurs in 1947, and renamed the SS Alkimos. The same happenings as before kept occurring, only now with the addition of ghostly figures. Many years later, on March 20, 1963, A storm appeared out of nowhere, driving the Alkimos onto some nearby reefs, just north of Perth, Australia. The ship had to be towed to the nearby port of Freemantle the next day for some basic repairs. While it was being repaired, the ship mysteriously caught fire. When the repairs were finished two months later, the plan was to tow it to Hong Kong for a full overhaul, but the towing line mysteriously snapped before the Alkimos barely made it out of the harbor, ending up beach just a few hundred yards away from the shore. Some say the storm howled in triumph, and the sea applauded. The entire crew was evacuated after having dropped anchor and flooded the lower decks to stabilize the vessel. One lone caretaker was left on the ship for months, with some saying he went insane from the isolation, and the caretaker claimed there was sinister moaning coming from around the ship, as well as fresh blood dripping from the walls. A year later, attempts were made to tow the Alkimos, but those also failed, with the shit mysteriously breaking a tanker train, and drifting almost suicidally onto the nearby rocky beach, as if to end itself, during which the Alkimos caught fire a second time.Later, attempts were made to salvage the ship, but the process was halted when a fierce fire broke out yet again, causing the workers to evacuate. This repeated every time a salvage crew tried the board, leading the crew to say “HELL NO!” When asked to try and salvage the Alkimos again. Many accounts claimed to of seen, heard, and smelled things while on board, with a few even claiming to be pushed by an invisible force. One of which, a female, suffered a miscarriage after being pushed. By 1969, all hope was lost for salvaging the SS Alkimos, so the US Navy sent submariners to do measurements of the propeller, all three of them died in a freak plane crash while on the way to the site. One long distance swimmer also mysteriously disappeared while training near the wreck, with many saying that the ship claimed him for its ghost crew. The wreck of the SS Alkimos now lies just below the water. And at low tide, you can see the top of her superstructure poking out from above the water, as if she’s mocking the world let them know that even in death, she is seemingly a ship that refuses to die… TL;DR, giant ship is built, welders get stuck in it and suffocate, female radio operator is shot dead, and the ship catches fire numerous times and claims more victims to be part of its ghost crew. Thanks for coming to my TED talk, I first heard about this ghost ship thanks to SimpleHistory, go check them out.

Have you heard of the skeleton coast? It's in Namibia, and called that because it's a wrecked ship graveyard, and because it's population is essentially zero, with the nearest town almost 1000 miles away.

I'll be honest, the scariest thing in this video was the creepy photo of a frozen captain at the log book (specifically, the bedamned white eyes, those scare me like crazy xD)

Good to see you back Mr Slav ! God Speed…….

I feel like I'm playing Metro and I'm with this guy sitting on a campfire while he tells these stories to me

As a grain of sand identifying as a flea who occasionally visits ghost ships, I can confirm they do exist, the ghosts there are pretty chill when you get to know them

"And since Canadians are Canadians, they only put a tracker" Mr. Slave 2023

Long time no see! I love the fact that you respect both SI and American unit systems

man your channel is exactly what I needed

Love the videos. Keep up the good work, Mr. Slav.

A few years ago there's a ghost ship that ran aground a few hundred kms away from my hometown in Brazil, the beach is nearly deserted called Cedral. Nodoby knows what happened to the crew that hailed from China as they found their intact documents. There were lots of goods inside the cargo hold, it wasn't a big ship tho. Anyways, there was also no indication that this particular vessel had been registered as lost at sea. Great content, sir!

Spirits and ghosts are as strong as the belief of the people in their area, while bigger modern towns dont have many sightings, countries in which the beliefs are still strong (Japan, China, usually easters or asian countries) will have way more sightings. The only exception are abandoned, lost or unknown places.

I have being watching your videos non stop for two days, they are great, i feel happy like a kid watching them.

Even though the last story was probably exaggerated, there was indeed one story in the korean war, where a whole platoon i think of chinese soldiers were frozen solid in ambush position. Since there is footage of it you know this was not made up.

This channel never get boring. Nice work man

oh god everyone pause what ever you’re doing mr slav uploaded a video

I want to live in a houseboat and just chill. This makes me get chills.

Giant squid is definitely the most plausible theory

I like this guy! Cool channel man 👍🏻

Interesting, entertaining, informative. Well done.

The last one had a good comedy aspect to it. Everyone just frozen solid, and the captain frozen as he wrote his last words. Sounds like something out of a cartoon more than reality, and of course most definitely fiction.

SS Baychimo is honestly my favorite ghost ship story.

the foghorn, narration everything is so soothing

Oh ! I actually read a book that included some about the Mary Celeste ! The book said one of the theories , and most realistic theories was that there were strange smells coming from the alcohol barrels , and the captain worried that it was going to explode , so he ordered the crew to evacuate ! Pretty cool , right ?

Amazing video and research brother!

As a Canadian I’m surprised our 'officials' even put a tracker on it

Normal Theories: The boat sunk MR SLAV: Giant squid

Very smooth voice. Good for listening to tales with.

That damn squid cant keep getting away with this...

i saw the Baychimo story and knew i wanted to write something about it so heres what i made hope ya enjoy it. =============== Baychimo's curse =============== Ice So much ice My crew left me They left me all alone Through the ice i broke And i ran Ran as fast as the currents would allow The world at war Millions dead Yet i am trapped at sea All alone I sail through waters uncharted Through storms no man dare brave Because i must For i am alone The waves crash with the force of giants And push and pull with the ferocity of lions I dont know hoe much i can take before i go under Before the deep blue claims me My crew left me In the ice to rot And now i sail These lonely waves Forever to be forgot I am Baychimo I sail the seas with all but aim I, am a ghost ship And forever i shall roam And forever i shall be forgotten And forever i shall continue

There was also the mystery of the SS Minnow which disappeared with a crew of 7 in 1963 when they departed Hawaii for a 3 hour tour and were never seen again.

I don't know what did the captain of the last one survive of, but it's impossible to survive more than a month without food. Let alone water.

Its SO much fun watching these at night :)

Only thing I can think of is a crewmate went crazy, killed everyone, threw them overboard then himself as well. Or ghost stuff.

Hearing him saying “my theory, giant squid” really made me fell off my chair

this video made my day, thank you

Very entertaining and well put together video

welcome back Mr slav we miss your content

Perfect outro slide, sir 👌😆

sup bruv

Your videos have a great soundtrack

wow, this gigachad teaches more about mary celeste in minutes than school does in one hour

Hey dude!!! You made my night?.... great video!!!funny!!👍👌

Great video! The movie Ghost Ship was a surprisingly good horror movie.

As a survivor of Assassins Creed 4 legendary ships I can say that ghost ships are extremely dangerous.

A great video to watch right before going to sleep

Glad i was recommended this.

MR SLAV returns.

Funny how the ocean is so big that you can just lose ships if the crew dies or abandons it, and then just to show up out of the mist to pass by another ship.

7:15 Imagine going fishing and then managing to escape to Japan from North Korea that is literally the best luck you can get

"The single most creepy part was... the cargo of ALCOHOL was intact." 2:24 🤣🤣🤣 Greetings from Poland Mr Slav! 👍

Our favorite Slav has returned!

You failed to mention the Cyclops, the U.S. Army iron ore vessel which disappeared with a full load of cargo.

The story of the Ourang Medan is a really creep ghost ship tale. YT channel Bedtime Stories did a good video on it.

I've never seen a Mr. Slav video that didn't entertain tf out of me, hook line and............sinker.

Until this vid, I had no idea you were Lithuanian! I am as well. I was born and raised American, but I was certainly still in touch with Lithuanian culture by my mom and grandma. It’s not common around here to see Lithuanians anywhere really, including online (at least for me, I don’t seek them out). This was a pleasant surprise! Darbuokit toliau brolis!

He is finally back again:)

Legend bro. Been watching your videos for years, they help me sleep. Cheers 👍

A ship baring cargo is found sailing aimlessly with cargo intact and ship in good condition, only a lifeboat is missing. That is actually spooky. What could have possibly made them abandon ship? And what happened to them? We will literally never know.

Awesome video 👍

YESSS MORE MR SLAVVVV

I want to mention SS Ourang Medan There's actually a horror game based on this ship called Man of Medan

I really wish this video is longer

If you pee on wheel of a ghost ship you get to be captain

yay mr slav is alive!!

nice video bruv

You have such a beautiful accent, it reminds me a little of us Brazilians when we are pronouncing certain words.

I like your content mr slav

Mr slav uploaded lesgooo

A ghost ship story that can theoretically happen: A crew aboard an intercontinental freighter dies after a novel and extremely virulent virus that is easily transmissible and with a very high mortality rate breaks out on board. Ship and dead crew drifts for a while until found by a salvaging party. Salvage crew sees the scenes of horror inside and retreats but unknowingly they already caught the virus too. Days later, they dock at a major city and go to a bar and some of the men begins to fall ill over the next several days.

In a couple of years maybr we'll have videos on ghost space ships.

Dear Mr. Your videos are very good.
