The Infamous Bermuda Triangle Incidents: Five Mysterious Ghost Ships

The Bermuda Triangle has been the most talked topic of all people because of the mysterious disappearances that happen within the boundary of that place. There are many paranormal and scientific explanations lay out by scientists and experts but none of them can truly satisfy the real reason behind these mysterious phenomena because of the lack of evidences.  The ocean located within Bermuda is even called the “Devil’s Sea”.

Who could ever forget the story of the ship named “Mary Celeste”? The ship was first named as “Amazon” but because of the later accidents that the boat encountered, it was later renamed. The ship was under the command of Benjamin Briggs, while other people on board were his wife, young daughter, and seven crews. There have been many speculations about the story behind the disappearance but all of those are yet to be confirmed. The ship has been found in the Atlantic Ocean unmanned and under sail heading towards the Straight of Gibralstar in 1872. There are claims that there have been a pirate attack but an opposing observation has been seen considering that the money box and the barrels of alcohol have not been taken. The story of the ship did not actually become known until Arthur Conan Doyle wrote his book named “J. Habakuk Jephson’s Statement”.

After the Mary Celeste incident, the cargo ship Carroll A. Deering was the next famous one to have a mysterious disappearance in the year 1921. The boat was seen aground Diamond Shoals which is an area off the coast of Cape Hatteras. Three months later, a man named Christopher Colombus Gray claimed that he has found a bottle containing a message from the ship. The message reads like this: “DEERING CAPTURED BY OIL BURNING BOAT SOMETHING LIKE CHASER. TAKING OFF EVERYTHING HANDCUFFING CREW. CREW HIDING ALL OVER SHIP NO CHANCE TO MAKE ESCAPE. FINDER PLEASE NOTIFY HEADQUARTERS DEERING.”  There were many investigations were made in line with the new evidence found, but was later then stopped after the claim was said to be a hoax by the proponent itself. Even though hurricanes were concluded to be the reason for the disappearance, the true reason for the phenomena was not yet fully discovered.
