The Ghost Ship: A tale featuring the eerie and unsettling sounds of a phantom ship, described through the creaks, groans, and other noises of the vessel itself.
00:00Back in the days of sailing ships, people from all over the world were coming to America,
00:24looking for a new start in life. There was this one ship named the White Cloud, and it's her last voyage that this tale is about.
00:36She set sail for the new world with a full passenger list. Now, these folks weren't poor like a lot of the early sacks.
00:45They brought things of great value, like jewels and gold heirlooms. And while they tried to keep these things hidden, on a small ship, the word gets around among the crew.
01:00Now, the captain of the White Cloud had been a pirate when he was younger, but was given a pardon by the king because of the shortage of experience sea captains.
01:13When he heard about the treasures on board, his thoughts turned back to the old pirate way.
01:20The crew, who murdered the passengers, take their belongings, set fire to the ship, and escape in the longboat.
01:28On the last night out of port, the murderous crew crept below with knives drawn.
01:37They spared note. Every single passenger was brutally killed.
01:43Then, a blunder began.
01:46Seatbags were slashed open. Drugs were bashed apart.
01:50Everything of value was piled on deck and divided among the thieves.
01:54After they had loaded the longboat, the captain set fire to the White Cloud, and the smaller boat pulled away from the flaming hull.
02:05Suddenly, the wind shifted.
02:08The ship, now a mass of flames, wore down directly on the longboat.
02:15The villains laid to the oars, but it was no use.
02:18The thunderous, fiery crash.
02:21The blazing ship split the small boat in half, and the evil crew was dumped, screaming into the fiery sea.
02:31Your hands were lost.
02:35Since that infernal night, every year on the first new moon of the fall, the flaming ship reappears.
02:45You can hear the eerie screams of terror from the tormented men as the blazing ghost ship nears the shore.
02:53She suddenly bursts into a great fireball, then disappears, only to appear again moments later.
03:03This happens three times.
03:07After the third explosion, no matter the direction of the wind, the blazing, seagorn inferno disappears over the horizon,
03:16always to the northeast, not to be seen again for a full year.
03:23Folks who have seen this ghost ship swear that they could smell burning canvas, rope, and human flesh.
