The Mysterious Men In Black


Yes!,yes !!....... Its true

The Men In Black
Immortalized in pop culture by the trilogy starring Will  Smith and Tommy Lee Jones . The MIB are said to be government agents who harass  and threaten UFO witnesses to keep them quiet about it or suffer the consequences. The incidents with the MIB date to the 1940's way before Will Smith was born . Though it may seen to be far-fetched some actually believe that the movies were made specially to make the idea of the Men in black seem unbelievable . Here I look at 5 incidents of such supposed MIB incidents:-




5:-Harold Dahl-1947

One of the earliest cases of the Men In black .
The incident happened on 21 June when Dahl along with two men ,his son and dog were patrolling on a boat . Around 2 in the afternoon near Maury Island the men saw six floating objects floating above the boat . 
Scared at the sight  Dahl quickly directed the boat to the shore of Maury Island . Ashore he took some pics when one of the ships left their formation . The ship proceeded to drop thousands of pieces on the lake .These pieces were described by Dahl as lava rock . He recovered some of the pieces and found it to be a white metal . 
However some pieces hit his son's arm burning him and killed his dog. the objects then disappeared ...
Dahl then took his son to a hospital and then told his boss  Fred Crisman about it.
Fred didn't believe this story but still went to Maury Island to collect some evidence .  While he was collecting it he saw of the oval craft seeing him...
Fred and Harold then contacted the authorities and Captain Lee Davidson and lieutenant Frank Brown of the air force interviewed them..

The case goes stranger then :- Both Davidson and Brown died in an air crash after returning from Crisman and Dahl's interrogation . Dahl then received a visit from a man dressed in black at his house . The man threatened him of dire consequences if he didn't take back his story .

Dahl has remarked that the man sounded strange and was bald with no eyebrows . His movements were described by Dahl as strange and he also remarked that he felt eerie after the meeting .. Crisman also received a similar call...

The FBI then began judiciary proceedings against Dahl and Crisman . Both pleaded guilty claiming the story was a haox  and were charged .

However years later both came out stating that their story was true and due to the threats they had to admit the story was fake ...... The presence of the MIB had scared them ...


4:-Robert Richardson -1967

Image result for robert richardson incident


One night in Ohio 1967,Robert Richardson was driving a car when he hit something.The object disappeared on impact.He looked out and found a piece of metal .
A couple of days later around 11 pm two men wearing hats and sunglasses driving a black Cadillac came to his home to ask questions .. 
A week later two men in black suits came to visit him .They threatened him dire consequences if he didn't return the object . However Richardson had given the object for analysis and the men threatened to hurt his wife ...They then went away never to  be seen again .
Richardson described the men being  typically olive skinned and having no eyebrows .....


3:-Adele -1968




Adele(named changed ) answered the door to what she thought was an insurance salesman .He was tall ,wore a black suit and tie and had a florid complexion . While talking with the man suddenly he started sweating and took off his hat . Adele noticed that he was bald  and milky pale and wore make up to cover his face .
After asking for a cup of water he entered the house . Suddenly on noticing the clock on the mantelpiece the man started repeating -"your father ..time ..'' and "watch the lights" before leaving hurriedly .. Just after the room filled with bright lights leaving Adele unconscious ....

2:-The Man on the Loch


8- loch ness

Loch Ness the place synonymous with the Loch ness monster is also full of other strange activity . One man who came to find the Loch ness monster  had a very strange activity . Frederick Holiday stayed for a month at the Loch . On his last day he saw at a hill near the lake a man dressed in black .. The man seemed to be looking at him . He was disturbed  and felt uneasy ... Before he could do anything there was a buzzing noise and the man disappeared. 
One year later Frederick  was again camping at the loch when he had a heart attack . He was found at the same place where he had seen the man .He was quickly carried to the hospital on an ambulance and fortunately survived.

1:-Men In Black in video



The video above describes the manager's point of view of the event from a hotel in Canada . One of the employees  had recently seen a UFO and had described the incident to others . The men came into the hotel inquiring about the employee in question ..The person was away so the two men started questioning the staff about ufo's and general conspiracy theories. They had no eyebrows and eye lashes , strange hypnotic eyes and bald faces . They went out quickly as they came never to be seen again ...


All the above incidents have the same characteristic of men in black .. Their bald face , no eyebrows and attire along with their strange behavior have led to them having quite a mystic air about them..

Many of these incidents have been claimed to be hoaxes but the about of evidence relating to each one is quite overwhelming . So whether or not you believe it to be true one must agree that it would be quite scary to have an encounter with the MIB or their imitators (if that's what you believe )


So does the MIB exists or not ???
A question which remains unanswered till this date ...
It may be true or just a myth but always remember that anything is possible in a world as mysteriously strange as ours.

5 Mysteriously Cursed Objects


People have always been fascinated by the mysterious and the occult (maybe that's why you are reading this ). So There's something about these scary stories which intrigues people . Scary stories are fiction RIGHT!!!
    People take comfort in the fact that the things within these stories never existed ...or DID THEY!!
 Not all horror stories are based on fiction and some of the objects  which made those stories actually exists in our world today !!!
  From dolls to paintings to chairs there are a whole host of everyday objects which are cursed . So next time you buy something be  sure to check its past or  misfortune would accompany you .Here are 5 such objects

5:-Thomas Busby's Chair

7 Terrifying Cursed Objects That Actually Exist

So do you have a favorite chair at home which you don't want to part with ..Well consider cursing the chair and all your problems are solved.
This was what notorious murderer Thomas Busby did . Before his execution for his father in law's murder his final request was to have a meal at his favorite pub .
However after finishing his meal he suddenly stood up and claimed-

"May sudden death come to anyone who dare sit in my chair"

Supposedly 63 people have died some mere moments after sitting on this cursed chair.  One incident is most striking

A delivery boy form the local vendor shop came to deliver some goods to the pub . By this time the pub owner had grown tired of the deaths and shifted this chair to the basement . The boy delivered the goods at the basement and while the owner went up to get the payment the boy (being tired) sat on this chair ..
And yes he was doomed!!!
 He went back to his scooter and had barely driven 100 meters when a truck crushed him .....


After this the  chair was kept at Thirsk Museum where the deaths continued till 1972 when the museum tied to chair to the ceiling (as shown in the picture) so that no more idiots challenge the curse..There it stands till this day in Thirsk Museum  in UK .



Man!!!!! This would be quite the challenge to play with your friends ..........


4:-Myrtles Plantation Mirror


haunted myrtles plantation mirror

The Myrtles plantation is said to be one of the most haunted places in the USA .
 According to legend a  slave named Chloe baked an Oleander-laced cake and poisoned three members of the Woodruff family. Sara ,the lady of the plantation and her daughters were the victims. 
   Visitors to this plantation have reported seeing children handprints on the mirror .Strange drip marks have been found on the mirror with old fashioned clothing been seen on the corners of the mirror .


Damn!!! Mirrors and haunting's go together so feel free to remember about this mirror the next time you go past one at night...

3:-The Basano Vase


7 Terrifying Cursed Objects That Actually Exist

Consider you'r digging in your backyard and you find a 15th century Italian vase inside is a note which reads 

"Beware ...this vase brings death."

What do you do???

Certainly not what an idiot in 1988 did . He threw away the note and sold it off to an auction house .The vase was bought by a pharmacist who died 3 months later . A surgeon bought the vase next and died 2 months later . Next an archaeologist bought it and you guessed it......died 2 months later . The next owner died a month later and this continued until the police confiscated it and buried it in a lead box at an unknown place ..... Where is it today???
Nobody knows....


One thing for sure the idiot who found it initially survived. So there might be some period before the deaths .
If you happen upon this vase you know what to do!!!
Just sell it off before death comes for you and enjoy the show which follows!!!!!!

2:-The Dyybuk Box



Some people just don't know what to curse!!!

The Dyybuk Box is a wine cabinet supposedly cursed by a holocaust survivor.Kevin Mannis bought this in 1988 and immediately started having nightmares about an evil old hag . So did his friends who stayed with him . He gave the box to his mother who had a stroke the same day .The subsequent owners of this box too had nightmares .The last owner Jason Haxton developed a strange skin disease and started coughing blood . He contacted local rabbis who sealed the box and hid it from the world .Its legen lives on and was the inspiration behind the 2012 movie The Possession.

A haunted wine cabinet .....That's something to think the next time you crack open a bottle !!!!!

1:-The little Bastard


Image result for little bastard

 

Actor James Dean loved his 1955 Porsche Spider.He had it customized and affectionately called it his "Little Bastard"
However the car was so transparently evil that his firend Alec Guinness told him :-

"If you get in that car ,you will be found dead in it by this time the next week,"

Dean did die by next week in a car crash .The curse however didn't end there .
The mechanic who tried to repair the car had his legs crushed when the car fell on him.The new owner sold of the car's engine and door to two different race cars . One lost control and hit a tree thereby killing its occupant while the other rolled over and injured the driver.
Two thieves who tried to steal the car's parts were seriously injured when their car rolled over.
After this it was donated as an exhibit to Californian Highway patrol .
First the exhibit caught fire with the car undamaged and secondly a the car fell on a student crushing his hip.
Therefore the car was then transported to a museum but the curse didn't end there.
The driver of the truck died when the truck crashed and the Little bastard seemingly disappeared never to be found again.

Man next time you buy a car make sure its parts are not related to the Little Bastard.....
 Otherwise its the devil for you !!!!
One thing surprises me 
How the hell did Alec Guinness know the car was evil by just its look???

These documented objects have proved that despite what people would say about them there is something sinister attached to them..
"Rational" people claim it to be no more than superstition and attention grabbing ways ..
However I would gladly invite them to have a try at Busby's chair or own Dyybuk's Box..

These objects may or may not be cursed but always remember that anything is possible in a world as mysteriously strange as ours..

Mysterious Forests of the World


The rush of fresh air filling your lungs ....The chirruping of birds  and the natural greenery around you .... The Breadth of life which perks up your senses  and the intrigue of the unknown ........ Forests have helped in making man come to peace with nature . Despite all the destruction  dealt to these beautiful forests we still have the privilege of visiting them . However there are some that are just outrightly weird or have a mysterious atmosphere about them . Here I look at  five of the most mysterious forests of the world.


5:-Crooked Forest ,Poland


640Px-Nowe Czarnowo-Krzywy Las


The Crooked Forest is a grove of well ...Crooked trees ..(Yes ,, Yes ..,.anybody could guess that from the title ) . Situated in Nowe Czarnowo in Poland this forests contain about 400 trees  with all bent  northward and surrounded by a larger forest of straight growing pine trees. T
 These trees were said to be planted in 1930s when the area was under German occupation . 
It is thought that some kind of tool was used to bend these trees though nobody have been able to attain the reason for the appearances or the use of such trees. Also new saplings which arise have been known to become crooked after a certain age leading to various conspiracy theories with yes ...Aliens being mentioned ...


I guess with Hitler being involved this was expected .. Probably had to do something with his obsession with the occult .What else can you expect from him

4;-Screaming Woods 

The Screaming Woods


Yes .. Yes...Yes .. The title again gives it away ...

Are you afraid of screams ??? So just visit this forest and you'll get a lifetime quota of screams in one visit ...

Derin Woods or Screaming woods sit just south of what is believed to be the most haunted village in Britain, Pluckley .  A visit to this "charming " forest will enable you to hear blood curdling human screams for free!!!!  Also if you are "Brave" (see Mad )  enough to walk into this forest you'll get chased by  dark apparitions .. So Happy Hunting to all .


Seriously  you think with a haunted village nearby and screams coming from the forest people would leave this place alone  ....  Nope a lot of these investigators enter this forest to bad results ... Hats off to these guys ...

For me one scream of this sort and I'll be running off  to another continent ......


3:-Tsingy Forest , Madagascar

nov09wallpaper-18_1600
    
 ..One look at this forest makes one think that there is some mystery attached to it ..Situated in Madagascar this forest popularly known as "Stone Forest " consist of sharp limestone rocks jutting out 70 meters in the air .  Though it may the most dangerous forest you'll visit  the breathtaking  view which follows it is  well worth the risk ....

Compared to ghosts and aliens .... falling to your death may seem  to be  a  minor problem...


2:-Aokigahara Forest

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Located at the base of Mt Fuji, Japan lies the forest most popularly known as Suicide Forest . Having a very thick outgrowth  and devoid of any animals this place has a very eerie atmosphere .. A visit to this forest makes one feel nervy immediately upon entering it .  A paranoid feeling grows on the mind helped up by the sight of decaying bodies hanging on trees and skeletons on the ground.
 It is said that the trees themselves have a hatred towards you because of the spirits of those deceased on it .. This ultimately have led to many killing themselves ..

Infact the problem is so widespread that the Japanese Government have put up various signs in English and  Japanese imploring people to consider suicide  .

Image result for Aokigahara forest signs

The Japanese Government do yearly sweeps to remove bodies from the forest with the figures not being released in public

I cannot comprehend the justification of these idiots who want to end life early . Some have traveled from other countries  to commit suicides here !!!  

 I feel that the Japanese are secretly hoping Mt Fuji erupts and completely destroys this place ..saves them from trying to save people who want to die .... and then clearing the mass of bodies assembled there .


1:-Hoia-Baciu Forest

Dracula-Castle-Transylvania-2

What could possibly top a suicide forest ????
Well How about THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE OF TRANSYLVANIA

Located in Romania this forest was named after a shepherd who disappeared in the forest along with his 200 sheep. 
This forest is the hotbed of every known paranormal activity . With disappearances  , physical harm ,anxiety  burns and other bodily sensations occurring to anybody entering it , this forest boasts of mysterious lights flowing from one tree to another. Some who enter this forest immediately remember their past experiences  but forget after leaving it . 
In 1968  a technician caught a UFO flying over the forest on camera . Trees which were completely normal are found to be wraped and crooked after some time . One thing is for sure you wouldn't want to be left alone in this forest.

Seriously the locals living nearby the forest are some of the bravest humans found on earth . This place fits clearly to what some claim to be a gateway to hell....

The intrigue which surround these places have led to many paranormal investigations .These investigations have often not taken kindly to the ghosts/paranormal residing within them . This have led to various attacks on crew members . So if you want to investigate this place I suggest that you think twice before doing it ..

However "rational" people have claimed these places to nothing more than folklore and myths  ..Its for you to decide but always remember that anything is possible in a world so mysteriously strange as ours.

Mysterious Coincidences in History

 Coincidence ..
The occurrence of events that happen at the same time by accident but seem to have some connection .  .
 Coincidences are common in our everyday life with many instances but throughout the course of history there have  been some which are out-rightly freakish  .  Here I look at 5 of the most mysterious coincidences of history.


5;-The Futility of Titanic

 Morgan Robertson Futility Images 

In 1898 writer Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility which described the maiden voyage of  a luxury ship called the Titan that sinks .The book was published just 14 years before the Titanic sank and the similarities between them are astounding.  Some of them are
  • In the book the Titan was called  unsinkable so was the Titanic
  • Both ships were British owned vessels 
  • Both were around 800 feet long
  • Both hit the obvious iceberg and sank
  • In the book the Titan sank  at midnight in April , 400 miles from Newfoundland.The  Titanic sank around midnight on  14 April  1912  , 400 miles from Newfoundland.
  •  
  • The Titan had 3000 passengers and not enough lifeboats  while the Titanic had  2207 passengers and well you get the idea.
    The eerie similarity between the Titan and the Titanic have led to many conspiracy theories with many claiming it to be more than a coincidence .. I'll leave you to decide .

Damn !! These  details are specific .. The only thing left is a love story which stretches into a movie of more than 3 hours  and the male actor being played by a man who just can't win an Oscar.....


4:-  Capuchin Monk


  Franciscanmonk Loc

 In 19 th century Austria  a near famous painter named Joseph Aigner grew disgruntled with his life and attempted to hang himself to death . As he prepared to commit suicide he was interrupted by a mysterious Capuchin monk . The monk counseled him  out of committing suicide . 
 A few years later Aigner (now 22)  again tried to commit suicide but was talked out of it again by the same Capuchin monk.
 8 years later Aigner was sentenced to death  for political activities . Just a day before his hanging he was reprieved by none other than the  Capuchin monk. 
At the age of 68 Aigner finally got what he wished for . He shot himself  with his own pistol . His funeral was conducted by ......... Yes you guessed it........ the same mysterious  CAPUCHIN MONK a man whose name Aigner never knew .


Quite the counselor ... Who wouldn't want a mysterious counselor who would prevent you from taking the extreme step !! Wait  a minute ...... How did the monk knew when Aigner would try to commit suicide . 
 Was the monk following him around always ??? Creepy Thought ...


3:- Revenge Killing


300053732 0B20Ed7E73

In 1883 Henry Ziegland broke off  a relationship with his girlfriend who out of distress , committed suicide . The girl's enraged brother hunted Ziegland down  and shot him.
 Believing  Ziegland to be dead , the brother then took his own life . However the bullet only grazed Ziegland's face lodging into a tree.
 Years later Ziegland tried to cut down the tree with the bullet . The huge tree was so formidable he decided to blow it up with dynamite .
The explosion propelled the bullet into Ziegland's face killing him instantly.


I guess this gives a new meaning to the quote

" Revenge is a dish best served cold'.


2:- Royal Coincidence

 King Umberto I 

In Monza , Italy , King Umberto 1 , went to a small restaurant for dinner accompanied by General Emilio Ponzia -Vaglia .When the owner of the restaurant took his order  The king immediately recognized him as he and the owner were virtual doubles both in face and in body. Both began discussing their similarities and found out many more similarities :- 
  • Both men were born on the same day, of the same year, (March 14 th ,1844)
  • Both had been born in the same town
  • Both married a woman with the same name ,Margherita.
  •  The  owner opened his restaurant on the same day King Umberto was crowned King of Italy.
 
This coincidence gets more creepy as
On 29th July 1900 King Umberto was informed that the restaurant owner had died that day in a mysterious shooting accident  and while he expressed his regret , The king was then assassinated by an anarchist in the crowd.
 
 
So basically the only thing you have to do to kill a king is to find his virtual double and kill him . So automatically the king will be killed as well...... Sweet
 

1:-Twin Brothers and Twin Lives

  Mm Ring.Jpg 

In 1940 two identical twins were separated at birth and adopted by different families .  From here starts a long list of  "so called " coincidences:-
  •  Unknown to each other both families  named each boy James
  • Without knowing each other both boys grew up pursuing a job in law enforcement 
  • They both had skills in mechanical drawing and carpentry .
  • They both married a woman named Linda
  • Both had two sons named James Alan and James Allan respectively 
  • They both got divorced 
  • They both remarried a woman named Betty
  • And they both had a dog named Toy. 
 
This was all discovered when when they were reunited 39 years later in 1979. Just imagine their meeting each other ,they practically knew everything about each other.



I'm speechless!!!!
 
 
 
 
Many times we pass by coincidences in our life but their always remains an element of mystery to them ..
How could such things happen so accurately ????
 Is it really coincidence or something else ???
 
These are some questions which may never be sufficiently explained .
 
The above instances may seem far fetched in some cases  but always remember anything is possible in a world as mysteriously strange as ours .

5 Mysterious Ships

The waves calmly coursing along the sides ..The breadth of the sea  wind  gently stroking the face ....  The  ship slowly moving towards the picturesque sunset with the vast expanse of ocean ahead of it ..... These are the images which comes to one's mind when we think of  a cruise journey ..( Along with Titanic )
 The journey on a ship is quite pleasant (unless if you're seasick and you throw up every few minutes ,then it feels like hell). However what happens when something unexpected comes up (not an iceberg , Titanic Fans ) . Be it bad weather  or haunting or strange disappearances here I look at 5 of the most mysterious ships ever found on earth.


5:- Mary Celeste

 



Possibly one of the first disappearances of the famous Bermuda Triangle .The Mary Celeste has quite a unique tale . On 4th December, 1872 this ship was found stranded at sea with its crew mysteriously vanished . The entire provisions including the alcohol and personal belongings of its crew were found untouched . The ship carried 6 months of virtually untouched food and water  . This was surprising  as the ship had been at sea for just one month . Various conspiracy theories have been stated with sea monsters and aliens predominating them .Today ,the fate of the Mary Celeste's crew remains one of history's most famous and puzzling maritime mysteries. 



So I get it . Since nobody could quite explain the disappearance ... People blamed the aliens and the famous Bermuda Triangle came into existence ...Good Job everyone ....Now let's create one at the spot where MH 370  vanished ...


4:-Baychimo

    

The Baychimo was used to trade pelts for provisions in the Inuit settlements of Canada , so it was no stranger to icy  conditions . This 230-foot cargo steamer had just been freed from a pack of ice a week earlier when it got stuck even worse on 8 October 1931 leading to most of its crew abandoning it with 15 of the crew remaining . They decided to wait out the winter nearby in a wooden shelter that they built themselves.
A blizzard stuck on November 24 and the ship vanished .The remaining crew assumed it to be sunk so imagine their surprise when they found this ship 3 days later ,45 miles away from the spot. They took their belongings  and abandoned it thinking it would not last the winter.
Surprisingly  the ship was found floating 3 years later by the same crew  when they were on a journey to Canada .
Some of them took charge of it and decided to return to Sweden . However the crew vanished along with the ship.
The ship was then found 1 year later quite intact adrift at sea with no sign of its crew.
In-fact many  reported sightings of this ship was seen for the next 3 decades . The last supposed sighting was in Alaska in 1969 after which this ship supposedly vanished into thin air ...
  In 2006, the Alaskan Government began an operation to locate the ‘The Ghost ship of the Arctic’ but, to date, they have been unsuccessful.

Is this ship sunk or still floating ..
Maybe it will  show off another of its reported sighting this year..'


If only the manufacturer's of Titanic had used the same material to make it  we would not have that quite emotional romantic Titanic movie ...which won plenty of Oscars except the best actor one (Poor Leonardo)


3:-Lady Lovibond


 

3-The-Lady-Lovibond

 The ultimate bridal present which turned out to be quite deadly for a lot of people leaving a massive haunting .
 On 13 February 1748 Simon Reed took his new bride Annette aboard his ship ,the Lady Lovibond for a cruise of Portugal . His first mate John Rivers , was madly in love with Reed's wife .Overcome with jealously ,he  took the wheel at night and steered the ship towards the Goodwin Sands . All souls were lost.
50 years to the day ,2 separate ships witnessed a phantom ship sailing the Goodwin Sands .. On 13 February 1848 locals saw a ship wreck on the area .When they went to investigate the ship had disappeared .
  In 1948 the ship was seen by Captain Bull Prestwick who described it as having an eerie glow .The ship was again spotted in 1998 by some locals . The ghost ship of LAdy Lovigood makes it journey every 50 years so the next one would be on 13 February  2048.


Why every 50 years ??
Did Reed marry at the age of 50 ?? Or was his first mate 50 years old ??
The ship will definitely appear but its about time somebody asked the ship or its occupants 
  Why a time gap of 50 years ???
Any volunteers...


2:-Ourang Medan

 



Ghost Ships Ourang Medan-


In June 1947 frantic Morse Code messages were received from Ourang Medan. The messages stated
" All officers are dead .Possibly whole crew dead ."
 The second and last message read 
" I die "
 Promptly many ships hurried to the location of Ourang Medan . After several hours the SIlver Star reached on scene . A small team from Silver Star boarded the ship and found quite a disturbing scene . 
 On the bridge where a radio was playing they found many dead corpses of officers and the captain of the ship . Along with this was a dog standing on all four legs ,frozen and snarling into thin air. All of these bodies seemed frozen in place looking upwards ,their arms outstretched , mouths gaping and a look of immense horror on all their faces .
 A trip to the communications room revealed the author of the SOS messages , also dead,his hand still on the keys ,eyes wide open and teeth bared . There was no sign of wound or injuries on the body.
Before the team could explore any further an explosion ripped the ship necessitating them to abandon it .Within minutes the Ourang Medan sank to the depths of the ocean  . 
The mystery regarding the deaths of the crew of Ourang Medan still remains with many claiming they were carrying an unknown object  with ghosts and aliens coming frequently into the discussions.


Well aliens or whatever did all this conveniently  allowed the Morse codes to be sent ...allowed the Silver Star ship team to embark the ship and see the bodies before blowing it up ..
Couldn't they just blow up the ship when they killed the rest ??? 
Or was this a demonstration from that thing/aliens about what it could do ??
 You decide .

1:- The Flying Dutchman

 

 Yes ,Yes ,Yes .Let it sink in for a moment .

The Flying Dutchman !!!! The ship made famous by The Pirate of The Caribbean movie franchise is infact a real ship.
The story goes, a Dutch East India Company ship, while rounding the treacherous Cape of Good Hope encountered a severe storm . Rather than heading for a safe harbor the Captain Van Der Decken swore he would maintain his heading till Judgement Day .
The ship vanished into the storm never to seen again or was it?

Many have claimed to see the Flying Dutchman including future King George V of England who saw it off the coast of Australia in 1881 and his brother Price Albert Victor of Wales. In 1939 this ship was seen at Muinzenberg  . In 1941 a crowd at Glencairn Beach saw a ship with wind -filled sails which vanished as it was about to crash onto the rocks .
 The seeing of The Flying Dutchman is seen to be a bad omen among sailors with misfortune striking those that witness it firsthand. So on a cruise just watch out or you may see it and suffer the misfortune that follows it.



Does the Captain of the ship have a tentacly- face like in the movie .. So if you see the ship just try to see the face of the Captain and inform us !!!

 All these ships have a certain mystique around them .Except the Ourang Medan , the rest are still there floating in the uncharted waters so beware when you travel  by sea you may see one of them...

Many claim these to just be stories .They might be right or wrong its difficult to judge but always remember anything is possible in a world as mysteriously strange as ours.
