The ocean is so huge that it’s hard for us to imagine all the hidden secrets it holds. In this article, 10 sailors share the strangest and scariest things they’ve ever experienced out at sea. From odd sea creatures to ghostly events, these stories show a side of the ocean few people ever get to see.
The Story:
At night, I used to hear a woman softly whispering my name. It gave me chills, and I couldn’t sleep for weeks. One morning, an older boater saw I looked tired and asked if I was okay. I didn’t tell him why, not wanting him to think I was crazy. But he just said, “If you hear her too, don’t worry. She’s nice. She watches over us.”
Later, I spoke to other boaters who had stayed in that marina, and they’d heard her too. One night, I finally saw her—she was a Taino Indian, beautiful and calm. She faded away as I gasped.
