Spooky story: What happened to Mary Celeste?
Ahoy, random readers! Tonight, I am telling you a real spooky story. 😱 It is about a " ghost ship ", discovered adrift and deserted in the Atlantic Ocean off the Azores Islands on December 4th, 1872 . It was called Mary Celeste, and she had left New York City for Genoa on November 7th. T he captain of the Canadian brigantine Dei Gratia spotted her and ran it inch by inch with his binoculars, without a soul in sight. It looked like a ghost ship. It swayed in a zig zag way, just with the jib and fore-end. The other sails were folded. The Dei Gratia changed course to check for people aboard the Mary Celeste. When her sailors finished their climb up the ladder and reached the deck, they found everything quite disturbing from the start. The charts were scattered on the ground as if they had been thrown into the air. The belongings of the Mary Celeste's crew were still in their cabins along with her cargo of denatured alcohol . What was not was the only lifeboat on the ship.
