Supernatural Phenomenon: Ghost Ships

Looking at the distant silhouette of the ship, the father wondered why such an old-fashioned vessel was sailing straight towards him from the storm, emitting a strange glow.

But the father couldn't worry about that anymore. Since the other party could sail steadily in the storm, then as long as he got on their ship, he would be safe.

Clinging to his last shred of hope, the father laid his son down.

"Get the stuff in order, and I'll take the helm again!"

The child asked, his voice trembling with tears, "Was that ship here to rescue us?"

The father nodded seriously.

He then gritted his teeth and took the helm again, hoping to get closer to that ship.

Perhaps it was his skillful steering, or perhaps the ship was moving much faster in the storm than expected.

A massive shadow loomed over them.

Looking at the Eldritch Beings ship, the father held his breath; that moment would be unforgettable for him.

It was a giant steamship with masts that seemed like it belonged to the last century to them.

In this new era of widespread Magic Energy, it's like something out of an oil painting by a madman.

The ship's hull emitted a faint green glow, not from any light source, but like flowing mist, tangible and substantial.

Beneath the light was a decaying wooden hull, and even the smell of decay could be clearly inhaled.

The broken mast stood tall, and there was a chimney standing to the side that emitted no steam.

An uneasy atmosphere, like the flowing air, permeated the raging abyss.

The father stared at the ship, unable to comprehend how such a dilapidated vessel could sail against the wind and waves.

Or, to put it another way, why are such ships able to sail at sea?

Furthermore, the lack of a steam engine for power, evidenced by the absence of any chimneys emitting steam, is the best proof of this.

It looks like a shipwreck that should have sunk to the bottom of the sea.

It should not continue sailing in the Real World.

But he couldn't care less about that now; he grabbed the railing of the fishing boat and screamed wildly.

They only hoped to attract the other side's attention and get them to stop their boat and rescue them.

However, his roar was blown away by the storm.

Or perhaps the other party simply didn't notice them; this Eldritch Beings ship showed no sign of stopping.

They sailed straight ahead, just like their tiny fishing boat.

"We're going to crash!!"

The father screamed frantically; he knew it perfectly well.

Fishing boats that storms and giant waves cannot destroy will definitely break under such an impact.

And they will inevitably fall into this sea, which is even more terrifying than an abyss, upon such an impact.

Then it was all in vain; the buoy rushed into the driver's cab, embraced the crying child, and closed its eyes.

However, the violent impact he had anticipated, the breaking of the fishing boat, and their fall into the sea did not occur.

When he opened his eyes, he stared in horror at the strange scene before him.

The ship, radiating a green light, was like a giant phantom.

Their ships, overlapping each other, continued sailing forward.

Moreover, the decaying corridors and cabins of the ship appeared before them one by one.

No... not only these things that originally belonged to the ship, but also the skeleton that was radiating green light all over, wearing tattered sailor uniforms, but was still moving!

What... what are those things?!

At this moment, both the father and son's eyes were filled with fear and madness.

They didn't understand what these things were, or what kind of existence they were.

But those glowing green skeletons looked to them as if they were a delicious meal when one is hungry.

They immediately swarmed towards them.

A gloomy, oppressive, and chilling feeling crashed into my heart.

The rushing skeletons pierced through their bodies, but the green light, or more accurately, a green flame, clung to them.

Green flames rose and passed over them, but what burned them was not their bodies, but their reason.

As the Eldritch Beings ship passed them by, the father and son remained standing on the deck, stunned.

Before their last shred of sanity extinguished, they saw what lay behind the ship.

There were also countless green lights appearing.

A giant wave capsized their boat, and they began to sink to the bottom of the sea along with their fishing vessel.

But the green flames continued to burn and began to engulf the sunken ship.

The storm has passed, and the sky is clear after the rain.

The sea returned to calm, but all the ships had vanished as if they had never been there.

However, a few days later, a fishing boat sailed from Innsmouth Harbor, ready to start fishing operations there.

As more and more ships go missing, and some people have reported seeing those glowing green from afar.

Ships that shouldn't belong to this century are still sailing.

This finally attracted the attention of higher-ups regarding the newly emerging Eldritch Beings and unexpected events.

That was taken very seriously.

The Foundation immediately dispatched a special task force to cooperate with the Potions of the Esoteric Order of Dagon to conduct an investigation.

Some investigators, graduates of the Miskatonic School, also conducted their own investigations.

After several months, they finally spotted the ghost ship sailing on the high seas.

And I recorded it.

Through continued investigation, they discovered that this was not a supernatural object, but a supernatural phenomenon.

Those ships that sank to the bottom of the sea, for some unknown reason, are now sailing again on the Sea of Death.

They roamed in groups, emitting a green glow; in fact, they were flames of an unknown substance constantly burning.

It cannot burn matter, but it seems to burn reason.

Among the Potions investigated initially, some who became addicted descended into even greater madness.

So much so that he shouted that he had seen something and plunged directly into the Sea of Death to pursue that great being.

These ships have no Entity, they are like phantoms, but at certain times, they can Entity.

Above were also dead sailors, their appearances ranging from skeletons to spirits, all burning with green flames.

They are also unable to leave the ghost ship; if they do, they will die instantly.

Furthermore, the appearance of these ghost ships is almost always accompanied by storms and fog.

As for how it appears or disappears, it cannot be detected, just as it appears and disappears out of thin air.

Once a normal ship gets close to these ships, it's as if it's cursed, and it will inevitably sink within a very short time.

Even if it wasn't overturned by the wind and waves.

Some time after the shipwreck, they reappear on the Sea of Death as ghost ships.

According to the Foundation's research, this supernatural phenomenon cannot be contained at this time.
