The Flying Dutchman

One of the most chilling stories of the sea is about a ghost ship called The Flying Dutchman. Many have witnessed it. For centuries people have seen this terrifying ghost ship. However it's said that if anyone should witness it, there would be a bad omen. The ghost ship is often said to sail the seas forever. It's believed that the ghost ship's captain is Hendrick Van Der Decken or even Captain Falkenberg, who tried sailing around the dangerous waters of South Africa. Many sailors dread the sail around Cape of Good Hope, as this is where two different winds collide. The place has caused thousands of shipwrecks and the region is known to be a ship graveyard. So the captain of The Flying Dutchman was believed to have made a pact with the Devil, causing the demise of the voyage ship and death of everyone on board, while the ship itself is spending eternity sailing the waters. Some of the eyewitnesses of the Flying Dutchman include the future King George V who saw it when he was a kid. He remembered it as being a phantom ship glowing with a strange red light. This was also witnessed by dozens of other people, and one died soon afterwards. Its' believed that The Flying Dutchman was last seen during WW2, where it was quite active, seen by many witnesses including those from German submarines. It isn't the sort of phantom ship anyone wants to see as it's called a harbinger of death.
