In the first installment of our Ghost Ship series, we dive into the mystery of the most notorious derelict from Down Under: the 𝘒𝘢𝘻 𝘐𝘐. The vessel was discovered floating adrift off the Great Barrier Reef, seemingly abandoned by her three-man crew. The evidence found on board, which many hoped would point to an explanation for what happened, only yielded more questions than answers. The fate of the three crewmen remains unknown to this day, as do the circumstances surrounding their disappearance.

Dr. Charles Budd Robinson was an enthusiastic botanist with a love of all things green, often undertaking scientific expeditions into remote areas of Southeast Asia in search of new discoveries. It was during his final expedition in December 1913 that he would meet a tragic end, allegedly due to one of the most unfortunate translation errors in the history of linguistics.

In the first of many bear-centric episodes, we're heading to Japan to explore a string of violent attacks that plagued the rural settlement of Sankebetsu during the winter of 1915. For five days, an Ussuri brown bear terrorized villagers in an incident that still stands as the worst bear attack in Japanese history. Was Kesagake a monster or just misunderstood?

“I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.” - Herman Melville, 𝘔𝘰𝘣𝘺-𝘋𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘳, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘦
Well, it doesn't get much more forbidden and barbarous than this. On August 12, 1819, the whaling vessel 𝘌𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘹 departed Nantucket port for what was intended to be a three-year expedition hunting giants of the deep. What returned after just a year was a handful of surviving crew and one hell of a story. This is the terrifying true tale that inspired an American classic, and still haunts the seas to this day.
