There was a time when a new recruit was so excited to be on the navy carrier that he got lost on his first day.

Well, there was this time on a merchant navy ship. The cook was making a special dinner and he had a big fish on the counter.

Whenever it was sighted, there were often strange events that followed, like storms or the malfunction of instruments on the Navy ships.

One famous Royal Navy ghost story is about the HMS Erebus. There are tales of strange apparitions on the ship. Sailors have reported seeing shadowy figures moving about the decks, as if the ghosts of the crew from its ill - fated voyages were still there. Some say it could be the spirits of those who perished in the cold Arctic waters during its exploration missions.
