Скачать или смотреть The Ghost Ship That Moved Against the Wind — A True 16th Century Mystery

In 1519, a Spanish ship reached Cuba carrying a sailor who wouldn’t stop screaming at night.
He claimed he had seen a “ghost ship” drifting on the open sea — a vessel with torn sails, no crew, and a lantern that never went out.

Sailors laughed at him… until others began seeing it too.

They described the same thing:
A silent ship moving against the wind, gliding like it was alive.
Its lantern burned even in storms.
No voices. No crew.
Just a black silhouette following them for days.

Superstition spread quickly through the fleet.

Some men refused to sleep.
Others prayed.
A few tied themselves to the mast so they wouldn’t “be taken” in the night.

When the ships reached Havana, the governor ordered an investigation.
But no one could agree on what they saw — except one detail:
every man who saw the phantom ship reported nightmares for weeks.

The incident became known among sailors as
“The Lantern of the Dead Sea.”

And for years afterward, Spanish fleets reported seeing the same wandering light on the horizon — drifting, watching, never approaching…
as if choosing who to follow next.
