Ghost ship stories are always great sources of thrills, am I right? Real or not, these tales have also given us goosebumps over the years. However, we are willing to bet that you have never heard of anything like the Sam Ratulangi. It was a cargo ship that got lost at sea for almost ten years. Everyone had lost hope of ever seeing it again when it reappeared without any explanation. How did it resurface just off the coast of a Myanmar village?

Resurfacing Years Later

Anyone who has ever gone to the beach will know that there are plenty of fascinating things that wash up along the shore. You might find a message in a bottle, interesting bits of driftwood, maybe even a giant squid. However, something completely unexpected was found along the shore of Myanmar recently. It was a ship that was last seen nine years ago! Most people had been under the impression that it sunk, so they did not bother going out to look for it. And yet here it was, nearly a decade later.

An Unexpected Return

There have been countless tales of sailors lost at sea, those unfortunate enough to find themselves stuck there even after their death. Did the crew members disappear and return to haunt us? What could have happened here? They did not find any ghost on the vessel, but no one will ever be able to tell us what actually went on board the ship. It was a large ship, so it sounds unbelievable that no one noticed it as it drifted out there in the expanse of the sea. More importantly, how did it come back?
