Ghost Ship Adrift: The Haunting Mystery of the Mary Celeste

"Frights and Felonies: Spooky Tales and True Crime Trails"

On December 5, 1872, the Mary Celeste was discovered adrift in the Atlantic—completely intact yet eerily abandoned. No signs of struggle. No distress call. No trace of the captain, his family, or the crew. What really happened aboard this infamous ghost ship? In this episode of Frights and Felonies, we unravel the chilling history of the Mary Celeste, explore the strange mishaps that plagued her past, and dive into the eerie theories surrounding her vanishing. Was it mutiny, madness, or something far more sinister? Some say the ship was cursed, others whisper of a phantom captain still walking the decks. Set sail with us as we uncover one of the most haunting maritime mysteries of all time.
