Tonight we will investigate one of the most known mysterious ghost ship stories globally: Ourang Medan. One of my friends asked me about this one, so I decided to dig for information because I was curious about this, so let me share what I discovered.
According to the story, everything began sooner or later in or around June 1947. Two American vessels were exploring the 'Waterways of Malacca' named The City Of Baltimore and the Silver Star, who got a few trouble calls from a close-by Dutch Ship-Ourang Medan. A radio operator sent the accompanying message in Morse Code:
"S.O.S. from Ourang Medan, We glide. All officials, including the commander, dead in the chatroom and on the scaffold. Likely entire of the team dead."
And afterward, a little while later came another morse code which read: "I die."
No messages were gotten after this. The Silver Star, at last, followed the boat and boarded the evidently whole Ourang Medan trying to save yet discovered dead bodies littered all over the place. They were found spread on their backs and their faces looking upwards as though they were shocked! Also, no indications of injury were found on the bodies.
As the Silver Star group was getting ready to tow the Ourang Medan, a fire abruptly broke out in Ourang Medan's cargo hold. Making the Silver Star retreat as fast as possible. The Ourang Medan at that point exploded and sank into the sea, confining any investigations to be done on the dead bodies.
This thing in itself is mysterious. The boat exploded and helpfully halted anybody to at any point study the bodies and perhaps discover what had murdered them.
Many theories were made about the said story. You might be thinking that is all that happened but, we need to remember that the Ourang Medan exploded lastly sunk into the sea. No examinations might have been potentially completed. Moreover, nobody approached professing to be partners of any group part. Nothing else is thought about the secret, and all we need to go on are the hypotheses.
One hypothesis was that perhaps an undetected seething fire or glitch in the ship's boiler frameworks might have been liable for the wreck. Here happened the getting away from carbon monoxide might have caused the death of all on board, with the fire at long last gradually fanning wild, prompting the Ourang Medan's definitive obliteration.
Another theory is that the boat was shipping nerve gas which the Japanese military had been putting away in China during the war. It was given to the U.S. military toward the finish of the war. No U.S. boat could ship it as it would have left a paper trail. Subsequently, the Ourang Medan. Furthermore, perhaps the spillage of that nerve gas made the whole group bite the dust.
The most well-known theory that people believe is the paranormal phenomenon. This has shown up in numerous books and magazines. The apparent absence of any wounds or a specific reason for death has raised hypotheses that some paranormal movement may have been included. The dead crew members' faces were confronting upwards towards the sky with a shocking look on it.
There are likewise reports that they were pointing towards their potential foes. By their bodies' situation, it appears as though there was an up thing in the sky, which may have brought about the deaths.
What's your opinion on the Ourang Medan? Was extraterrestrial activity involved in this situation? Was there injustice? Or then again, was it merely a story that one insane sailor made up which captivated the entire world? See the video below to understand the whole story.
