As a species we have always believed ourselves the most dominant on the planet, relentlessly expanding outwards to lay claim to the territories and natural resources we discover. And yet, over two thirds of the world remain beyond our reach, hidden deep beneath seemingly endless stretches of water. What do those depths hold for those in peril?

Omg! Thank you so much for making a video involving "The Alkimos." I have lived in Australia all my life and have been facinated by that ship for well over 20 years. I have heard some really messed up things about it. There was even an episode of "The Extraordinary" (paranormal mystery tv show from 1994-95) that tells the story of that ship. Truly an evil demonic ship if there ever was one. It was adrift for many decades just off the shores of Perth Western Australia, she went and sank fully under water only in the last 10 years.

He did manage to survive the wave, but he lost all power on board. He once sailed tho The Bermuda Triangle and when I asked him if something had happed, he sounded very.....how do you say it?.....he said nothing happed and that I shouldet worry about it, but there was just something in his tone that made it sound like he wasent telling the truth.

You actually need a special pilot's / sailing license to sail on them. In bad weather, waves on Superior can swallow whole ships, like the Edmund Fitzgerald...which is no doubt going to be Bedtime Stories next video.

[@mikeborsum2953]

More fun facts: "Superior Never Gives Up Her Dead". It's true. Bodies sink. In warm water, they grow bacteria, which causes gas, which makes a body bloat, and float. In cold water like Superior, which stays at a frosty 39 degrees, that bacteria never forms. Whats more, after a while the corpse will excrete a waxy substance, which also helps preserve the body. In fact, if you dove on the Edmund Fitzgerald, you could find the crew, all perfectly preserved. Whats more, you could find even older victims of Superiors shipwrecks, even ones that died a century ago. I hope Bedtime Stories mentions this.

Think it over. If it's really haunted, having a kid there or going there yourself is not a good idea. You could end up with an attachment. Bringing bad stuff home. My sister did that. She went to some haunted Florida plantation and whatever she brought with her stayed for a year and a half.

[@emilpetersen3365]

As a dane, im used to see shps and boats, so it was really something to watch this episode. I have a story of my own, tho its not negative in any way, but I wanted to share it anyway. I used to be a passenger on an older small ferry, I really loved it and I even got the chance to go see areas of the ship that was not allowed for passengers. When ever I stepped on board, there was always this really sweet and tender feeling. and many times I had to convince myself to leave when we reached land. But there was one time, where I was outside on the deck, standing by the raling when suddenly, it felt and looked (like the horizon and the sight of islands just moved really quicky up and down) like the entire ship did a massive roll, like if she was in rough seas, but it was a shiny clear summer day with really calm seas. I rememeber I had to grab the raling. And yes, I am used to be in rough seas and I very rary if at all get sea sick. On another note, I have always wondered what happens to the souls of those who goes down with there ships. Do they stay there, with the ship or do they float around until a ship comes by and they get a ride to land? Also, I dont know why, but sometimes when I look at vessels that havent been in use for years, not maintained etc, theres always this weird feeling, like the vessel is looking at you. Anyway, great episode! I cant wait til I see the next one!

[@Geister7]

Yes, I love water mysteries! Especially ones involving sea creatures

[@Shipwright1918]

Great stories, looking forward to the rest of the series! One sea story I remember is one about an old lighthouse. One stormy night the crew of a ship gets to talking in the local bar about how glad they were to see the light from the lighthouse, just barely avoided crashing into submerged rocks because of it. The locals give the sailors looks of disbelief and tell them there was no way, the lighthouse had been decomissioned for years and the light had been removed. Same thing happens again a while later, the lighthouse light shines and warns away another boat, the locals go up to the old lighthouse to investigate, a guy's little daughter goes missing. Everybody panics and looks for her, she eventually turns up smiling and giggling. The adults ask her where she"s been, and she says she's fine, the nice lighthouse keeper's been showing her around. Eventually, they dig up a black and white photo of of one of the old keepers back in town, and the little girl smiles and nods, saying that's him. Only thing is, he's been dead for many years... Saw that on an old lighthouse documentary a while back, thought it would fit nicely with all these.

I wonder if some of these are caused by vibrations against the ship's hull. I read that it's common to see shadow people in places like warehouses due to the vibrations of fans and other equipment. I experienced this first-hand when I worked in a factory/warehouse. I think it's possible some of the sightings could be caused by something similar. I also imagine that weeks and months on a ship can cause some psychological stress, which in turn can cause hallucinations. The ocean is terrifying in its own right.

"The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness."

[@sasha1mama]

I recently heard a story about a current-day merchantman whose crew, for no explicable reason, one by one all began screaming incessantly while aweigh. They weren't obviously frightened, but more confused, as all began to scream one man after another, uncontrollably and not of their own volition, as if it were a contagion spreading through the ship that night. Until one man hurled himself overboard - and they all stopped, no longer compelled to shout their lungs out. It happened twice more before they reached their destination, and each time the compulsion only ended when a man leapt the rail into the sea - whether of his own doing or otherwise. I don't know what happened after they docked, but I assume all hands resigned.

[@ashleighbolton3009]

a teacher who taught in my primary school went out on a fishing trip with two of his mates a few years back. I'd seen news articles about searches that were happening for a boat lost at sea but it wasn't until a friend tagged me that I realised it was his boat. Three days after they failed to return to shore. the boat was found at the bottom of the sea. the area is full of reefs and it made the search harder. there was one body in the boat. it was one of my teachers mates. but he and his other friend were never found. it was a very sad time.

[@ryanjones_rheios]

For the second story, I'd almost believe that they were somehow dragging the crew's corpses, likely because their funeral shrouds snagged on the bottom of the boat - probably on barnacles or other materials - and they only floated up when the forward movement of the ship forced water under them and lifted them up before they finally tore away. Seems farcical but it'd explain the photo and is just as likely, if not more, than ghosts. The photo *could* be paradoilia and a guilty crew too but not every face is imagined. Sometimes you do get a fucked up toss of the dice and, while that doesn't mean ghosts, it does sometimes mean mundane shit that haunts your sleep.

[@landstroml]

Hmmm its a good theory but if they were dragging them behind the boat wouldnt they be able to see them around the clock not only at night as reported? 🤔

[@ryanjones_rheios]

@@landstroml I didn't know that it was exclusively night (because its been a while) but even then possibly not. More sunlight would have obscured the faces due to the reflection of the light. The best you'd get was maybe a dark shape in the water that they may have dismissed as shadows, dolphins, fish, etc. At night the pale faces would have been a heavy source of light reflection back-dropped against more darkness, so they'd have stood out more.

[@landstroml]

@@ryanjones_rheios yes that is true but i mean atleast imo you would notice eventually if you were dragging them, because atleast for me if you would see a dark shadow following the boat at almost the same place everyday i would be suspicious amd with so many people onboard i think it would be noticed but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️ i would like to think that the ghost of the crew where watching over them until they delivered the cargo theh were assigned to. Doesnt mean i 100% believe it but i like to think it was like that

[@ryanjones_rheios]

@@landstroml I mean, I'd be willing to say the breakoff happened earlier and paranoia, pareidolia, and isolation caused future sightings to occur at night when the imprecise lighting allowed their brains to conjure up images in the darkness that others had actually seen and described. Then come landfall the basis of the delusion broke down. That all said I wouldn't hold it against someone if they just wanted to feel looked after or believe in ghosts so long as they can work effectively outside of that belief. I'm not a Christian because its a pure and pragmatic rational exercise, after all. I just also personally don't think ghosts are a thing. Spirits are, I just don't think there's a way back without maybe a functional physical form.

I give it a good Waaaagh out of 10 making it best youtube video of January. By the way I recommend you all see miniseries called "Terror" about doomed John Franklin expedition to find a passage from Europe to China through north pole. Show is very underrated but deserves every minute you spend watching it. Also don't watch season 2, it's terrible and has no connection to the first one. Give it a watch, especially if you like Jarred Harris!

[@donfierro777]

My favorite part of all of your videos is the color scheme, black white and every shade of gray in between it really sets the tone for each story and your voice is the cherry on top =] Cheers!

My ancestors were fishermen, and I have a lot of respect for those who work the seas. I love a good sea mystery too ... hopefully this isn't a total clash!

[@SurveyorStudios]

The ghosts don’t freak me out but im genuinely afraid of large under water structures. Shipwrecks, statues etc. ik im weird

[@Elixir_Sullivan]

Same it's normal cause it's dark

[@traveltag66]

Omg so GREAT!!! I grew up and still live on the western shores of Lake Michigan. I can't wait to hear about the Great Lake ghost ships!! 💕💕💕Love love love the sea tales

[@gameram6382]

These stories are amazing makes you feel on edge

[@GVirusInfectee]

I remember reading about those two faces in the water. My grandma got me a book as kid by Readers Digest called Mysteries of the Unexplained. Really old book from the 70s or 80s, but I read the shit out of it. Spooky stuff.

[@thomasewing2656]

The 70's isn't "really old". I was in High School and remember stuff from the 50s. Some of my mates are 30 years older than me and remember Pearl Harbor.

[@GVirusInfectee]

A lone ship on the sea looks inherently creepy.

[@glennwigham1169]

The animation in this episode is gorgeous. Utterly gorgeous just wow

[@BriarRouge]

Ignore nitpicky comments, you’re doing terrific work!

[@nataliewisdom7256]

Love y'all, just wanted to say that the stories of the Kentucky goblins is true I grew up visiting a tiny mining town in the blue ridge mountains and u wouldn't believe some of the things I remember regarding what the old folks called holler goblins (hollow goblins) or Tommy knockers. Those stories got me and my whole family hooked and subscribed

[@romegavadquez6310]

At least with a haunted house you can run away. You’re trapped on a ship. No where to go but into the water.

[@arnolddalby5552]

One should always have respect for the dead. Those who die suddenly may not realise that they have passed over. Hence, the faces in the sea watching the ship. May all sailors rest in peace forever.

[@scottiecopasetic8315]

I totally concur with Sir Bronn. You guys have a phenomenal channel with the best presentation & narrations. I know it takes time & effort to compile your videos (and I'm extremely grateful for all of them). My only suggestion would be to create more often (2-3/week). If u have your channel monotized & the community helps get you subscribers & views - you're gonna blow up & rake in some decent cash. Just my 2 cents. I'm American & I really enjoy listening to a proper British accent. Your stories are awesome & the art is epic! I wish you guys nothing but the best! Thx for everything. Much love & respect...

[@seal7144]

This channel gives me happy chills.

[@sjoak4084]

I know you're on a series about Nautical Mysteries but have you ever considered a video or two on Alcatraz Island? Pretty much everything on that island is haunted or inhabited by something supernatural.

[@meg4891]

excellent idea

[@fallindevast5574]

Yes! finally you covered my request, Ivan Vassili.

[@allamericananti-christ666]

Yes! I can't get enough of these. They're so well done. Love that Skully shirt.

[@nelzelpher2088]

I was thinking about rewatching some episodes but I'll take new episodes!

[@STRAKAZulu]

Still, go back and binge on the rest!

[@IanP1963]

What makes me larf about humans is that they will send man to the moon, map it, send probes to Mars and various other planets, as well as the most distant parts of the Galaxy, but THEY hardly know anything about their own planet even in the C21st !!!

[@clayxros576]

Moon ain't haunted, the sea is.

Well if aliens like you read it, I have no choice do I ?

I've been looking forward to this since you mentioned the series a week or so ago... was not disappointed! Thank you.

[@KatTheScribe]

Wide awake at least an hour before I have to get up and I remembered bedtime stories had posted a couple days ago. No more sleep for me! I love this channel🖤🖤🖤

[@elsacarpenter2902]

The Great Lakes house many mysteries 🖤

[@iraqafghanistanmarine6905]

I always love stories that I haven’t heard of. Coupled with the excellent work by Bedtime Stories, this story captured my attention. Well done!!!👍🙏

[@rachelreii5952]

This is actually creepy. I already fear the ocean just for the depth and sharks. Great job though.

[@maldetete431]

The Ivan Vassili story is my all time favorite nautical story, followed closely by the Ourang Medan.

[@Abcdefghijk920]

Once again! Excellent narration, research, music, artwork, and editing! Amazing channel! Thank you!

[@TheMoonShepard]

Ah, what timing, I'm going on a cruise in a few days...

[@jasonjarnet8141]

"These vast bodies of water remain amongst the most dangerous environments on earth" exactly why I'm so obsessed with deep sea adventured and creaturs, no one knows what lurks beneath the surface, let alone kilometers deep under

[@tbranson9543]

Somehow I always end up watching these videos while I cook. It's perfect

[@Benderrrrrrr]

How is this channel not at 1 mil subs, What is wrong with the internet??? *sigh*

[@zerolly]

Well maybe because a majority of people want to enjoy their goodnight's sleep? hehe

[@lordkrythic6246]

I blame Democrats and Liberals. They poison everything they touch.

[@kylehughes1619]

Dudes, you are amazing!! I remember finding you years ago on cast box and you made an amazing show back then too!!

[@wht-rabt-obj]

I would love to see you do a video on the Edmund Fitzgerald sinking.

[@yamato0965]

Always interested in mysteries, but especially the sea. I hit that click button real fast!

[@thedoruk6324]

It *is* gonna be a truly good time when you see notification from this particularly impressive channel ! :]

[@RainbowTheSnail]

This is one of my favourite channels so I'm always super excited when there is an upload. Another good channel is Crypt TV which does short original horror stories with freaky original characters 💗

[@taqiyasir8086]

Can't wait for part 2, part one was awesome.

[@JKSSubstandard]

I am so damn glad you didnt do the Mary Celeste. The theories behind that ship are rock solid enough that I think we can conclude its no longer a mystery and yet its still the first one everyone jumps to for ghost ships

[@ivechang6720]

Check out this crews vids on submarine mysteries. Some awesome artwork for them too.

[@Josh-ro8ix]

Ironically I just finished watching Kong: skull island then 5 minutes later this popped up

[@plsstopusingmyname]

You are not alone; hence, that happens to me a lot. Even when I am thinking about a show, vola! What do ya know? Its pops up as a notification. I am at stage now : what is' next? I am not alone. Pay attention to other things...you will see.

[@crewinXeagles]

Nautical mysteries? Shit. You could do this channel forever with that theme

[@mr.nobody8288]

I served on the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) and all the crew talked about seeing strange things about the ship. Lights where there shouldn't be any, voices in compartments where no one was at, seeing people in uniforms that were waaay out of date. The ship was decommissioned in 2012.

[@SNP-1999]

That photo of the two dead sailors in the water astern of the ship, looking up at the man who had killed them, is blood chilling, to say the least!
