You all asked for more ghost ships (you didn't) so here they are (you're welcome)! Today we dive back into the Ourang Medan mystery with the game Man of Medan, where stupid, sexy young adults find themselves mixed up with pirates AND a ghost ship. Then we learn about the Mary Celeste, a ship with a terrible track record that just won't quit. It's all about boats from here on out! Just kidding...unless?
