Cursed on the Great Lakes: 1883

From Southern Ghost Stories Southern Ghost Stories
The Great Lakes hold thousands of shipwrecks beneath their deceptively tranquil waters, but few legends refuse to rest quite like the doomed lumber schooner Erie Board of Trade. In this chilling episode, Allen Sircy uncovers the tragic tale of Scotty, a dependable sailor who plummeted sixty feet to his death from a weathered boatswain's chair during routine repairs on Lake Huron. Long after his burial ashore, phantom footsteps, moving tools, and an eerie figure suspended high above the deck revealed that Scotty had never truly left his post. Even after the vessel struck a reef near Thunder Bay and sank to the lakebed, sailors crossing the fog-choked waters swear they can still see the ghostly schooner drifting in silence—with a lone, spectral crewman forever keeping watch from the rigging above.
