The Ghost Ship Mary Celeste: The Crew That Vanished Without a Trace
In 1872, the merchant brigantine Mary Celeste left New York Harbor on a routine voyage to Italy. On board were Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife Sarah, their young daughter Sophia, and a crew of seven experienced sailors. Just weeks later, the ship was found drifting in the Atlantic Ocean — fully seaworthy, cargo intact, provisions untouched… but not a single soul remained on board.What happened during those missing days between her last log entry and her discovery by the Dei Gratia? Why would an experienced captain abandon a safe ship with food, water, and sails set for the journey ahead? Was it mutiny, piracy, a sudden storm, or something stranger that stole away ten lives without leaving a trace?In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we unravel the haunting voyage of the Mary Celeste, exploring the ship’s background, her fateful discovery, the Gibraltar investigation, and the enduring mystery that still captures imaginations nearly 150 years later.You can get early and ad free access to this show and more here Hosted on Acast.

The Emilcin Abduction: A Farmer’s Encounter with the Unknown
It was an ordinary May morning in 1978 when Polish farmer Jan Wolski set out in his horse-drawn cart. By the end of that ride, he would tell a story that has haunted Emilcin ever since. He described tall, silent beings, a hovering craft without doors, and a strange medical examination that defied explanation. Wolski’s matter-of-fact account has been studied, questioned, and celebrated as one of Europe’s most extraordinary UFO cases and more than forty years later, it still refuses to fade into obscurity.You can get early and ad free access to this show and more here Hosted on Acast.
