The sea is filled with stories and superstitions, spoken of in hushed whispers by those who brave its waters. But no myth or legend of the sea ever sent chills down the spine of the stoutest of sailors quite like that of the Flying Dutchman. A ghost ship that appears on the horizon with a freakish glow that vanishes as suddenly as it had appeared, the Flying Dutchman is a harbinger of doom, bringing misfortune and death to those who catch a glimpse of it. A chilling legend, but where did the mythical phantom ship come from?
