Cryptid Sightings

This blog has a sister; The Queen of Wacky has now been set up over at Squidlog.net.

This new blog will focus on all the strange things that do not include beasties/animals/creatures etc.

Cryptid Sightings will be the blog to read if you’re interested in the furry or scaly creatures that inhabit this world.

So, if I publish a new Squidoo lens about a beastie, it will be featured on this blog. If I publish anything else to do with the strange or weirdy, it will be featured on The Queen of Wacky.

I hope I don’t get too confused! I’m sure you will put me right if I publish the wrong thing on the wrong blog

Oh! and true crime will be featured on True Crime

I think I have all bases covered until something else comes up! No more blogs though. I have too many as it is

I’m finally up and running with my new(ish) account over at Squidoo. My first published squidoo lens on the weird and wacky is

Spooky, Phantom Ships

Spooky ships can be not just haunted ships but those who have mysteriously disappeared, have curses attached and have been left sailing alone with no crew.

We all know the story of the Marie Celeste and the question asked, “What happened to her crew?”

I believe several attempts have been made to solve the mystery one of which is the story of her cargo exploding and her crew escaping to their subsequent deaths on a small boat. This sounds plausible enough but why hasn’t that small boat ever been found?

Did they die one by one and the survivors ate them until there was only one left? Then did he die of starvation or thirst? How long would that take in real time? Days? Weeks? Months?

But then what happened to the boat after that?

Or were they attacked by sharks? Pirates? Pirates would remove all traces of humans but would they take the boat?

It still leaves a lot of unanswered questions which I don’t think will ever be answered.

But would we want them to be? Isn’t half the charm with a mystery is it staying as a mystery?

What are your thoughts?
