Reflections on Fata Morgana and the H.M.S. Barracouta - EsoterX

Here's a pair of mariner tales as presented by EsoterX, the thinking person's fortean. Suitably timed too, considering 2021 is evidently the year of the sea shanty. This first story asks the question, "Doppleganger? Or refracted cloud image?" Spoiler Alert: since the ship in question didn't appear like something out of the 1972 movie Poseiden Adventure, our money's on the doppleganger. Next, it's the story of an ill-fated ship that we'll refer to as The Curse of the Lawrenceburg Ferry. During the 1800s, through various associations with the vessel, a notable number of lives were either lost or destroyed. No wonder we don't pay the ferryman ahead of time. (CM)
