Example of a brigantine (not the ship in the article)

Edward Rowe Snow wrote about the Mary Celeste and a lot of other ships and shipwrecks, sea monsters, pirates, gold, lighthouses and miscellaneous. There were supernatural elements in a lot of them. I bought about 9 of them and just a few months ago finished all of them and started on my five Orthodox Jew little miracle books.

I never found the tale again about the 2 priests, each in a different situation. Someone on here years ago wanted me to notify him if I ever came across it again.

I forget details fast but I had several favorites. One was about a descendant of a man who took all his money out of the bank and I think he left a curious will. A generation or two wondered about the money until it was down to one survivor, a woman who lived in the house, was getting up in years and faced with poverty.

She either had a dream or apparition, but a man came to her and pointed to a brick in the fireplace. She hired some workers and they removed the bricks, it took several, but down in the hole was all the money.

One of my most favorites was about the Ghost ship of New Haven since this is about ships. You can google it and I doubt you'll find Edward Rowe Snow's account but there are other pages on the web.

“Then she appeared, as the giggling crew of Marie Celeste...”

I’d always heard it called the Marie Celeste.

This and the “Lady Be Good” story always was spooky. Lady Be Good was a B24 Liberator that got lost and crashed landed in the Lybian desert. It was found like 20 years later and all but one of bodies were found. The USAF salvaged the plane for whatever parts they could use for other planes. Every plane that got a part started having problems, including a Armrest from the plane. The USAF decided to gather all the parts and got rid of them. I guess you might say the plane was jinxed.

OK. Now you have me hooked. They keep advertising the Mystery of the Mary Celeste on one of the History Channels, and I keep skipping it when I’m setting my DVR. I’ll record it the next time it shows up.
