The Mystery of Ourang Medan Death Ship

In June 1947, a mysterious S.O.S. was picked up by several ships along the straits of Malacca near Sumatra. The mysterious message was identified as coming from a Dutch freighter called Ourang Medan. The S.O.S. included a message which said, "All the officers including the captain are dead lying in chart room and bridge. Possibly whole crew dead." And then followed by another message from the same sender, "I die."

Silver Star, which was closest to the troubled Ourang Medan during that time, rushed to the ship's location in hopes of rescuing its crew and those aboard. Upon arriving, the Silver Star crew tried to signal and contact Ourang Medan but, unfortunately, there was no reply. When the crew boarded the ship, they made a shocking and mysterious discovery: everyone aboard were dead. The captain on the bridge, the officers in the wheelhouse, and the crewman who sent the message of distress with his hand still in the wireless Morse Code; they were all dead.

All the corpse had their eyes wide open and mouths agape. It looked like they've seen something too horrifying before their death. What's more mind boggling is that there was no blood nor any signs of wounds or injury on the crew's corpses, thus, ruling out that their death was caused by attack of pirates. When it became clear that there weren't any apparent cause of the mysterious deaths can be further observed, the Silver Star decided to tow the ship back to the port where they can look further into the matter. However, even before they can leave the area, smoke began arising from decks of Ourang Medan, followed by a huge explosion shattering the ship and sending it quickly down to the ocean floor.



What exactly killed the whole crew of Ourang Medan remains a mystery. One of the possibilities is that the ship is involved in smuggling operations of chemical substances such as potassium cyanide and nitroglycerin; or wartime stocks of nerve agents. According to theories, sea water might have entered the ship's hold and reacted with the chemicals which caused the cargo to release toxic gases that killed the ship's crew through asphyxia or poisoning. This might also explain the reported fire and explosion in the ship.



There are also some odd speculations involving extraterrestrial attacks and other paranormal forces surrounding the Ourang Medan crew's deaths. According to the Silver Star crew, they experienced immense cold in the ship's lower decks, thus, causing beliefs that "ghosts" are somewhat involved in the crew's demise. In any case, the real cause of the mysterious deaths of Ourang Medan crew is remains unsolved.

Child Mummy Open And Close Her Eyes

A very creepy story about a young girl who died is making waves right now. The story is all about a young Rosalia Lombardo who was only two years old when she died from the deadly disease pneumonia back in 1920. Her family especially her father was so heartbroken at the sudden loss of his beloved daughter. Her father asked someone to mummify her.

Roslaiea's mummified body can now be found on Capuchin Catacombs under Sicily’s Capuchin Convent. Rosalia is best knoiwn for being one of the world’s best preserved mummies. But that's not only what she's known for. It was said that everyday she appears to move her eyelids to reveal the bright blue eyes beneath.

According to Rossella Lorenzi at Discovery News, Piombino-Mascali also managed to discover the mysterious yet eerie formula used for Rosalia’s impeccable preservation. When Salafia died in 1933, he took the secret of his preserving chemicals to the grave, and for decades no one could figure out how Rosalia could be so perfectly intact after all these years.

“While most of the mummies buried in the catacombs were treated by the monks and basically desiccated by the dry environment, Rosalia was mummified artificially, In 2009 Piombino-Mascali found a handwritten manuscript in which Salafia listed the ingredients used to mummify Rosalia. The formula read: ‘one part glycerin, one part formalin saturated with both zinc sulfate and chloride, and one part of an alcohol solution saturated with salicylic acid” - Rossella Lorenzi

They are known for their pale white skin and black eyes that's absolutely creepy. What makes them more creepy is that they have a habit of hitchhiking or panhandling. They are also commonly known to terrorize anyone who gets to encounter them on doorsteps of residential homes. The sightings for the black-eyed children have been reported in late 1990s and recently they are said to be returning recently to illicit fear to Cannock Chase.

A paranormal investigator named Lee Brickley shared his account of the said sighting of Black-Eyed Child recently.

“On Saturday 13th September, my wife and I were walking though Cannock Chase near to Stile Cop with our dog. Once we had entered the woodland, and the road was no longer visible, we started to hear the giggling noise of a little girl.
“To our amazement, a child, no taller than one meter in height appeared as if out of nowhere further up the path in front of us. We stopped dead in our tracks after noticing her eyes had no colour. Her head was tilted to the side in much the same way it would appear if she had been hung.
“She stared at us for around five minutes before running away into a densely grouped area of trees. My wife wanted to follow her, but I was having none of it.”

It is interesting ot note that it was exactly 30 years ago since the Black-Eyed child was spotted on Cannock Chase. Brickley encourages other locals who have witnessed the sighting of Black-Eyed Child to furthey prove that the urban legend is indeed real.

“In my opinion, the black-eyed child seems to be some kind of demon. While it might seem like a standard spectral encounter, almost all the reports involve the child leading people towards potentially dangerous situations. I have received nine different reports in the last two years from seemingly credible witnesses. During interviews most of their stories have been very similar. I’m also appealing for more reports, so if anyone has more information, I ask they get in touch as soon as possible.” - Lee Brickley to Huffington Post

Cannock Chase is known for eerie and haunting tales of paranormal entities, Pig Man and werewolf-like creatures are also said to have appeared on Cannock Chase before.
