The ocean may look calm and inviting, but those who’ve spent time on or beneath its surface know how unsettling it can be. From phantom ships vanishing in fog to glowing lights beneath boats, sailors and sea workers describe moments that defy logic and leave lasting chills.

Together, they remind us that the sea still holds secrets we may never fully understand.
