“S.O.S. from Ourang Medan. All officers including the Captain, dead in chartoom and on the bridge. Probably whole crew dead…. I’m dying.”

This is the last morse code message from the SS Ourang Medan in June of 1947. When Silver Star crew located and boarded the seemingly undamaged ship, they were horrified to find the entire crew and the dog dead. They were frozen solid on their backs with their mouths and eyes wide open, with some even pointing toward an unseen enemy. As soon as the crew discovered the horrific scene, the ship burst into flames, sending them fleeing. There are a number of theories as to what happened to the doomed ship ranging from carbon monoxide poisoning to paranormal activity, with many preferring to believe that the ship was targeted by aliens, hence the terrified expressions on the deceased. Over the years, there has been a number of scepticism surrounding this story, with many believing the entire story to be a hoax.
