Talking of phantoms, I sneaked into Aberdeen on a cold, eerie, misty night and spotted what looked like an old tanker sitting at dock. We fired two torps into her, .....nothing, not a sound. Got a bit closer, could just make her decks out thanks to the full moon. She was a sort of creepy shimmering light blue
We opened fire with the deck gun, ......again there was no sound, except from the gun itself,.......and then,... it just vanished, like it was never there.
I've never seen my crew turn so white, we legged it out of there sharpish.
A word of warning to all ye bold mariners, beware the Scottish ghost tanker, stay away from Aberdeen on cold foggy nights....
Ye've been warned.
