Decemystery (2020) 30: The Mariana Trench Bone Pit

 

When I wrote about the Mariana Trench Sea Serpent, I said that I hoped to get to this story next year. Well, I decided against that and have instead opted to cover it now. So let’s head back to the world famous deepest known part of the ocean and talk about the Mariana Trench Bone Pit.

Decemystery (2020) 11: The Mariana Trench Sea Serpent

 

The ocean: it’s mysterious, it’s big, it’s got Jason Mamoa living in it, and I once wanted to devote my life to exploring and researching it. In many ways, I’d still love to; I have the desire to take up SCUBA lessons. If only COVID would go away, I could do so.

Anyways, we’re going to be taking a trip really far down into the ocean. So get on the S.S. Vertigo—which is in no way related to the RMS Vertigo. That’s only used for committing ecological catastrophes inland. You see, dear reader: today’s story is one I’ve been meaning to cover because I have only one source for it and even it doesn’t really have much faith in it. Still, it’s quirk and peculiar enough that I think it warrants a bit of attention. So, let’s head back into the pages of the Encyclopedia of Cryptozoology and talk about the Mariana Trench Sea Serpent.

Decemystery 28: MV Joyita

The wreck of the MV Joyita.

The third and final ghost ship story I'm gonna cover this month. I was hesitant to cover this one as I wanted the Ourang Medan to be the ghost ship finale, but I'd say that the MV Joyita is a pretty good one to end on too.
