Ghost ships in the Human world.

[Newman1651 35]

What if equestrian magic was capable of spawning a ghost ship or two in the Human world:

These are either hulks raised from the seabed by equestrian magic or ships cursed and doomed to forever wander the seas aimlessly for eternity. Attacking any ship or coastal city/town that crosses it's path,

The following characteristics that these ghost ships would share would be the following:

 

- All are pirate ships as their greed brought them to this fate.

 

- All are ships from the age of sail.

 

- All are invisible to radar.

 

- All are supernaturally fast and nigh uncatchable.

 

- These ships tend to surround themselves with either fog or stormclouds.

Well then it seems that under most circumstances they would have little to do with anything save the odd unlucky sea traveller. Perhaps paranormal bloggers would spend time chasing them down and trying to prove their existence? oh, and metorologists would probably know about them from sattelite tracking, though they probably wouldn't know they were ships.

I can also imagine that some of these bloggers disappearing and never being heard from again as they end up either getting captured or killed by the ships they were coming after.

 

Another thing of note, if two ghost ships were to attack each other, they are unable to damage or sink one another.
