Episode 118- Missing Maritime Records
Welcome to What The Heck season 3! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered has been solved. This week, we're looking at the Ourang Medan. The SS Ourang Medan exploded in the 1940s near Indonesia. Despite efforts to rescue the ship and its crew, the Silver Star, a US ship, was unsuccessful. Allegedly, a single crew member made it out of the ship alive, perishing days after recounting the events that led to the explosion. There's a problem with this though- the ship doesn't exist on paper. What happened to the Ourang Medan? Who was the survivor and what did he see? Where are all the documents for the ship? Listen in to hear all the theories!
