In 1872, the Mary Celeste was found adrift in the Atlantic Ocean—completely intact, fully stocked, but without a single soul aboard. The crew had vanished without a trace. No signs of struggle. No distress calls. Just an empty ship sailing on.

Was it a sudden disaster? A mutiny? A terrifying mistake? Or something far stranger?

In this episode, we unravel one of the greatest maritime mysteries of all time, diving into the Mary Celeste’s troubled history, eerie discoveries, and the most compelling theories—including the possibility of a supernatural curse.
