Oh.. its Da Dutchman !!

Yep , all of u r fully aware of the above term ryt ? I mean IF u r a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean (of cz everybody are) .. then flying Dutchman is NOT a new word for any of you.. Since I m kinda jobless.. (wel hv more free time at offz that is) thout of doing smthng usful rather than wasting my time on FB or sm other thing.. . so thot of reading wts meant by Paranormal. .n found out abt the FDs .. :D

In the world of sea stories I think the Capt. of this ship has the most variety of names.. (Vanderdecken, Van Demien, Van Straaten, Van der Decken, or Van something else , yep .. I got that infor from the internet.. ) I prefer saying Decken.. (not lyk in Decken Chargers) but some belve that Flying Dutchman IS the name of the Captain.. n I think this also in the top with a large number of versions of the story.. oh wel.. belve wt u want to belve..

Btw.. if u don’t knw abt the ship.. wel it’s a ship which is doomed to sail the seas until the judgment day comes.. .. err.. wts Judgment Day ? end of the world :P.. ( I hope)

Anywys.. he and the rest of crew members was trying to pass the Cape of Good Hope.. bt failed to do so cz of a terrible storm.. (gale) .. as usual the drunken Capt. got mad with the weather and cursed to the high above.. "I WILL round this Cape even if I have to keep sailing until doomsday!" yep.. tht is wt is belvd as wt he said.. n guz wt .. GOD or who ever granted this wish despite the fact that he has asked for the storm to clear out or smthng.. GODs.. :D n so he did.. doomed forever until the day comes for him to pass the canal..

Ok spookiest part.. did u know that this ship was spotted near the Cape of Good Hope when ever there is a storm ? n its belvd that who ever spot the ship is blessed with a tragic death free of charge.. :-0 .. first records of the sighting was in 1835 by a British Ship. They said that the Ghost ship came right at them n vanished.. bt no nothing has hpand to the British crew.. I wonder y .. Hmm.. Oh wel the curse did worked on the person who spot the ship in 1881.. the lookout man on King George V , died falling from the mast ( the flagpole or smthng.. ) luckly the King survived.


I hv read the Scientific explanation of this sights of seeing the upside down ships.. n yea.. my mind wants to belv its true bt my heart is kinda want me to stay in the paranormal state..

Wel all in all.. its very interesting to knw abt these things.. I mean.. I actually thot that Flying Dutchman was a creation by the film makes of POC, but heck No it isn’t. .oh n their story of coming to land after 7 years to find true love is on of the versions said in the history..

So next time if u see a 17th century merchandizing vessel.. oh think again cz u jst might be seeing the ghost ship of Capt. Decken..
