Creepy Wikipedia Pages About The Ocean And More
If you're one of the millions who suffer from thalassophobia (i.e. the intense fear of deep bodies of water such as the ocean or sea), then I probably don't have to remind you that the ocean, lakes, and other bodies of water can be scary places. So, when I decided to go searching for creepy Wikipedia stories about the ocean and other watery places (yeah, IDK, it's something I do 🤷🏻♀️), I found some horrifyingly interesting results. Check it out:
The catastrophic implosion of the Titan submersible.
On June 18, 2023, the Titan imploded during a dive to the Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic. The underwater vehicle lost contact with its support ship 1 hour and 45 minutes into its dive. A debris field was later found near the Titanic wreck, indicating there had been a catastrophic implosion. It was later concluded that the implosion was caused by structural failure, with many believing OceanGate, the parent company of the Titan, was guilty of "cutting corners." All five people on board were killed instantly.
Custom of the sea, a historically accepted practice of cannibalism, specifically cannibalizing the bodies of the deceased, as a means of survival during shipwrecks and sea disasters when food was scarce.
Vintage engraving showing the survivors of the Burning of the "Cospatrick". The Cospatrick was a wooden 3-masted full-rigged sailing ship that was the victim of one of the worst shipping disasters to a merchant ship during the 19th century. Initially 61 passengers and crew survived, but one of the lifeboats went missing during a storm on the night of 21 November. Those in the remaining boat were infamously reduced to cannibalism, before five survivors were rescued by the ship British Sceptre on 27 November 1874.
Historically, if survivors had no access to food, they sometimes would resort to eating corpses. If there were no corpses, then a lottery was conducted to select a victim. This practice was considered legally and morally acceptable among sailors. However, victims were often chosen because of perceived "expandability," meaning young boys, passengers, or enslaved people were often picked.
The disappearance of passenger flight Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 somewhere over the Indian Ocean in 2014, which resulted in the loss of all 239 people on board.
On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia to Beijing Capital International Airport with 239 people on board. The flight was lost on air traffic control radar but picked up by military radar, hundreds of miles off course from the planned flight path. The flight never arrived at its destination. Although various pieces of plane debris have been found in the years since, most of it is unconfirmed to have actually belonged to MH370.
The 1973 Mount Gambier cave diving accident in Australia, which killed four recreational scuba divers.
The four divers, two of whom were siblings, went exploring at a large sinkhole known as "The Shaft," the total length of which is still unknown. The divers apparently went beyond their planned limits and without the help of a guideline. As a result, they got lost and likely disoriented as their oxygen ran out. Two ended up in a dome area with no exit, one was seen swimming further down in the wrong direction, and the fourth was believed to have been lost beneath a cave ceiling. All four eventually ran out of air and subsequently drowned. It took a year for all of their bodies to be recovered.
The Disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley while on a cruise in the Caribbean.
Bradley was on a cruise in the Caribbean with her family when she went missing on March 24, 1998. When Amy's father, Ron, got up early to check on his two kids, he saw that she was apparently asleep on a lounge chair on their cabin's balcony. However, less than an hour later, at 6:00 a.m. she was gone. After a brief search, her family reported her missing to the crew. However, the response was that it was "too early" to make a ship-wide announcement. The crew and staff did eventually search for Amy and then a four-day search by the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard was conducted, but she was never found. There have allegedly been a number of sightings over the years since.
The wild 1961 story of Terry Jo Duperrault, aka the "Sea Orphan," who was rescued out at sea after floating without food, water, or shelter for three and a half days.
Terry Jo Duperrault was just 11 years old when she was found floating in the ocean on a small raft. It turned out that Terry had been on a boat just a few days before with her family and a man named Julian Harvey...who had, himself, been recently rescued out at sea.
The twist is that Harvey had actually tried to kill Terry and her family. He had been hired by Terry's family to captain a yacht for a once-in-a-lifetime around-the-world trip. But, instead, he murdered everyone on board and left Terry on the sinking yacht to drown before he escaped. When Terry was found alive, Harvey (who did not expect her to survive his ploy), was notified. Just hours later, Harvey died by suicide.
The death of three crew members onboard the ship, The Ocean Challenger, which was featured in Season 3 of the show Deadliest Catch.
The ship was crewed with four men who abandoned ship after it capsized and took on water. Only one survivor made it out. Rescue missions also found two dead crewmen floating in the water and one empty survival suit.
This entire article is dedicated to the phrase "Man overboard!" which also includes the fact that hundreds of people have gone overboard from cruise ships since 2000.
According to the section about "overboard statistics," since 2000, 284 people have gone overboard or fallen off of cruise ships, while 41 people have fallen off of ferries. And, apparently, "in any given month," roughly two people go overboard, while only 17 to 25 percent are rescued.
The Lake Bodom murders, one of the most infamous unsolved homicide cases in Finnish criminal history.
In June 1960, four teens decided to camp on the shore of Lake Bodom. Three of the teens were stabbed and bludgeoned to death. The only survivor, Nils Gustafsson, sustained a concussion and some facial fractures. He claimed to have only gotten a glimpse of the attacker. Gustafsson was later tried for their murders but acquitted.
The Disappearance of Rebecca Coriam who was a crewmember on the cruise ship Disney Wonder.
Coriam missed her shift one morning aboard the Disney cruise in 2011, and couldn't be found in her room or anywhere else on the ship. However, investigators did find CCTV footage of her (at 5:45 a.m.) having a phone conversation and appearing emotionally distraught. This was the last record of her presence aboard the ship and her body has not been found.
The case of Harold Holt, a former Australian prime minister who disappeared while swimming at Chevion beach in Australia.
Holt was still in office when he went missing in 1967, and the case spawned several conspiracy theories — including wild ones like that he'd been taken by a Chinese submarine. Holt had left behind his clothes and spearfishing equipment on the beach, but his body was never found. Holt was later presumed dead.
The disappearance of Amelia Earhart over the Pacific Ocean in 1937.
Earhart was an aviation pioneer who, at just 39 years old, disappeared over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 while attempting to become the first woman to fly around the globe. Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were last seen taking off from New Guinea on July 2, 1937. And her last contact was a message to a Coast Guard boat saying, "We must be on you, but we cannot see you. Fuel is running low. Been unable to reach you by radio. We are flying at 1,000 feet.' And, finally, an hour later, 'We are running north and south.' A rescue attempt and search were made, scouring 250,000 square miles of ocean, but it was called off on July 19. Although there has been a lot of speculation over the years, no one actually knows what happened to Earhart and Noonan.
Little Miss Lake Panasoffkee, an unidentified young woman found murdered in Florida.
This Jane Doe was discovered partially submerged in Lake Panasoffkee in Florida. The victim was fully clothed, with a ring on her ring finger (suggesting she may have been married), and with a man's size 36 belt fastened around her neck.
The Lava Lake murders, one of the oldest unsolved murder cases in Oregon's history.
This was a triple murder that occurred at Little Lava Lake in Central Oregon's Deschutes National Forest almost 100 years ago, way back in 1924. Three friends had planned to spend the winter in a log cabin, working as fur trappers. After going missing, blood, human hair, and teeth were found leading to the lake where their bodies were eventually discovered as the frozen ice thawed.
The story of Rev. Adelir Antonio de Carli, who floated out over the ocean and disappeared from contact after being tied to 1,000 balloons.
Although the priest — who was making an attempt at "cluster ballooning" (a form of ballooning where people are literally harnessed to a cluster of helium-inflated rubber balloons) — had been equipped with all kinds of gear like a radio and a GPS tracking device, he was lost for months, and his corpse was eventually found in the ocean.
Roopkund or "Skeleton Lake" where you can see hundreds of human skeleton remains.
This shallow lake in India is famous for having hundreds of human skeletons at the edge, which you can see when the snow melts. According to researchers, the bones are the remains of people killed in a sudden and violent hailstorm in the 9th century.
The disappearance of Andrew McAuley whose distress calls were later found on a recovered memory stick.
McAuley was an Australian kayaker who attempted to cross the Tasman Sea in 2007. He slept in the kayak using a sea anchor and a capsule that enclosed him into the kayak's hatch. When his kayak was recovered, the capsule was missing. In the aftermath, footage was found on a memory stick in his camera and shows him making distress calls saying he was sinking and needed a rescue.
The Murder of Helle Crafts, a Danish woman who was murdered by her husband and whose chopped-up remains were found in a lake.
After Helle Crafts's disappearance in 1986, a snowplow driver reported seeing her husband using a woodchipper near the lake on the night Helle was last seen. In and near the lake, police found pieces of metal and human tissue including a tooth, a fingernail, bone chips, human hair, fingernails, and blood that all matched Helle. Police concluded her remains had gone through a woodchipper. Her case partially inspired the film Fargo.
The Salish Sea human foot discoveries.
Since August of 2007, there have been at least 20 DETACHED human feet discovered off the coasts of British Columbia in Canada and Washington state in the US. There are a ton of theories as to why JUST feet have been discovered — ranging from boating accidents, plane crashes, suicide, foul play, and even the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
The Lady in the Lake trial about a woman whose body was discovered by amateur divers at the bottom of a lake.
Carol Park's body was discovered at the bottom of Coniston Water in North West England. She had been wrapped in a pinafore dress, plastic bags, and weighed down with lead piping. In a post-mortem, it was discovered that her face had been smashed and that the murder weapon was an ice axe. Her husband, Gordon Park, was eventually found guilty, but there was a ton of controversy surrounding the case.
The existence of bog bodies — i.e. human cadavers that have been naturally mummified in a peat bog.
The preservation of bodies in bogs is a natural phenomenon, i.e. not a result of humans purposefully doing it. The bogs' acids, with pH levels similar to vinegar, conserve human bodies in the same way as fruit is preserved by pickling.
The Lake Nyos disaster that killed almost 2,000 people.
This 1986 eruption in northwestern Cameroon triggered the sudden release of about 100,000–300,000 tons of carbon dioxide. It's believed that most of the victims had been poisoned by a mixture of gases that included hydrogen and sulfur. Among eye and nose pain, victims also suffered asphyxiation similar to being strangled.
The MV Joyita, a ship whose crew and passengers mysteriously disappeared.
This merchant vessel set sail in the South Pacific in 1955 with a crew of 25, but was found adrift five weeks later with no one on board and in bad condition. There are many theories about what happened, especially since the ship had been called "unsinkable."
The Diving bell spider — a species of spider that lives almost entirely underwater.
Found in clean fresh water (like lakes, ponds, and more), this is the only known spider that spends almost all its life underwater. It only comes above the surface to briefly replenish its oxygen supply. Their bite is very painful and can cause vomiting and feverishness.
The sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis that left crew members floating alone in the ocean...with sharks.
Apparently, the sinking of this ship resulted in the most shark attacks on humans in history. It was so bad that some survivors killed themselves or even other crew members in various states of delirium and hallucinations.
The Abyssal zone, the part of the ocean that remains in perpetual darkness.
This layer of the ocean comes from the Greek word meaning "bottomless," and makes up over 83% of the ocean and covers 60% of the Earth. Since there's no light, there are no plants to produce oxygen which results in a death trap for organisms that can't quickly return to oxygen-enriched water above.
Finally, this very long List of Bermuda Triangle incidents.
There are at least 923 fatalities attributed to the Bermuda Triangle including many missing planes, incidents at sea (allegedly Christopher Columbus and his crew even saw strange lights there), and one incident on land where two lighthouse keepers went missing, never to be found.

Dad Teaches How to Survive Natural Disasters, but Wanted to Do More. How Son's Stuffed Animal Inspired Him (Exclusive)
Anthony Finchum, the man behind the DisastrousHistory podcast and social media pages, has launched a new effort to support kids impacted by natural disasters Through "Operation Stuffie Strong," Anthony and his wife Kaitlin aim to deliver funds and stuffed animals to kids and families impacted by tornadoes, hurricanes, fires and more "I was not expecting the reaction," Anthony tells PEOPLE after receiving more than 40 stuffed animals and nearly $400 in donations on the first dayWhen disaster strikes, the recovery process can be both physically and mentally demanding. It can be an especially difficult time for kids, who sometimes lose everything they've ever known. Now, one content creator is using his platform to offer these kids emotional support through a new initiative. Anthony Finchum is best known online as the man behind the Disastrous History podcast and social media pages. For years, the 31 year old, who lives in Nebraska, has used his platform to teach his followers how to prepare for and survive disasters. Now, Anthony tells PEOPLE that he wants to use that same platform to help those impacted by these same catastrophes. He and his wife Kaitlin, 35, recently launched 'Operation Stuffie Strong,' which aims to bring children comfort following a disaster by providing them with a special stuffed animal. 'I think that it's important to do something like this to show that, especially kids, you're not forgotten,' Anthony explains. 'People care, people want to help, people want to give you comfort.' Originally from Indiana, Anthony has long been fascinated by natural disasters, having experienced his fair share as a child. At 18, Anthony joined his local fire department, where he helped investigate his very first house fire during a blizzard. Intrigued, Anthony eventually went to college and took a number of emergency management classes, eventually receiving a Bachelor's degrees in fire arson and explosion investigation. In his career, Anthony has done more than 700 fire investigations, and assisted with responses to both hurricanes and tornados. He has also helped run multiple migrant shelters in Washington, D.C., all of which offered him an inside look at the various facets of human suffering. Later in adulthood, Anthony says he fell into a nightly ritual of researching various natural disasters on Wikipedia. He would share his findings with his wife, who then proposed he start a podcast. Anthony agreed, and 'Disastrous History' was launched. He then created several social media accounts under the same name, where he now regularly shared detailed videos about both recent and historic disasters that have impacted the lives of thousands, if not millions, of people worldwide — from tornadoes and hurricanes to earthquakes, fires and more. Now, Anthony has amassed more than 300,000 followers on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and more. With such a large following, he was eager to use his platform to 'give back tangibly to disaster survivors.' On Monday, May 19, Anthony came up with the idea for 'Operation Stuffie Strong.' He tells PEOPLE he was driving home after picking up dinner from his family when the idea suddenly struck him. 'I was thinking about, 'How can I give back to people and who can I do the most good for?' And I was thinking about [how] my son has a stuffed animal that he absolutely loves,' Anthony explains. 'It's a stuffed animal rabbit. He named it Floppy, after Floppy from Bluey." 'And I realized that if we lost our home and he lost Floppy, he would be absolutely devastated,' the content creator adds. That's when Anthony concocted the idea for the iniative. The goal, he says, is to offer kids 'some kind of comfort after they have lost everything' during what may be one of the darkest moments in their lives. 'A lot of these times, these kids are anywhere from two to 10, and the only thing they've ever known is school and home. Or sometimes just home.' Upon returning home, Anthony ran the idea by his wife Kaitlin, who enthusiastically offered to help. She quickly whipped up a website and set up an Amazon wishlist, as well as other ways for people to donate to the cause. Then, it was time to launch. Anthony posted his first video about the iniative on Wednesday, May 21, and it wasn't long before donations poured in. On the first day alone, about 40 stuffed animals had been ordered on Amazon, and nearly $400 had been donated. 'I was not expecting the reaction,' Anthony tells PEOPLE, adding, 'I don't know what I was expecting.' Most of the initial donations come with heartfelt notes from their donors, who recall the impact they felt after receiving a stuffed animal after experiencing a disaster themselves. Some donors still have their special stuffed animals today, and wanted to pass along the kind gesture to another young person. "When we had our tornado back in the '80s, my grandfather found one of my stuffed animals in the rubble and he handed it to me,' one woman wrote, according to Anthony. 'And I still have it on my mantle." Now, they're looking for families to donate to. Those seeking assistance can visit to nominate a child for a stuffed animal. Meanwhile, those who are interested in donating can visit his website, where they can find the Amazon wishlist as well as the Venmo and PayPal accounts. Anthony says he and his wife Kaitlin plan to personally package all of the stuffed animals to families in need, and write personalized notes to the recipients. They also have a crayon drawing of their son's bunny Floppy, drawn by their son himself, that will be 'included on all of the notes.'

Ultimately, Anthony hopes that 'Operation Stuffie Strong' can show kids impacted by these disasters that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 'There is always hope and there is always good,' he says. Meanwhile, Anthony continues to post educational content about disasters of all kinds. By doing so, he believes he can show people how to be better prepared for a disaster, and teach them that enduring such an event 'isn't the end of the world.' 'People can come back, people recover, areas recover,' Anthony tells PEOPLE. 'They may be different than they were before, but you can move on, you can live through it. There is hope on the other side.' Read the original article on People

'Titan' Sub Pilot, Who Led Trip That Killed 5, Was Like the 'Emperor Who Had No Clothes': Former Colleague (Exclusive)
Two years since OceanGate's Titan sub imploded — killing five people — and a fuller picture is now emerging about what really happened before and during tragedy "The emperor had no clothes when I arrived," former employee David Lochridge says of working with OeanGate co-founder Stockton Rush The company tells PEOPLE in a statement: "We again offer our deepest condolences to the families of those who died"David Lochridge doesn't mince words when it comes to describing his time working for Stockton Rush at the experimental diving company OceanGate, which eventually launched a doomed quest down to the Titanic in 2023 — and five people died. 'I didn't realize that they were so good at cutting corners until I actually got across there,' Lochridge tells PEOPLE in a new interview, marking one of the fist times he is speaking publicly. In the two years since OceanGate's Titan sub imploded — killing Rush, the company's co-founder, and four passengers — a fuller picture is now emerging about what really happened before and during tragedy. The U.S. Coast Guard is preparing to release a final report, after lengthy investigation. Some of those close to Rush and the victims, like Lochridge, are also speaking out, including in Netflix's new documentary Titan: The Oceangate Disaster, which premieres on Wednesday, June 11. Lochridge also appeared on the Today show on Friday, June 6. A former diver in the U.K.'s Royal Navy, he worked as OceanGate's operations director until early 2018 and says he was closely involved in the training and preparation for what the company promised to potential explorers (for a hefty fee): trips to wondrous undersea artifacts like the wreck of the Titanic off the coast of Canada. "The company needed a lot of I would say my experience put into it to be able to create this competent team, to be able to actually go out and perform this job that they wanted me to do,' Lochridge says. But 'the emperor had no clothes when I arrived." "I'll never forget this. It was Day 1 [working at OceanGate in 2016]. We landed. … Stockton, I think he was at home or at [the lab], and he stated that the new submersible Titan would not be having any underwater communications in it,' Lochridge recalls. 'I honestly thought he was joking,' he says of Rush, 'but he was deadly serious.' In the roughly two years that Lochridge was a top official at OceanGate, 'I was always met with a lot of resistance,' he says. 'But at the same time, I had to watch what I was doing. I was the new boy in the company.' He says safety warnings included more than an initial lack of concern over underwater communication. Lochridge cites the monitoring system for the Titan's novel carbon fiber hull — the same system that showed eerie cracking noises. 'If I had heard noises like that in a sub, I would never go on it again,' Lochridge says. 'Nobody would ever go on it again.' He also says some of the glue used to put components together was applied merely with spatulas. 'There was nobody there verifying that there were no voids,' he says. 'And it's like somebody putting icing on a birthday cake.' Amid the scrutiny and criticism from people like Lochridge, however, Rush and OceanGate do have defenders for the work they were attempting. (And another person who went on OceanGate dives previously pushed back on Lochridge.) "I believe that it was a noble effort," Fred Hagen, a developer who made two successful trips to the Titanic on Titan, tells PEOPLE. "The goals were to enable mankind to access the depths of the abyss and to further our understanding and to foster a sense of connectivity to the bottom of the sea, which is integral to the future of life on Earth," Hagen continues. "And Stockton took some risk and lived outside the box and paid for it with his life." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Lochridge's own relationship with Rush and OceanGate collapsed by early 2018 and he was fired well before the final, fatal dive. He says he sought to speak out about the company for years, behind closed doors, starting with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. 'Even during my termination, he [Rush] said, 'You know, this could fail,' — which it did,' Lochridge says, adding, 'Unfortunately, … people were in it.' In a statement to PEOPLE, OceanGate said, 'We again offer our deepest condolences to the families of those who died on June 18, 2023, and to all those impacted by the tragedy.' In the wake of the implosion, the company said, 'OceanGate permanently wound down its operations and focused its resources on fully cooperating with the investigations being conducted.'

Titan Sub Disaster: Discovery Documentary Shows Wendy Rush Reacting To Fatal ‘Bang'
Newly released video footage captured when OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush's wife reacted in real-time to the Titan submersible's fatal implosion last year. Stockton and his wife both have long, storied family histories in America, which were under speculation before the submarine went viral for killing its five passengers last year. The submarine lacked many of the qualifications, certifications, and even respected design systems that previous deep-water subs all had in their pockets. From the start, even the most vocal in the deep-sea diving industry, like renowned filmmaker James Cameron, were rightfully worried about OceanGate's missions. Stockton's wife, Wendy, the daughter of the couple who founded the Macy's department store, can be seen shockingly aware in the recently released video that something went wrong on the 'Titan's' final, deadly dive. The chilling footage, obtained by the U.S. Coast Guard and featured in the Discovery documentary Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster, shows Wendy seated in front of a computer on the 'mother ship,' or launching ship of the submarine above, as the sub descended toward the Titanic's wreckage nearly 4,000 feet below on June 18, 2023. Stockton took on the job, alongside the OceanGate team, of continuing to put tourists on the faulty submarine. One documentary team even went on a short dive with the Titan and Stockton before the host of Expedition Unknown, Josh Gates, had to call his channel's executive and beg that the media team be pulled from such a liability of an assignment. In lamens terms, the submarine was already cracked in the main hull and showed signs of its weakness to even the most untrained eyes – like TV hosts. According to the newly released footage, Wendy can be seen suddenly reacting to a loud sound: the very moment the sub's carbon-fiber hull catastrophically failed, killing all five people aboard instantly. In response, she can be seen calmly asking two other OceanGate staff in the video, 'What was that bang?' At the time, the Titan was at a depth of about 3,300 meters, where the immense underwater pressure left no survivors and almost immediately killed all aboard, as confirmed by The victims included Stockton Rush, British explorer Hamish Harding, renowned French diver Paul Henri Nargeolet, and British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood with his 19-year-old son, Suleman. Suleman, at his age and lack of deep diving experience, had no reason to be on the submarine, but Stockton had decided that it was fine even in the unregulated vessel. The submarine was manned by modified PlayStation controllers, something Stockton previously bragged to the media about, per CBS News. While the tragedy officially began with the implosion, the Coast Guard's investigation revealed a dangerous flaw—delamination (a breakdown of the main hull's carbon fiber)—had been detected as early as 2022. Despite repeated warnings from engineers and fellow deep-sea explorers, OceanGate pressed forward with risky expeditions, pushing their unconventional carbon-fiber design that had never been properly certified. As seen in the documentary, the carbon fiber design had failed on previous dives, emitting loud bangs to all onboard. This forced Stockton and OceanGate to completely redesign a similar submarine, which also failed. The carbon fiber wasn't the only weird engineering choice. OceanGate also chose to build a submarine that, in the most simple of ways, mismatched previous submarine designs that successfully reached those dangerous depths. Instead of the widely accepted, in terms of modern deep-sea diving experts, a teardrop-shaped vessel that barely holds one or two passengers, Stockton demanded that his design resemble the stereotypical 'log in the water' design to carry more passengers. More unregulated passengers in an unregulated submarine started to raise concerns among many industry experts before its final tragic implosion. James Cameron's deep-sea submarine, which reached the deepest depths of the ocean floor, was shaped like that raindrop design. His successful dives can be seen in his 2014 film DeepSea Challenge. Cameron has publicly told many media outlets that Stockton and OceanGate were a red flag even before the tragic accident. After the disaster, OceanGate ceased operations and pledged cooperation with the United States Coast Guard investigation. Some engineers and 'dive experts' are now testifying to the Coast Guard about how they understood that Stockton was losing his mind and that the submarine was destined to fail. Some employees claimed to the documentary team that Stockton fired them when voicing concerns or that they were anxious about voicing concerns about retaining their jobs at OceanGate.
