Russian ghost ship disappears off the map

Remember the story about the Russian ghost ship? Well, we don’t want to alarm anyone, but it looks the vessel has vanished into thin air.

Remember the Russian ghost ship story we brought you last week? Well, in case you didn’t hear about it, the Russian cruise ship, the MV Lyubov Orlova, had been lost at sea for weeks, but it turned up some 1,300 nautical miles off Ireland's west coast.

However, we’ve learned today that the ship has recently vanished into thin air. Maybe we should have been taking this ‘ghost’ thing a little bit more seriously.

However, the plausible explanation is that the ship has actually sunk some 700 miles off the west coast of Ireland. According to the Irish Examiner, a signal from the Russian vessel’s emergency position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) confirmed that it was 700 nautical miles off the Kerry coast and still in international waters. However, the EPIRB signal only goes off when it hits water, leading experts to believe the ship has finally gone under.

The Irish Air Corps are monitoring the region, but it doesn’t look like the vessel is going to be causing any more hassle anytime soon - that is until it resurfaces packed with spirits of the dead.
