Bristol, England
In 1852, the newly built vessel Good Times was launched from Bristol. In the beginning, superstitious sailors pegged Good Times as a lucky ship: no one was hurt during construction, she launched ahead of schedule, saved 8 days on her maiden voyage, and on the same trip made an $18,000 profit. But soon, always between midnight and 4 A.M., the men aboard began hearing a muffled voice crying “Oh, my” beneath the main hatch. A comprehensive search of the ship revealed no stowaways, but the voice continued to be heard every night. The unnerved sailors threatened mutiny. After several months of the phenomena repeating, the ship was sold, and Good Times’ reputation as haunted was sealed.
Like I said, there is no shortage of stories of haunted ships. This is just one more.
Coffee out on the patio again today!

Always love a good mystery!
Bet the "cry" was just a certain creaking noise they hadn't heard before. Good story anyway.
Boy, that is creepy. Have to agree with Momlady that it was some sort of creaking noise. Good story .
Hey Mamahen...
I try to find some good ones for ya, I really do.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hey Momlady...
I reckon that's very possible. Guess we will really know.
Thanks for coming over this morning!
Hey Linda...
You both make perfect sense to me. Wooden ship, creaky noise...logical!
Thanks for the visit this morning!
Maybe it was one of the crew members trying to drive everyone crazy, never know to much rum. But it is a good one and sure maybe even the sounds of the ship like the others have said.
Patio and early morning sounds fine before the real heat hits again.
If "Oh My" was the worst of it, I'd say it was a pretty mild haunting, right?
Big hugs, Bubba.
Ship hauntings are the best hauntings!
Hey Sis...
I reckon you are right about that.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hey Ashley...
Better aboard some ship than in my house, for sure!
Thanks for the visit today!
