Paranormalists will hate this video.

No Flying Dutchman?! How dare you!

The animation was so great, I almost forgot to listen.

Explaining ghost stories with science facts is probably my new favourite thing

I feel bad laughing at Mary Celeste. They jumped into life boats and died at sea while the Mary Celeste stayed afloat. The irony in that situation is hilarious.

Science is cool and all but the idea of ghost ships is much funner than just a bunch of boats floating around.

buzzfeed unsolved's last upload was about ghost ship (Queen Mary) and now Ted Ed....what a time to be alive.

The Mary Celeste is intriguing not because it still floats around... but rather where & why the people are gone.

3:20 oh so that’s why the ocean taste salty

Welp time to go to the Bermuda Triangle and test this out myself!

Do ghosts have relation-ship to those ships?

"YOU BEST START BELIEVIN' IN GHOST STORIES MISS TURNER"

*gets hit by another ship* *gets abandoned* *hits the other ship and all those who abandoned it while it sinks* Frigorifique is on the levels of petty I aspire to reach.

Just imagine how scary a ship would be, sailing along filled with corpses and in the middle of an ocean, hella spooky, especially on a foggy night.

*Titanic's ghost ship*: These petty humans already made a movie of my demise..?? I'm still here..!!

I don’t think anyone questioned how the Mary Celeste was floating, but rather they questioned where the crew went

The incredible effort put into this video's animations has not been lost on me. It is very clear the creator(s) put a great deal of thought into this piece. The detail is really extraordinary. Just look at how the compass' (bottom right) motion was reconfigured at 1:43 so that it swings in tandem with the ship.

2:48 The lesson learned is if ya think your boat's sinking, stay on it and scream YOLO

When they collected data it reminded me of those rubber duckies they keep track of in the ocean

As a dutchie I'm kinda offended that the Flying dutchman didn't appear in this video :/

See I never really put the boat continuing to sail as something supernatural. It's a boat, it's built to do that and unless something bad happens that requires urgent attention from a crew it's going to keep sailing. I thought the weird ghost part of these ghost ships was that the crew just up and left all at the same time even though evidently the ship was still functional.

But can you explain what happened to the things that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle

The story of the Mary Celeste seems pretty misrepresented here from what I know about it. When the ship was found, the boat held only a little bit of water, which would’ve been expected in any sea storm. Any experienced captain/crew would know that the boat would survive that small amount of water. Only a few things were out of place: 9 barrels of denatured alcohol were found empty, a frayed rope was trailing behind the ship, one water pump was damaged, and the lifeboat was gone along with all the crew. However, everything else was in its place and undamaged. There was no signs of a struggle. There were plenty of supplies left and all personal items were still on the ship. It seems that they either left extremely urgently OR they left thinking they would be back on the ship shortly. The most plausible theory, in my opinion, is that the denatured alcohol spilt and filled the ship. The alcohol released fumes (making it hard to breathe) and was an explosion hazard. So, the captain told everyone to get in the lifeboat, tie it to the ship, and trail behind it while the fumes aired out and the alcohol was pumped out by the water pumps. One of the water pumps was broken, so the alcohol was taking a long time to get pumped out. Eventually, the rope snapped and the lifeboat, with everyone in it, was lost at sea while the ship sailed off unmanned.

Would love to see more videos about the paranormal and superstitions.

liked before even watching

"STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY SHIP!"

This is one of the most informative TED videos. Good work, thanks!

At 2:07, the video was actually wrong in describing why certain objects always float. It's actually because the buoyant force is always EQUAL to the gravitational force, due to the object (such as ice) always got enough volume to displace the weight of the water.

Watches pirates of Caribbean an hour ago. KZfaq: so you like ghost ships eh?

Very interesting video. For that reason, it's disappointing that it ended so quickly. I'm sure many more "ghost ship" sightings could have been explored.

The animation is incredible! Ted is just amazing!

LOVE the animation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How disappointing it is when you are expecting some haunted reason and the narrator is always like: *it’s a natural phenomenon!*

*_”I See the ghosts of navigators_* *_But they are lost_* *_As they sail into the sunset_* *_They’ll count the cost_* *_As their skeletons accusing_* *_Emerge from the sea_* *_The sirens of the rocks_* *_They beckon me”_*

Very interesting! Love the video and the animations! :D

This video just took the thrill out of ghost concepts now

Reminds me of the Flying Dutchman from Spongebob 😂 #Childhood

*_and now i'm googling all these ghost ships_*

Ted Ed, you guys have become my most favorite channel in youtube.

I really enjoy your videos and learning more about history and cool facts. I think that your videos are also very helpful with my school assignments and even though some aren't used for school, they are still enjoyable to watch! I really love your myths and thinks their amazing but other videos and just as enjoyable!💞💞♥️

Oh, the Flying Duchtman!!!

3:07 No wonder the ocean is salty...

The best thing about Ted-ed is their animated videos which make the whole information, an entertaining and immersive experience.

this is one of my favorite ted-ed videos ever

유령선이 실제로 존재하지 않다는것을 배우고 잘 알려진 유령선들이 유령선이 아닌것을 증명해보는 시간이 되었습니다. 정말 재미있는 시간이 되었습니다. 감사합니다. 응원합니다!

1:35 When I saw the pool floaty and the drink and the I was like was it because they were partying

I enjoyed this video a lot, thank you Ted

Very interesting, and thank you very much for the subtitels.

my childhood is over ;-;

So science can really prove ghost ships are real. Science can prove nearly everything is real

Man I am loving these videos, please keep them coming first Frankenstein now ghost ships its like a childhood dream.

I loved the the picture of Archimedes sitting in a tub of water at 4:39, referring to the time when he discovered the Archimedes's Principle of weight displacement/buoyancy and running down the street shouting "Eureka". :D

notification squadddddd onwards and forwards FOR HOONOOOR

When you're an engineer, nothing impressionates you anymore, you know every possible trick .. Life is sad !! 😂😂

I like the animator added the same archimedes from the video of archimedes' Eureka.

this video animation was awesome. keep it up dude and make more ghostly videos

come on ghosts arent real

I’m fourth grade, my teacher read us the “mystery” of the Mary Celeste. I always wondered what actually happened. Thank you!!!

The archimedes picture frame at the end is so cute 😂😂😂😂😂😂💕

Thank you Ted-Ed....smarter every day!

Ey,Pirates of the Caribbean! The best movie franchise for me

Maybe you'll Found Jack there ( Titanic Vibes )

Thankyou for not talking about ghosts I would of gotten rid of the channel. Keeping it real and scientific much respect

This channel is an endless stream of joy

Who comes up with these questions for the videos?

3:15 "but as the salt dissolved in the water...." Me: So that's how the salt water was born....

Awesome way to combine physics principles and strange, but interesting phenomenon

fantastic. very well presented

Demons do exist they are powerful wicked spirits, but there is one in whom the demons fear...

Ever been so backed up you got bigger?

Love this episode!

You should do a new video on the mv Alta that was recently (from the post of this video) washed up on co cork Ireland.

*I IS NEEDS FLY DUTCH DUDE* I like typing like that

I don't get the physics in this clip. The water doesn't fill until it has reached the hole, it continues until the water level is the same in the ship and outside the ship (that's when it's in equilibrium) In this case, no water is displaced and the ship sinks. The only way I can think of is if the water gets isolated in chambers so that it doesn't reach into the rest of the ship. This would stop the inflow of water.

Love these videos.

This ultrasonic noise while the icons pop in through.. :3

I'm still scared though . sadly my brain can't apprehend common sense

Did anyone see the picture in the bottom left corner at 4:45? Or was I the only one...

there's nothing more satisfying than an already fascinating legend combined with the science behind it

man these videos are beautiful to watch

200 ghosts disliked this video

how were there engines in 1800s????

This guy's narration is the best

Remember sailors, don't leave your engine running.

'Are ghost ships real?'... WTF?... No! They're 'GHOST' Ships. Duh!

early asf..

I'm surprised this video didn't mention mirages that show ships appearing and disappearing (based in reality on ships at the horizon, but light and water reflections cause them to appear at great distances as a ghostly image)

I don't get how TED-Ed can make money off these videos. They are such high quality and must take much more to make then they make from them.

first

Ghosts aren't real!!! God is not real!!! There is no after life!!! Just the here and now!!! So make the most of it!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing voice over

I think it's far more amazing that those abandoned ship are found again. Far slimmer chances than a needle in a haystack.

For some reason, I find it really cool that empty ships just continued on their merry way for years after being abandoned. I almost didn't click this video because I thought the title was referring to spooky transparent white ships with no mass, which obviously don't exist.

Loved this video ❤️

There's a board game that was funded on Kickstarter and one of the many ships you may encounter will be the Mary Celeste.

The fact that they track down the ship and end up with so-many-stream just wow… that must be a lot of works..

Thank GOD for this guys voice!

That picure of Archimedes at 4:44 is too cute

Wait, are there any updates about the Bermuda Triangle incidents?

Wow I like these videos! These videos are awesome!
