Ghost Wrecks in Ocean City
Every great beach town has their own share of ghost stories. The sea in many traditional cultures is considered a thing of great mystery, and a source of deep contemplation that connects you to many different levels of the beyond. The sea is traditionally a place where people are buried, or often lost, and any kind of relationship with death means there will be stories of hauntings. Sometimes, the stories come about as a way of justifying fears, and other times, they simply grow with time, having begun with stories about the lives of love ones that have passed over into other realms. Ocean City, New Jersey is certainly no exception to any of these phenomena of ghosts.
That’s one of the most exciting things here, in fact. This is good news for those who are hoping to find a gorgeous Ocean City hotel to stay in while they throw off the usual bonds of life and responsibilities and just enjoy some magnificent moments on the beach. That’s certainly understandable, and probably highly recommended by anyone with any sense. However, should you get tired of too much pleasure doing nothing, there are ghost tours here that are pretty fun. You’ll get to hear all about the wreck of the Sindia.
This was a ship that split in two in a storm out here in 1901. Attempts at the time to recover anything were abandoned, and the loss was estimated at half a million dollars. Captain McKenzie and the crew of 33 men were all lost, and the ghost stores start right here. There are tales of treasure and a curse, and all the things that children of all ages like to hear about. If that’s not enough, there’s also a restaurant called Sindia, where the theme, of course, is nautical, and the offering is fresh seafood.
