The SS Ourang Medan was an alleged ghost ship, which was given this title after the death of its entire crew under suspicious circumstances. According to a story, in June 1947, two American ships were passing through the Straits of Malacca, when suddenly they received an extremely strange and distress SOS Communication message. At the time, the origin of this message was not known. But what was said in this message was very surprising which was something like this - "All officers including the captain, dead in chartroom and on the bridge. Probably whole of crew dead". About a minute after this message, another two words message was received, “I die”. After these two messages nothing else was received in that communication, and because the source of these messages was unknown, therefore, at that time all ships near that area were informed about this incident and the search operation for that ship started quickly. Shortly after the search operation, a dutch undamaged merchant ship was found, named Ourang Medan. When the rescuers reached the ship, the scene there was very scary and mysterious, because the entire crew of the ship was dead.
The ship was found littered with corpses everywhere. But one thing that was even more strange was that the expressions of all the dead bodies on the ship were exactly the same. The dead bodies found sprawled on their backs, the terrified faces of the dead upturned to the sun above with mouths gaping open and eyes staring straight ahead, as if they had seen a terrible scene before dying. Not only this, the dead body of a dog present on the deck of the ship was also found in a similar condition. Another surprising thing in these corpses was that there were no visible signs of injuries on the dead bodies, and all the dead bodies were decomposing faster than normal. Just as the ship Ourang Medan was to be prepared for a tow by the Silver Star (An American merchant ship) to a nearby port, smoke started coming out of its lower surface and before further investigation, the abandoned ship caught fire and exploded before finally sinking. After the explosion on the ship, the cause of the mysterious death of all those crew members remains an unsolved mystery forever. Who sent that SOS message and why did the entire crew members on the ship have similar expressions after death? Whether they were victims of a paranormal event or something else, it still remains an unsolved mystery.
