The Ghost Pirates, by English fantasy, horror, and weird fiction author William Hope Hodgson, was originally published in 1909. The novel is the transcribed testimony of Jessop the last survivor of the final voyage of the ship Mortzestus, who had been rescued from drowning by the crew of the passing ship called the Sangier. The story begins with Jessop recounting how came aboard the doomed Mortzestus, knowing full well of the rumours about the accursed vessel. He then tells of the strange events that begin to increase in frequency and severity on the boat itself. Despite the insanity of events, Jessop presents a clear narrative of events, describing the confusion amongst the crew, and his gnawing fears for his own sanity. Despite not knowing what happened precisely, Jessop believes he cannot completely discard the notion that ghosts, or beings from another dimension caused the strange events.
