3. Witchcraft
On December 22, 1967, a cabin cruise ship called the Witchcraft set sail from Miami with its captain Dan Burack and his friend Father Patrick Horgan.
Their walk was aimed at admiring the Christmas lights in Miami. Just minutes after departure, the ship’s captain said: the cruiser hit something, but it showed no signs of blows.
The coast guard set out to check the ship, but it disappeared completely and was not found until 2021.
