(#12) Ghost Ships Sail on the Shoreless Sargasso Sea
Located just adjacent to the notorious Bermuda triangle, the 2,000-mile long Sargasso Sea has no shoreline - its boundaries are ocean currents. The sea is covered in Sargassum seaweed, which is thick and floats on the surface of the water. Sometimes, people claim to have seen long-lost ships floating on the Sargasso Sea with no one on board.
The same ocean current that sweeps seaweed to the area has also brought a devastating amount of pollution to the area.

(#3) The Remains of a Devastating WWII Battle Lie at the Bottom of the Chuuk Lagoon
The Chuuk Lagoon, Japan’s main military base in the South Pacific during WWII, is beautiful outside but so creepy inside. Under the water there are hundreds of aircraft and warships that were sunk in attacks, drowning with them hundreds more ill-fated soldiers.
The frightening sight of ruined ships and planes along with human skulls greets those who have the nerve to visit.

(#10) Las Cruces de Malpique Is an Underwater Memorial for Missionaries Killed by Pirates
The site of 40 stone crosses at the bottom of the sea off the coast of La Palma in the Canary Islands sure looks like a graveyard. While technically it’s not, the gravestones were drowned to honor 40 Jesuit missionaries murdered by pirates and thrown into the sea in the 16th century. The missionaries sailed for La Palma, aware that threats of death awaited them.
Centuries later, in 2000, local people placed one cross for each monk 65 feet below the surface to honor the martyrs. The eerie atmosphere in the underground memorial sure matches the place’s dark, tragic history.

(#6) The Ghostly Wreck of the Titanic
Found 73 years after it sank in 1912, the wreck of the RMS Titanic paints a chilling picture of the aftermath of history’s most famous sea tragedy. That’s where more than 1,500 people perished, many of them buried underwater along with the enormous ship.
Since the wreckage was found, many efforts have been initiated to pull it from the bottom of the ocean. Unfortunately, none of the missions have succeeded.

(#9) The Neptune Memorial Reef Is an Underwater Cemetery
Brilliant and nerve-wracking at the same time, the Neptune Memorial Reef is the largest underwater cemetery in the world. This 600,000 square foot area sits off the coast of Key Biscayne, FL. So how does it work?
Cremains are mixed with cement, poured into a mold, and carefully placed on the ocean floor by a diver. A plaque (similar to a headstone) is attached to each object. Not just a creepy underwater cemetery, the man-made reef also serves as a home for various marine animals.

(#11) The SS Thistlegorm Sits at the Bottom of the Red Sea
The SS Thistlegorm, a British Navy ship, sunk after being bombed by German planes during WWII. The demolished ship and its cargo now sit at the bottom of the Red Sea, continuing to tell stories of the great horror of war.
Divers trained enough to qualify to explore this area can feel the suspense of the sight of sunken tanks, guns, trucks, motorbikes, and other wartime cargo. Ever since it was found by Jacques Cousteau in 1955, the wreckage has become a prime spot for divers and explorers.

About This Tool
More than 70% area of our beautiful planet is bodies of water, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. Although not more than 10% of the ocean has been explored, even so, limited research has proved that there are some creepy places in the ocean. Diving into these weird underwater worlds feels like entering a science fiction world or even a horror movie. These places where people need to face terror, danger, and even death.
Such as the Mariana Trench is the deepest known place on Earth. It is pitch black, the water pressure is deadly enough, and there are hydrothermal vents, so no one can detect what is there. You could find random 12 creepiest places in the oceans with the random tool.
