Ghost Ships



Several ships have washed up on the shores of Japan containing nothing more than skeletons and dead bodies. Their origins have yet to be identified, but they are believed to be from North Korea. These boast resembles those of North Korea used for fishing. It is suggested that they are manned by people who are not quite sure of how to properly operate in this occupation, since Kim Jong Un expanded the fishing industry for military purposes. These people have no knowledge of fishing. At least four boats have washed up in this past month. In 2015, 12 of these "ghost ships" were washed up on the shore. The number of ghost ships on Japan's shore has increased radically since 2013. More boats are predicted to was ashore in the future.

It is extremely unusual to have this many bodies coming from the same area. My first thought when I read this, was that people were trying to escape the harsh country of North Korea. This ghostly story seems straight out of a book. The events partaken in North Korea are and have been affecting nations around the world, but this is by far the most outlandish and spooky.
