Ghost ships washed up in Japan with skeletons on board. The authorities haven't identified their origin but they suggest they are from North Korea. One wooden boat washed ashore on the Miyazawa Beach on the northwest of Japan's main island, Honshu. This boat held eight skeletons! Last Friday, the boat was spotted drifting around the sea, but on Monday is when it made its way to land. Satoru Miyamoto is a professor at Seigakuin University and said that the number of ships washing ashore on Japan's coast has increased since 2013. There have been strange spottings like this for the past month. On November 17th, four bodies were discovered on a boat in the same area. On November 23, eight North Koreans were rescued after the boat washed ashore.
This strange event going on in Japan and North Korea could affect America in the future. Possibly, North Koreans are trying to escape their country and end up dying on board. With all that is going on in that small country today, there could possibly be a war in the future and America may be involved. It is very unusual that there have been so many boats with several bodies on them, and they are all from the same area.

  2. I think it's pretty interesting that Japan isn't able to or just doesn't find these ships until they've already run aground; you'd think that in this age of technology we'd be able to spot these ships a little earlier.
