The Ghostly Pirate Ship of Murrells Inlet

One legend I have encountered a few times is that of a ghostly ship said to appear in the inlet on foggy nights, with its sails full of wind as it gently moves through the salty waters, and then disappears when approached.

Some believe it is tied to the pirates who once sailed the open seas and inlets around this area.
