The Ourang Medan was a ghost ship that reportedly became stranded in the Malacca Strait in the late 1940s. It was said to be carrying a cargo of rubber and tin when distress signals were sent out, claiming that the crew had died under mysterious circumstances. When rescuers arrived, they found the ship abandoned, with no sign of life. The legend of the Ourang Medan has sparked numerous theories and speculation, including ideas of a toxic gas leak or supernatural events. Despite various investigations, no conclusive evidence has been found, and the fate of the ship and its crew remains a mystery in maritime history.
