Best of 2025: Ship of the Cannibal - Ghost Ship Survival Horror Story
Weekly Spooky horror podcast brings you a high-seas survival horror nightmare for our Best of 2025 series—equal parts ghost ship, creature feature, and “you’re trapped and nobody is coming.”
Chance and Luka are stranded after a shipwreck—clinging to a container in open water while the ocean churns around them. But rescue doesn’t arrive… and when a drifting vessel appears out of the fog, it feels like a miracle. A derelict ocean liner. A ghost ship. A place to rest, warm up, and wait it out.
Except the ship isn’t empty. The corridors are wrong. The cabins are shredded. The galley has been ransacked down to the metal. And the scraping in the walls isn’t the sea—it’s something living, swarming, and hungry. What starts as a lucky break turns into a full-blown claustrophobic horror story about bad choices, worse timing, and the terrifying moment you realize the lifeboat might not be yours anymore.
If you love ghost ship horror, monster infestations, ocean survival stories, and relentless “can’t escape” tension, this one is a year-round must-listen—especially with headphones on in a dark room.
