(#12) Ghost Ships Sail on the Shoreless Sargasso Sea
Located just adjacent to the notorious Bermuda triangle, the 2,000-mile long Sargasso Sea has no shoreline - its boundaries are ocean currents. The sea is covered in Sargassum seaweed, which is thick and floats on the surface of the water. Sometimes, people claim to have seen long-lost ships floating on the Sargasso Sea with no one on board.
The same ocean current that sweeps seaweed to the area has also brought a devastating amount of pollution to the area.

(#9) The Neptune Memorial Reef Is an Underwater Cemetery
Brilliant and nerve-wracking at the same time, the Neptune Memorial Reef is the largest underwater cemetery in the world. This 600,000 square foot area sits off the coast of Key Biscayne, FL. So how does it work?
Cremains are mixed with cement, poured into a mold, and carefully placed on the ocean floor by a diver. A plaque (similar to a headstone) is attached to each object. Not just a creepy underwater cemetery, the man-made reef also serves as a home for various marine animals.

(#1) The Mariana Trench Is the Deepest Point on Earth and We Have No Idea What All Is Down There
The Mariana Trench contains the deepest known point on our planet. Only three people have been to the bottom of Mariana Trench’s deepest point, the Challenger Deep, which is 6.83 miles (10.99 kilometers) deep.
It's pitch black down there, the water pressure is enough to kill you, and oh yeah, there are hydrothermal vents that blow out water hot enough to melt the flesh from your body, so it's kind of hard to blame explorers for being trepidatious.

(#2) The Terrifyingly Deep Great Blue Hole
You don’t even have to dive into this dark blue circle off the coast of Belize City to experience its creepiness. The color of this natural phenomenon comes from its depth: at 407 feet (124 m) deep, the hole is a one-of-a-kind diving attraction with unique organisms, including some species of sharks like nurse sharks and bull sharks.
Scientists even think the hole has something to tell us about the disappearance of the Maya civilization.

(#5) The Devil’s Sea Is the Bermuda Triangle’s Twin
The Devil’s Sea is called the Bermuda Triangle of the Pacific, and it's not difficult to understand why: this area off the coast of Tokyo is also known for strange disappearances and shipwrecks, including the MV Derbyshire, the biggest ship ever lost at sea. It was twice the size of the Titanic.
The ancient Chinese believed that there was a huge dragon that lived under the sea, pulling down ships and planes and munching them for its sinister feasts. Some people have reported seeing ghost ships sailing in the area.

(#6) The Ghostly Wreck of the Titanic
Found 73 years after it sank in 1912, the wreck of the RMS Titanic paints a chilling picture of the aftermath of history’s most famous sea tragedy. That’s where more than 1,500 people perished, many of them buried underwater along with the enormous ship.
Since the wreckage was found, many efforts have been initiated to pull it from the bottom of the ocean. Unfortunately, none of the missions have succeeded.

About This Tool
More than 70% area of our beautiful planet is bodies of water, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. Although not more than 10% of the ocean has been explored, even so, limited research has proved that there are some creepy places in the ocean. Diving into these weird underwater worlds feels like entering a science fiction world or even a horror movie. These places where people need to face terror, danger, and even death.
Such as the Mariana Trench is the deepest known place on Earth. It is pitch black, the water pressure is deadly enough, and there are hydrothermal vents, so no one can detect what is there. You could find random 12 creepiest places in the oceans with the random tool.
