Book edit

This book contains more information about the ship, and 'alledged' paranormal activites! Good read too, especially with the annotations of unknown origin.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.193.87.5 (talkcontribs) 09:44, 23 July 2009

Debunked hoax edit

Estelle Hargraves at skittish library has debunked this 'mystery': http://skittishlibrary.co.uk/the-myth-of-the-ourang-medan-ghost-ship-1940/ . Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnsolvedMysteries/comments/3z5713/pretty_sure_ive_solved_the_mystery_of_the_ourang/?st=iqnpsxc6&sh=fb6e145e

Silvio Scherli has likely fabricated the February 1948 story in The Locomotive, or De locomotief: Samarangsch handels- en advertentie-blad, loosely based on true (and far less mysterious) events in November 1940.

Shouldn't someone put the above into the article? Wikipedia is not about prolonging hoaxes? Sjoerd22 (talk) 15:51, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
