Thank you all for an incredible year of writing (and previous years at @vssghosttales.bsky.social and #vssHauntedHouse).

We're having a year off, but already have a theme for 2026. In the meantime, stay safe out there everyone.

Much love,

The (G)Hosts of #vssGhostShip

Please tag #vssGhostShip.

Our forty-eighth #prompt is #charred. (#48) 🖤🏴‍☠️👻

An inhuman howl cuts through the mist - they're still chasing us! It feels like we might never be #safe again... do we abandon the hope for treasure and just get out of here?

Please tag #vssGhostShip.

Our forty-sixth #prompt is #safe. (#46) 🖤🏴‍☠️👻

There's definitely unrest in the crew and something's wrong. Old Man McKinnon's making the sign to ward off the #evil_eye. Somehow, I don't think that'll help...

Our forty-fifth #prompt is #evil_eye. (#45) 🖤🏴‍☠️👻

The men are whispering, they've had enough of undead mariners! Sounds like there might be a #mutiny if we don't find the gold soon...
