Man sees towering masts and sails of a ‘ghost ship’ sailing on lake

The tall, eerie spectre of a ‘ghost ship’ was sighted on Lake Superior in Michigan - one of the huge Great Lakes between America and Canada.

Spotter Jason Asselin claims that the eerie ship is too tall to be any real vessel.

Assselin posted the footage to YouTube, asking viewers, ‘The Ghost Ship on Lake Superior? Some say it looks like Jesus walking on water with his staff.. What do you think it is?’

‘Saturday evening far off coast from Marquette, Michigan appeared this mysterious ship that had to be gigantic!

‘Almost as if a ghost ship was showing itself to the world. Even if it was a ship, what could be that tall in these choppy waves?’

Local media said that there are more than 6,000 shipwrecks in the Great Lakes - but other commenters suggested that the strange vision might actually be the Granite Island Lighthouse.
