Actually looking at the [[Ghost Ship]] trope, it seems that there are a lot of examples that are about things that are not literally ghosts, but are demons, the sci-fi equivalent of ghosts, or something else that is not strictly speaking a ghost but is supernatural and/or an undead version of the crew. Seldom do people encounter an abandoned ship and find only mundane threats. |

So now I'm tempted to rewrite the definition to make it supernatural and to have a mundanely abandoned ship not be a trope at all. |
