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.

What do people think?
