Nah, creepy would be a recorded case of a US submarine captain using the optical mirage phenomena known as "the flying dutchman" to chase down and sink a japanese convoy. (located some 1400 nautical miles out bearing 105 degrees)

[i]They literally chased and sunk the flying dutchman with a torpedo on a night-time surface-run.[/i]

USS Barb, 8th war patrol June 11th, 1944.

Oh, and banned for being afraid of ghosts in a church "somewhere in Europe".
