Sea-Ghost

Sea-Ghosts were creatures that hunted sailors who sailed over Sea of Ghosts, waters between Atmora and Tamriel.

Some may consider them just a term for deaths in sea, for causes may have been many. However, book Yngol And The Sea-Ghosts suggested that sea-ghosts were real creatures.

It is said that Ysgramor hunted them down and burned their bodies in honor of his son, Yngol, who had fallen by hands of sea-ghosts. This suggests also suggests that sea-ghosts were not actual ghosts and had physical bodies.
