Ghost ship

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Ghost ships were a controversial belief (or even a phenomenon) in some areas of the galaxy.

Ghost ships were old starships that were somehow destroyed or lost mysteriously; their fate would become an object of legend and awe; for some reason, they would be believed to visit the spaces they were lost in again and again, along with the spirits of their dead pilots.

Examples included the long-lost, sometimes-sighted Permondiri Explorer, the fabled Queen of Ranroon or Admiral Fa'rey's ship which haunted the Daragon Trail.

The massacre at the Battle of Dreighton originated the legend about the Dreighton Triangle, ever after considered haunted. This legend was an ideal background for the Galactic Empire to construct their Phantom TIEs, whose mysterious appearances would fertilize the legend.

It is unknown how many of these legends were purely superstition or actual phenomena, and whether they were in any way related to the Force, such as Force ghosts.
