The Middle Of Nowhere: Lost Souls Island
This island is about 10 miles long by 3 miles wide and nobody ever finds it on purpose. When they do find it, they are usually glad to see it and come ashore for food and water. If they only stay a couple of hours, everything goes well. If they stay over night, the shit hits the fan.
This is usually signaled by many of their crew turning up near dead. A few never turn up. Then there is the problem of the screams in the night, the glowing shapes moving through the woods and the attacks by giant tentacles that pop up out of the water. Most ships leave pretty quickly after that.
The truth about the island is pretty simple: There are no ghosts or monsters, just some people who were castaway here over the centuries and decided they liked it here. They do all of the scary stuff (including the tentacles, which are made mostly of rubber) to scare off bad guys or snoops. They also liberate a few crewmen who might be slaves, steal some supplies and free any prisoners (on the promise that they only take over the ship once it has sailed out of sight of the island.
So far, the system has worked well.
