Freak waves up to 30 metres high (100 feet) that rise up from calm seas to destroy ships do exist, researchers argue.
For centuries sailors have blamed mysterious surges of water for unexplainable sinkings but the claims have always attracted plenty of scepticism.
However, there is now growing evidence, including satellite imagery, which suggests the massive waves may be more than just maritime myth.
Freak waves are not the same as tidal waves, or tsunamis, and they are not caused by earthquakes or landslides.
They are single, massive walls of water that rise up from apparently calm seas. Several theories compete to explain them.
Some scientists think that waves and winds heading straight into powerful ocean currents may cause a surge of water to rise up out of the deep.
Others believe that some waves can become unstable and start to suck in energy from nearby waves, growing quickly and to huge heights.
