I think the biggest problem this story has is the pacing. This story easily could be double the length. More description would be nice too.

Also, the characters make no sense. One of them literally laughs at something they think is just a legend... and then they go check it out? That's like me saying, "I think the Fountain of Youth is a myth, so I'm gonna go looking for the place!" If I actually believed that, then I'd basically be saying I'd waste my time trying to find it. This was the most notable lack of logic.

There's also the fact they got on a boat randomly. It's not only the fact that the place is rather eerie that's the problem. In fact, that's the least problemsome thing. The thing that concerns me is that even if they don't believe in any of this stuff, that could be stealing.

Oh yeah, and the fact you had to have a character point out how "original" it was to tell scary stories really tells you what a bad idea it was to implement one.

This plot is amongst some of the most cliched plots I've seen here for a while. People tell Scary stories - they talk about a certain legend - they search for said legend - they discover said legend - something bad happens to them.
