An abandoned North Korean ship filled with rotting corpses of people who may have fled the country's oppressive regime has washed ashore in Japan.

The rundown vessel is just one of a number of mysterious boats which have made their way across the Sea of Japan and ran a ground on the coast in recent years.

An investigation has now been launched into the most recent eerie discovery after yet another boat was found to be carrying severely decayed bodies.

A tattered North Korean flag adorns the ship, with the "Korean People's Army" written across across the hull.

Wow, things are not so rosy north of the 38th parallel.  I never knew.
