It was a programming glitch
Did not know this! Where was this said?
The shrouded ghost, Box of Wonderous Secrets and Treacherous Plunder DO exist and you could still chance upon seeing one.
Treacherous Plunder in particular. It is easier to find then the Box or Ghost, and IS something you could actually spend a day working on farming and fishing up. One way to get them is to fish for pondies. It seems to catch on the hook more frequently when pondie fishing then with other fish. Good places to try to fish them up are also the smaller ponds that are -just- big enough to spawn a pondie. It is best if done with others so there is a higher chance and frequency of fishing them up.
As for the ghost, you could still find it. I know a few who have chanced upon them (once while in the waters headed towards the shores of gold!)... It kind of feeds to the 'tall fish tales' and of sailors saying they saw some rare fish and people not believing them. It's amusing for a sailing game.
The Box of Secrets can be tough to find but several have found one and posted images of it. It isn't something that one can just go hunting for, but they exist and so long as you are playing you could still find one. Just have to hope to chance upon it on a new server before someone else does. Thankfully there is no achievement attached to it either, so the reward is simply having been able to stumble upon one.
