I am telling you that this is a trick do not fall for this dump! I repeat this is a trick please do not follow this website ever again.
According to the episode, "Your Shoe's Untied", he last wore shoes over 5000 years ago (it could be assumed from this statement that he has been a ghost for over 5000 years, and has won the Fancy Knotting contest for the past 3000 years. The knots he knows include: The Pretzel Knot, Double Diamond Knot, Square Knot, The Constrictor, Gut Knot, Pillow Knot, Butterfly Knot, Monkey Chain, Monkey's Fist, The Monkey and the Loop Knot, a.k.a. Poop Loop. However, he is unable to tie a simple shoe knot, due to him not wearing shoes. In addition, he cannot eat without his dining sock as mentioned in "Shanghaied." In "Scaredy Pants", he expresses a dislike for the tradition in which others dress up as him for Halloween and claims that it "turns the Flying Dutchman name into a laughing stock".
The Flying Dutchman once lost his "scare", in the episode "Ghost Host". He got so carried away, that he stopped scaring for months. He became a couch potato in SpongeBob's house until finally SpongeBob helped him be scary again. In the same episode, it was shown that he had some sort of wedding ring. In "Curse of Bikini Bottom", the Flying Dutchman was seen with no beard. It was because of SpongeBob and Patrick so he turned them into ghosts.
The Flying Dutchman is the keeper of and escorts people to Davy Jones' Locker, which is the underwater equivalent of Hell, and is an actual locker. It is full of sweaty socks, because "he (Davy Jones) works out a lot." Mr. Krabs was almost stuffed within the locker in "Born Again Krabs". In "SpongeBob vs. The Big One", "Davy Jones" is jokingly shown to be Davy Jones, the singer of the real-life band The Monkees.
