pazandak63 Posted January 16, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2006 OK...I was watching this shop about haunted hotels...anyone ever seen or heard of a haunted cruise ship? Just curious... Karyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VentureMan_2000 Posted January 16, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Absolutely... the Queen Mary, now docked in Long Beach, California. Suppose to be haunted big-time. They even have "Haunted" tours. The ship is no longer in service, but is now a maritime museum/Hotel with cabins converted into hotel rooms that you can spend the night in... if you dare...:eek: It is a popular Pre-cruise Hotel that folks stay in before cruising out of long beach. It's about 200 feet from the other cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton Posted January 16, 2006 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2006 While visiting DD in L.A., we had lunch one day on the Queen Mary, and then took a tour. It was most interesting, and I kept hoping for a ghost to appear - alas, none of them cooperated. They must've been sleeping in.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depotma Posted January 16, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2006 We just returned from the Triumph on Jan 14. We were in suite 9205. All day and night our lights would go on and off. We would be in the middle of the room and all of a sudden the lights would go on bright, then ten minutes later the room would be dark. In the middle of the night, the lights would go on. Then one night, the toilet wouldn't flush. My daughter and I both tried it. About three in the morning, the toilet flushed about 6 times by itself. We would laugh and say we had a ghost. We had a party in the room, about 22 people, and they all saw the lights and were laughing about it. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kujobie Posted January 16, 2006 #10 Share Posted January 16, 2006 One time, I was on lido deck, and I had a full drink in front of me. Moments later, the cup was empty. It was spooky. Then later on, at the show, a cold chill came over me. I had to put on a sweater. Then, later still, I was in the casino, and much of my money mysteriously vanished. Another night, I have no reccollection of what happenned between 10pm and 2am. All I know is I woke up the next day with a really bad headache.

NeptunesGoddess Posted January 17, 2006 #14 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I have been to the Queen Mary several times for events and relative's wedding receptions 'n such (beautiful place to have a reception btw). Anyway, on one of our stays, for a company Christmas party, we went back to our rooms and decided to go on a "ghost hunt" at 2 am in the morning. We had sooo much fun...and you know they HAD to see us on the security video cameras...but they just let us explore...I guess as long as we weren't bothering people. We went into the bow..down to the "engine" room. It was fun. We even went into the old swimming pool area which was really creepy late at night. Of course, our "hunt" came up empty..except for the few times some guys hid and scared the crap out of the rest of us. Every year at Halloween, they do a big Halloween haunted "Ship" party.

Navaleye Posted January 17, 2006 #16 Share Posted January 17, 2006 This should answer your questions and is a true to life (or death?) example. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=247827 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeptunesGoddess Posted January 17, 2006 #17 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Wow Navaleye..that thread, and your experience, has me spooked. It is late, I can't sleep, and my hubby is out of town. Not a good time to read something like that. I found it fascinating though, and I would love to hear about her spirit and the things she confirmed to you via yes and no questions. Did she convey to you that she was sad you were leaving? She seemed to enjoy your company, so I wondered if she knew you were leaving and if she conveyed any sadness over it.

Navaleye Posted January 17, 2006 #18 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Yes, she knew where she was, she knew I was a passenger and would be leaving the ship. I asked her if she would like me to come back and got a definate yes. Happy to answer any questions I can, but can we do it on the original thread? http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=247827 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakieemma Posted January 17, 2006 #19 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Ghosts ARE real.......real silly. Many people are gullible and believe in supernatural things. I guess if thats what "floats your boat", so be it. It is a multi-billion dollar industry...so someone is laughing all the way to the bank. I really like the "ghost hunters" and weirdos like John Edwards. They seem to be able to talk to the dead, but never can get the lottery numbers....hmmmmmm ! silly !!!

Navaleye Posted January 17, 2006 #21 Share Posted January 17, 2006 jakieemma, Like I said on the other thread, I shared your rather blinkered views on the subject until that particular trip and the 4 day experience I had. Every word I have said actually happened, I'll leave it to you decide if you want to believe it or not. My only advice is to have an open mind. My experience was amazing. I hope you get to experience something similar one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamboatin Posted January 17, 2006 #22 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The Delta Queen Paddlewheel Steam Boat has had several hauntings by the same ghost over the years. Once the ghost awoke a sleeping crewmember and led him to a leak that once repaired prevented the steamboat from sinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakieemma Posted January 17, 2006 #23 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Well, everyone believes what they feel is true. I don't think it's right to call other's beliefs silly. I was being nice when I said "silly"... People can believe whatever they want..like I said earlier in the thread...P.T. Barnum said it perfectly..." There's a sucker born every minute ".
