If there’s one destination in California that’s infamous for its paranormal activity, it’s the Queen Mary. Deemed one of the Top 10 Most Haunted Places by Time Magazine and largely considered to be the most haunted ship in the U.S., this landmark has attracted both history buffs and ghost hunters alike for decades. If you’re curious — and brave enough — to venture on board this ghostly ship, you can join Ghost Hunts USA for an unforgettable overnight ghost tour. Plus, there’s even an option to book a room aboard the ship after your tour…should you dare. You’ll experience firsthand why the Queen Mary has become such a hotbed of ghostly activity on this thrilling adventure.
The Queen Mary is an iconic vessel with a rich history dating back to 1936, when the ship made its maiden voyage as a transatlantic luxury liner from Southampton, England.
Retiring from sea life in 1967, the Queen Mary still operates as an event venue and hotel in Long Beach, yet it's also become one of the most paranormal locations in the country.
Paranormal investigators believe the vessel is haunted in part because of the 49 recorded deaths that took place unexpectedly. Some 150 spirits still roam the ship, causing all sorts of paranormal mayhem.
Book a 6-hour guided ghost tour of the Queen Mary, and you'll get a unique opportunity to seek out these spirits in some of the ship's most notoriously haunted spots.
You'll be on the lookout for unsettling disturbances such as a drastic change in temperature, errant screams, lights flickering, the sound of children crying, and slamming doors, all of which have been reported by unsuspecting guests.
After enjoying this wonderfully terrifying overnight ghost hunt, you can even spend the night in one of the rooms aboard the vessel. Be warned, though, the rooms are also haunted!
So whether you’re curious to experience this luxury liner from the 1930s or are determined to encounter something ghostly, you’ll relish your experience on an authentic ghost tour of the famous Queen Mary.
