The Queen Mary

This retired ocean liner, now a floating hotel, is considered one of the most haunted places in America.

A Ship of Death

During her voyages, the Queen Mary recorded at least 49 deaths:

  • A sailor crushed by a watertight door (#13)
  • Soldiers who died in WWII convoy duty
  • Passengers who fell overboard
  • Crew members in engine room accidents

Stateroom B340

This cabin was sealed for decades due to extreme paranormal activity:

  • Guests would flee in terror
  • Faucets turned on by themselves
  • Bedcovers pulled off
  • A figure stood in the corner
  • Knocking and scratching from within the walls

The room was reopened in 2018 for “the bravest guests.”

The First-Class Swimming Pool

Now empty, it remains a paranormal hotspot:

  • The Woman in White: A drowning victim seen in 1930s swimwear
  • Children’s footprints appear on the pool deck
  • Splashing sounds from the empty pool
  • Women in vintage bathing suits spotted in changing rooms

Door 13

The watertight door crushed 18-year-old John Pedder during a drill:

  • His ghost is seen near the door
  • Knocking sounds from the other side
  • A young man in overalls walking the corridor
  • The feeling of being followed

The Engine Room

The Half Man

A spirit torso dragging itself across the floor—possibly a crew member cut in half by machinery.

Mysterious Voices

  • Commands being shouted
  • Conversations between workers
  • Equipment sounds when nothing is running

The Queen’s Salon

  • Elegant 1930s music plays with no source
  • Couples dancing when the room is empty
  • The smell of cigarettes and perfume

The Queen Mary offers overnight stays and ghost tours. Paranormal investigators consider it a must-visit location.
