Ghosts inhabit not only ancient castles and other historical sites, they are also perfectly accustomed to ships. Many have heard of Queen Mary, a transatlantic liner teeming with paranormal activity. It is worth noting that tour operators profit from ghosts well, arranging desperate travelers to meet them on cruises. Here are 15 frightening ghost stories on cruise ships.
15. Spirit of Dana
The 2nd class pool and cargo bays on Queen Mary are teeming with paranormal activity. Many claim to feel the presence of someone invisible there. This is where the spirit of Dana dwells. This girl was shot and killed on the ship along with her father. Eyewitnesses say that she often plays in the cargo hold and calls out to her mother.
14. Ghosts in the cinema
On the Thomson Celebration cruise ship, a mother and daughter decided to go to the cinema. During the session, three more people entered, walked around the hall, and then sat down with the women. The daughter was seized with anxiety, she invited her mother to leave the hall, and when they got up, the three spectators disappeared.

13. Lady in White
In the First Class cabin of the Queen Mary, passengers repeatedly saw the ghost of a woman in a white dress dancing in silence. Sometimes she is seen at the piano. One of the eyewitnesses even approached the Lady in White, but she immediately disappeared.
12. Stranger in the closet
In 2005, father and son took a cruise on the Thomson Destiny. At 6 in the morning, the man woke up from the noise in the cabin - a stranger was rummaging in his closet. The passenger started yelling at the robber, who dived into the closet. The man ran after him, but there was no one in the closet. At the same moment his son woke up for a moment and, as if possessed, shouted: "You don't care about people on this ship!"
11. Save and save
In April, the couple embarked on a trip on the Carnival Conquest cruise ship. But their rest was prevented by a supernatural incident in the cabin: as soon as they wanted to make love, the door opened and closed, and then the safe opened by itself. In the dark, the passengers saw a figure that looked like a steward, his hand in the safe, and his gaze was fixed on the couple. The girl immediately turned on the light, and the shadow disappeared. The lovers prayed, and the ghosts did not bother them anymore. However, other passengers told similar stories.
10. Door number 13
During a tour of Queen Mary, the woman saw the ghost of 18-year-old John Pedder, who died in 1966. During the drill, he closed the watertight doors, and was crushed to death by door number 13. It was at this door that the tourist saw the spirit and the print of his hand.
9. Time to go
On the final day of her trip to Brilliance of the Seas, the woman woke up at 6 a.m. to find her 15-year-old daughter standing in front of her, and a second later the teenager was already in her bed. The sleepy mother did not have time to get scared and fell asleep again. A little later, they woke up, began to pack, and the TV turned on without anyone's help. Then they smelled rot. At the same time, the liner workers could not open the storeroom in any way, and even complained that something strange was happening.
8. Touch
Another case at the Carnival Conquest. A married couple stayed in cabin 2465. The wife was unwell, so the man went to dinner alone. In his absence, someone touched the woman, and she woke up. As the medium later said, it was the spirit of an aunt who died in cabin 2463 two years ago, and she just wanted to comfort her niece.
7. Poison
William Eric Stark, one of the captains of Queen Mary, accidentally poisoned himself after drinking a tetrachloride cleanser instead of gin. His spirit now lives next to the captain's cabin, eyewitnesses say that they heard sounds like someone was suffocating, but no one was nearby.
6. Spooky compliment
In cabin 6412 at the Carnival Conquest, the couple changed for dinner. The woman looked at herself in the mirror, and then someone told her that she looked great, but at that very moment her husband was on the balcony. She continued to dress up and heard the compliment again. Coincidentally, an hour before, one of the passengers fell overboard and drowned.
5. Best friends forever
Jacqueline Thorin and Sarah are girls who drowned in a 2nd grade pool in the 1940s on Queen Mary. Jackie's ghost loves to play with tourists, she laughs, sings and even answers questions. Sarah is not that friendly and can even lightly hit visitors.
4. Friends
Another couple of friends live on the Queen Mary. One ghost is well dressed, wears a top hat, likes to flirt and often sits in a bar, the second has a less attractive appearance: rotten teeth, yellow eyes, a yellow suit and a felt hat, he loves to scare passers-by in the foyer.
3. Blonde
The Dawn cruise ship is another haunted haven. Many passengers see the ghost of the blonde on board. Perhaps this is Mindy Jordan, who died in a fall on a ship in 2008. Sometimes her spirit enters the cabins and sits on the bed, frightening the rest to death.
2.300
On October 2, 1942, Queen Mary collided with the British air defense cruiser Curacoa. As a result of the accident, the cruiser sank within 6 minutes. Most of the team members (338 people) were killed. Passengers of Queen Mary have repeatedly said that at night they heard the screams of drowning people, while no one was overboard.
1. Cabin 340
Hardly anyone dares to spend the night in cabin 340 on Queen Mary. A brutal murder was committed within its walls, after which frightening phenomena began to occur. The last passenger to rent the damned cabin heard someone tell him "get out", immediately after that the light began to blink, then the tap turned on, and finally someone tore the blanket off the man. After this incident, the cabin was closed and now it is forbidden to book it.
