Spooks at sea? Doesn’t sound very pleasant to me! But don’t worry I will not be scaring you off the Queen Mary 2 anytime soon. Now the Queen Mary, that’s a completely different story! The original Queen Mary is now permanently docked in long beach California, and is used as a floating museum, so be warned if you decide to read on, that the following paragraphs may put you off Cunard all together................
As I approached this subject I found out that more and more stories were coming to light, some of which I will share with you, but please if you have any experiences or have any stories please share them on my blog below. One story is said to concern the spirit of John Pedder. John was a 17-year-old crewman who was unfortunately crushed to death by a watertight door in 1966 during a routine drill. It is said unexplained knocking has been heard around this door, and a tour guide, who worked on the ship had seen a dark figure as she was leaving the area where Pedder had been killed. She even saw his face and recognized that it was Pedder from his photographs. The eerie cry of an infant in the third-class children's playroom, is said to be heard, echoing down the corridors, And an apparition of a young woman in an evening gown dancing alone in the Queen's Salon, is said to have been seen on more than one occasion.
Perhaps most disturbing is that, ghostly voices and laughter have been heard by the ship's swimming pool. One employee saw the wet footprints of a child appearing on the pool deck... with no one there. Over the years fifty people reportedly had died onboard, and it is said some still remain. So I suppose when booking your 2010 cruise it may be worthwhile considering picking a newer ship and steering clear of all older ships! but that is only if you believe in that kind of thing I suppose!
