Do the ghosts from the Titanic still haunt this earth?  Pat and Rebecca explore the tragic sinking of the grand ship and ghost stories that surround it. David Vox Mullen from the paranormal podcast EPH612 joins to tell the story of his own ancestor Rev. John Harper who died on the Titanic. There are countless ghost stories of those who were lost in this tragedy, but are they real?

What is the history of the Titanic? When was it build, and why was it built? How many people could it hold and how many were actually on it? How many lost their lives in the sinking? Why did the lookout not have binoculars? Where have people claimed to experience paranormal activity from the ship? What happens at the site of the sinking to ships that pass? Which souls haunt the Titanic Exhibit at the Luxor Hotel and Casino? What has happened at the exhibit? Does Captain Edward John Smith haunt the earth? Are there souls from the tragedy unable to move on?

Pat explores the history of the sinking of the Titanic. He gives #PatFacts about the magnificent ship and what happened to cause this tragedy. Also listen to an interview with previous guest David Vox Mullen on his ancestor, Reverend Harper, who spent his last moments on ship praying with fellow doomed passengers.  

Rebecca and Pat debate if the paranormal stories about the Titanic are true. Do spirits still haunt the sea where the ship sank? Do they haunt the objects from the tragedy?
