Content note: This episode discusses a historical plane crash and may not be suitable for nervous flyers.

It’s Halloween week, and The Red Eye is taking you on the most chilling flight in aviation history. 

In “Ghosts of Flight 401,” we revisit the tragic crash of Eastern Air Lines Flight 401, and the spine-tingling legend that followed. After the L-1011 went down in the Florida Everglades in 1972, something strange began happening in the skies. Flight attendants, pilots, and passengers all reported the same thing: ghostly crew members appearing on other aircraft built with parts salvaged from the wreck.

From haunted galleys and vanishing pilots to eerie warnings that saved lives, this is the true story that has become one of aviation’s most famous ghost tales. Whether you’re a flight attendant, frequent flyer, or just love a good paranormal mystery, this episode will keep you on the edge of your jumpseat.

Turn up your volume, dim the cabin lights, and join us for a Halloween special you won’t forget... if you dare to listen.
