The TRUTH Behind The Queen Mary’s Ghost Stories


Listen Later

The Queen Mary is believed by some to be haunted by up to 600 ghosts…


And while we have historical records for some, other backstories just don’t quite add up.


But from ghostly little girls playing hide and seek, to phantom crew members still doing their jobs long after their shift should have ended, there really does seem to be something paranormal happening on board the Queen Mary.
