From luxury liner to troop ship

Launched in 1936, the Queen Mary crossed the Atlantic in grand style, then served as a WWII troop transport nicknamed the "Grey Ghost." In 1942 she accidentally sliced through an escort ship, killing hundreds.

The hauntings

Permanently docked in Long Beach as a hotel, the ship is famous for its phantoms: a "Lady in White" in the salon, children's voices near the pool, and the notorious Door 13 in the engine room, where a crewman was crushed.

Visit

Stay overnight or take one of the ship's regular paranormal and history tours.
