Ghost Caught on Camera at USS Yorktown

[@Ryzen_56X]

If there are ghosts on that ship ... don't be afraid you are surrounded by a bunch of the good old crew members who served proudly defending freedom, they were and still loyal to the navy and their ship, feel proud of them because nothing and none of them in that ship will harm you. It would be amazing to hear all the stories they could tell us, bless them all.

I was a sailor for many years so I want to give you some ship terms. A wall is a bulkhead, the floor is the deck. The ceiling is the overhead, the hall way is the passageway, stairs are ladders, poles are stanchions. The crew sleeping room is the berthing area/ rooms are generally called compartments. Doors are in bulkheads and hatches are in the deck, scuttles are the small round hatches in the bigger deck hatches. The kitchen is the galley, dining room is the mess deck. The bow is the forward end of the ship and the rear of the ship is aft and called the stern. Officers live in staterooms and the wardroom. On a carrier there is the flight deck where the planes take off, below that is the hanger deck. The bridge is on the "island" that sticks up from the flight deck. That is where the ship is steered from. Port side is the left side and starboard side is the right side. If you remember these terms you wont sound like a land lubber as much.

[@hellosweetheart3350]

Awesome! That info just made you sound like the badass you are! Why is the berthing room called something that resembles women having babies?

[@les3449]

@@hellosweetheart3350 thank you! Berthing originally, and still does, mean where a ship is designated to tie up to a pier or dock. In the 1700s the word took on extra meaning as to where the crew sleeps on the ship. I suspect it has no real connection to women giving birth. BUT, "son of a gun" refers to sailors wives and girlfriends sleeping with them while the ship was in port. The crew's hammocks were over their gun stations on some ships and a baby conceived there would earn that title.

My parents don't believe in supernatural stuff so they didn't pay attention, but my younger brother and I continuously felt like people were following us accompanied by static-y feelings and whispers/bangs.

Ships make noises, even when they're dead, tied up in mothballs, etc. And a ship at sea makes thousands of strange noises that you can never identify. And when you're all alone outside the hull, on a moonless night far out at sea, you literally can not see your hand in front of your face. Your mind plays tricks as it is starved for input to tell it which way is up. And then those sounds become whatever it is that you're most afraid of. So I say, find me a ship, especially those museum ships that survived WW II, that doesn't have ghost stories in it's history.

In about 1985 at about 8:00 PM, we saw at about 10:30degrees - South, in front of us a very huge Craft going NNEast. We got off and one of the four of us stopped to run back into the house to escape the craziness in what we observed. We looked at it for about 5-8 minutes (the time it took to clear the sky), in rigid fear, not knowing what it was. We heard a droning sound and all went back in to phone the local radio station. This was in a shocking experience. The Radio Station acknowledged our Call and said, 100s calls were made to the radio station confirming our Call. In the morning it was reported that a meteor shower had fallen which was mistaken for a huge UFO. In the middle beaming down was a huge searchlight beaming down to earth. I estimate it to be about 50 miles long and 15 miles wide... Since then, we've randomly have observed others.

[@GA0907]

When I was a teen back in the early 90s I stayed over night with our church youth group, after dark we snuck out of our bunks and set to explore the the ship. We walked all over the ship all night long and got completely lost. It is still one of the funnest things I’d ever done. And without the thought of ghosts, it was haunting. We I didn’t even set out to hunt for ghosts, and heard things we can not explain. We walked through areas not even knowing where we were, in complete darkness, with low powered flashlights. The size of the ship was mind boggling. One of the creepiest sections , we walked through a door out onto a catwalk hanging out over the water far below , it almost felt like you were falling, we walked up onto the flight deck and standing in the dark looking up at the tower, on that massive deck, just gives you chills.

I whouldn't say the ship is haunted per say, it appears to be more of a residual energy. Residual energy is energy left over from a past event that replays itself over and over again. It's the energy of the servicemen that devoted there duty to the ship, even some of the living servicemen that served on that ship have returned for a vist.

[@erikkunkle9574]

Did you find a Battleship in Myrtle Beach named USS Yorktown? If you didn't, head down to Charleston and look for an aircraft carrier of that name.

I have once went on this ship. It did not seem that suspicious but I got creepy vibes of world war || ghosts.

[@davidkoloc1313]

There isn't a ship in our Navy which sustained war casualties that isn't haunted, or visited by spirits. Such deaths are too tragic and sudden to result in their victims all simply going happily on their way. My father flew Hellcats from the carrier USS Cabot during World War II. He said ghosts of fallen shipmates were a constant and common experience, especially shortly after their deaths. One morning late in the war, twenty-some sailors and Marines perished nearly instantly when a kamikaze slammed into a forward twin 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun tub they were manning or near. Upon which, encounters with spirits aboard ship increased three-fold. After fifteen years sitting empty and silent, Cabot was leased to the Spanish Navy (Armada) in 1967. She was renamed Dédalo and began service anew as a jump-jet and helicopter carrier for that nation. Spanish air crews and sailors reported spirits of American World War II personnel present aboard their ship immediately upon her refit and launching. I'm with the Yorktown's guide, these souls are not to be feared, they should be honored, attended to and recognized for their tremendous sacrifice and love of their countrymen and women. I feel no U.S. warship that saw battle deaths should ever be scrapped or dismantled again. Park them somewhere safe or sink them where they may rest undisturbed but the practice of destroying or dismantling them amounts to the desecration of a sacred site in my estimate. Just the humble opinion of one grateful American.

the ones that haunt all three of the ships in Buffalo (especially The USS The Sullivans) are the five Sullivan Brothers

[@robertyoung3992]

and there was no sailors lost on the USS The Sullivans (1943-1965) donated to Buffalo in 1977

@@robertyoung3992 My dad went to high school in Waterloo/Cedar Falls with a couple of the Sullivan brothers. The civic arena there is named for them now. I got a peek at the newest 'USS The Sullivans' when it was at NS Mayport a few years back when I went out there for Easter mass. What a sharp looking vessel she is.

[@veosins5574]

I stayed over night there and there was rumored that a ghost named charlie would do tricks on you lmao but one thing i remember is that me and my friends where in the same room so me and my other friend told my other group of friends that we were going to the bathroom since the batroom was in the same room as we were and so me and my friend came out and went to the first floor/ entrance of the ship to look at the view. My friends later came looking for us scared saying that they thought we were in there because they never saw us leaving from ghe bathroom and i was SHOOK thinking that a ghost took over my body idk im bad at explaining but in real life this was scary lmaoo
