The REAL Ghost Stories of the RMS Queen Mary

Not a ghost story, but like 15 years ago my grandfather visited the Queen Mary and somehow ended up playing the Piano in the Grand Lobby for a few hours because nobody had the heart to tell him he wasn't supposed to.

I had my own strange experience on the Queen Mary when I was a kid. Can't remember exactly which trip this was, but it was in the mid to late '80's when she was still at Long Beach. The Spuce Goose was still there too. I was still in elementary school. We were down near the engines with a tour group. I was checking out some cool piece of machinery and didn't notice the group had left until they were too far away to find. (Note: I was a quiet kid and my parents were carrying my two younger sisters who vocally didn't care to be there, so I don't fault them). After wandering for a bit I ran into a girl, about my age, wearing an old-fashioned dress. Her clothes didn't strike me as too odd, as my sisters would wear similar clothes for fancy parties. She asked if I was lost too, to which I said I was. She said she knew the ship well and together we'd find the group. She took me by the hand and we walked for some time, going up at least one deck, maybe two, I think we were in third-class berths. We turned a corner and I saw one of my uncles down the corridor just about to turn the corner. I told the girl that was my uncle and we'd caught up, but when I turned to her she wasn't there. I ran to catch up, but didn't have a chance to talk to the guide for a bit. Finally I told him about the little girl and described her, as I thought she was still missing. He told me not to worry about her, that she lives here [on the ship], and he was glad she helped me rejoin the tour.

his story about "in a moment, im back in 1963...." i have had that type of experience many times. one time was so bad, that my friends took me out side to sit down. we had walked into a toy and kite shop. building was over 120 years old at the time. I was looking around, not really to concerned about any thing and then with in 1/4 of a second every thing bleached from the dark store filled with colors to a bright bright mint green. got that feeling of walking out of a movie theater on a bright sunny day. so now Im standing in the middle of a 1950's ice cream parlor. Looked like a Norman Rockwell painting come to life. little boys in the cuffed up jeans an all. No one paid attention to me. saw it for what felt like 2-3 min. then i felt a hand on m y shoulder. it was my friend asking if i was ok. he said I had just gone pale and glazed over. they took me out in to the bright warm day and i sat on a bench.

I was on the Queen Mary in the 90's. I saw a very tall, thin man standing in the back of the elevator my then boyfriend and i boarded. I could feel his presence (like when you feel someone staring hard at u only to look up and catch their glare). So I look back to greet the man. He was gone. So I asked my bf "Hey! Where did the man go?" As i pressed my hands against the wall's big square tiles on the elevator. *i remember that detail well. He was dressed in a suit, standing straight up looking straight ahead as we boarded. Anyway, my bf said there was no man. I argued that there was and what he was wearing. He was thin and very tall and caucasian) The doors open and he said I was crazy. So I didnt give it any thought until many years later. I told the story to a friend who was watching a documentary. She told me that "ghost" was mentioned. Turned out to be a grieving father who committed suicide. *The End*

I have an absolutely similar experience with a bell hop who I believed to be a staff member in period dress who chatted with me for a good 5 minutes in the hallway on deck A. As I turned to unlock my door to place my luggage in and turn back to talk to him he had literally disappeared. I ran to try to find him and he was nowhere to be found. I later spoke with staff and they knew all about him and said this was something others had reported. It was an absolutely amazing encounter because he looked as real as any living person.

[@merky6004]

From my sister about the time we were kids in the 70s at the Queen Mary. “You were circa 2nd grade, and still very much in the early stages of learning how to read. We were standing shoulder to shoulder with our hands on the outside railing of the Queen Mary's outside deck looking out toward the ocean. We'd left mom and dad out of sight and only relatively nearby to run over to see more of the ocean view. We stopped at a nice open, and quiet spot; no one was close by to where we stood viewing the ocean harbor. In the near distance was an airplane towing a banner advertising an upcoming beach concert. You stood there and were trying to sound out loud the words on the banner and going v-e-r-y slowly as a beginning reader. After a short time of you struggling to read the banner out loud, I heard a woman's voice right behind the two of us. For just half a second, I thought mom had come up behind us, but then realized the voice wasn't mom's. But this friendly sounding woman was gently sounding out the next syllable whenever you'd stopped reading out loud when you were having trouble. But the woman sounded quite nice and was gently helping you along whenever you came to any hard combination of letters. You followed suit in perfect timing with her instructions. But by the end of the banner's message though, I lost patience and I spoke out loud the very last syllable right at the same moment I was turning around to smile and thank the woman for her help - but was confronted with - "Whoops this can't be!" There was absolutely no one around behind us, not just right behind us where the helpful woman should have been, but no one in that entire section of open deck (i.e. no place for anyone to duck and hide). Too spooky for me and I decided we'd better go back ASAP to where we'd left mom and dad. “

[@merky6004]

Funny thing is I remember her standing next to me before my sister showed up. She was talking to me about what a beautiful ship the QM is. She was quite the fan. I didn’t see her directly. She was dressed old lady style w flower dress and maybe white gloves. Formal. Me being me, I said “yeah it’s neat” or such. I was busy looking at the harbor while leaning on the deck rail. Then my sister showed up.

[@SWSimpson]

I love the 1940s and 1930s fashions. It sounds like great fun to dress up in the era and hang out on the QM. Wish I had been there. One of my stays on the QM, we were upgraded to the Queen Mary Suite. Yes, THE QUEEN MARY SUITE. And, I start calling people, telling them to come. I called my parents, and asked them to guess where I was, and they said, The Queen Mary. And, I said, Yes, but WHERE? They were amazed and excited. We had Erte prints in the entry, and books from the 1930s on the shelves. I asked what kind of wood was covering the walls, and we were told it is Canadian Birds-Eye Maple. We left the ship only one time, and that was to buy some things my out-of-town guest forgot to bring with her when she flew into LAX. And, a friend of mine was at a local bar so we agreed to meet him and another friend there. We convinced them to come to the QM to see our suite (we wouldn't have to take another cab). My friend we met at the bar is terrified of bridges over dark water, but he took a deep breath, and we made it to the QM parking lot. But once we were on the platform that crosses over and into the QM, he was terrified because he would have to walk over dark water. But, we all crossed over and I was going to go back for him, but he ran as fast as he could and didn't stop until he was well into the ship. LOL. We had a wonderful time. I think that was my third time on the QM. Our first night on the QM (before we had guests over on the 2nd night), we were given a private tour of the ship, which included the First Class Swimming Pool, which is closed to the public. I had an experience when walking into the changing rooms. I turned left and walked a few feet, stopped and turned around and then headed in the other direction, passing where I had entered, and then I turned and stepped into a changing booth, turned around, facing outward, and stood there for a few moments until I realized I wasn't breathing. So, I talked myself into taking a giant step forward, which I did. Once outside of that booth, I inhaled audibly and deeply. Our guide asked me what happened, why did I turn around and then walk into this booth? I said that I had no idea, but it was as though I were watching myself do these things. I had no idea why. Then she asked what happened when I stood in that booth, was it a portal? And, I said I didn't know anything about a portal, but I felt pressure on every square inch of my body pressing in, like you would feel in deep water (but I didn't sense that I was in water), and I saw and felt people rushing past me going in both directions and swirling around me - not people, but spirits of people, thousands of them - very fast. When I realized I wasn't breathing, I told myself to step out because it wasn't safe to remain any longer. So, that's when I stepped out. She told me that psychics had said that particular booth was a portal. I told her I am not psychic, but I admit to being intuitive, and I don't know about a portal. All I know is what I could tell her, and the rest was me watching it take place. She gave us directions to go further into the ship, alone, which we did around 3 am. We walked through one room that was pitch black, and all we had were BIC lighters. Once we got to the other side and found a door, we opened it and looked back to see both of our footprints in a thick layer of dust. No one had been in there in decades, it appeared. We were never frightened, and I don't think there are any malevolent vibes or ghosts on the ship. It seems all that are there, for whatever reason, are there first and foremost because they love the ship. The man who was crushed by the water-tight doors, seems to be more of an echo from the past and not something presently occurring - meaning he isn't destined to go on for centuries being crushed by those doors over and over and over again. He isn't in hell. He likely isn't there at all, just an imprint, an echo. If he does come, it would be occasional and not out of sorrow over his own death - he is beyond that and has been at rest since shortly after the accident. It seems he tried to comfort his family after his death but they couldn't see him.

Great way to back up. Great you appreciate other times. I am into 1950's lifestyle it's all rock n roll from top to toe here all the time. When I have gone to do some WW2 crash sites on the Island I played 40's swing on my tablet. My partner Jane was using her phone to record. It also had text of the spoken work. First time she had done an evp session with me and asks "do you feel that" meaning the tingle on your neck you sometimes get when "someone" is around. Next thing she jabs me and points to her phone. Which scrolled the text " hey music boy, play some savoy music" Words we could not here. I had no idea what Savoy music was she looked it up on the tablet and played some...the text started again "Thanks, that was for Wallace". I also heard music from Carisbrooke Castle the one in my video. Music is in your soul, reminds you of certain things, so playing music certainly helps to amp the atmosphere. You did the right thing and got a great reaction. Really funny about freaking those visitors out. Another great channel. Who needs tv with channels like this.

It was about 3 or 4 loud bangs as if someone was slamming it from side to side before it fell. I knew that was a ghost instantly after seeing that it was impossible for the iron to come off of the hook , let alone bang around that violently. After that about 15 minutes later we heard a quick series of knocks on our door. We were expecting another couple to join us and we thought they were here.

Just slaughtered people. My sister and I were taking a short cut back to the visitor’s center, and every step we took, the more uncomfortable we felt. They were watching. They knew we were there, and a doctor and a nurse. We just stopped, and stared at each other. Finally, my sister said, “You’re the one who worked Hospice.” Gee, thanks. I said, very softly, “Yes, she’s a doctor and I am a nurse. We would have helped you all that we could. But the War is long over. Your families and friends, your brothers in arms are waiting on the other side. You’ve left nothing undone, and no one will be upset if you go to them. Call the name of the person you love most, and when they answer, go to them.” The feeling of being watched left, and we walked on to the visitor’s center. You couldn’t pay me to sleep there. Like the Queen Mary, there are people still there who don’t want to go.

[@BeeWhistler]

I visited the Queen Mary a few times while I lived out there. I even stayed a night on board. Never saw a single unexplained thing. But it’s worth a visit anyway and tbh it feels spooky even if you see nothing unusual. You can feel the age, the years of people coming and going, the awareness that in this place people were born and people died and in between they had some of their most intense experiences right in this small space. You may not see an apparition but it still feels as though they’re whispering to you from the very walls. You feel as though you’re walking in their footsteps. You basically leave feeling as though you were surrounded by ghosts the entire time you were on board, but sadly you have no stories to share worth telling. A lot of old places have that feeling but the Queen Mary is one of the most intense.

[@brianalford5754]

The Titanic museum in Vegas has a strange feeling around the artifacts especially seeing the “big piece” it’s like sorrow and dread.

[@AdamantErinyes]

I got to see the exhibit when it was touring and came to Seattle Manu years ago. I agree, there is an intense feeling of melancholy around it.

I'm an Orange County native and my grandfather came back from England after WWII on the Queen Mary. I've been on the Queen Mary several times. I've never had any paranormal experience. Nor at the Whaley House in San Diego. Unfortunately.

I'd like to know how good is the ventilation system and air quality all over the ship. Because hallucinations are real and sometimes air quality is a trigger

@@The_Bogdanator I never went on it, though I lived right by it for a few months. No way I was paying $40 just to walk on the boat across the way. Edit: Oh you meant if I asked him yet. I'll ask him now, he's chilling on my couch. Edit2: Nope.

[@TheBrister]

Love the story at the end about ghost Tom and ghost Emma 😅

[@SAOS451316]

She's a happy old ship that was important to many many thousands of people throughout her long career. None of the hauntings (that weren't made up by Disney) are malicious. Maybe the pool lady was just remembering the fun times she was having. Maybe someone wanted to play a joke with the tour guide and pushed them. Music makes people happy and maybe some echoes of that linger. If the crewman who got crushed haunts the ship he's probably just telling people to be careful. Ghosts may be spooky but from their perspective they're just going about their business. The house I grew up in was very old and had several people who lived there for decades each. Sometimes the stairs would creak sequentially and we'd say "Oh, that's Carlos again. Hi Carlos!" and such for different odd happenings.

[@AndyHappyGuy]

Great video! Very entertaining! 😊👍 I've seen at least _one_ ghost in my lifetime, hurrying across this room I'm in right now, entering through one wall and only a couple of metres away from me and exiting through the opposite wall; Didn't frighten me but did give me a bit of a fright at the time, but it was mostly an exciting experience. Happened a couple of years ago 😀

[@Lisa-uf7wv]

October 2, 1942 Queen Mary was involved in an horrendous accident which claimed nearly 330 lives. She rammed her escort vessel the Curacoa. QM had cut in two the Curaco with the ford and aft ends divided by a 100 m strip of ocean. QM was unable to stop and give assistance due to the amount of Americans on board as a troop carrier to the front lines and U-boats supposedly in the area. I wouldn’t doubt is some of those souls are on the Queen Mary holding a grudge on her not stoping to give aid.

[@onthewitchinghour5597]

Jesus Christ that's so many people...

[@sirboomsalot4902]

Iirc it’s said that people have soldiers and sailors wondering the halls in the bow around where the collision occurred.

[@lenchapman4350]

Collision was the result of the Curacao misjudging the zig zag courses the QM and Curacao were following to avoid U Boat attacks and sailing across QM's bow.. QM would have taken 10-12 miles to turn back and stop which, in any case, it could not do because of the risk of UBoat attack. UBoats were not supposedly in the area - they were patrolling the Atlantic sea routes all the time.

[@MasterTaters]

Part-Time Explorer I would request a short video on the SS Normandie, the french ocean liner that carried the first operational naval radar and capsized and burned during its conversion to a troop ship in 1942. "SS NORMANDIE INCIDENT 1942" I think the ship has a storied history for only lasting 15 years, and held the blue riband several times, I'm sure you can find ways to make it even more interesting! She most directly rivaled and competed with the RMS queen mary of the cunard line.

One of the nicest "tours" I've been on recently, great video, thanks!

[@ng961-b3u]

Idk if what I believe in regard to ghosts, but when I was a kid, we went on the ghost tour through the ship. When we got to one area of the engine room, I remember looking off in the distance on my left hand side and seeing what I assumed was some projection of a pale man with a thin mustache, slicked back hair, wearing a dark beige ‘coffee’ colored suit and pants. He was giving me a menacing Norman Bates type glare, so I casually took a pic of the ‘projection’ and moved on. When we got the pics developed, I looked at that pic and there was no projection, or what seemed like a projection. The pic very clear. Keep in mind, my memory is very bad with little details, so to consistently have that clear of a description after probably 20 years, for me, means I know what I saw. Either the 2004 era projection was so advanced, the projection didn’t show up at all on camera or I saw a ghost.

[@JoeFarrell-e3f]

To see a solid apparition from another era must be amazing. It's the number 1 thing on my bucket list.I have been pushed twice, person with me on one occasion was also pushed. Also had poltergeist experience as a child, only time in my life I was frozen with fear

Back around 2016, my then-girlfriend (now wife) and I were living in Southern California. One night around 9 PM, we decided spur of the moment to drive the hour and a half to Long Beach and see the QM, but not before putting on entirely 1930s outfits. I put on a late ‘30s wool serge 3 piece suit & hat, she put on an early ‘30s black velvet evening gown with all the correct accessories. We had a blast walking around the ship, almost all to ourselves since it was night time. Just before we left, we walked the length of the boat deck on the starboard side. She had put some Ray Noble or Lew Stone dance band music on her phone in her purse, and I was smoking a cigarette. Toward the end, we saw a crew member running a buffing machine on a section of the deck, and just as we got within maybe 8 feet I said, “Evening”. He switched the machine off, glanced back at us for about a second, then turned away almost slumped over the machine looking straight down until long after we passed by. The funny part is that we didn’t realize how terrified he must’ve been in the moment. We wear vintage clothes a lot and were so caught up in the ship that we forgot how we looked. Didn’t see anything paranormal during the visit, but we might’ve contributed to a few sightings.

[@SpencerMusicSchool]

I have had the pleasure of performing many times on the Queen Mary and I have lived in Bluff Park Long Beach for over 20 years. It was amazing knowing I got to play on Gershwin's touring piano. I have also perform with some of the Swing Orchestras for New Years and other festivals. It is so true about the Queen Mary and the ghosts. TRUE STORY. My ex and I spent my birthday on the Queen Mary and splurged for a State Room suite for 3 nights (My birthday is near Valentine's) and for spa package and dinner at Sir Winston's etc. So I wake up one morning and hear the water running in the shower and think my partner is there. I go into the restroom and there is no answer. I open the curtain for about 5 seconds I see what looks like a 1940s Seaman smiling then the apparition vanished. My partner came in nearly 1 minute later and had gone out of the room for just a few minutes to take a call and didn't want to wake me. Later on the next evening we are coming back down the hall very late and saw for second what looked like a Sailor. The creepiest was going around Halloween into the pool area late at night. As a psychic myself I could feel a ll the paranormal activity. It is fascinating. I love the Queen Mary because my Grand Parents sailed on often and We even have family footage of my Grandpa and his siblings on deck and looking out to coming in to New York Harbor circa 1933. I have always felt very connected to the ship and it's history.

[@GasPipeJimmy]

In 1990, prior to my marriage to my ex-wife, we were on the tour in the first class pool area, on the deck of the pool, and I remember commenting on the Art Deco clock and pointed it out to my ex (then just a gf) as we were both interested in Art Deco design, while at the same I said I wonder if they are still heating the pool and bent down to put my hand in the pool to feel the temperature. As y ex and I stood up, we suddenly realized that our entire tour group and guide has disappeared. There were bout 15-20 people in the tour group plus our guide.

I was on the Queen Mary as a kid and was looking in a display case, and saw the reflection of a man behind me, big guy with a beard, right up on me. I wheeled around wondering who snuck up on me and nobody was there. Spun around, looked at the glass, nothing. No explanation.

[@northeastrailwayproductions]

My grandfather saw a woman ghost at the foot of his bed on the ship. He said he rolled over and ignored her but he got cold he said "she layed next to me behind me and in a split second she was gone. ". He said the next morning he checked out and left.

What if you wanted to get a good look at the pool ceiling, but then the ship said _yeetergeist._

[@lenfriendletterpressprinting]

In 1964 when I was 18 years old I worked in the boiler and engine rooms in the Queen Mary, I mainly worked in no. 1 boiler room which housed 3 huge double ended scotch boilers. There were 24 furnaces which we looked after, I could go anywhere in that room but got absolutely terrified when I went anywhere near the rear fires on the Starboard boiler. Years later I learned about cruiser that she cut in half during WW2 and think that was just about where the warship went under.

[@michealdodge642]

So I went to the queen mary haunted hayride a few years ago and on one the maze tours we went to the part of the shop which I assumed is engine and bottom of the shop where the crew worked to make sure the ship ran…anyhow…I’m reading one of the post on the rails and for some reason my house keys fall out of my pants pockets (I was wearing shorts with deep pockets so still don’t understand) so everyone starts to walk off to the next part of the ship so I climbed this ladder that brought me to the bottom of the engine room and when I say it literally felt like a million eyes staring from every where and it was beyond cold…I used my light on my phone and even then it seemed like a very light dust mist was down there and I found my keys on the other side of the ladder where I can down and checked the first time…scary almost..unsettling very…but respect always to the dearly departed

Fun Video!! Thomas, you and Emma look fantastic in your 1930’s attire! So Dashingly Upper Class and British!! I sometimes wished that we all still dressed that way ! I know it’s not as comfortable as the casual way we dress today , but still it is such a classy and elegant look !! I think we are the lesser for it today!?! The story of scaring teenagers was hysterical !! As for the rest , sorry, I’m on team Matthew ! I’ve stayed overnight in the Mary dozens of times. Each time in a different Cabin or Suite. No Ghosts!!🤷‍♂️ Folks, it’s an old ship actually still floating on the water !! Yes , it’s full of creaks bumps, popping and thumps !! Yes the walls, ceilings and floors are paper thin! You can hear the people talking in the neighbouring cabins . You can hear the footsteps of people walking on the deck above you. And the ship continually bumps up against the dock bracing all night , as it was designed to do ! People die everywhere. Meaning EVERY BLANKING PLACE around us should be haunted. But it’s not! Queen Mary deserves better than these childishly “ Click Bait “ games 🙄 Maybe next time, buy a better quality wine and maybe drink a little less ! Then you will not be running around the hotel hallways late at night scaring teenagers ! 😂 Anyway, keep the fantastic videos coming and keep loving the great ocean liners of the past !! Respect Thomas ! MikeW. 👍

Well we don't know if every place is haunted or not, though i don't believe every place is haunted. However even if every place was haunted ghosts have a habit of making themselves known when the time is right. They don't make themselves known all the time. I've visted a few haunted locations on different occasions. I had a few experiences the first time, then the 2nd time nothing. They pick, and choose when to make themselves known. The fact some places show inconsistency in regards to supernatural occourances doesn't make these places clear of supernatural activity. The reason why not every place is haunted however is because most spirits fully cross over to the afterlife. In regards to ghosts they are usually spirits that linger around that haven't fully crossed over to the beyond, and there's many reasons for this, like for example people to have died with unfinished business, or some people who have died with regret about something that leaves their spirit restless, and unwilling to pass into the beyond. Call it heaven or whatever, but not all spirits make it there. No one is attempting to ''click bait'' anything, these are people with credible experiences that you cannot debunk simply with natural occourances. People have had several encounters regarding this ship. I'll have to call you out on your half assed attempt at ''debunking'' these footsteps as simply being other people, or noises from other rooms. There's been many stories of people heading voices in the other rooms that aren't occupied, along with people being touched ''i refer to the video above''. You say ''people die everywhere meaning every blanking place around us should be haunted''. Here's the flip side, if all these noises, apparitions, EVP's and physical touches from these entities are natural events then why do they stand out as oppose to other locations that aren't meant to be haunted? If they're natural events then why do the people having these weird experiences differentiate them from actual natural events? If they where just natural events they'd just blend in with everyday normal events would they not? If they where normal events happening then these events, and experiences would blend into all situations on a daily basis but they don't. If you're skeptical then fine, but please don't be condescending by calling them ''childish'', these are experiences people have encountered, and this will continue to happen. I would say people who are skeptical have a right to be especially not having such experience, but brushing these events aside, and being condescending about them is what gives skeptics a bad name. A lack of taking anything outwith your realm of understanding seriously is naivety. We don't know, or cannot begin to understand what is beyond the scientific or physical realm. Science can only understand what functions in the natural realm. What functions beyond it is a mystery.

That pool area, they filmed wet foot prints coming out the pool (it was empty at that time) and even analyzed the water left behind by these prints, and it was sea water. They photographed some flaming entity running through toilet stalls in the engineering sections etc. Well worth a watch if your interested in supernatural topics and this ship.
