Before the ghost tours and the paranormal reports, the RMS Queen Mary had already lived through a history so dramatic, that it's no wonder she's said to be haunted.
From a luxury ocean liner, to a WW2 troopship, this legendary ship accidentally sank a Royal Navy cruiser, survived a 92-foot rogue wave, and hosted world leaders, celebrities, and soldiers before her retirement to Long Beach, California.
If you only know of the ghost stories about the Queen Mary, you've only heard half the story!
