Location: Long Beach, CA
The Report: During the month of October, the Long Beach Harbor goes dark and the Queen is heretoforth known as "Scary Mary." Climb aboard and plumb the depths of your own fear... if you dare. In the 1930s, the RMS Queen Mary was the ultimate luxury liner. When World War II broke out, the Queen Mary was painted grey and re-dubbed the "Grey Ghost" to ferry soldiers to the frontlines. Today, you can find her docked off the port of Long Beach, CA, where she now serves as a floating hotel. But before you book, beware: the ship's 1,001 trans-Atlantic crossings of yore were accompanied by 49 recorded deaths. Today, as many as 150 different spirits may still call the Queen Mary home. Some notable residents include a crew member who was crushed to death by a watertight door and a woman dressed in all-white who dances by herself in one of the luxury suites. Watch out for drastic temperature changes, slamming doors, knocking, screams, lights flickering — all aboard a ship that's earned its reputation as one of the most haunted structures in America. Now includes a 3-D interactive paintball event and an Absinthe bar. Click here for ticket prices and a full schedule of events.
