This grand cruise ship hasn’t sailed since the 1960s, and the same can be said for the many spirits that supposedly haunt the oceanliner. Guests claim to hear voices and rattling chains during overnight stays. The Queen Mary offers regular daytime ghost tours, but the real paranormal activity comes alive at night with everything from a twilight historical tour to a full-blown ghost hunt in the bowels of the ship.
Daytime tours daily, on the half-hour 11:30am–6:30pm; $35. Prices vary for attractions at night.
Los Angeles is full of local haunts—and we’re not talking about your local dive bar. No, we’re referring to honest to goodness apparitions, the kind that people claim to spot all over town and that inspire ghost tours of popular attractions. It seems like most of L.A.’s restless spirits take up residence in Hollywood or Downtown, so you’ll find most of the guided tours in those haunted hot spots. While there’s plenty of nocturnal terror to be discovered during Halloween events, ghost tours let Angelenos step into the role of a ghost hunter all year long.
