| USS Hornet |
 |
| The most haunted ship in history!!! |
| ||||||
| The USS Hornet, a 41,000-ton aircraft carrier, was built in 1943 and was able to have up to 3,400 sailors on board at any one time. The Hornet has the finest operational record of any aircraft carrier the U.S. Navy has ever commissioned. The Hornet was involved in the retrieval of the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 lunar modules in 1969, man's first trips to the moon. It earned the nickname the "Grey Ghost" because by the time the enemy realized the ship was within firing range, the Hornet's air squadrons were already attacking. The carrier was the most destructive single vessel in naval history, and was said to navigate the waters like a ghost. During the carrier's 27 years of operation, 270 men died aboard the Hornet in a variety of gruesome accidents, violent attacks and grisly suicides. Over the years, many sailors walked face-first into spinning propellers or invisible streams of scalding hot steam that instantly boiled their blood and melted the flesh off their bodies. A munitions officer was cut in half when he unsuccessfully tried to leap into the weapons elevator. Dropped missiles and bombs caused explosions that transformed the entire deck into a blazing inferno, killing many men. During WWII, many POW's were captured and tortured. The Hornet became infamous for the brutality with which it "interrogated" its prisoners. It quickly became rumored that a POW captured by the Hornet would not see land again. On the flight deck, jet exhaust blew men overboard, most of whom were never recovered. Several deck officers were sucked into jet intake tubes, while at least three others were decapitated by snapping flight cables. The Hornet also had the highest suicide rate of any vessel in the Navy. Depression, loneliness and madness were thought to be the most common reasons for the men taking their own lives, although some people say that fear of the ship being cursed drove some men to commit suicide. In 1960, the Navy officially decommissioned the USS Hornet. After 270 deaths and an endless supply of bizarre stories, By the end of 1960, the Hornet settled into the dock, where it still stands today. Since the 1960s, paranormal investigators, psychics and researchers have been drawn to investigate the bizarre stories of the USS Hornet. Spirits of dead sailors and officers wander the intricate labyrinths of narrow passageways and quarters throughout the giant vessel. Doors open and close on their own, objects move across floors and fall off of shelves, and sounds from the past echo through the stairwells. Men in naval uniforms appear out of thin air to patrol compartments as if they're still carrying out their daily orders. People have been pushed and grabbed by some invisible force. Psychics and professional ghost hunters agree that these are the souls of suffering men, cheated out of their lives after spending their final days in hell. One former sailor stationed on the Hornet reported being repeatedly pulled from his bunk onto the floor by an unseen force. Since the restoration of the Hornet, dozens of visitors have reported sightings of sailors in khaki uniforms walking the decks as if on duty, despite the fact that there are no sailors on board. The USS Hornet, often called the most haunted ship in history, eventually found a permanent home. The ship underwent a complete cosmetic renovation and now serves as a monument to the 270 crewmen who have lost their lives on the ship. During the renovation, the servicemen who worked aboard the vessel were frequently beset by ghosts, said some workers, one of whom was hospitalized after being "rammed into a wall" by an unseen force. Other workers and visitors have claimed to see apparitions and heard noises. 2001 @mtv.com |
