Real Haunted House

USS Lexington

The retired US Naval vessel USS Lexington is most famous for the ghost of the engine room operator who was killed in battle. He has never harmed anyone and only makes his presence known when tourists enter the engine room; he gives guided tours of the room. Sometimes he becomes impatient, however, and slams doors and turns off lights.

You know…. I wouldn’t have believed this story if I hadn’t have gone on a trip and stayed on the actual ship. I remember passing by the engine room on a tour with my peers and I really felt a cold chill when I passed then I thought I saw something moving around in the darkness from the engine room but I pushed it past because I still had a few days left to stay on the ship… Trust in this one…. it’s true….

i know its true cause on a boy scout trip we stayed the night in the ship and as we were in the engine room the fire drill started and we all ran to the deck which took 10 minutes on my way out of the engine room though my friend and i took a short cut and as we ran i saw a dark figure at the bottom of the engine room and he was looking perplexed at the engine as though trying to fix something

ok, i have been on the USS Lexington and the ghost stories are spooky but my cousin and his dad have been there too. while my cousin’s dad was having a ciggerate on the deck he saw men repell off and slam objects against the haul. that is the sounds that they make during the story…but i do believe there is a ghost and i stayed there overnight so i believe that there is.

I really do believe these stories because my mom and other family members have witnessed actual apperances. This is really my kind of website. I love any stories having to do with ghost or any supernatrual things. Maybe I’ll travel one day and try to visit some of these places

Me, my husband, and daughter toured the Lady Lex one summer. We heard all the ghost stories, so we were on the lookout. Never saw a thing, but I will admit the engine room is creepy and has a strange feel to it. If you are ever in Corpus Christi, I highly recommend stopping and seeing this ship for yourself. Exteremely interesting.
