Unpacking The Eerie

Send us a text

What turns a place into one of the most haunted locations in the world? This week’s tale spans across the globe and includes more than 150 spirits. Come on board this journey with us while we navigate the dark and storied history of one of the world’s most haunted locations, a luxury-liner, a warship, and now a museum and hotel – The Queen Mary. Underneath the ghosts, demons and poltergeists that can be found wandering the hallways and swimming pools of this legendary vessel, we uncover the intricate ways in which racism, the patriarchy and capitalism all play a role in this ship-turned-hotel’s dark past and present.

Content warning: suicide, anti-black racism, brief mentions of childhood sexual violence
