I've always had a big interest in ships, I've also read a lot about ship wrecks. Seeing the Queen Mary is a bit eerie because it looks a lot like what I'd imagine the Titanic looked like. (Though the Queen Mary is actually larger)
I took a ghost tour of the ship, which was mostly concentrated below deck. Most of the below deck tour "Ghost Hunt" was led with flashlights being our only light. I remember being pretty freaked out in the engine room, especially after I looked behind me and realized I was the last one in our group. Supposedly the engine room is where frequent ghost sightings occur.
The first class swimming pool is the most dreadful place I've even been. (.. and this includes Utah) Though the pool has not been used for decades, the bottom of the pool continues to stay wet. The whole place is really hair-raising, especially with the dark corners and mirrors throughout. This is probably the last place I'd want to be alone.
The Queen Mary is really historic, but the unfortunate part is you leave with a showboat impression, mostly of hauntings and ghosts on this ship. If they left it alone it would seem a lot more authentic, as in fact a lot of people have died on this ship.
