From its beautiful Art Deco salons to the depths of its darkest corridors, the Queen Mary has been a constant source for stories, articles and documentaries about supernatural sightings and other unexplained activity aboard the historic ship. Testimonials from passengers and crewmembers continue to be reported and documented, all of them wanting answers to what they�ve experienced. Do ghosts really exist aboard the Queen Mary? To help shed some light on this topic, the Queen Mary has introduced a new tour that is being offered daily aboard the haunted ocean liner. The Ghost Encounters Tour with Peter James is now offered in addition to the popular Ghosts & Legends of the Queen Mary, a daily, special effects show. The cost of the new tour is $8 for adults, $5 children (5-11) and is available with the purchase of a General Admission or First Class Passage combination ticket. The hour-long walking tour will take guests to various haunted areas of the ship including the Royal Theater, Propeller Box, Shaft Alley, Engine Room, Boiler Room, First-Class Pool, and hotel decks. Four locations will feature video monitors with recorded dialogue by renowned paranormal researcher Peter James, who has been seen on the Discovery and Sightings television shows. A Tour Guide will provide additional knowledge of the reported hauntings. The Tour will be offered at various times during attraction hours, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Additional weekend, evening hours will be added at a later date.

The existing Ghosts & Legends of the Queen Mary show will continue with its daily schedule. Ghosts & Legends is a special effects, walk-through show created aboard the ship that dramatizes actual paranormal and historic events that have been reported over the past 65 years. The new Ghost Encounters Tour will not make use of special effects but rather focus on actual, documented �hot spots� around the ship. Some subject matter covered in the tour may be unsuitable for young children.

Peter James has performed significant amounts of investigative research on the Queen Mary, and his findings have captured various forms of paranormal activity including audible sounds, smells, distinct temperature changes and visual activity. James hosts a dinner and ghost tour aboard the Queen Mary on select Friday nights. His abilities have also been witnessed on dozens of televised news broadcasts, as well as numerous radio interviews, magazine articles and newspaper coverage.
