The USS Yorktown, also called the Fighting Lady, is a well-storied ship that served in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War before docking near Charleston, South Carolina, as part of the Patriots Point Maritime Museum. This ship is chock-full of history — and, of course, ghosts. There are many, many accounts of paranormal experiences of all kinds: from strange shadows, to full body apparitions, to disembodied footsteps echoing up the stairs for an entire hour.
In this episode, we dive into these encounters and examine photographs that might just be evidence of the supernatural. In fact, Zoey and Robin agree that one photo taken by South Carolina ETV is the best photo of a ghost they’ve ever seen.
But first, Zoey is here with a Creature Corner about Indonesia’s Kuntilanak (also called the Pontianak in Malaysia).

I’m listening to you all daily- catching up on past episodes! So, I live on HHI and I (not intentionally) happened to listen to your Grey Man episode on the day Ian hit — it was super creepy, but talk about timing:)
