Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Naval Ships: USS Yorktown, USS Cyclops and UB-65
Episode notes
About this episode
| Naval ghost stories combine the dangers of military service with the uncertainty of life at sea. Some concern ships that vanished, while others follow vessels preserved as museums or remembered through the sailors who served aboard them. This episode focuses on six American and German warships.
USS Yorktown and USS Cod are accessible museum ships with long service histories and later reports of unexplained activity. USS Croaker adds another preserved submarine to the route, while the destroyer USS Caron carries stories connected to its crews and operational life. USS Cyclops, lost without a confirmed explanation in 1918, brings disappearance and maritime mystery into the program. German submarine UB-65 adds a First World War legend shaped by accident, fear and repeated retelling. The episode distinguishes those documented naval records from later supernatural claims, curses and seafaring superstition. |
