Lost souls from the R.M.S.
Titanic are said to haunt graveyards and artifacts *, but what is less talked
about are victims of this tragedy haunt the North Atlantic Sea where this large passenger ship
sank.
In the frigid early morning
hours of April 15, 1912, four days into her crossing, the “unsinkable” Titanic
hit an iceberg mid-Atlantic and sank taking 1,518 lives with her.

For two months after the
Titanic sank, ocean liners continued to encounter the victims’ corpses floating
on the surface. Eventually, only 333 bodies were recovered.
Because many of the bodies
of the deceased passengers were never found, they remain in
this watery grave.
Some believe this created
restless souls that make their presence known.
Witnesses on vessels that
have visited or just passed near where the Titanic sank, over the years, have
confirmed unusual activity that no one has been able to explain.
At night, there are many
reports of lights seen dancing along the surface of the water near the site.
Others report, they saw, what they describe as “glowing orbs” above and below
the waterline.

Ship radios tend to go
haywire near this area. Static overtakes them.
Deep-sea vessels have received mysterious S.O.S signals near the wreckage none have been able to trace the source for these radio waves.

One of the most unusual
incidents happened in 1977. Leonard Bishop, a second officer on the S.S.
Winterhaven, gave one passenger a tour of the ship, as they crossed the
Atlantic.
Bishop couldn’t pinpoint why, but he found this soft-spoken British passenger, odd. This passenger did pay close attention to even the smallest details Bishop shared.

Later that year, a colleague
of Bishop’s showed him an old photograph. Bishop told his associate, “I know that
man, I gave him a tour of the ship.”
His colleague laughed at him and said, “That’s impossible. This is Captain Edward Smith, he was the captain of the Titanic.”

Underwater hauntings are not
as rare as some may think. Three of my most popular posts are about this topic---
