a few days back I went with my friend BethJean to Long Beach where "The Brit" had a show. We wanted to get dinner beforehand and explore a bit - somehow we ended up going to the
HMS Queen Mary...which a very strange place indeed...
The Queen Mary used to take people back and forth across the Atlantic. It even looks a bit like the Titanic though it was built about 15 or 20 years later. That just adds to the fact that the ship is supposed to be haunted by many different spirits.
After eating we went off to take a look at the rest of the boat. Despite my photos there were actually a fair amount of people on board.
We discovered a display case of toys that belonged to one-time passengers of the ship. Allegedly a few of the ghosts seen on board are children so I was a bit creeped out by these little dolls in particular.
It is a really interesting place to visit but I don't think I'd stay at the hotel - yes, they rent out old passenger cabins as hotel rooms. While I did not get to look inside an actual room, the hallways gave me goosebumps and reminded me a little too much of
The Shinning...
If you happen to find yourself in Long Beach I think it's worth going to have a look at the Queen Mary for yourself.

Happy Sunday!
There are actually a few places to eat on board. We went to the Chelsea Chowder House...
