Thank you to all those that braved the freeways to come out to the Queen Mary on the 13th, and sorry to those that came out and couldn't find someone with a GHOULA button in the bar. Give the macabre beauty of this local landmark, and the maze-like network of creepy halls, stairwells, and decks, it was difficult keeping people to stay in that one room (which for some bizarre reason was filled with visiting belly-dancers).
Although no one seemed to have a ghostly encounter (as in a full manifestation), there were a couple of incidents that may be worth noting. A couple of F.O.G.'s (Friends of Ghoula), independantly discovered black stains on their palms while exploring the ship. Assuming it was grease or brass polish (from holding the hand rails), they continued their separate tours, and never gave the mysterious smudges another thought.The next day, GHOULA recieved an email from someone, who while researching the ghost stories of the Queen Mary (later that night), came across a story concerning the ghost of John Pedder. Some say that this ghost (who used to be a mechanic for the ship) sometimes reaches out and touches guests of the Queen Mary, as evidenced by unexplained black grease stains on a person's hands or face. Did John Pedder make contact with us that night? Only John Pedder knows for sure.
