Did you hear that?

Whoa!

That curtain just moved.

On this episode of "Expedition X..."

Wow, that thing is massive!

...my team boards the USS Hornet,

one of America's most decorated warships

that's also said to be one of its most haunted.

Oh-- what was that?

Eyewitnesses claim a paranormal battle

is taking place.

Here's all this spiritual traffic that make this ship

more of a beacon.

Things that don't belong here.

Are the spirits of its fallen sailors still protecting

this ship, even in death?

She's in need of medical attention on her right arm.

Right arm!

Phil and Heather will go to war...

Oh, boy.

...with the horrors of the Hornet.

What the?

All right, guys, how do we feel about boats?

I feel great about boats, as long as they float.

Am I gonna need Dramamine? What are we talking about here?

No Dramamine, but we need to pack all our paranormal gear.

I have a lead on an amazing paranormal hotspot that has

slithering shadow figures, disembodied voices, people even

report being choked there, and a whole heck of a lot more.

So, ghosts on a boat?

Well, a ship, and that ship is the USS Hornet.

It's a decommissioned aircraft carrier that's moored

in San Francisco Bay,

and it saw a ton of action during World War II.

And the people that maintain it today say that it's still fully

crewed with spirits. - Ooh.

First of all, excellent naval knowledge, Heather.

And the USS Hornet is a ship indeed.

It has one of the most famous lineages of the whole US fleet.

And considering all of the action that it saw

and all of the blood spilled, I can certainly see

how the USS Hornet may have gone from glory to ghost story.

March 15, 1944.

At the height of World War II,

the newly-commissioned aircraft carrier USS Hornet CV-12

set sail from Pearl Harbor to join the conflict

now raging in the Pacific Ocean.

Nearly 900 feet long,

this cutting-edge Essex-class carrier has 18 decks,

1,000 rooms, seven galleys,

a hospital, a barbershop, even a jail.

It isn't just a warship.

It's a floating city of steel, home to 4,000 crewmen,

along with 100 fighter planes and dive bombers.

During the following 16 months of continuous, furious combat,

the Hornet plays a pivotal role in the battles of Leyte Gulf,

Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.

Its air group shreds Japanese fighter planes,

knocking 668 enemy aircraft out of the sky.

And blowing up another 742 on the ground.

Meanwhile, her Avenger torpedo bombers

send 73 ships to watery graves.

The Hornet dodges torpedoes

and endures constant strafing runs, plus kamikaze attacks.

Many of her brave crew will die, pilots launching

fearlessly into battle, never to return.

While on deck, crewmen succumb to shrapnel and bullet wounds.

All told, more than 300 crew die on the ship,

with another 50 airmen killed in action.

After bringing home hundreds of wounded soldiers

at the conflict's end, the warship is eventually

decommissioned in 1970.

In the late 1990s, the Hornet is saved

from the scrapyard and transformed

into a floating museum moored in Alameda, California.

Almost immediately, restoration workers and guides

begin to report terrifying paranormal encounters.

Ghostly sailors are regularly seen on the hangar deck

and charging through the ship's claustrophobic corridors.

The activity only seems to be increasing, with many guides

convinced there are more than

just the spirits of former sailors on board.

There are repeated sightings of a terrifying crawling figure

near the admiral's quarters.

And claims of an entity that chokes visitors in an area

known as the fo'c'sle.

Has the Hornet's crew really returned to duty

for one last war?

And are the living the enemy?

OK, so what do you think?

So my grandfather served in the Pacific

on the USS Montrose.

His stories really stayed with me.

It's not a stretch at all to think that the energies

of those that served and died on the Hornet

are still imprinted on it somehow today.

And you know, it's the imprint

that I'm interested in too,

but in a different sense of the word.

Because think about it, this is a vast metal construction

that has been imprinted or degraded by age and war.

So it seems like people who visit there could easily be

overwhelmed by this unusual, claustrophobic space

and its history.

So maybe it's not ghosts they're experiencing,

but the atmosphere.

OK, so a not-so-ship-shape ship, Phil.

Yeah.

All right, so look, whether it's the environment

or what happened in that environment,

that's what you have to find out.

So calibrate your latitude and longitude and plot a course

for the USS Hornet to discover

if she has truly been boarded by spirits.

- Aye, Captain. - Dismissed.

After a six-hour flight from New York to San Francisco,

Phil and Heather take to the water, charting a course

for the USS Hornet.

- Is that it? - That's it.

Wow, that thing is massive.

We've arranged to meet with the ship's docents,

Tracy Newby,

Faye Navarro,

Heidi Schave,

and Kris Schave.

Between the four of them, they've spent over 50 years

working on the USS Hornet.

Lovely to meet y'all.

Well, this is incredible. So this is the hangar?

Yes.

We did our best researching this ship before we got here.

It has a long, decorated history,

so I just want to get right to it.

Do you think the USS Hornet is haunted?

- Yes. - Why?

Some of us have been touched in ways we can't explain.

I was working in security at the time, and we had reports

of some teenagers messing around in the fo'c'sle,

where the anchor chains are,

and I would go up and check it out.

And as I was climbing up the ladder,

I felt a constriction around my throat.

When you say "constriction," do you mean it just felt kind

of tight in your throat?

No, I felt like someone or something was choking me.

Like there was a rope around my neck.

Oof!

I experienced something kind of creepy.

We were up in the admiral's quarters, and I was looking

down the passageway, and I kept seeing someone peering out

out of this one opening.

And then I saw like a hand, another hand, a head peer out,

and I'm just staring at this thing.

It just looked like it was like a person in the dark,

just a shadow crawling across the floor and then vanished.

- That's creepy. - Wow.

We have so many people that experience the crawling spirit,

so that's why we call it the "Crawler."

So the USS Hornet is a huge ship.

- Where else should we look into? - Sick bay.

I've seen actual poltergeist activity down there.

The pharmacy closet door was opening and shutting...

...violently by itself.

And I just stood there in shock.

That was crazy.

So, also in sick bay,

sometimes people will lay on the operating table.

And I had someone actually do it and ask for help.

Like, "Hey, I need help. Grab my leg."

And you can actually see an imprint of a hand

on the sweats.

You think that's a ghost medic going to help that person?

- I say so, yeah. - Wow.

Anybody else had encounters that they can't explain it?

I've seen full-bodied apparitions of men in uniforms

walk into walls.

Many years ago, when I first started working here,

I took a picture of the admiral's bridge.

I've actually caught a ghost in a photograph.

- Do you have the photo? - It's right here.

Wow.

You're telling me there was no one there?

Not when I took that, no.

It looks a lot like Admiral Joseph "Jocko" Clark,

who was here in 1944. - Admiral Jocko Clark?

Yes, that is who I think it is.

And he was actually really beloved among the crew.

When he got here, one of our captains was

Captain Browning.

Two guys fell overboard, and he didn't turn around

the ship to get them, and Clark was actually the one

that reprimanded him and got him removed.

That's why the men really followed him well.

Admiral Jocko Clark is one of the legendary spirits

of this ship, and we believe he's still here with us.

I think he's still in command.

It's a remarkable photo.

Well, thank you all so much. We got a lot to do.

- First stop, flight deck? - Heck yeah.

- OK. - Thanks.

- Bye. - Good luck.

Heather wants to check out reports of the sinister entity

known as the "Crawler" near the admiral's quarters

on the 02 deck.

I'm planning to head to the fo'c'sle on the 01 deck

to investigate Tracy's claim of being choked.

But first, we both ascend to the flight deck to try

and replicate the ghostly photo Heidi took of the bridge.

- Wow. - Wow.

- Look at this place. - Oh, my gosh.

Incredible.

I mean, can you imagine the action?

Enemy flying overhead, planes zipping off

the runway here.

See that up there?

- That look familiar? - Oh, yeah.

That's where the picture was taken.

Exactly.

Can you set up a camera to match the angle of her image?

I want to head up there and see if I can recreate that figure

here on the Hornet. - OK, copy that.

All right, Phil, I am set.

I've got the camera looking at those windows.

Copy-- can you see me up here right now?

Yeah, for sure.

OK, does it look like I'm in a similar position?

Well, you look shorter.

I mean, the top of the head is on almost at the top

of the window frame.

I'm standing up on this.

- Does that look better? - That looks better.

The right arm is extended past the window pane to your right.

Like so?

Yeah, that's much better.

Keep it running,

taking photos every 10, 15 seconds,

and I'm gonna play with the light,

see what I can come up with. - Copy that.

I'm gonna leave the camera running,

and I'm gonna start investigating.

So, it's hard to tell right now,

but out there is the sunset.

Now, this ship has a lot of reflective surfaces.

So what I'm wondering is maybe what she saw

isn't a ghost, but a glare.

So let's start shining this thing,

see what we can come up with.

That camera should be taking photos about every five seconds,

so I'm just gonna hold this here for five.

You can see right here,

this light is bouncing off this.

Bouncing off this surface.

I think I've bounced light around here enough.

Gonna keep that camera running,

see what else shows up here tonight.

Oh, wow. Look at this.

I got XLS.

It'll detect any unusual entities.

I'm also gonna do...

an EVP session.

My name is Heather.

And I just want to understand what's going on.

If you get close to this EMF meter, if you make it go off,

I'll consider that a yes.

Is there anyone here with me?

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

OK, all right. All right.

Admiral Jocko,

is that who's sitting at the head of this table?

Right now,

it feels as though you are right here with us.

Yes. Yes.

Yes. Big yes.

OK. I don't have you on the XLS.

If you could show up on the XLS, that would be...

awesome.

Oh, oh, oh. Oh, boy.

OK.

There you are. There you are.

I see you. OK.

You are tall.

Oh, gone. OK, all right.

OK.

Is there something evil attracted to the USS Hornet?

Yes.

Is the Crawler one of the evil spirits?

Yes!

Right here was where Faye was sitting

when she saw the Crawler through this doorway.

Is the Crawler here with me right now?

Yes! Big yes!

Big yes!

Where is the Crawler?

Whoa. What is that?

Is that the Crawler?

Yes.

Gone. Never seen that before.

Oh my gosh, this is it.

Look at that anchor chain.

This is the fo'c'sle.

Absolutely amazing.

This must be the ladder.

So it was about halfway up this ladder

that Tracy said he started feeling

like he was being choked.

And up I go.

Test out this feeling on the way up.

Didn't feel like I was being choked.

Whoa!

Did you hear that?

That was a scream.

Whoa!

Heather, you good? You good?

Come on.

Heather, do you copy? Are you OK?

I'm not getting her on walkie.

I think it just can't reach through the ship.

All right.

Let's see if we can figure out what that was.

Make sure she's all right.

I search the passageways all around the fo'c'sle

for the source of the scream, but find nothing.

Eventually, I end up back in Heather's walkie range.

- Heather, do you copy? - Yeah, I copy.

- What's up? - Finally.

Are you guys OK?

We've gotten a lot of activity up here.

But yeah, we're all OK.

I heard someone yell like they just got injured.

That's wild. We need to regroup.

- Let's meet in the sick bay. - OK, I'll see you there.

Phil.

So, you're telling me you didn't hear that?

- Everyone's good? - No, everyone is good.

You said you heard someone screaming in pain?

Yeah, that's what it sounded like.

And when the USS Hornet was in action...

There would probably be a lot of injured

screaming for help in sick bay.

Right.

Whoa.

Wow, X-rays.

Oh, wow. Look at this.

Remember that story about the pharmacy?

- Is that it? - This is it.

The pharmacy closet door

was opening and shutting violently by itself.

Back here.

This must be the closet door she said opened and closed.

Oh, yeah.

Let's see if we can get some activity.

OK.

OK.

We heard that that door can open and shut.

Can you close that door?

Are you trying to get some medicine in there?

Yes, OK.

Look at that. Door's moving.

Oh, it is.

- Door's moving. - Door is moving.

Were you trying to shut us out?

That was crazy.

Are you hiding behind the door?

There's nothing there that should be making it go off.

I'm hearing a lot of movement out there.

Yeah.

Oh.

I thought I just saw something on the ground over here.

I swear, out of the corner of my eye, it looked like

there was someone right there, crawling.

I don't know, it might have been a reflection of the light,

and just my eye playing a trick on me, but it looked like

there was someone down there.

What?

I-- I-- I just saw a shadow

just dart in the hallway over here. - Where, down here?

It went in here.

Heather.

- This is the surgical suite. - Oh, my God.

I'm telling you, whatever I just saw

darted into this room.

Wow, this is an original operating room.

Remember what Faye said.

She's brought guests in here that have laid on this gurney

and felt a medic's hands on them.

She even saw the imprint of a hand.

Well, supposedly, sure.

I want to test it out, but I want to borrow

from the Estes method. - OK.

Here's what I'm thinking.

You communicate with the medic, and I'm the patient.

I'll lay down on this gurney with noise-canceling headphones,

blindfold on, and let's see if I feel anything.

OK, so you want me to tell the medic what's wrong

with you? It's gonna be a long list.

- OK, rude. - OK, let's give it a shot.

All right, here are the headphones.

Once you put them on, I'll tap you once.

That says we've started.

Once we're done, I'll tap you twice on the shoulder.

OK.

All right, can you hear me?

Heather, there's a spider on your shoulder.

That didn't-- Heather, spider!

All right, that didn't get her. I think it's working.

If there is a medic in here, this is Heather.

She has a fractured foot. Can you assist?

Nothing. OK.

If there is a medic in here, she's in need of medical

attention on her right arm.

Ooh, right arm!

What?

- Bro. - What?

Bro, it felt like two fingertips going down my arm.

- No. - Like a feather.

- Are you messing with me? - No.

I said, "fracture on her right arm."

Did it feel aggressive?

No, it was a gentle touch.

What do you do with that information?

- What's our next step? - I think the next step is

spending the night on the ship

and putting ourselves in that vulnerable position.

I saw some bunks down the hall within the sick bay,

so I'll take down here. You take the stateroom.

- We'll see how long we last. - OK.

With Phil hunkering down in one of the sick bay bunks,

I head up to a stateroom on the 02 level

where shadow figures have been reported.

We both set up REM pods, handy cams, and recorders

to catch any unusual activity.

Just put it here.

All right.

Time to get some sleep.

Whoa!

What was that?

REM pod's going off like crazy.

Heather, wake up, wake up.

Phil, what's going on?

There's something about this sick bay, Heather.

You need to get over here.

Copy that, I'm on my way.

- Hey. - Hi.

What happened?

I don't know. I was sleeping.

- Really? - Right down here, whoa.

Is that from our movement?

No, it's not.

Did you hear that?

- What'd you hear? - It was like a knock.

Behind me?

Back here?

Yeah.

Whoa!

No!

That curtain just moved.

Heather, there's no one there. I saw it.

Just had 10 years go off of my life.

I have goosebumps right now.

- That was crazy. - Phil...

It was right here. You saw it, right?

Yeah.

It was like the curtain just did... that.

Yes, like someone was getting out of bed.

How did that happen, Heather?

I'll give you one reason.

That was really, really spooky.

OK.

I don't see anything.

Nothing.

All right. Nothing back here.

I have no explanation for how that happened.

After a night I'm not eager to repeat, I want to learn more

about the history of the Hornet.

Bruce Douglas knows this ship better than anyone

because he served on board in the 1960s.

This room is incredible. Where are we right now?

This is Combat Information Center, CIC for short.

It's like the nerve center of the ship.

Here they keep track of everything that's going on

around the ship, underwater, on the surface, and in the air.

Unbelievable. And you actually served

on this ship during the Vietnam War?

Yes, I was on board from late 1968

through decommissioning in 1970.

Well, thank you for your service.

And I got to know, the USS Hornet has gained

a reputation as being a very haunted ship.

Yes.

Do you think what most people hear and assume are ghosts

is really just an old ship

creaking and moaning a little bit?

That would be plausible.

But as far as actual voices and footsteps,

I can't explain those.

Are there any stories that stand out to you that you say,

"Well, that one I can't explain"?

One story in particular, one of the ladies that works

on the ship that I know,

she was down in aft auxiliary.

It's very near the bottom of the ship, below the waterline,

an area that's not open to the public.

And she heard a growling noise down there.

A growling noise?

That's how she described it, yes.

It really affected her.

It really made an impression on her.

So it scared her?

It did stick with her, yes.

But there's nothing in there that functions anymore that

would even move at all that might cause a growling noise.

If I wanted to look into this growling noise

in the aft auxiliary, how would I get down there?

It's probably pretty close to the bottom of the ship.

You'd have to go down an elevator shaft.

The elevator no longer works.

You'd have to have a rope and rappel down.

- OK. - But don't look down.

Noted.

I've arranged to meet with docent Stacy Meyn.

Well, I can't wait to chat.

She leads night tours of the ship and believes

she's encountered terrifying paranormal activity.

Tell me about the most intense

experience you've ever had on the ship?

So, this was the 02 ready room.

The pilots would get their briefings,

and one of the guests called out,

"I see a shadow figure in the passageway."

So, I went out into the passageway.

I looked towards the back of the ship, and in my face was

a shadow figure approaching.

Got out of the way just in time, whoosh,

and then disappeared down the hall.

Male, slender, moving with a purpose.

- Were you scared? - I was startled.

- That was a first for me. - That's incredible.

As we continue to investigate,

where would you recommend we go?

The 02 ready room and radio central.

OK.

So, what was radio central used for?

So, that was the communication nexus for the ship.

And if you're fighting a war, that had to be the most

protected place on the entire ship. - One of them.

- Absolutely. - Why is this ship so active?

There is a constellation of things that make this ship--

We say it's a portal. I think it's more of a beacon.

We're in salt water. We're in a fault line.

And there's the antennas up above.

- The antennas still work? - Some of them still do.

- OK. - They're still connected.

So, here's all this spiritual traffic coming in,

you know, good, bad, indifferent.

Things that don't belong here find the beacon and come in.

But the sailors, they will always protect.

They will always guard the ship.

So, the spirits of sailors on this ship kick off any entities

that don't belong. They're fighting a war.

Ultimately, yes. They're guardians.

And the job is never done protecting the ship.

The idea that the spirits of the sailors

are protecting the ship from something far darker

really resonates with me.

With that in mind, Phil and I split up to try and prove

what's happening on the Hornet.

I head up to the ready room on the 02 deck, where Stacy had

her disturbing shadow figure encounter.

Meanwhile, Phil gets ready to rappel down the elevator shaft

leading to the aft auxiliary deck, investigating the strange

growls heard deep within the ship.

Bombs away.

We'll aim to meet back up at the radio room at midnight,

where I want to harness the power of the ship's antenna

as a paranormal beacon.

OK.

Just another day on the job, huh?

So it's about 70 feet down.

That's a heck of a drop down there.

Ah!

Ah!

Oof!

OK, that was a little scary.

I'm about to enter an area of this ship

that has been closed off for quite a while,

so I have no idea what I'm up against.

But it is now time to enter the belly of the beast.

Here we go.

So, this is aft auxiliary.

This is where, according to Bruce, someone down in here

heard what sounded like a growl.

I'm gonna get out the FLIR.

So, most of this room looks pretty cool.

What is that?

Getting some heat signature

off these pipes here.

Yeah, starting to feel a little bit out of breath.

Got to check the air quality.

Oxygen levels are good.

Carbon monoxide levels could be better.

The way it can affect you at those low doses is making

you dizzy, confused, possibly see things,

and maybe even hear things. Numbers are going up.

I don't want to spend too much time down here.

So, yeah, got to make this quick.

Stacy was in the ready room

when one of her guests saw a shadow figure cross by.

This is where the pilots would have gotten

their mission briefings before taking off into action.

A lot of those pilots never returned from those missions.

But they would have had to wait sometimes for hours

in this spot.

So I brought some trigger objects to see if I can

spark any activity.

We've got 1940s playing cards

issued by the US Navy.

1940s dominoes,

because they needed activities to pass their time.

This is a motion-activated record player.

Anything gets anywhere near to it,

it's gonna start playing a record.

One more tool.

Got all of these tools for you to interact with,

so I know you're here.

Is there anyone here with me?

Can you tell me your name?

What is down here?

Just listen.

Something's making noise, I heard.

It sounds like water being pumped.

Up here.

The sound is coming from in here.

So when I'm outside of this thing, my voice sounds

fairly normal.

But the second I talk inside of it, listen to that.

Hello?

Whoa.

It's picking up a lot of the lower tones and making

those vibrate more than the higher tones.

So let's say some water flushes through this.

Maybe the lower tones of that water flushing through

are getting amplified and resonating through this,

shooting out into aft auxiliary,

and the effects of carbon monoxide adds a whole new

element in sounding like a growl.

Stacy said that the most intense experience she ever had

was that shadow figure barreling down the hallway.

Was that you? Were you that shadow figure?

In your prime while you were-- wah!

OK, so you were in your prime when you were on this ship.

How many spirits are here with me?

There's a bunch of you here?

Are you on this ship still protecting it

from entities that don't belong?

Are you keeping her safe?

Ooh, yes. Yes, OK.

Yeah, so you're still saving her from enemies.

I think there's a ton of sailors on this ship that are

still protecting her. I think this ship is a beacon.

It's like a supercharged battery

for spirits to constantly use.

Yep, I think I'm finally understanding the activity

on this ship.

Just before midnight, I climb back up to the flight deck

and head to radio central

to regroup with Heather like planned.

Phil!

Wow, look at this equipment!

This is crazy.

Oh my gosh.

Oh, this must have been cryptography in here.

- Top secret, look at that. - Wow.

If these walls could talk...

They could-- whoa!

What the?

Over its years of service, the USS Hornet welcomed

many legendary guests, from presidents to astronauts.

But arguably the most remarkable visitor was a gaunt,

wild-eyed man named George Tweed,

also known as the Ghost of Guam.

When Japan invaded the US territory of Guam

in 1941, Navy sailor Tweed fled into the jungle.

He then spent a harrowing 31 months evading the Japanese,

who were desperate to capture him.

After three years of remaining invisible to the enemy,

he was finally rescued by US troops

and brought aboard the USS Hornet.

Dumbstruck sailors described him as "deathly thin,

"pale as a ghost, carrying only a bloodstained machete

"and a bundle of handwritten notes

detailing enemy positions."

American forces used that very intel to retake Guam,

and Tweed was awarded the Legion of Merit.

Not bad for a so-called ghost.

How is this on? Did you press something?

I didn't press anything.

Maybe they have this thing on a timer for visitors,

and it just goes off

every once in a while. - Pretty good timing.

"Turkey trots to water four RR the World Wonders."

That's got to be code. Let me get a photo of it.

I want to try and connect my spirit box

to the ship's still functioning antenna.

OK.

- Here we go. - What?

- Antenna input. - Antenna input.

- OK, I'll grab the spirit box. - OK.

Connecting my device directly to the system should

supercharge its range, turning the whole ship

into a paranormal communication device.

If this works, this will be the most powerful

call-and-response session we've ever attempted.

- You ready? - Mm-hmm.

Recording is going. This is Phil and Heather.

We are in radio central.

We are plugged into the antenna.

Give it a rip.

You sailors are heroes.

Is there anyone with us?

"Trapped"? Why are you trapped?

Are you still protecting this ship?

"Yes."

What are you protecting it from?

What is here?

"Good and bad."

Is the Choker here?

- "Death." - That's a scary noise.

Death.

"Kill"?

Are you the Crawler?

"Be gone"?

Did you just say "sailor"?

"Yes." OK.

If you were sailing on the ship, what was your job?

What was your rank?

General? Admiral Jocko, are you here?

There's so much activity

and so many different types of activity.

And it does seem like they are still protecting the ship.

And possibly the strength of that duty running through

the blood of these sailors.

This is a bond that these sailors created together

that would last well past a lifetime.

If there's anything you want to say, now's the time.

"Peace"? You want peace?

What haunts the USS Hornet?

Heather and Phil asked questions using

their super-powered spirit box for another hour and continued

to get deeply disturbing answers.

But none were more unsettling than this--

What are you protecting it from?

What is here?

"Good and bad."

"Good and bad."

This was the frightening theme for the evidence the team

collected during their time on this 80-year-old

aircraft carrier.

First, to the good, was there any evidence of positive

paranormal forces on the Hornet?

We reviewed the series of photos Phil took on the bridge.

None of his reflected light experiments came close to

replicating the clearly-defined shape our witness captured.

Does this mean her photo really was a manifestation

of the ship's admiral, Joseph "Jocko" Clark?

It may be that he's still

protecting the ship he loved so dearly.

But there was also evidence of the bad.

Whoa, what is that?

Heather believes the sinister black line

in the corridor outside the conference room

is proof of an aggressive paranormal presence.

Given that this is right where the hostile Crawler spirit

is often reported, she's only more certain

that something menacing was close.

Which makes what she captured on the audio recorded

in the room itself all the more shocking.

She noticed the appearance of the lines coincided

with this noise.

Is that the Crawler?

It's very faint, but she believes you can

distinctly hear the repetitive

sound of a general quarters alarm.

No quarter, no quarter.

All hands man your battle stations.

Could this be the residual energy of sailors scrambling

to their battle stations?

Or is this a warning

because the Crawler was about to attack?

The identity of this disturbing crawling entity

remains a mystery.

Is the USS Hornet at war between the good and the bad?

Are the spirits of the brave sailors really battling

a strange, evil, paranormal force?

Whoa!

Heather thinks the evidence points to a simple answer...

Yes.

If the USS Hornet truly is fighting on in the afterlife,

Heather had a final idea to bring what this warship

and its former sailors would want most of all...

Peace.

OK, so they used to play this

every single night before lights out.

Let's see if we can help these sailors get rest.

OK.

- Ready? - Mm-hmm.
