Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why did the ghost of the aviator appear on the aircraft carrier Glory?

The ghost appeared in cabin 8, likely his old quarters, shortly after Christmas, possibly as a manifestation of his tragic death during the Korean War. However, no officer from the Royal Air Force ever served on that ship, making his identity a mystery.

What happened to the four missing bombers from No. 149 Squadron?

The bombers were lost in heavy snow and freezing conditions. One pilot managed to fly his damaged plane as far as he could but ultimately crashed into the sea, 40 miles from the nearest air-sea rescue outfit, resulting in the loss of the plane and its crew.

How did the ghost of David McConnell communicate his death to his roommate?

McConnell appeared to his roommate, Lt. Larkin, in their shared room wearing his full flying gear, even though he had just crashed and died. Larkin saw and spoke to him, unaware that McConnell was already dead, and later confirmed the exact time of his death through his stopped watch.

What was the last wish of Jim Curran, and why was it not fulfilled?

Jim Curran wished to be buried in the new Southside Cemetery, but his wish was not fulfilled because the cemetery had not yet been consecrated. Father Walsh, responsible for the burial, decided to bury him in the Northside Cemetery instead, which was consecrated.

How did Jim Curran's ghost make his presence known after his burial?

After his burial, Jim Curran's ghost caused several disturbances, including leading Father Walsh and his driver astray during a snowstorm and knocking on Father Walsh's door at night. These events convinced Father Walsh to consecrate the Southside Cemetery and re-bury Curran there.

What happened to Theodosia Burr Alston after she boarded the Patriot?

Theodosia Burr Alston's ship, the Patriot, vanished without a trace off the coast of the Carolinas. Evidence suggests she was captured by pirates, who scuttled the ship, and she was executed by walking the plank, maintaining composure until her death.
