See this content in the original post

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale.  This week, your curator Zach, Is opening the shop with the 100th Episode, and he's got the haunted story of the Queen Mary.

Join us as we commemorate our 100th episode of Oddities! We take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing our favorite spooky stories like the infamous Bloody Mary and the mystifying Flight 401. We'll also reveal some of the most unforgettable listener reactions from episodes such as Duffy's Cut and Fenn's Treasure.

Our main attraction this episode dives into the dark and fascinating history of the RMS Queen Mary. Built during the turbulent times of the Great Depression, this grand ship has sailed through war and peace, gathering a trove of haunted lore along the way. From the tragic wartime collision with the HMS Curacoa to the chilling tale of Watertight Hatch Door number 13, we unravel why the Queen Mary is reputed to be one of the most haunted ships afloat. Personal anecdotes blend seamlessly with historical accounts, making this chapter both informative and spine-tingling.

Thank you for sticking with us through this eerie expedition, and here's to many more episodes of Oddities!
