The Queen Mary is a retired British ocean liner that sailed from 1936 to 1967. During World War II, the ship was gutted, painted grey, and used by soldiers for travel. Once the war was over, Queen Mary was transformed back to her original state until she retired in 1967. You can tour the great ship, but it's considered to be one of the most haunted ships in the world and one of the top 10 most haunted places in America according to Time Magazine.

Jonathan Luna // 177 // Part 1 // Conspiracy
Drinking The Cool Aid
08/20/23 • 51 min
5.0
Jonathan Luna was a federal prosecutor, working on a plea agreement for the Smith-Poindexter case. On the night of December 3rd, 2003, his vehicle left the Baltimore courthouse at 11:38 PM. His body was discovered early the next morning, face-down in a creek with multiple stab wounds. Could this have something to do with his line of work? Perhaps this is a cover up? Some people believe he ended his own life, but others say this is an obvious homicide.
