TPPP 43: The Blue Ghost AKA USS Lexington

Explicit content warning

03/15/22 • 70 min

We find ourselves this week in the Pacific theater of the second world war. A ship that has said to have sunk up to four times continues to float in the vast cold ocean. That ship is the USS Lexington, nicknamed as the Blue Ghost by the enemy. And it is still up, despite taking so many different hits.
Now, we cut to today, the ship is now a museum, but we see the ghost stories that haunt this ship now turned into a museum. Not only was this ship used in Pearl Harbor, just not on the day of infamy, but it also showed up in the movie Pearl Harbor with Ben Affleck.
Tune in this week to hear Lisa talk about all the war history this ship endured, including a ton of Japanese propaganda. Regale in Jake's scary stories of first hand account of WWII officers that still live on the ship. And laugh at Davis as he bring us into a new sci-fi series with a Western twist. All this and more on this week's episode of The Possibly Paranormal Podcast!
