Baltimore’s Ghost Ship is more than a haunted attraction. It’s a benefit performance that supports Project Liberty Ship to preserve the fully operational museum ship, SS JOHN W BROWN in honoring the brave Merchant Mariners who risked everything to support the U.S. and Allied forces during WWII. Today, the ship serves as a vital platform for youth, police, fire and Homeland Security training as well as historical education. But every October, that mission gets a little twisted as the autumn moon casts its cold silver glow across Baltimore’s Harbor. Something ancient and terrible stirs in the dark beneath the decks of the SS JOHN W BROWN. The historic World War II Liberty ship, once a lifeline to troops crossing the Atlantic becomes a vessel for the dead, the damned, and something far worse than war.
You see, the Brown her own legends. Long ago, as She crossed treacherous seas carrying munitions and hope, whispers tell of a cursed cargo, a sealed crate not listed on the manifest that reeked of salt and decay. When the crew pried it open, what they released was no weapon of war, but something far worse, and not of this world. A sea creature of unimaginable size and hunger, bound in ancient chains and sealed by those who came before us.
The crew thought they’d escaped it… but they were wrong.
Now, each October, the ghostly crew returns. Spectral sailors with hollow eyes and unfinished business who drift through the passageways beckoning you below where the sea monster hungrily roams. The deeper you go, the more the ship changes. Bulkheads groan, shadows crawl, and the deck trembles with something alive below.
So step aboard, if you dare. But beware… once you descend into the haunted holds, you may not return the same.
