The Story
The Star of India's ghost lore includes an apprentice named John Campbell, associated in published accounts with a fatal fall from the rigging. HauntBound recounts reports of a cold touch near the mast, movement in lower-deck cabins, and a shadow in the hold. Other stories describe footsteps or seemingly disturbed equipment when no living person is visible nearby. A single secondary directory remains the principal detailed story source unless additional story evidence is listed. No paranormal claims are independently proven.
