USS Hornet (CV-12)

The Story

USS Hornet's paranormal tradition places uniformed figures in below-decks compartments, crew living spaces, and the chief petty officers' mess. HauntBound recounts reports of unexplained footsteps, equipment anomalies, and a supposedly active elevator, while the museum itself offers paranormal programs. The carrier's service history gives the accounts a specific maritime setting, but investigation recordings and unusual meter readings are not proof of spirits. A single secondary directory remains the principal detailed story source unless additional story evidence is listed. No paranormal claims are independently proven.
