The Story
Aviation folklore at the Air Force museum attaches experiences to individual aircraft, including a figure apparently operating switches in the Hopalong helicopter and voices around Black Mariah. Our Haunted Travels recounts those stories. The museum’s public-affairs office told Cleveland 19 that no ghost sightings had been officially documented and no physical evidence supported the claim.
