If paranormal activity exists anywhere, it would be on a decommissioned warship right next to the site of a gruesome battle. History buffs and believers of otherworldly entities alike won’t want to miss this overnight ghost hunt on the Battleship Texas.
Commissioned in 1912, this iconic landmark is the last remaining battleship to have served in both World Wars. It became a floating memorial and museum in 1948, after the surrender of Japan.
