Eerie Tales of Paranormal Activity on Airlines

Haunted places come in countless shapes and forms, from the more familiar haunted houses or other buildings, to haunted caves, forests, and even vehicles such as cars and ships. There seems to be no limit to what ghostly forces will attach themselves to, and certainly among these are actual haunted airplanes. These places don’t really typically lend themselves to being what one would typically imagine a haunted place to be, but there are plenty of reports of all kinds of strange paranormal activity reported from planes, and here are a few.
Quite a few spooky tales of ghosts on airplanes revolve around passengers who are seen by other passengers or crew, but which turn out to not really be there at all, at least not in any normal physical sense. One such case comes from Reddit user violetlullaby, who was a flight attendant aboard a B737, a smaller plane which features a cockpit door close to crew’s seats. At the time they were at cruising altitude, and that was when the captain called asking why two little kids were being allowed to play in front of the cockpit door. The crew reported that there were no kids playing there, but the captain insisted he was watching them right at that moment on CCTV. The witness says:
Leading with another crew, sitting at the crew’s seats denied any kids playing near the area (the seats are seated right next to cockpit door). But the captain insisted he could actually see two kids (a boy and a girl) playing in front of the door through the CCTV. At this point, leading was not too happy thinking that their pilots are pulling pranks on them. After quite some time the captain let it go and said to never mind them.
When they touched down and got to the hotel, the captain pulled leading aside along with his First Officer in tow. He insisted to know if the leading and her crew really didn’t see the two kids playing in front of cockpit door and the GA. She maintained they didn’t and said since the galley is so small anyway (like seriously about less than 10 meters long only from port-side door to starboard’s door, that consist of crew seats, entrance of cockpit and GA) she wouldn’t miss the two kids playing. Both pilots went blank then said both have seen the kids playing right besides both FAs and wonder why they let them there. FO confirmed what his captain seen.
Who were these phantom kids? Where did they come from and where did they go? From Reddit user Wilsonxrutter we have another story, which he claims happened to a friend of his who was a flight attendant on a red-eye flight from San Francisco to New York. As the passengers were coming in, the witness said that he had distinctly noticed a well-dressed man in his 40s carrying a briefcase, who took a seat at the rear of the plane near the restrooms. He didn’t think much of it at the time, but things would get strange when the crew counted the passengers later in the flight. He explains:
He sat at the back of the plane near the bathrooms. Before departure, the FA’s remembered counting 35 passengers who boarded the flight. Since it was a red-eye flight, most passengers slept through the flight and everything went smooth as usual. Before landing, they recounted the passengers however only to come up with 34.
They thought the passenger was in the bathroom and actually checked but it was empty. They eventually figured that it was the man who was seated in the rear of the plane. A FA even recounted having a conversation with him about the man’s wife and 2 daughters. When they landed they notify airport security and checked the flight checked in back at SFO and their information only registered 34 people as well.
What in the world was going on here? Another eerie report was related to me directly after an article I did on Haunted Flight 401, a notoriously haunted plane. He claims that he had been on a not very full flight from Denver to New York and that the person sitting next to him seemed to be feeling very ill. He describes her as a lone elderly woman with an old fashioned shawl on, and that she had thick dark circles under her eyes and a sickly pallor to her complexion. As the flight went on she just sat there looking straight ahead, but he could see that she was looking worse and worse. He claims:
This lady was looking pretty ill from the get-go, to the point that I was surprised they had even allowed her on the plane for such a long flight. But after we took off she looked like hell warmed over. She could barely sit up straight, she was almost a yellow color, dark bags under her eyes, and her eyes almost seemed to be bulging from her head. At one point I asked her if she needed any help, but she just kept staring ahead and ignored me completely. Finally, she struggled to her feet and sort of stumbled off towards the lavatory, and that’s when I went to tell a flight attendant about this sickly old lady. I told her I didn’t think this lady was doing so hot, and she goes back to the lavatory to check on her. When the flight attendant came back she told me that there was no one in the lavatory and no sign of the lady matching my description anywhere on the plane. For the rest of the flight I didn’t see her again, and I haven’t ever been able to explain it since.
