Victims of the 1912 Titanic disaster are still haunting the artifacts retrieved from the bottom of the Atlantic
The RMS Titanic set out on its maiden voyage with an estimated 2,222 people aboard on April 10, 1912. Tragically, only 706 of those passengers would survive.
On the night of April 12, the ship struck an iceberg and sank. Those who perished in the accident suffered a terrifying and agonizing death – and any paranormal enthusiast will tell you that strong emotions paired with untimely death are key ingredients in many hauntings.

Now these pieces of history are offering a rare glimpse at what it was like to be on the massive ship and hinting at the ghostly spirits that still linger around the doomed vessel.
