Ghost stories aboard USS Midway

The USS Midway (CV-41) is a decommissioned aircraft carrier permanently berthed as the USS Midway Museum at San Diego’s downtown harbor. Visitors, tour groups, and some former crew members have reported alleged ghost sightings, unexplained footsteps, and voices aboard the ship, making it part of local maritime folklore. The museum hosts public and after-hours events, and the carrier often appears on lists of San Diego’s haunted sites. Reports of paranormal activity on the Midway are anecdotal and remain disputed.
