USS Constitution reported hauntings

The USS Constitution, docked at the Charlestown Navy Yard, has long been the subject of crew and visitor reports of unexplained sounds and sightings attributed to sailors who served aboard in the 19th century. These anecdotes are repeated in maritime histories and local lore and have been investigated by paranormal groups; they are presented as folklore and are not scientifically verified. The ship is the oldest commissioned warship afloat and remains a focal point for maritime ghost stories in Boston.
