USS Constitution reported hauntings

The USS Constitution, berthed at the Charlestown Navy Yard, appears on many local ghost tours and in media accounts where crew members, volunteers, and visitors have reported unexplained footsteps, disembodied voices, and fleeting apparitions aboard the ship. Stories often link these experiences to sailors who served in the 18th and 19th centuries. These accounts are frequently repeated in tour literature and local press but remain anecdotal and debated rather than empirically verified.
