Unlock the Secrets: USS Yorktown Paranormal Investigation in Mount Pleasant, SC

Q: What equipment is provided?

All paranormal investigation tools such as K2 meters, ghost grids, spirit boxes, and EVP recorders are included in the tour.

The USS Yorktown, docked at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, is more than a historic aircraft carrier—it’s a site whispered to hold stories beyond the realm of the living. This 2-hour USS Yorktown Paranormal Investigation offers a rare chance to explore parts of the ship that remain largely unrestored and closed off to the public. Known affectionately as 'The Fighting Lady,' the Yorktown played a crucial role in World War II naval battles, and many believe the echoes of its fallen crew still linger within its steel corridors. On this unique adventure, participants will step into the shadowed corners of the ship, equipped with expert-grade paranormal devices such as K2 meters, ghost grids, spirit boxes, and EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) recorders. This isn’t a passive tour—it's an interactive investigation designed for those eager to connect with the mysterious past of the vessel and its veteran crew.

Situated in the Charleston Harbor, the Yorktown’s vast decks and narrow passageways provide an ideal setting for ghost hunting. The ship’s unrestored zones add an authentic edge to the experience, offering a tangible glimpse into mid-20th-century naval life while sparking the imagination with unseen presences. Navigating ladders and stairways tests even seasoned explorers, giving a physically engaging dimension to this paranormal hunt. Whether you are a dedicated ghost hunter or fascinated by naval history, this trip combines both disciplines seamlessly.

This investigation stands out as a distinctive part of Mount Pleasant’s outdoor recreation scene because it blends maritime history with the thrill of the unexplained, tucked within a broader context of heritage preservation. The USS Yorktown was commissioned in 1943, fought valiantly in significant Pacific battles, and now serves as a National Historic Landmark, drawing thousands of visitors each year. However, few get to experience the ship behind the scenes, especially through the lens of paranormal study.

Visitors are advised to wear closed-toe shoes and long pants as the ship’s interior is rugged and requires careful movement. The experience is suited for adults 17 years and older due to the physical and thematic intensity. In Mount Pleasant, travelers can easily access this extraordinary ghost hunt while enjoying the rich history and coastal charm of the Charleston area.

Whether you’re chasing spirits or history itself, the USS Yorktown Paranormal Investigation offers a gripping adventure into the unknown—a rare fusion of military legacy and spectral intrigue that beckons the brave and curious alike.
