Ghosts of a Giant

By Thomas Cannon & Rebekah Ontiveros & Olivia Kitt

On the 15 of April, 1912, a massive ship called the Titanic slammed into an ice burg, killing 1,517 people. The tragedy sent shock throughout the nation. When the Titanic was created, it was considered invincible, because of it's massive size. With its huge accident, the titanic brought many new ghost stories. One of these stories was the story of Molly "unsinkable" Brown, who is said to have lived through the titanic crash. Now their are reports of her haunting her house. A funeral home that housed some of the people who died on the maiden voyage of the Titanic, strange things started happening when the funeral home was turned into a restaurant. The workers at the restaurant called the Five Fishermen Restaurant report strange, but common occurrences of glass flying off of shelves. Manager Gary MacDonald has a saying about the ghosts which is, "You must acknowledge them or they will pull stunts." What do you think? In 2008 the Alanta Constitution Journal published a story about Goergia Aquarium after the "Titanic Aquatic" was feartured there. Several aquarium members reported feeling depressed, or nauseated when they approached the displays of the ship. A man name Jaime Rodriguez and his family saw multiple appearances of the ghost of a guy named Dr. Dodge. Dr. Dodge was a survivor of the titanic who shot himself because of depression. Dr. Dodge and his family made it back to shore, but the people were skeptical of his survival, because he escaped with nothing but a cold. People started to accuse him of things, and eventually he could take it no longer, he went into his cellar, and shot himself in the side of the head. The Rodriguez family had been seeing the ghost for ten years, and until they finally spoke to him did he go away. Now his story has faded away, and they have not seen him since.With all of these creepy stories, many questions are to be asked, "Is it true?", "What are the ghosts doing?", and "Where did they come from?", but these questions may never be answered. EVER.
