Divers Share True Tales of Underwater Ghosts | Mysterious Universe
<blockquote><img class="aligncenter" src="http://ontarioexploration.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/truk_lagoon_trucks-570x380.jpg" alt="" width="570" height="380" /><img class="aligncenter" src="http://ontarioexploration.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/truk_lagoon-585x306.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="306" />Spooky stories abound about spirits in gloomy castles and crumbling, old mansions, but tales of underwater ghosts are far less common. However, they do exist. Here are five true tales from real-life scuba divers. The Paranormal Divers Paranormal investigators are a dime a dozen, but Florida’s Paranormal Divers aren’t your typical ghost hunters. The world’s first underwater paranormal investigation team has searched for spirits in just about every type of water there is and have had a few eerie experiences along the way. In one expedition, the Paranormal Divers spotted “a weird unexplained light phenomenon” in the water under Tampa’s Sunshine Skyway Bridge. The original Skyway collapsed in 1980, sending 35 motorists plunging to their death. The bridge is also a popular site for suicides. Over 200 people have jumped to their death since the new span’s construction in 1987, and one man was forced to leap at gunpoint. Could these deaths have something to do with the strange lights?

The term was coined in 1996 by Glasgow Caledonian University Professors John Lennon and Malcolm Foley to describe the trend of tourists flocking to sites associated with death, disaster and depravity. In a paper published in the International Journal Of Heritage that year, they noted that the number of dark tourists was growing exponentially.Today, dark tourism is thriving, according to an article in the latest edition of Lonely Planet’s Bluelist 2007. Across the globe, a cottage industry of tour operators has sprouted to take travellers on guided trips to graveyards, torture chambers, battlefields and sites of gruesome crimes. But don’t feel bad about visiting these ‘dark’ places as many are deemed innocent, harmless and educational.
