The Cutty Sark, a British clipper ship built in 1869, now rests in dry dock in Greenwich, London. During her active years, she primarily transported tea from China and wool from Australia. The ship faced several misfortunes, including a mutiny, the mysterious death of her captain, and a devastating fire in 2007 during restoration work.

According to documented ghost stories, the Cutty Sark is haunted by the spirits of her former crew members. Visitors and staff have reported witnessing apparitions, hearing unexplained footsteps, and experiencing sudden temperature drops. One of the most prominent ghosts is believed to be that of James Elford, a seaman who fell from the rigging and died in 1880. His spectral figure has been seen climbing the ship’s masts and wandering the decks.

Another ghostly presence is attributed to the ship’s cook, who allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in the galley. Witnesses have described the unsettling sensation of being watched and the sound of pots and pans rattling in the empty kitchen.

The Cutty Sark’s paranormal activity has been featured in various books, articles, and television programs. Psychic mediums and investigators have conducted sessions on board, attempting to communicate with the spirits and uncover the reasons behind their lingering presence. These accounts have contributed to the ship’s reputation as one of London’s most haunted locations, adding an eerie layer to her rich maritime history.
