Just finished reading a thoroughly satisfying book called
"Echoes in the Air" by Jack Currie, a former wartime RAF bomber pilot.
The book covers many strange stories of events and appearances by ghostly spirits or forces that have appeared or acted over the years. Many of these have occured at wartime airfields or in buildings (hangars that noone will enter after dark due to pure fear, the wet splosh of a WW 2 fighter pilot's feet in a barrack room in the 1970's, control towers where telephones are thrown of their hooks, etc).
One chapter covered the ghost of a crew member of an Eastern Airlines L-1011 Tristar that crashed into the Florida Everglades in 1972. It is said that the ghost appeared in Eastern's L-1011's whenever there was trouble, alerting crews and engineers to danger and saving lives in the process.
A very eerie read, makes you wonder about many of the old aerodromes from which many of us operate from today, and the stories they hold within them.
Have any PPRuNe readers ever witnessed any strange 'paranormal' events in aviation?
