I read once that the ghost of the (male) co-pilot of one of the pioneer "aviatrixes" (Amelia Earhart, as I recall) appeared to a friend who was at the time in a ship on the high seas. Said ghost confessed that they had missed their landfall, were desperately short of fuel, and in dire straits. He then disappeared. This was all at the time later evidence suggests the aviator was indeed in dire straits, but of course long before it was common knowledge. Has anyone else come across this story?
