Not trying to rain on your parade here, but...

The Mary Celeste was called a "Ghost" ship because it was found "Sailing" without a crew... I've never heard of anyone claiming that paranormal (hauntings) events were taking place on board...

We're there claims later on that the missing crew was haunting the ship?

Not sure if it would do well as a movie...

In my opinion, the Mary Celeste should have never been called a "Ghost" ship... Other ships, and planes have too... But none involved spirits roaming the decks...

"Runway" trains, such as the "CSX 8888 Incident", which took place on May 15, 2001, had no one at the controls, and it wasn't called a Ghost Train...

I have heard that there are some "genuine" Phantom ships, planes, trains, & automobiles though...

Maybe one of those?

SPOILER: Click to show

How about a sequel to "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" (1987), featuring the Ghost of Del Griffith, and his phantom vehicles, picking up Neal Page, and taking him to another Thanksgiving Dinner...

LOL!

Numerous reports have claimed that the RMS Queen Mary is haunted.

The deceased flight crew of Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 were supposedly haunting other planes that re-used salvaged parts from the crashed plane...

A movie, that starred Ernest Borgnine, called "The Ghost of Flight 401" (1978), was based on those events...

Chicago residents have reported that spirits haunt the local area where American Airlines Flight 191 crashed in 1979.

But what I had in mind for Mary Celeste was it'd be an alternate historical version like that AMC show The Terror.

The Tallman's Ghost

In early February of 1987, Alan and Debby Tallman brought home a bunk bed that they purchased at a second hand shop. They assembled the bed and stored it in their basement. When the Tallmans moved the bed upstairs in May of 1987, it marked the beginning of nine months of horror for the family....

From the moment the bed was first slept in, the house appeared to be haunted by spirits that terrorized first the children and then the entire family.

The children, who were rarely sick before, suddenly became ill for no apparent reason. The night that the family moved the beds upstairs, their son "Danny" was in the room next to it. After his parents said goodnight to him, his clock radio apparently took on a life of its own. It turned itself on and randomly switched the channels under its own power. He reported that he saw the radio's vindicator moving itself. However, his parents did not believe him.

A few weeks later, Alan was painting the walls in his basement when he went up for lunch. He placed the paint brush on the table. When he returned, the brush was in the bucket with the bristles sticking up. When the youngest daughter was sleeping in the bunk bed, she claimed that she had seen a red-eyed witch behind her door. She also claimed that she saw fire in her room. A month later, Danny saw the same thing.

The family pastor was brought in, and he felt the presence of evil inside the house. The Tallmans continued to be tormented by the entities; doors would bang open and shut, strange voices would call out of nowhere, and ghostly visions persisted. A week before Christmas, Danny again saw something horrifying and told his mother that he wanted to leave. Frustrated, Alan told the spirits to get out of his house. He then said that if they wanted to fight someone, they could fight him.

Three weeks later, at around 2AM on January 7, 1988, Alan returned home from the late shift. Outside the garage, he heard an eerie, howling sound, and went to investigate. A voice came out of the howling and said "come here". He went around the back to see if anyone was there, but there was no one. He then went back to the garage and saw that it was on fire. He went inside to get a fire extinguisher, but when he came back out, the fire was gone. The garage door was undamaged with no visible signs of recent fire consumation. When Alan got back inside, he went to reach his lunch pail that he had set down, but the entity then threw it across the room.

Alan started sleeping in his daughters' room to provide protection. One night, a fog appeared around him. A voice came out of the fog that said "You're dead". Debby then called the pastor because of what had happened to Alan. A few days later, Alan was working late and asked a relative to watch the girls. His relative was a complete skeptic, until that night. The same horrible figure seen by the children appeared, and he let out a loud scream. Debby then told the relative to get the kids together, and that they were leaving the house forever.

Two weeks later, the Tallmans had the bunk beds destroyed. Afterwards, the Tallmans had no further paranormal experiences. In April of 1988, a family moved into the Tallmans' old home and have had no haunting experiences.

Background:

The house that the Tallmans lived in had no apparent history of hauntings. Horicon, Wisconsin, is a small farming town of just 3800. It is considered a safe and prosperous place. The Tallmans moved into their house on April 13, 1986.

Investigations:

The Tallman family's pastor, Wayne Dobratz, visited them shortly after the hauntings began. He believed that they were victims of the Devil. He was certain that a Demonic presence was in their home. He found no evidence that they were fabricating the incidents.

Extra Notes:

The case was featured as a part of a Halloween episode of "Unsolved Mysteries" that aired on October 26, 1988.

The Tallmans were beset by unwanted attention as a result of earlier ghost hysteria, which they did not seek. They had turned down a lucrative tabloid offer about their experience as they did not think it right to make any money off their children's misfortune. The Tallmans agreed to share their story with Unsolved Mysteries under three conditions: they were censored during the interview, their children's names were to be protected by alias and that all reenactments of their experiences be done by actors playing the Tallman family.

The Tallman House activity was described in greater extent in the book, "Haunted America" by Michael Norman and Beth Scott, but at no time in their research do they link the hauntings to a bunk bed. The activity is instead linked to the property as being located on or near former Native American burial grounds.

This is considered one of the most frightening and well-known paranormal cases of the series.

The haunting story really creeps me out, every time I see the "Unsolved Mysteries" segment.

"a red-eyed witch behind her door. She also claimed that she saw fire in her room."

Some people believe that a spirit can haunt objects.. If that is true...

My theory is...

That a witch was burned to death, and that her spirit attached itself to a tree. The tree was cut down, and then turned into lumber, which was then used to build the bunk bed.... When the bunk bed was moved into the home, her spirit came with it... When the bed was removed from the home, again, her spirit went with it...

I do find the part about... the paint brush being placed into the paint can with the bristles sticking up... to be really funny though...

I think this haunting would make for the basis of a good movie.

One Last Thing...

"When Alan got back inside, he went to reach his lunch pail that he had set down, but the entity then threw it across the room."

If...

...An entity can throw a lunch box, across the room... It can just as easily, throw it at YOU... or throw something more dangerous at YOU...

Yes, Ghosts can "hurt" you!
