Haunted Facts:
The Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is the second busiest airport in Georgia. Even amidst the bustle and commotion, pilots and airport staff talk about strange unexplained ghost sightings. The story goes that if you land shortly after sundown, two figures will become manifest along the north side of the runway. This could be because there are two graves embedded in the airport’s runway! The graves of Richard and Catherine Dotson (former owners of the land where the airport now stands) are clearly visible to passengers and pilots. A photograph of these graves is even included on the airport’s website.
O’Hare Airport seems to be a hotbed of mysteries. “Why doesn’t O’Hare have a terminal 4? There’s Terminals 1, 2, 3, and 5”. “Why are the flights at O’Hare always so late?” These are the more mundane among them. The hauntings in and around O’Hare Airport do have a slightly more tragic and poignant background, though. On May 25, 1979, American Airlines Flight 191, a DC 10 plane, crashed less than a mile from the end of the runway, killing all passengers and crew on board. Soon after, inhabitants of a nearby trailer park have claimed that ghosts came to their doors looking for missing luggage. Ghostly apparitions and figures have also been seen in the field where Flight 191 crashed. To this day, some lone souls still walk around where they met their untimely demise. (source)
