TAPS investigates the Star of India and the steam ship Berkeley in this episode. I was excited because I have seen both ships in San Diego. The Star of India which was built at The Isle of Man in 1863 is currently residing, along with the Berkeley, as part of San Diego's maritime museum. Reports on the Star of India include objects that move, footsteps, apparitions and parties are heard. Now we know, spirits like to party too! People also report getting S's drawn on their backs. The history of the ship shows that a stowaway liked to play tag by drawing S's on the backs of people with his finger.
The steam ship Berkeley, which is next to the Star of India, has reports of footsteps, apparitions and a stall in the ladies room that locks itself. Privacy please! The Berkeley is first on the list. J&G go on board first and immediately hear footsteps. They send in Steve & Tango next and Tango gets sea sick. They find high EMF readings which would explain the feelings of dread that get reported. Steve can't keep his hands off of the ships bells and keeps ringing them.J&G go on board the Star of India to do EVP work and hear voices and feel the deck creak like someone walking. They continue to hear footsteps then start seeing shadows. J&G send in Steve and Tango to see if they experience the same things. They don't but Kris & Amy see a shadow. Nothing was found on the Berkeley but the Star of India yielded several EVPs one of which is a voice that says "get off my ship". Thermal camera catches what looks like someone kneeling down and a gate that moved on it's own against the list to port (that's sailor talk for the ship was leaning the other way). Jason pronounces the Berkeley not haunted but says there is paranormal activity aboard the Star of India. Double D
