Re: Titanic Myths
My personal favorite will always be the mummy, but I've always has a sneaking admiration for the Titanic _ Olympic Conspiracy folks - that one's wild even for me!

Re: Titanic Myths
Still yet another totally ludicrous one, is the claim that Will Murdoch allegedly shot himself. Now that's something I'll never believe happened. How do the rest of you feel about this?

Re: Titanic Myths
It spooked me a little to read Jade's message about someone claiming they are recieving distress signals from Titanic and that people need help down there! I know it's daft but still a little spooky don't you think?
I often wonder about the ship being cursed from the start. They say the Hull number was a sign - 390904 (spelling No Pope when read backwards in a mirror!)
Was it doomed from the start? It seems that they are many what ifs that could have saved Titanic... What if her departure date hadn't have been moved to a later date? What if she hadn't have been delayed by the near collision with the New York when departing at Southampton?
Did you hear about the engine room worker who thought it would be funny to climb one of the smoke stacks and peep his dirty little face out of the top? That scared many of the passengers who believed it was an evil sign. Lol
The one that gets me the most has to be Morgan Robertson's novel about the Titan! That's too weird!
Being serious though, some of these do make me think twice!
I know there is something about a mummy on board too, but i am unfamiliar with this one. Would you enlighten me?
Thanks, Chelle xx

Hi,
This myth holds no credence at all, as TITANIC's hull number was "401" not "390904"

Kind of funny, because this particular thing is easily checked out. Just like there being no way the Olympic and Titanic being switched could be true. All you have to do is check the hull numbers!!!!
