NASA Launch Complex 34 Believed To Be Haunted

Decommissioned Site Of Apollo 1 Fire In 1967

It is one of the true tragedies of the U.S. Space Program. On January 27, 1967, Astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee died in a fire aboard the Apollo 1 capsule at launch complex 34 at Cape Canaveral.

The Huffington Post reports that the site, which has since been abandoned by NASA but which is on the tour of the Kennedy Space Center, is thought to be haunted, perhaps by the spirits of the three astronauts.

Some NASA employees who have visited the site after dark say they have heard screams at the site, as well as an "overall dark feeling" near the pad. Locals say that NASA for a time stopped allowing visitors on the site due to "strange occurrences."

Apollo 1 was to have been the first manned flight of the Apollo program. The fire uncovered serious design flaws in the Apollo capsule that were corrected before the first manned flight took place some 20 months after the fire.
