I went to the Lex with the Bastrop High School NJROTC program back in 2009. Verrrrryyyy creepy ship. :/
Lots of paranormal activity, and one of our cadets at the time reported that the spirit, “Charly” awoke her out of a deep sleep. Several other cadets witnessed and heard things as well. I didn’t get an inch of sleep staying on that ship, and I certainly knew there were spirits there. Places that creeped me out were sick bay, the barber shop, dentist office, the chapel, and the engine room. In the engine room, as I was going down the stairs I could not breathe and felt like something was at the top of the stairs, looking down at me. And in the chapel, the bible laying on the pedistal had pages turning in it without any explanation. :/
Nine cadets witnessed this (including me) during a scavenger hunt we were doing late at night. I still think about the Lex and it creeps me out to this very day.

I served on the Lex from 1971-1975, I was a Storekeeper (SK).
Late one night I had to go to a store room, I was by myself, as I was leaving, I felt a very cold chill run down my back, I was sure someone was watching/following me- it really put some fear into me- I felt like it followed me all down the passageway, so I took off running- this is the only time I’ve had that feeling-

I don’t believe in this sort of thing, but the Lexington is undoubtedly creepy. My great-grandpa served on this ship, so we like to visit it a lot. Areas where tourists don’t go are unlit, so you can be going down to the lower areas and see to your right a creepy dark long narrow hall. Have you ever sat in a dark room and had your imagination go a little too wild? It’s like that. I find the medical bay and the display with the dining sets especially creepy.

I went aboard the USS Lexington in 1978, I talked at several people with whom I thought were solid til they walked off thru a bulkhead. After the third one in a flight suit, my friends and I decided to get back on shore. Next time I go aboard, I’ll be taking a dry erase board to ask questions.
