The USS Salem in Quincy, MA is described as haunted due to its past service, particularly after the 1953 Ionian earthquake where it served as a hospital ship, leading to reports of unexplained phenomena like electronic voice phenomena (EVP), disembodied voices and footsteps, slamming doors, and the apparition of shadowy figures and a pack of hellhounds. Specific areas such as the third wardroom and the ship's hospital are considered particularly active, with activity including the spirit of a young Greek girl and the presence of a "hellhound" in the wardroom, and various items moving on their own in the hospital area. Unexplained voices, including a female voice telling investigators to "get out," and disembodied footsteps are frequently reported. Visitors have reported seeing mysterious figures in hallways and eerie silhouettes. A "hellhound" is said to roam the halls at night, along with a ragged pack of dogs. Doors slamming on their own, chairs being pulled out or tossed, and items falling from beds have been reported. Paranormal investigators using specialized equipment have captured electronic voice phenomena, including one of a female voice chiding the team for misplacing keys.
