He offered another photo; this time, she disappeared.

What if you see a ghost without knowing it?In the case ofSecond Officer Leonard Bishop of the SSWinterhaven, that was exactly what happened. In 1977, he gave a tour of the ship to a man who he assumed was a passenger. The British man spoke softly and showed great interest in every detail of the vessel, almost too much. Bishop found the man odd—not bad, just strange.

It wasn't until years later, after seeing a photo ofTitanicCaptain Edward John Smith that Bishop understood why things felt wrong. Bishop told a friend, "I know him; I toured him on my boat!" The friend laughed and told Bishop the man was long dead: "That man was the captain of theTitanic"!
