I was speaking to someone yesterday who mentioned she was an Eastern flight attendant once. I asked her if she ever heard of Flight 401 and she told me she was one of the flight attendants who saw Repo in the lower galley on an L-1011. She knew the whole story and said the sightings ended only after a seance was done. I was thinking the whole time "why do the seance?" Let them hang-out if they want. Small world.
@robertovz Well i guess i am a man of science and there has never been one single piece of testable evidence so all leads to there not being any ghosts and just for one minute imagine there was,an eternity stuck haunting a house.....its just laughable really isnt it?
@dilwich123 I understand your point and i must say i am a man of science myself and just in my opinion i think science and anything beyond go hand in hand more than most people can understand right now. I also believe its much more complicated than what people seem to perceive such as "ghosts" or "haunting". Just throwing that out there. I wasn't trying to be mean but i just didn't want people to limit themselves and i know i sound kooky but it comes with the package:)
@berry0201 Yes,i'm kind of big on needing evidence before i believe such outrageous claims ;) And by the way I've never seen Santa but i know he doesnt excist. :)
Well, I wouldn't put santa and ghosts in the same category. :) The word ghost is a little wrong, since people are told from an early age that such things don't exist. It's just a little off-putting word to some. Ghosts are spirits that are left behind for a reson, and many times people on earth have a mission to take them forward. Souls of people visit us sometimes as well, giving us messages and comfort. Souls don't "haunt". And it is a very common and ordinary phenomenon. :)
Bob Loft and his family lived in Miami Shores, across the alley from my dads house. I was just a kid growing up but remember him as a nice man, an avid hunter, and owning hunting dogs who were always getting out and knocking over our trash cans. His elderly father would drive over to visit in a 1930s or so green coupe that i guess he had since new. I don't know if he was alive when the crash happened, but if so it would have done him in.
what they should have done was take out the light bulb that wasnt lighting up and put it into one of the other switches that WAS lighting up , and if the bulb lit up then the problem is something else
@MrCohibaboy no doubt its one of the first things u learn as a chief assigned to a jet..and most if not all pilots can trouble shot in the same manner u just described..hell the first words out their month is chief we already switched the buld or swaped the light to c if its working properly
Maybe the ghost remained because he was certain it was a mechanical failure, and now hes trying to investigate what caused it until he finds out it was a mix of a tumor and a faulty light bulb and only then will he leave earth and go wherever the after life will bring him.
its abit like driving your car and trying to get at the interior light at the same time trying to to see if the bulb has blown ... oh hang on thats right im driving oh shit tree!!!
@lacosto wrong... it was the captains fault cause he touched the control column of the aircraft and disconnected de autopilot. Thats why the aircraft started a smooth descend and no one noticed cause they were trying to fix the nose gear position indicator light.
@CAMELLOBORRACHO I say it's the instructors fault cuz they didn't know about that (touching the yoke will turn off they altitude holder) till another co-pilot who flown the aircraft told investigators that he experienced the same problem but he immediately noticed that the altitude holder switch was turned off.
@maynardthepilot I guess we two agree what the other says. I agree with you aswell. But the cause of the accident... the physical cause... was what i said.
@PilotRyanProductions if you watch air crash investigation the parts where in so good condition they where put on other planes. i whant the parts to see and prove if they are hanted
You want a complete freak out? I was plane watching at MIA that night and saw that 1011 make a low pass over the runway and then disappear. I didn't realize until the next morning what I had witnessed! Ghosts or no ghosts, that was damned spooky...
No, Loft and Stockstill were not the only ones who died. Don Repo was in the avionics bay when 401 crashed. He survived the initial crash but later died from his injuries in a hospital.
I believe that the accident did weigh heavily on these poor guys' conscience, so they felt it necessary to watch out for the passengers and crew on other Eastern L-1011 flights.
PLEASE DONT READ THIS! in 1971 a guy named Kyle an his girlfriend Emily were in a house that was said to claim peoples lives if they entered the house. the next morning a guy named Alex saw fingernail marks on the door. if you dont post this to 5 videos, youll be getting a visit from Kyle and Emily tonight! WARNING this has been proved to be real, i value my life! whoever reads this may god be with you I TRULY DO APOLOGIZE!!! PS i got this from another vid i am not takeing any chances
I remember this story from when I read about it from a book as a kid. One account claimed Don Repo telling the witness that they wouldn't let any more of these kinds of planes go down again. Interesting isn't it?
i read it too. Yeah your right, Don Repo told the witnesses that those kind of planes wouldnt crash again.Also i heard some people aboard the L-1011 have seen Bob Loft sitting in a passenger seat a year after his death. But then disappeared before there very eyes! Creepy huh!. :&
One flight attendant went to prep the lower galley and saw a flight engineer working on a broken oven. Later a mechanic showed up and she told him the other engineer fixed it. He said that was impossible since he was the only one on duty. When shown a photo she identified Repo as the man who fixed the oven. Repo would appear in the oven and even spoke from it. On one flight the cockpit crew heard knocking from the avionics pit. When they opened the hatch they saw Repo looking back up at them.
The ghosts from this flight are a strong and strange modern day case of apparitions. The fact the spirits are connected to the airplane parts speaks of some sort of paranormal connection between beings and material properties. Only God knows how we get locked into things that surround us but this case suggests a relationship. I just read that ground crews saw Loft do a walk-around and then disappear while climbing the steps. Others sat next to him in First Class. A manager even spoke to him.

Want to fly sky high? Fly in Air France, Air Yemenia, American airlines, Caspian Airways and Helios Airways flight 522--- they are the safest. Why ? you may even fly straight to HEAVEN!
The parts were not airworthy, only items like galley parts, ovens etc. Air Canada had a report of seeing the ghost and only after some checking was it known that a couple of the ovens were on that aircraft. Ovens often would be used by other airlines when they traded parts. The movie stated that Don's voice was on the voice recorder, that was not true as far as I know but he did say to a pilot that Eastern would never lose another 1011. there were a couple of times they came very close.
Bob and Don survived the empact, The co pilot died instantly upon empact and oddly enough he was the only flight crew member strapped in to his seat properly. Bob died in the cockpit shortly after the empact and Don Repo died in a hospitaly hours later. I am not so arrogant that I would rule out any super natural events, to many people witnessed something and the author only talked to about 10% of the crewmembers who experienced soemthing. Eastern threatened to send anyone to a shrink who did.
Don Repo died in the Hospital, Loft survived the empact but died shortly later but did say a few words to the Coast Guard person who arrived at the cockpit. The co pilot died instantly and he was the only crew member who had his seatbelt and shoulder harness on. back and he hit the flight engineer's instrument panel and died instantly.
Now that they mention it, I remember watching a Tristar plane with the box recorder of the 401 to reconstruct what happen. Then the pilot of the Tristar suddenly drop his map and when he pick it, he bump the stir wheel thing. Then, because of this, the pilot reported similar finding to what happened to 401. Something tells me that it is the ghost of the 401 pilots communicated with the Tristar pilot because he has the box recorder. Now with this,it could happen to other planes who has the parts.
haha thanks. Well jeez, I've seen nearly every air crash investigation show made and this one was by far the STUPIDEST one.
"O HAI GUIZE that der light bulb is out on the light thingy. Clearly this is a job for three people and is far more important then keeping the plane in the air. HURR DURR"
hahaha dumb yes very i think i kinda got dumber by watching it dunno where u get it but ur a funny kid................and to all idiots were not making fun of the loss of life but just of the dumb decision making.
Yes, it was bad CRM but back then, they didn't really have CRM. The Captain was the end all be all. They put waay too much trust into their autopilot and were out of the Everglades. They had no horizon so they had no reference outside. I've flown pattens at airports near the beach at night with no horizon and it's pretty damn creepy. It was a bad mistake but don't be a dick.
I was a an F/a w EAL for 17 yrs. and we had many well documented incidents on the 1011 with Don Repo. There was even one reported on the news in Miami in the 80's, on an incident with a EAL 1011 losing all 3 engines and landing safely. Very true.
I read the Ghosts of Flight 401 in the summer of 1987 while sitting in my dorm room that had once been one the barracks belonging to nWalker Air Force Base located outside the city of Roswell New Mexico. Never saw any green men but the girls dormitory was haunted and so was the swimming pool area according to security who had once called the Roswell city police in to investigate what sounded like drunks calling cadence by the aforementioned pool area. The searched and found no one.
Yes, the accident of EAL flight 401 happened on 29 December 1972, the book mentioned here, in some of the other comments, is by John Fuller, "The Ghost of Flight 401," a fascinating book, and a fun read. I'm not sure if it's still in print, but your local library would likely have a copy. A relative of mine was a Flight Attendant with EA for many years - I heard the stories first-hand and couldn't wait to read the book.
Just finished reading it. Got a 2nd hand copy (in excellent condition) through Amazon. I live in Australia and it would probably be the only way I could get my hands on it.
Yes, thanks for reminding about Amazon and being able to get out of print books that way as well. The late John G. Fuller was a tireless investigator and a wonderful writer as well - if you're interested, he also wrote, "The Interrupted Journey" and "Incident at Exeter," which were both written in the 1960's, and deal with UFO's. Both are considered to be classics in the field. Take care!
I was watching this crash on Air Crash Investigation. There was so many reports of ghost sightings, Eastern Airlines removed the re-used parts of airlines and replaced them with new ones, and all the ghost sightings stopped
From what I have seen and read both Bob Loft and Don Repo were really nice guys and people who knew them believed it entirely possible that they felt responsible for watching over planes with salvaged parts but even though they were nice guys for some reason their pictures give me the creeps, and I am not easily scared!
the old eastern airlines building was on 36th st in miami fl in miami springs on lejune rd.i use to work for american airlines, i talked to guys who worked for eastern, and some who were there that night. and they said the 3rd floor in the old eastern building, is where loft and repo were seen. people would not go up there at night, this is a true story.
I have a ghost story too. A beer can was made from scrapped metal from a car from some lethal accident. And then some guy bought that beer can and put it into his fridge at home. And since that moment very scary things started to happen.
Actually many air line pessengers have seen those ghost figures , so can't deny at all. There are supernatural beings out there and not everybody witnesses and not everybody believes.. :O
tell that to all the people who viewed them. I mean if it was just people who knew them, you could say imagination was the cause. THe fact is many who had no idea of them would see them. Than when someone showed them pictures, they said it was them. People are quick to say things don't happen when they lack knowledge. Lots of people use to say the Earth was flat, period. you should open your mind up.
I understand what your saying, but I simply do not believe in ghosts. I don't believe supernatural beings exist, and that will never change. So a few people say they saw something. It is easy to see things that aren't really there in the dim light of an aircraft. Trust me, I've flown many times. The thought of the accident scares people and brings 'scary' images to their minds. That's all, it's all in their heads. Ghosts do not exist.
well fucking said man. It's crazy how people don't use critical thinking, and use logic. I mean why didn't they get save? that isn't fair at all. They have to die in a fucked up way, and then "come back to save others" that wouldn't be fair. There are no ghosts, gods, or shit like that. Bad things happen, good things happen. Indifferent, with no point. This was very sad tragedy but all the ghost crap is all wishful thinking, and human imagination. Just like people saying Elvis is alive!..
I like your part about Elvis but for the rest I only can say, there is more in life then we know and dare to admit. How many stories are out there about ghost? Already since the start of ages. In my opinion it COULD be that a spirit who suddenly died cannot always accept that fact. By investigating all the stories that I heared and read I keep my mind open for this tought. I think its a VERY intresting story.
I agree with what you say here, but it's also a big part of what people believe in. If they believe in ghosts and things like that, then it would be easy for them to believe they saw the ghosts of the pilots.
what about people that report seeing Elvis alive? Is it ok for them too? is it just their opinion? or is it not a fact that his dead and people that report seeing him, or ghost are delusional?
Debating the existence of ghosts is as pointless as shooting clouds. You either believe or you don't and no amount of discussion will change that.

I am not so arrogant that I would rule out any super natural events, to many people witnessed something and the author only talked to about 10% of the crewmembers who experienced soemthing. Eastern threatened to send anyone to a shrink who did.

Don Repo died in the Hospital, Loft survived the empact but died shortly later but did say a few words to the Coast Guard person who arrived at the cockpit. The co pilot died instantly and he was the only crew member who had his seatbelt and shoulder harness on. back and he hit the flight engineer's instrument panel and died instantly.

Now that they mention it, I remember watching a Tristar plane with the box recorder of the 401 to reconstruct what happen. Then the pilot of the Tristar suddenly drop his map and when he pick it, he bump the stir wheel thing. Then, because of this, the pilot reported similar finding to what happened to 401. Something tells me that it is the ghost of the 401 pilots communicated with the Tristar pilot because he has the box recorder. Now with this,it could happen to other planes who has the parts.

Yes, it was bad CRM but back then, they didn't really have CRM. The Captain was the end all be all. They put waay too much trust into their autopilot and were out of the Everglades. They had no horizon so they had no reference outside. I've flown pattens at airports near the beach at night with no horizon and it's pretty damn creepy. It was a bad mistake but don't be a dick.

I was a an F/a w EAL for 17 yrs. and we had many well documented incidents on the 1011 with Don Repo. There was even one reported on the news in Miami in the 80's, on an incident with a EAL 1011 losing all 3 engines and landing safely. Very true.

I read the Ghosts of Flight 401 in the summer of 1987 while sitting in my dorm room that had once been one the barracks belonging to nWalker Air Force Base located outside the city of Roswell New Mexico. Never saw any green men but the girls dormitory was haunted and so was the swimming pool area according to security who had once called the Roswell city police in to investigate what sounded like drunks calling cadence by the aforementioned pool area. The searched and found no one.

It was December 1972, wasn't it? I want to track down the book about this...
Hepzn 3 years ago
Yes, the accident of EAL flight 401 happened on 29 December 1972, the book mentioned here, in some of the other comments, is by John Fuller, "The Ghost of Flight 401," a fascinating book, and a fun read. I'm not sure if it's still in print, but your local library would likely have a copy. A relative of mine was a Flight Attendant with EA for many years - I heard the stories first-hand and couldn't wait to read the book.

Just finished reading it. Got a 2nd hand copy (in excellent condition) through Amazon. I live in Australia and it would probably be the only way I could get my hands on it.
Hepzn 3 years ago
Yes, thanks for reminding about Amazon and being able to get out of print books that way as well. The late John G. Fuller was a tireless investigator and a wonderful writer as well - if you're interested, he also wrote, "The Interrupted Journey" and "Incident at Exeter," which were both written in the 1960's, and deal with UFO's. Both are considered to be classics in the field. Take care!

From what I have seen and read both Bob Loft and Don Repo were really nice guys and people who knew them believed it entirely possible that they felt responsible for watching over planes with salvaged parts but even though they were nice guys for some reason their pictures give me the creeps, and I am not easily scared!

I have a ghost story too. A beer can was made from scrapped metal from a car from some lethal accident. And then some guy bought that beer can and put it into his fridge at home. And since that moment very scary things started to happen.

I know for a fact they reuse and salvage old plane parts in new planes.
And if they don't anymore, they use too.
I have a relative who is a pilot.

I believe in this particular story.
There is too much info about it. Very creepy. How can pilots haunt microwaves and plane parts, weird.
But the fact they saved an aircraft or two, by warning them. taht gives me pause. Maybe it's real.
sunclov 3 years ago
It's a horrible thing that the pilots died. But ghosts do not exist.
Ryan6801 3 years ago
tell that to all the people who viewed them. I mean if it was just people who knew them, you could say imagination was the cause. THe fact is many who had no idea of them would see them. Than when someone showed them pictures, they said it was them. People are quick to say things don't happen when they lack knowledge. Lots of people use to say the Earth was flat, period. you should open your mind up.
juliet97 3 years ago 3
I understand what your saying, but I simply do not believe in ghosts. I don't believe supernatural beings exist, and that will never change. So a few people say they saw something. It is easy to see things that aren't really there in the dim light of an aircraft. Trust me, I've flown many times. The thought of the accident scares people and brings 'scary' images to their minds. That's all, it's all in their heads. Ghosts do not exist.
Ryan6801 3 years ago
well fucking said man. It's crazy how people don't use critical thinking, and use logic. I mean why didn't they get save? that isn't fair at all. They have to die in a fucked up way, and then "come back to save others" that wouldn't be fair. There are no ghosts, gods, or shit like that. Bad things happen, good things happen. Indifferent, with no point. This was very sad tragedy but all the ghost crap is all wishful thinking, and human imagination. Just like people saying Elvis is alive!..

Ryan6801 3 years ago
I like your part about Elvis but for the rest I only can say, there is more in life then we know and dare to admit. How many stories are out there about ghost? Already since the start of ages. In my opinion it COULD be that a spirit who suddenly died cannot always accept that fact. By investigating all the stories that I heared and read I keep my mind open for this tought. I think its a VERY intresting story.
carfoz 3 years ago
I agree with what you say here, but it's also a big part of what people believe in. If they believe in ghosts and things like that, then it would be easy for them to believe they saw the ghosts of the pilots.
SableSpike747 2 years ago
what about people that report seeing Elvis alive? Is it ok for them too? is it just their opinion? or is it not a fact that his dead and people that report seeing him, or ghost are delusional?
Omid45 2 years ago
That's true...
I know that people claim to see Elvis alive all the time. I dunno, I guess I thought the people in an air crash were different?
But I've heard people say that Kurt Cobain isn't dead, either.
