The Haunted History Of The USS COD Submarine

Join us aboard the HAUNTED USS COD, and learn about her stories of battle during WWII. Hear the tragic story of Andrew Johnson who lost his life on board after racing to put out a fire caused by an exploding torpedo. Do spirits still linger on this vessel under the murky water of Lake Erie? You be the judge!

I would not be brave enough to go through the inside but glad you did. The tour was amazing.

I hadn’t been through since I was a lot smaller and that was with pop. So the fact that he was able to do it should give you some idea of what year it was! Sometime in the 90’s 😂

Actually found this video whilst searching for a different submarine. That being the Dutch submarine 019 which also happens to have a place within USS COD’s own story.
On the 8th July 1945, whilst making her way to the Philippines, 019 accidentally ran aground on a reef. USS COD was sent out immediately to rescue the beleaguered Dutch submarine and her crew, however she ultimately wasn’t able to save the 019 from her predicament.
After taking her crew off (this being the only international submarine-to-submarine rescue operation in history by the way), USS COD had to sadly scuttle the 019 to stop her from falling into enemy hands.
The martini you see on the conning tower of USS COD is to commemorate the rescue of the 019’s crew and the subsequent party the Dutch crew held for the crew of the USS COD for saving them - which just so happened to coincide with the end of the war.
I’m told it was one Hell of a party.

That’s absolutely incredible. I didn’t know that story at all. This is why I make videos like this because I undoubtedly meet someone who has more to the story and can shed a little more light on a piece of history. Thanks for sharing!

Just got your channel in the recommended. Looks interesting

[@OddityAcres]

That’s awesome! I’m glad TH-cam is suggesting us. Thanks for checking our channel out!

[@stephendrebo]

I wanna check this place out! 6'4 me is feeling claustrophobic already. Love the video!

[@OddityAcres]

You’d love it man! It’s seriously cool. Super underrated Cleveland adventure that more people should be aware of.

[@stephendrebo]

Also never been in a submarine other than the one at Disneyland... does that count? We went fully under water.

[@OddityAcres]

I think that counts lol kinda.

Nice production ... but our sub isn't "haunted."
However, the very powerful and ever-present positive spiritual force is a factor in our successful project. We get help from above!

It’s a great project and such a wonderful gem in the city. The opportunity to step aboard and explore a piece of history is incredible. There are however a lot of sources online and otherwise that talk about possible paranormal anomalies. But to each their own. We enjoyed sharing all the stories and bringing attention to an amazing attraction in the city. Thanks for watching and having us on board!
