Psychic Tour Guide Leaves Queen Mary

Erika Frost, whom was formerly known for being the tour guide of the Psychic and Paranormal tours at the Queen Mary since 2004 has left her position and moved onto bigger gigs. Frost, who had previously been seen on various television and radio shows such as, "Ghost Hunters," "Tyra Banks" and "Coast to Coast AM with George Norry" is currently filming a pilot of her own. The pilot, which is about her ghost investigations is said to air by the end of the year. "We hope people are not too disappointed with Erika Frost's absence," said her replacement tour guide, whom chose to remain anonymous. "She will not be returning to do the tours and many times travelers that come to stay aboard the Queen Mary ask specifically for her."

While some visitors do not mind the change, the promise of a true paranormal experience with the help of a psychic has some frequent guests disagreeing and believe the $50 entrance fee is outrageous. "Maybe these people waiting here should receive more for their money," said Don Staggs, the founder of the Orange County Ghost Hunters investigation team. "It's just crazy. Maybe I should wait in the lobby after the paranormal tours so that the people actually get the experience they want and the service the Queen Mary promised to provide when they purchased their tickets."

Staggs, a known face around the Queen Mary's paranormal tours disagrees with the way they are currently being run. He also claims people will experience more paranormal activity spending a few minutes with him and his investigation tools than on the Queen Mary's two hour tour. "We received a lot of EVPs and interaction on our meters in the kitchen," said Staggs. "That was when we were on our own and not with the tour guide anymore."

Many passengers complained of the lack of a psychic guide and feel the entrance fee is overpriced. "It's unfair that the Queen Mary still makes it seem as though Erika Frost will be leading the tour, but they did inform us before we bought the tickets," said Blanca Granados, a recent guest on the paranormal tour. "It was still pretty good and it was refreshing that the new tour guide is unbiased."

What Granados meant when she said the new tour guide is "unbiased" is that she claims to have no psychic abilities. "I am not like Erika Frost and I do not pretend to be," said Frost's replacement. "I have been going along with her on her tours for the last two years and the things I have experienced while on them, I cannot explain because I am a skeptic and won't claim them as the paranormal until I have solid proof.I know the history behind the ship and that is what I can provide passengers."
Here is one of the many EVP sessions conducted at the Queen Mary during their haunted tours.
