Wild Goose – Newport, CA
The Wild Goose is a luxury yacht that seems to be haunted by its previous owner, actor John Wayne. The legendary cowboy movie-star owned the 140-foot converted minesweeper for 25 years. The yacht is said to be his favorite posssion. Just a month before his death, he personally supervised its sale to ensure that the boat found a good home.
In August 1979, shortly after Wayne’s death, the yacht’s new owner Lynn Hutchins reported seeing a tall, smiling aparition in the doorway to the master bath and in the main salon and has felt his presence on many occasions.
Another person reported seeing his ghost in the glass mirror behind the bar as beer glasses rattled. Appearances have continued at random times, day and night. A psychic who investigated the incidents said that Duke’s spirit was returning because of his “deep emotional attachment” to the vessel. Newport is south of Long Beach on Highway 1.
