It likely all began with a prophecy made by one of the flight attendants, Doris Elliot, in December 1972. She told some of her co-workers that in a "vision" she saw a Lockheed TriStar L-1011 entering a Miami airport. She saw the plane plummet and shed one of its decks on impact. Her story included the terrifying, pleading cries (screams) of the passengers. This misfortune was to occur "during the New Year's holiday." She also prophesied to her co-workers that when they asked if they would be on duty at that time, she would reply, "No, but almost" (whatever that meant).
The cause of the accident (as is often the case with aircraft) was a long list of technical defects, in this case a faulty altitude indicator, but the crew was aware of the problem. The new crew was not familiar with the aircraft's defects, and therefore the automatic check-in system was accidentally disabled. Later, the remaining, undamaged parts of the ill-fated aircraft were used as spares in other aircraft. Parts, including the very well-preserved galley equipment, were used, for example, in aircraft number 318. Since then, strange and unexplained phenomena have occurred...
One of the vice presidents of Eastern Airlines boarded (before all the passengers) a TriStar L-1011 in New York, bound for Miami. In first class, he saw one of the Eastern Airlines captains in uniform. When he went to greet him, he recognized the deceased Bob Loft, and at that moment, the figure vanished. The vice president informed air traffic control of the incident. However, a search of the aircraft found nothing. Loft was seen again at JFK Airport, where he spoke with the pilot and two other passengers. The pilot was later so distraught that he refused to fly because he believed it was a warning of a disaster.
The next surprising incident occurred on aircraft number 318. One of the passengers sat next to a pale, sick-looking man who remained speechless. Concerned by his appearance (he might be ill), she called out to a flight attendant. However, after that, the man vanished from her sight. When the woman was later shown photos of flight officers, she recognized Don Repo.
On one flight from New York to Mexico City, Repo's face appeared in one of the plane's ovens. Two flight attendants and an engineer heard him say, "Beware of fire in this aircraft!" In reality, the aircraft had problems upon takeoff from Mexico City. An engine malfunction prevented the flight, which led to a worse accident. Later, after a thorough inspection in the hangar, the aircraft was withdrawn from service.
But the strange events didn't end there...
Instructions regarding seat belts and smoking on board rang out over the onboard loudspeakers. A male voice spoke, but no one spoke, let alone turned on the sound system. During routine inspections, one of the engineers encountered a man dressed in a second officer's uniform sitting at a panel, whom he recognized as Repo. He told the engineer, "You can skip the inspection; I've already checked everything," and with those words, they vanished.
Even today, the ghosts of the captain and second officer are said to be concerned about the safety of the crew and passengers. It seems they want to correct their mistakes, which contributed to numerous fatalities, by now preventing further accidents...
