That didn't, however, halt the release of the book, "The Ghost of Flight 401 ," as well as a movie by the same title. There were several reports of passengers seeing the same ghosts as well.Įventually, the threat of bad press (and the crew's fear) prompted the airline to remove all salvaged parts from the affected jets.

She grabbed two other members of the crew to come take a look, just in time to hear the specter say "Watch out for fire in this plane." Sure enough, the engine failed on the return flight and was shut down just before catching fire. In another tale, a flight attendant reported seeing the face of Don Repo in an oven door. He realized halfway through that he recognized the man as the deceased Captain Bob Loft.

On planes where salvaged parts had been installed, the ghosts of Bob Loft and Don Repo started to turn up. That's when the alleged paranormal appearances began. Many parts of the plane, especially those in the galley, were deemed re-usable and were therefore salvaged and installed on other planes in Eastern's fleet. In 1972, Eastern Airlines Flight 401 crashed into the Florida Everglades, claiming 101 lives, including those of Captain Robert 'Bob' Loft and Flight Engineer Donald 'Don' Repo.
