The Volo Museum's Titanic exhibit was unexpectedly flooded during severe storms this week.
The museum is also renowned for its paranormal activities. For decades, many visitors, employees and residents of the property have reported experiencing unexplainable occurrences, with the flooding of the Titanic exhibit being one of them.
"This is the first flood to happen in this building in 40 years," said museum director Brian Grams. "We thoroughly inspected everything, and there were no broken pipes, roof leaks, or any other obvious points of entry for such large amounts of water. Even the perimeter of the building, with a concrete floor, was dry with no evidence of cracks or holes. The flood is a total mystery."
Museum officials said the flooding was captured on security footage.
