A “haunted” ship abandoned after disease broke out on its decks has been discovered frozen in time – with a full casino on board.
Urban explorer Ben Stevens shared photographs of the creepy vessel after bravely venturing inside.
The 30-year-old found slot machines, playing cards and a room filled with dozens of casino chips.

But he says the boat’s eerie history keeps people away.
“It’s been abandoned ever since there was a Legionnaires’ outbreak on the ship three years ago,” Ben told What’s The Jam.
“The people living on the dock next to it told me some people died from the outbreak and the ship is haunted by their ghosts, so they won’t have anything to do with it.
“It was literally like a ghost ship.
“It’s like people were gambling one day and then they all vanished.”

Legionnaires’ disease is a lung infection you can get from inhaling droplets of water from things like air conditioning or hot tubs.
Ben, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the US, spent a few hours exploring the deserted boat.
He even found $50 on board, but says it was ruined with mould.

He said: “It was both creepy and interesting as everything had been left from money and poker chips to all the furniture.
“There was one room with a safe and all the chips that would have been traded in for cash.
“I was there for a few hours but it was so hot inside and the smell of mould was crazy.”
The boat, located in Florida, was abandoned three years ago.
Ben added: “It looks like the boat may stay there forever but I’m used to exploring funeral homes and hospitals so this was really different.”
