Luke, you have no idea how much your channel helps me with my fight with cancer. Your dignified demeanor and delivery ease my pain more than anything else on earth. God bless you for all your hard work and dedication to your craft. Thanks again Bill
Bill it's been 2 months since you posted This,i decided to comment to wish you strenght in your fight,i truly hope you are doing well and giving it your all. I wish you nothing but health and that you remain strong in your fight. May the Lord bless you and give you health my friend. If you find it in your heart to reply it would make me very happy to know that you're ok. Stay strong. Much love and support from Portugal.
Luke, every word in my comment is as heart felt as a man can express. Even with the excruciating pain I'm in I try my best to use the morphine as little as possible, because just like AIDS long term use of the drug weakens the bodies immune system. The calming , dignified delivery and soothing background music are impeccable. I've survived 13 months as a base mechanic in Vietnam . Dodging snipers or infantry men smoking to much opium with the old men. I go in for open heart surgery in the next rew weeks .at 72, I'm losing Luke . Hearing from you has spurred me on to get up one more day. My gratitude for you is beyond words. Hugs and kisses and all that kinda stuff Your friend Bill
@@BillFEILHAUER-bu7go Much respect to you, Bill. And thank you for your service as well. As @lionheartpt4555 said....stay strong! Wishing you strength in your battle.
Bill, I am directing you to Neville Goddard since you don't seem to know how to pray for the miracle. I don't blame you. That's just society today. Neville will remind you the instructions of the Bible in a way that would bring you wonder like you'd only previously believe in fairy tales. Let's start with your cancer being gone. Living from that end. But learn how to do it. Neville Goddards ladder techniques will show you how to believe when you can't anymore.
Ash hadu Allaa ilaha illallahu wa Ash hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa Rasuluhu Meaning: I bear witness that there is no god except Allah, and I bear witness that Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) is His servant and messenger May Allah accept you and cure you from Cancer.
This man is the epitome of true talent! His channel is nothing short of greatness plus you couldn't find a better voice for commentary! This team does an amazing job producing this channel
@@lastsinner1738 I agree. He has a very good voice for story telling. I get easily annoyed sometimes and alot of voices (including my own voice) annoy me. Fortunately I married someone whose voice doesn't irritate me.
As the wife of a veteran, I enjoy your stories and personal experiences and insight. You can tell when someone with zero military background is trying to talk about military life. During our last assignment in Germany, I was employed at VII Corps HQS. One LTC had a huge photo on the wall behind his desk. So, being a typical nosy type, I asked about the photo. It was hard to miss. It covered the top of his desk when he took it down. It was a photo of a huge number of personnel on a beautiful sunny day. The sky was full of parachutes deploying. Some just before hitting the ground, etc. It was staggering to see the detail. Close to the front, is someone on the ground and you know instantly there's a problem. The body just looked "odd". At the time, he was a Captain. Just before hitting the ground, another guy hit his chute and as he put it "that's why I am behind this f'ing desk (FD), stuck in a job I detest". Almost ended his military career as he broke his pelvis and hip. I wondered why his PT test was highly modified. Super nice guy. Never talked down to the enlisted. Easy to get along with and willing to work with anyone. After that, since I was the senior admin asst for the entire G4, I would find notes saying the FD was going out of the office and he had transferred his phone to me. Ensure I CYA with some good lie.
As a veteran I love creepy military stories. One of my weirdest favorites (though least likely true ones) is set in Fort Leonard Wood Missouri. A.k.a. Fort Lost in the Woods. The story goes that early in WW II the Army declared eminent domain to expand the base for the war effort. A small village of German immigrants occupied one area. They received the news from a colonel in the middle of their Oktoberfest celebrations. It was not well received. They did move and the Army tore down the village and turned it into a range. That should’ve been the end of it. However, soldiers reported stumbling across a German village in Fort Leonard Woods’ range area at night in the midst of a full celebration. The locals would force the soldier to participate and drink way too much beer. In the end the guy would wake up on the range hungover and AWOL. This was reported by 2 different soldiers in 2 incidents 20 years apart. Troops make up crazy reasons for being AWOL but this takes the cake.
@gorillaguarillaCK - Yeah, tell me about it. I still have 2 mugs from my ma's hometown in gheir 1965 Octoberfest celebrations that say ga'suffa on them. They would just pull in the train cars with the beer and tap them early. And when a town of 5,000 would swell to 35,000 for Octoberfest, there was always a shitload of beer.
I went through basic training at FLW 41 years ago and never heard about this. The place is creepy ,I'll say that. Back then, there wasn't anything off base, except for a gas station. The base was literally in the middle of nowhere. If you went AWOL, it would be a long walk to St. Louis.
My grandfather was a "Sheriff" in a small town in northeastern Brazil. The police station was understaffed. My grandmother used to helped out and stayed with my grandfather several nights a week. One dark, rainy night, a desperate woman came to the police station crying for help. My grandfather rushed to help her and together they approached a car that had overturned on the side of the road nearby. When he went to check, he found a small, crying baby in the backseat, which, thankfully, was alive. Tragically, the woman, the child's mother in the front seat had died. She was the woman who went to the police station to seek help. Whenever I heard my grandmother's tales, I questioned them. But she would always say, "I saw it with the same eyes that are looking at you now." After thinking about the stories from this channel, I am convinced that they were not fabricated.
29 Palms sucks. Out in the middle of a hot desert, nowhere near civilization, just stuck out in the middle of nowhere. Almost as bad as White Sands Missile Range in Southern New Mexico. Out in the middle of nowhere so far that we had no radio. We had to subscribe to cable TV and cable radio. We were 69 mikesbto El Paso across the desert. And to get to Las Cruces had to drive up and over the Organ Mountains to just get to McDs. Just a shithole post.
Your grandmother was telling the truth. Living in a 200 yr old house .I was attacked by a demon, yes they do exist. Cell phones slide across the dresser, I cussed at it and a pc of steel flew across the room and dented the washer. A priest came to the house and told us to get out NOW!!!! A demon had control of 2 children who were killed there in the 1800s.I had never been frightened beyond rational thought but this almost killed us. If you are close to christ they hate you . I could go on and on .
Holy moly... I believe your grandmother was telling the truth. The woman needed to make sure her baby was ok before moving on.. It seems that's the case anyway... and, perhaps, when a crying woman, late in the night, can be heard in the not-so-far-off distance, that's a spirit whom couldn't get help in time during a similar scenario, and is stuck here thru not being able to forgive themselves for the death of loved ones, even if these deaths came by way of complete accident, the guilt is just too heavy, too strong a grip, so the energy holds fast, unable to release itself... But, also, perhaps not. 😊 who knows... but I do believe your grandma.
I was in Yokota for a time when I was at Camp Fuji. There were some strange activity out there when I was there. There was one time we were walking around the base during the night, and by this parking lot, and as we passed by these vehicles, the car alarms would go off. We'd stop, thinking someone was playing a joke, then we'd walk again, only for the car alarms to go off as we passed. We had enough and walked away only for ALL of the car alarms to turn of simultaneously. One of the few nights there was no wind. Come to find out that the people who owned those cars, were all in the field.
When leaving Afghanistan from jalalabad to BAF, we flew on a civilian contracted CH46. They overloaded the aircraft to the point where the crew chief had to lay on top of our bags and you could just feel how sluggish the aircraft was. Not a problem until we try to make it over the mountains to drop down into BAF, and we were kind of stuck hovering over these snow capped mountains not making any real progress. The pilot eventually turned off the heater and we slowly started to climb over the peak and eventually safely down into baf. There was a moment where we were just lingering and I looked over at my buddy and we exchanged looks like ' are we about to go down?' we definitely were not prepared for a Dahmer party lol.
That’s crazy! When we left Jaf on our way to Bagram, the taliban hit the ecp with a Vbied. On the side close the the transit tents. If we would have been there 10 more minutes we would have still been there. We were pissed we missed it. Lol
@richpryor9650 i IF you think that Orange Man is better than Old Man, you're mistaken, my friend. All politicians are out to get all the money. They don't serve us and must never be trusted. Why not blame Clinton or Bush while you're at it? Carter? Reagan? They all fucked over our military (All Gods bless Them).
Finally finished a long exhausting work week, I get home, make some food, sit back and watch a brand new Wartime Stories video to start off my weekend of rest and relaxation. The best.
I've been to a few haunted military bases and experienced them. Unless the hauntings are malicious there is no reason to panic or get the chaplain involved. The most active was Augsburg where the barracks had originally been SS barracks.
There is no such thing as a "good spirit". At best, they are demons masquerading as dead human beings. I agree - you don't need some chaplain. You need Jesus Christ! It's either truth, or it's consequences. No argument!
I was stationed just south of Augsburg, at Bad Aibling Station. It was a former Luftwaffe base and was also quite active. I had a lot of experiences there.
Always, ALWAYS get the Chaplin envolved and pray to your Lord and savior Jesus Christ that he send those spirits away from your. They don't belong in your house. If you tolerate them you will sooner or later have a complete evil demon in your home, since they then know that you are open to such things happening. Don't let them stay. Call your Lord savior and ask him to help you get them out of your house.
@@ax.f-1256no, you’re very misguided! A simple hunting will not lead to a demonic haunting. Demonic hauntings are very rare and a chaplain doesn’t need to be involved unless it’s malevolent! I’ve been investigating the paranormal and studying demonology for over 20 years and have experienced many hauntings, including my childhood home which had activity daily for years and years and guess what, no demonic activity.
In response to Luke's experience at Yokota... You could never get me to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Losing a tattoo to some asphalt from a janky parachute drop? That's the real horror story in this episode!
You are too perfect with these release times. 3oclock witching hour my mom always said. In bed, smoking some flower, and Wartime Stories?! Let's Fuking go! I love this freaking show
12:23 I don’t know if you’re ever going to see this comment but, I really have to appreciate the detail here. The police car is exactly what you would’ve saw back in 1999. I appreciate the detail you put into the drawings. Such as using a legitimate 1998 Crown Victoria for your reference instead of a generic car.
I thought this would be a good place to share this. I’m currently 3 years into my marine corp career. This is my buddies story. We used to live in these moldy barracks rooms before I went on my first MEU. Well my buddy said one night he woke up and was droggy and still half asleep. He said once we whipped the sleep from his eyes, he could see that someone was standing in the corner of his room. Once he gets to this part of the story he always notes that he gets chills thinking about it. He said it was this guy wearing Marine dress blues.. smiling. I just got chills thinking about it too just typing that. He said he whipped his eyes again to see if he was just seeing stuff, because of just waking up. The marine in dress blues was still there.. smiling. He said he then flips on the lights and yells at his roommate to wake up who was bunking above him. He said when we looked back over to the corner that no one was there. Not the type of guy to lie or make up stories to talk himself up or make himself sound cool either. He said he slept with the bathroom light on the rest of the night. I asked him what time it was and he said it was like 3:30 am. The witching hours of the night. We now have the nice/newer barracks since coming back from deployment in June of this year. I just pray I never see this marine in dress blues smiling while standing in the corner of my room.
I believe his story, got a similar experience but not in the US Marine Corps barrack ofc. My younger brother also experienced the same sighting with the same figure in the same room and at the same corner. Some say sleeping is when your soul can transcend to another dimension. Their dimension.
The quality of this channel is superb. Even without your having said that you have prior military service, it would be obvious to anyone with a keen eye. Your attention to detail, dedication, and commitment to cause, all shine through in these videos. I would love to see your take on the 1996 Varginha incident in Brazil. Allegedly one of the only events where a live entity was taken from a crash site. Keep up the good work, brother. All the best from the First Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment.
Great stories, as usual. I lived on Yakota Air Base from 1979 to 1981 as a dependant. The tower story is something I remember hearing about. There were a few unfortunate deaths on and around the base when I lived there. If hauntings are real, I suppose Yakota would be an active place. I was fortunate to have experienced living in Japan, being there as a teenager was an absolute thrill.
I was stationed at Yokota Air Base for seven years (2016-2023) and the number of su1c1des there taking place was definitely a thing. One occurred in the tower apartment building right next to mine. That said, I saw the Army guys and Marines parachute jumping from planes all the time at Yokota. It's a pretty small base and the flightline cuts across the middle of it. The Osprey would fly there often too. I never personally experienced anything supernatural while at Yokota but I had an odd thing or two happen to me while stationed at Kadena AB in Okinawa. I love Japan and spent over half of my military career there. Lovely country, polite people, beautiful culture, and awesome food and travel. Would love to return and retire there. Thanks to Wartime Stories for featuring Yokota so prominently this episode! Was definitely a blast of nostalgia and really makes me miss Japan, for sure.
@@Vagabond_Etranger I never saw any ghosts either. I do I believe in them? Maybe not but I'm reminded of a quote: “It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn. Maybe that’s enlightenment enough - to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small and unwise I am, and how far I have yet to go.”
@@recessional5560 Nothing like seeing an apparition or hearing voices or anything dramatic like that. I remember my first night after arriving in Okinawa years ago as a naive dumb airman, jet lagged and tired from traveling hours on a plane. My dorm room (barracks to other branches) was stifling hot as I had arrived in the middle of summer, and the HVAC was out and didn't work. I remember plopping onto the bed and just immediately falling asleep. Hours later, I woke up, curled up in the sheets and facing the wall. It was dark so I assumed night had fallen outside. I remember it being ice cold, which was odd. I didn't hear the HVAC turn on and there was no sound of it running. It was just eerie silence. Then I felt a tug on the blanket behind my shoulder. I remember being a bit freaked out and refusing to turn around or even acknowledge the tug. Then it happened again, more forcibly this time. Once again, I pretended to still be asleep and did not want to turn around to see who or what was doing the tugging. I fell asleep and woke up in the late morning the next day. My room was hot and stuffy again. HVAC didn't work and I doubt it ever did last night. My door was locked from the inside, as was my bathroom door on my side (these dorms shared a bathroom between two rooms). Maybe I hallucinated the previous night. I was jet lagged and extremely tired from traveling, after all. I don't have any other explanation. The human mind is weird like that sometimes. Okinawa is reputed to be the most haunted place in Japan given its long and bloody history. Lots of creepy tales about the island and Kadena Air Base itself. My own work center at the time was supposedly haunted and it was pretty eerie working there during overnight graveyard shifts but I never saw or experienced anything there myself (unless you count the late night Guitar Hero sessions up until our captain caught us and put a stop to that, LOL). Okinawa is steeped in history with a unique culture, friendly people, delicious cuisine, and beautiful beaches with crystal clear blue waters. Would love to go back and see how much it's changed, or stayed the same.
Don't feel bad about the air sickness on the C-130. I was Aeromedical Evacuation, and I have done tons of combat flights and landing in the C-130. You never really get to the level you aren't queasy. Hydration, pre-flight diet and a bit of ginseng can help, but I've had missions where the only reason I didn't puke was I didn't want to start a chain-reaction with the flight crew and/or any patients we had aboard. The worst missions were post patient drop-off, vehicle pickup with combat maneuvers. You're tired, breathing in exhaust fumes and being tossed around. I don't miss those days.
@@ufosrus The thing that causes air sickness the most is combat takeoffs, landings and maneuvers. It can be a lot like a roller coaster in there. Except you don't really have any frame of reference to the outside world. There aren't many windows in the back, and even less that you can look out strapped in a jump seat. The other thing to note is military aircraft are much louder. To the point, you have (should) to wearing hearing protection the whole flight. This protects the ears, but adds a minor level of disorientation. These aircraft also don't pressurize the cabin as much as civilian ones do. So if flying at a cruise altitude, you're going to be a little more hypoxic than a commercial flight. Airflow also isn't very good compared to a commercial plane. The C-130 is a turboprop plane, so there's more exhaust than jet engines. It's not uncommon for some of that air to get pulled into the cargo area while on the ground and basically trapped in there during the flight. And that's on top of if a Humvee or other vehicle is loaded or unloaded. Don't get me wrong. At least 3/4s of my missions, I was fine. Moving patients around the United States has the C-130 flight crew flying the plane much like any other commercial flight with easy angle takeoffs and landings along with gentle banking. For me, it was really just combat theater or combat training missions that I suffered. And just because of the C-130. During those times, it's easy to be stressed out, not get good sleep (even with crew rest) and have sporadic meals. In Iraq, I never knew when I was going to get activated for a mission. You get 12 hours undisturbed crew rest followed by, I want to say, 72 hours in which you can be activated, including the last hour. Missions can last around 16-18 hours of near constant work. The only break being takeoff/landing when you had to be in your seat. There were times when it was 12-14 hours of crew rest and activated for 16-18 hours and repeat.
Thank you for the thorough explanation. I don't have any knowledge of anything military (specially being female) and don't follow some of the jargon in this channel but I enjoy the stories presented here. It also looks like you did invaluable work during your service transporting patients in those planes to which we're all very grateful. 🙂💐
I was at Yokota for a day and night back in '82. We were a nuclear asset transport security detail of Security Specialists from Elmendorf AFB near Anchorage, Alaska. I haven't seen those towers in 42 years. Thanks for the photo. My team stayed in the transient barracks and then flew out next morning across the drink (a very looong flight) so no hauntings for me thank God! Great episode Luke! Thanks for all the work you do! It's great!
@@WartimeStoriesI was in a pervious career, a military historian ( I have 2 masters degrees, both of my dissertations are on different aspects of military history). Yokota was built in 1940 as Tama Airfield. Late in the war, Tama (present day Yokota) was used by suicide pilots attempting to ram American bombers and other forces. Pretty sure in addition to the thousands of Japanesse soldiers who died during the bombing raids of Tama in 44 and 45, Tama (Yokota) was also the final take of runway for hundreds of suicide pilots. Tama Airfield also served as a hospital for the tens of thousands of civilian burn victims of the fire bombing of Tokyo. Burn wounds are not very survivable and incredibly painful (as the every news station pointed out after the actions of a present day airman). So the entire base is probably filled with tens of thousands of vengeful spirits who DESPISE the American air force and American pilots.
I feel like I speak for everyone when I say we'd love it if you told more stories about your time in service that aren't horror related. The way you tell stories and your voice, it's just entertaining.
JBLM was my home and base for the past 10 years I've served with Infantryman from the Restrepo documentary and the stories they tell are incredible we had a fall event in that old Officers building certainly gave me a wierd vibe around it unfortunately there's been quite a few casualties on base 2 drownings recently before 2020 and quite a few drug overdoses
One of the BEST channels on the site. Best narration and visuals. I cannot imagine the horror of Kimiko's parents when they realized their daughter was gone. Poor souls. These vids are amazing and that last story made me laugh hard. I hope your buddies with the lost skin were ok! Thanks for sharing that last story and all of the others. God bless.
My parents had an off base apartment early on that was haunted. They had to completely get rid of the coffee table because it would continually slide over against the wall heater and try to catch fire. Years later during the flood that destroyed a large portion of the town that entire building burned down. The fire crews couldn't reach it because of the flood water. I guess that ghost won in the end. Something really creepy about watching a former home burning down live on tv.
That's a really creepy story! Did your parents ever actually witness the table moving on it's own? And do you think it was the table that was haunted or was it the actual house?
I was stationed on the stumps back in 2005 - 2009, had two deployments one to Okinawa in 06 and Iraq in 07-08. I was part of 3rd Battalion, 11th Marines. I never experienced anything weird at the stumps except maybe seeing weird stuff in the sky at night while we were out in the field. I can say that Camp Hansen surely is haunted! I can say 100% certainty that I and a quite a few others had paranormal experiences at the barracks. It’s the 1st barracks building on the right as you come in through the main gate on Hansen. Woke up choking with a grayish shadowy mist hovering over me late night early morning, thought it was my roommate but that dude was snoring in the rack across from me, he has gone out drinking that night in Kinville and was passed out. The next morning a ton of people were talking about seeing weird figures in there rooms that night, my own roommate was also woken up at some point that night and he thought it was me messing with him but I was in a deep sleep. It was also incredibly creepy when you had duty and had to walk around the building late at night, you always felt like someone was watching you and hear faint footsteps behind you when walking around.
the pure amount of quality Luke gives us for the number of subscriber’s he has is just unbelievable, this man (til now) does everything all by himself and just makes a 10/10 video each time. Luke, I can’t thank you enough for producing these videos. you sir are a natural at story telling.
I made this comment once before about your channel. I have never liked or been interested in war stories. However, the way you describe/tell these stories makes them very interesting to listen to. I actually look forward to them. Great job!
I think what I found the most interesting was the personal story of jumping out of the plane. I found the ghost stories interesting, but man that had to be a harrowing experience to be dragged by your parachute.
I remember being grade school age in the 70s and every spring they would give us those thin, old-fashioned parachutes to play with. We had a blast but I also remember how terrifying it must be to jump out of an airplane with nothing more than a piece of nylon that was three times thinner than a bedsheet. Soldiers have seemed the epitome of braveness since I can remember. Then of course I plotted every year to steal the parachute so I could make my own military tent in the backyard. 😁 Although I never did I think it's safe to reason that I was a little misguided as a kid.
Right? I call bull on that particular story. The description of what apparently happened was way off, like screaming at 5am and not waking anyone up. Going back to sleep after hearing a "clear" strange voice etc. 😆
One thing I was told about 29 Palms is that there are A LOT of devil worshippers out in the surrounding areas of town. They leave little signs on the roads that one would not immediately recognise as a sign. But one of them would. I was told that it was not wise to be caught lost or out after dark on one of these desert dirt roads.
Thank you, Luke, for another great episode. It's so fascinating to be drawn in to the completely different lifestyle of military bases and strange experiences. I am familiar with the strange experiences, and it's commiserative for me to hear the things others have gone through. Best wishes and big hugs to you and your family.
Man! you guys have a lot of guts, guts, guts, for what you do, God bless all of you!!! I really enjoyed the stories, thank you for sharing. Greg the Egg.
Out of all the stories, I think the Smoke Pit ones are my favorite. Something about them just intrigues me and your presentation and insight helps get their eeriness across. Keep up the great work!
The only odd thing that happened in Australia is the fact that you guys lost a war against birds.... Everything you will say in trying to defend why you lost will be duly noted and disregarded
Old 82d Airborne here. Most of my jumps were with the T-10C. Steering, if you could call it that was by crossing one riser over the other. Had a few close calls. When I got to my first unit, some of the guys told stories about the "Death Drop" in Turkey the previous year (1985). Racetracked forever due to high winds. The CG got tired of standing in the door and decided that the next time around was going to be it. Lots of dragging injuries. I heard that he got dragged into some equipment on the ground and sustained a severe neck injury. I haven't busted silk since 1990, but I still get a little excited when I smell jet exhaust and nylon webbing.
I love this channel! Such interesting stories, and I really like the narrator's voice. My son and I eagerly await the next episode! My favorite story so far was the very creepy Kitsune. Nightmare fuel! 😱
I never experienced anything, but the creepiest base I’ve been to was Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. There’s been deaths from people getting lost in the desert, and I’d heard stories of some radiological weapon being tested that killed cattle in the nearby town of Tooele. Apparently there was an ancient burial ground somewhere on the base too.
@@petergray2712 no kidding. That base just felt off to me. I was there in 2018 and again in 2019, so long after the army moved most of its AD units. Aside from the clinic and commissary, there’s not much there. A bunch of empty housing and shooting ranges lol
The artistic vibes you create while telling the stories is incredible. I like the subdued, dark theme it just puts a little more emphasis on each story. Well done.
I had heard similar when I was re-enacting , there had been issues with former RAF bases with paranormal activities, servicemen on push bikes seen by local police, that thought they was making a film to turn and see them vanish, the man that haunts the hut at Biggin hill , and the pilot who crashed storming across the green towards the control tower in Lincolnshire to have it out with controllers are just a few.
Nah because when I was in camp Fuji, my buddy used to wake up screaming at night. And he said something in his dreams was scaring the shit out of him on a nightly basis. I thought he was full of shit obviously and just had night terrors. I was then woken up one night being choked, I felt hands wrapped around my throat and I couldn’t scream or yell for help, I kept my eyes closed because I was terrified, but whatever was hovering over me was demonic, and I felt the oddly cold breath on my face. It just kept telling me “shhhhh you can’t fight me” I eventually screamed out the words “help!” And whatever was attacking me went away. That shit was terrifying and it only happened once
Major exorcisms ( performed on people) are recorded. Minor exorcisms (performed on places often) are not recorded because they don't require the bishops approval. The priests were excorcizing a place and the spirit appeared to them so it was a minor one.
I was stationed in hohenfels, Germany and our barracks was supposedly haunted. The second floor especially, but I lived on the 3rd. They did call a General chaplain to do an excorsim after some guys in my company kept reporting weird stuff and claimed one of them got possessed. They wouldn't let anyone on the second floor while they were there. Make of that what you will. Later I was stationed at Fort Hood and lived with a buddy in Copperas Cove and that house was haunted. We always heard footsteps walking around, a crystal was thrown at me, the sounds of things moving around in the kitchen, tapping and bumping, but we could never find or mimic the sounds. Weird stuff
@@quentinking1188 yeah it’s really bad now a lot of bs woke shit at higher levels but down at us line units it doesn’t really affect much just effects what COs do and how they behave but a lot of just total disregard for the lives and time of enlisted personnel here now piss poor leadership at the top and inept company and battery commanders and 1SG I’ll be etsing in 10 months gonna drop CSP and just gtfo as soon as possible
Camp Lewis was my great-grandfather's home base during WWI. There are many undocumented deaths on that base dating back to WW1 and prior. I have heard stories of modern activity from friends who have been stationed there. I live 45 minutes away. It's a creepy place at times.
I grew up in Japan and went to school on Yokota AFB back in 80s. My best friend at the time worked for a cleaning company that had contracted with the base to clean out base housing units after people moved out. He told me about a unit in one of the tower apartments he cleaned out. It belonged to a high school teacher we both knew. The teacher was moving out because he had suffered a tragedy - his wife had suffered some kind of mental issue and took the life of their young child and herself in the unit. My friend generally worked alone and after cleaning out the unit, he decided to take a shower there to clean up. As he was showering, he suddenly heard screaming of a woman and a crying child in the adjacent room. It freaked him out and he quickly got out of the shower, but we soon as he exited the shower, the screaming and crying sound stopped. He left the unit in a hurry.
Military life can be both very challenging and very spooky at the same time. Thank you for bringing all these stories. ❤ and well wishes from India 🇮🇳 .
My husband has several pictures of his grandfather in the Army in WWI and in one of those pictures he looks somuch like a cowboy he calls it the Marlboro Man picture. In the picture he has on the one piece knee high leather legging on instead of of the cloth putters so it looks like cowboy boots, his blouse is unbuttoned and looks like a jacket, he is smoking a cigarette and lastly his campaign hat either has the brim rolled up like a cowboy hat or has the chin strap up over the top holding the brim that way. He was called back from the ranch he was working on in Idaho to be inducted at his local draft board in Missouri, where he was sent to Camp Funston Kansas. He was trained on the French 75mm howitzer and in WWI artillery was pulled by horses and mules via caissons requiring part of the crew to ride on horseback on McClellan saddles and some on the caissons. He was sent to France among the first troops and the shortage of draft animals was severe. He was called in to his Captains office and questioned about his experience with horses prior to the Army. He was then told they needed horses and mules to pull the cannons more than they needed people to shoot them. He was relieved from gun crew duty and spent the next two years breaking horses and mules for the Army like a cowboy in France.
The amount of wrath I felt hearing about the mother killer his son and neighbors daughter and then the selfish woman trying to take the easy way out herself was off the charts
Fr. It's one thing to hurt yourself and your own family but women do this shit all the time. Hurting another person's child just tells me they're a pos, doubt there was any possession there, just a pos person
Hello everyone, I served for 3 years in JBLM and I can attest to the fact that the JBLM museum is haunted. Some of my buddies went to see and we could just feel that the ambient was dense and dark. Some people even as far as to say that they have heard the cowboy man walk. In all honestly, I mostly spend my time chilling on the warrior zone but the museum oozed that haunted vibe. I think we only went once but you could just feel something was wrong whenever you drove by it.
I remember when Y2K was about to happen, I was very excited and happy that the Internet was going to cause the end of the world! Man what a disappointment! I had at least two months worth of alcohol saved up just in case it happened! I really wanted to watch the chaos people running crazy down the street.
I was stationed in 29 palms. Me and my wife saw a person that wasn’t there, had doors open, heard scratching in the walls (too big and drawn out to be nice), and heard someone humming a lullaby to our newborn. Saw videos other residents had posted when they caught voices they didn’t hear until they played it back saying “kill it” while filming their child. Half of our activity happened when we would wake up at 03:00 am.
Brother there are not words for how much I hate the desert. Its hot during the day, chilly at night, sand constantly gets in your clothes, in your weapons, in your eyes..it really is a miserable place to be.
I absolutely love this channel. you’re so good at telling these stories, you make me feel like I’m actually there, experiencing these things for myself. I can’t wait for the next video
My husband was a paratrooper in the army back in the early 90s. The families were invited once to watch a jump from a C-130. It was impressive. You talking about the terrible parachutes the military used brought that day back to me vividly. That lack of steering capability was notorious. That particular day my husband landed on uneven ground and fell backwards hard enough to crack his Kevlar helmet.
It's just weird to hear you say murdered himself instead of he committed suicide. I guess you can't say that word on TH-cam. What a world we live in now. Great episode one of your best. 💯👍🇺🇸
🙄 Now there are so many words that you’re not supposed to say on TH-cam , that sometimes I can’t even understand what they’re trying to say Ridiculous af !!!
I was out my yard as it is now almost 11 pm at night and had observed some strange lights and orbs in the sky and I came back inside in time to listen to these stories. Perfect.
Thanks for doing Ft Lewis! I personally had experiences on North Fort. I was issued a barracks room to the left on that pic about the new barracks built in the 2000’s. Anyway, sometimes late at night you would hear what sounded like a Plt running calling cadence. I often felt watched in my barrack which culminated in having a cup of ice water on my nightstand thrown in my face. The night stands were a little shorter then the bed so it couldn’t have just fell and splashed on me.
I was stationed at Fort Lewis as an MP in the early 2000s, years before the merger with McChord AFB. I worked on the desk where the alarm panel was located. I don't recall ever hearing about the museum ghost or the associated alarms. That's a shame. Thanks for the story!
Gosh, can i just compliment the sentence structure and story telling in general! Its wonderful on this channel keep it up! too many times i've found some great stories to listen to, just to find out the narration is following a way of speaking that just repeats itself over and over and over. It gets really really hard to listen to. I cant say enough how much I appreciate the sound of actual conversation in your narration!
I lived at Yokota AFB in the late 70s through the early 80s. I’m amazed that the scenery in the illustrations are so accurate! The first panel, showing Fuji Yama was the exact view I had while looking out of the window of my bedroom. My family lived on 7th floor of one of the East Towers. The design of the apartments and base housing is exactly what it looked like living at Yokota Air Force Base at that time. I lived in American Village, in Fussa-shi before getting base housing. My family lived briefly in the East Towers and then moved to the surrounding bungalow style housing. I never knew about the incidents in the East Towers, although I wish that I had. I was in Jr HS and then I attended Yokota High School at the time and lived on the 7th floor of one of the Towers. My brother and I did both have a paranormal experience while we lived in American Village. One night we saw a Japanese woman with long black hair, looking out of our bedroom window. It’s probably a coincidence, but our living quarters was located practically across the street from the old abandoned Tachikawa Air Base, which had long since closed and sat vacant. My friends often wanted to sneak onto the old abandoned base to explore and drink alcohol, but I always talked them out of it. The abandoned base looked very spooky and I didn’t want to risk being caught. I didn’t want to be a reason that my father would get chewed out by the Base CO. I was a good kid and I’d just never allow myself to get into that kind of trouble. We were also located a short distance from a small local Japanese burial shrine. Being dumb American teens, we sometimes went to the burial shrine to drink and act goofy and behave in a generally disrespectful manner. I’ve often wondered if my careless actions were the reason that a Japanese woman ghost was in the bedroom I shared with my brother. Thank you for sharing this great collection of paranormal military related stories. It’s great to see one from the AFB where I used to live.
My dad's last duty station, and mine as well, was Ft. Lewis. I always got a creepy feeling of being watched in there when I'd bug him to take me to the military museum, or later doing PT runs past the place during my enlistment. The common rumor was always of someone in the upper floors looking out from a window late at night when the place was closed.
I really enjoyed your personal story at the end, I'm pretty sure most civilians don't ever think about how dangerous just the training can be.God Bless all of our soldiers. !
My grandfather and I used to go to the Ft. Lewis Army Museum every summer when I visited him in WA State. He was a retied army Col. and this was his favorite building on the base. His middle name is Greene, descendant of Maj Gen Nathanael Greene. Fascinating coincidence!
Great work, guys. I look forward to more ghost-stories by you. Ghost-stories told by service-members and set on bases are a lot harder to come across than experiences that happen in other settings. Y’all have the market locked-up and I’m loving that, as well as your presentation, illustrations …not to mention the narrator has the perfect voice for reading aloud …y’all have the total high-quality package here. I would love to know if this woman really believed she was possessed… Do you know of any online forums where it has been discussed? I really have no idea where to start
Dang it! I lived on JBLM for a year (was supposed to be two year but my mom and I had to go home early due to being aleric to just about every plant on the base) while my dad was stationed there, and I had no idea there was an alleged haunted building I could have visited.
Your channel is one of a small handful that I check often to see if you've uploaded. I appreciate your effort, your time and creativity you put into these. 💙
Imagine making it to the afterlife to find you're restricted to base.
On permanent delta libo 😂
That’s horrifying 😭
I always think that about nurse hauntings.
I feel bad for laughing.
If that happened to me , I’d be angry too
Luke, you have no idea how much your channel helps me with my fight with cancer. Your dignified demeanor and delivery ease my pain more than anything else on earth. God bless you for all your hard work and dedication to your craft. Thanks again Bill
Bill it's been 2 months since you posted This,i decided to comment to wish you strenght in your fight,i truly hope you are doing well and giving it your all. I wish you nothing but health and that you remain strong in your fight. May the Lord bless you and give you health my friend. If you find it in your heart to reply it would make me very happy to know that you're ok. Stay strong. Much love and support from Portugal.
Luke, every word in my comment is as heart felt as a man can express. Even with the excruciating pain I'm in I try my best to use the morphine as little as possible, because just like AIDS long term use of the drug weakens the bodies immune system. The calming , dignified delivery and soothing background music are impeccable. I've survived 13 months as a base mechanic in Vietnam . Dodging snipers or infantry men smoking to much opium with the old men. I go in for open heart surgery in the next rew weeks .at 72, I'm losing Luke . Hearing from you has spurred me on to get up one more day. My gratitude for you is beyond words. Hugs and kisses and all that kinda stuff

The work this guy puts into these is incredible and I love the way he narrates them, its just perfect.
They are a team of people making it. But I agree, awesome work!
This man is the epitome of true talent! His channel is nothing short of greatness plus you couldn't find a better voice for commentary! This team does an amazing job producing this channel
@@lastsinner1738 I agree. He has a very good voice for story telling. I get easily annoyed sometimes and alot of voices (including my own voice) annoy me. Fortunately I married someone whose voice doesn't irritate me.
Almost twilight zone vibes…I love it!
@@drumstick74 yeah my bad I just edited my comment accordingly.
As the wife of a veteran, I enjoy your stories and personal experiences and insight. You can tell when someone with zero military background is trying to talk about military life.
During our last assignment in Germany, I was employed at VII Corps HQS. One LTC had a huge photo on the wall behind his desk.
So, being a typical nosy type, I asked about the photo. It was hard to miss. It covered the top of his desk when he took it down.
It was a photo of a huge number of personnel on a beautiful sunny day. The sky was full of parachutes deploying. Some just before hitting the ground, etc. It was staggering to see the detail.
Close to the front, is someone on the ground and you know instantly there's a problem. The body just looked "odd".
At the time, he was a Captain. Just before hitting the ground, another guy hit his chute and as he put it "that's why I am behind this f'ing desk (FD), stuck in a job I detest".
Almost ended his military career as he broke his pelvis and hip. I wondered why his PT test was highly modified.
Super nice guy. Never talked down to the enlisted. Easy to get along with and willing to work with anyone.
After that, since I was the senior admin asst for the entire G4, I would find notes saying the FD was going out of the office and he had transferred his phone to me. Ensure I CYA with some good lie.
Typical military wife acting like SHE'S in the service. 😂😂
As a veteran I love creepy military stories. One of my weirdest favorites (though least likely true ones) is set in Fort Leonard Wood Missouri. A.k.a. Fort Lost in the Woods.
The story goes that early in WW II the Army declared eminent domain to expand the base for the war effort. A small village of German immigrants occupied one area. They received the news from a colonel in the middle of their Oktoberfest celebrations. It was not well received. They did move and the Army tore down the village and turned it into a range. That should’ve been the end of it. However, soldiers reported stumbling across a German village in Fort Leonard Woods’ range area at night in the midst of a full celebration. The locals would force the soldier to participate and drink way too much beer. In the end the guy would wake up on the range hungover and AWOL. This was reported by 2 different soldiers in 2 incidents 20 years apart. Troops make up crazy reasons for being AWOL but this takes the cake.
Well, if the Germans was from the southern part of Germany, you never know - those guys do take their Oktoberfest quite serious…
LOL
@@gorillaguerillaDK I was stationed in Bayern (Bavaria). I know all about it!
@@EricDaMAJ
LOL
Then you definitely do yes...
@gorillaguarillaCK - Yeah, tell me about it. I still have 2 mugs from my ma's hometown in gheir 1965 Octoberfest celebrations that say ga'suffa on them. They would just pull in the train cars with the beer and tap them early. And when a town of 5,000 would swell to 35,000 for Octoberfest, there was always a shitload of beer.
I went through basic training at FLW 41 years ago and never heard about this.
The place is creepy ,I'll say that. Back then, there wasn't anything off base, except for a gas station. The base was literally in the middle of nowhere. If you went AWOL, it would be a long walk to St. Louis.
My grandfather was a "Sheriff" in a small town in northeastern Brazil. The police station was understaffed. My grandmother used to helped out and stayed with my grandfather several nights a week. One dark, rainy night, a desperate woman came to the police station crying for help. My grandfather rushed to help her and together they approached a car that had overturned on the side of the road nearby. When he went to check, he found a small, crying baby in the backseat, which, thankfully, was alive. Tragically, the woman, the child's mother in the front seat had died. She was the woman who went to the police station to seek help. Whenever I heard my grandmother's tales, I questioned them.
But she would always say, "I saw it with the same eyes that are looking at you now." After thinking about the stories from this channel, I am convinced that they were not fabricated.
imper, thanks for that, amazing! True I am sure.
29 Palms sucks. Out in the middle of a hot desert, nowhere near civilization, just stuck out in the middle of nowhere. Almost as bad as White Sands Missile Range in Southern New Mexico. Out in the middle of nowhere so far that we had no radio. We had to subscribe to cable TV and cable radio. We were 69 mikesbto El Paso across the desert. And to get to Las Cruces had to drive up and over the Organ Mountains to just get to McDs. Just a shithole post.
Eu acredito…
Your grandmother was telling the truth. Living in a 200 yr old house .I was attacked by a demon, yes they do exist. Cell phones slide across the dresser, I cussed at it and a pc of steel flew across the room and dented the washer. A priest came to the house and told us to get out NOW!!!! A demon had control of 2 children who were killed there in the 1800s.I had never been frightened beyond rational thought but this almost killed us. If you are close to christ they hate you . I could go on and on .
Holy moly... I believe your grandmother was telling the truth. The woman needed to make sure her baby was ok before moving on.. It seems that's the case anyway... and, perhaps, when a crying woman, late in the night, can be heard in the not-so-far-off distance, that's a spirit whom couldn't get help in time during a similar scenario, and is stuck here thru not being able to forgive themselves for the death of loved ones, even if these deaths came by way of complete accident, the guilt is just too heavy, too strong a grip, so the energy holds fast, unable to release itself... But, also, perhaps not. 😊 who knows... but I do believe your grandma.
I was literally just thinking about this channel 20 minutes ago thinking, “I wonder when he’ll upload again”.
I was also wondering this a few days ago.
Same here
Dude saaaaaame
Here, here ! I was wondering that same thing earlier this evening
I had that exact thought 2 hours prior to this upload. Did we psychically persuade him? 😮😂
I was in Yokota for a time when I was at Camp Fuji. There were some strange activity out there when I was there. There was one time we were walking around the base during the night, and by this parking lot, and as we passed by these vehicles, the car alarms would go off. We'd stop, thinking someone was playing a joke, then we'd walk again, only for the car alarms to go off as we passed. We had enough and walked away only for ALL of the car alarms to turn of simultaneously. One of the few nights there was no wind. Come to find out that the people who owned those cars, were all in the field.
What do you mean by "all in the field"?
@@mysticallymerry5523 they were NOT on base.
He means they were all in training out in the brush, far away from their cars, so they couldn't have been triggering their car alarms as a prank.
@@stevenrubisch629 thank you.
@@mysticallymerry5523
they were on the field hiding , pressing the alarm to come on and off
When leaving Afghanistan from jalalabad to BAF, we flew on a civilian contracted CH46. They overloaded the aircraft to the point where the crew chief had to lay on top of our bags and you could just feel how sluggish the aircraft was. Not a problem until we try to make it over the mountains to drop down into BAF, and we were kind of stuck hovering over these snow capped mountains not making any real progress. The pilot eventually turned off the heater and we slowly started to climb over the peak and eventually safely down into baf. There was a moment where we were just lingering and I looked over at my buddy and we exchanged looks like ' are we about to go down?' we definitely were not prepared for a Dahmer party lol.
That’s crazy! When we left Jaf on our way to Bagram, the taliban hit the ecp with a Vbied. On the side close the the transit tents. If we would have been there 10 more minutes we would have still been there. We were pissed we missed it. Lol
No thanks to Biden, right?
@richpryor9650 i
IF you think that Orange Man is better than Old Man, you're mistaken, my friend. All politicians are out to get all the money. They don't serve us and must never be trusted. Why not blame Clinton or Bush while you're at it? Carter? Reagan? They all fucked over our military (All Gods bless Them).

Honestly a heater being the difference between a safe trip and potential disaster is wild
Finally finished a long exhausting work week, I get home, make some food, sit back and watch a brand new Wartime Stories video to start off my weekend of rest and relaxation. The best.
I am a hospital chaplain. I fine these stories very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
There are plenty of old Ashkenazi Jewish tales about activity or phenomena of spirits of the deceased.
@@FrancesHart99the ghosts of the foreskins they sucked 👻
I've been to a few haunted military bases and experienced them. Unless the hauntings are malicious there is no reason to panic or get the chaplain involved. The most active was Augsburg where the barracks had originally been SS barracks.
There is no such thing as a "good spirit". At best, they are demons masquerading as dead human beings. I agree - you don't need some chaplain. You need Jesus Christ! It's either truth, or it's consequences. No argument!
I was stationed just south of Augsburg, at Bad Aibling Station. It was a former Luftwaffe base and was also quite active. I had a lot of experiences there.
Always, ALWAYS get the Chaplin envolved and pray to your Lord and savior Jesus Christ that he send those spirits away from your.
They don't belong in your house. If you tolerate them you will sooner or later have a complete evil demon in your home, since they then know that you are open to such things happening.
Don't let them stay. Call your Lord savior and ask him to help you get them out of your house.
@@ax.f-1256no, you’re very misguided! A simple hunting will not lead to a demonic haunting. Demonic hauntings are very rare and a chaplain doesn’t need to be involved unless it’s malevolent!
I’ve been investigating the paranormal and studying demonology for over 20 years and have experienced many hauntings, including my childhood home which had activity daily for years and years and guess what, no demonic activity.
@@ax.f-1256 they also aren't real lmaooooo
In response to Luke's experience at Yokota... You could never get me to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Losing a tattoo to some asphalt from a janky parachute drop? That's the real horror story in this episode!
I’ve never heard anyone describe a C-130 as “perfectly good.”
I got my jump wings while I was a cadet & plated soldier for four years. Most fun I have ever had.
You are too perfect with these release times. 3oclock witching hour my mom always said. In bed, smoking some flower, and Wartime Stories?! Let's Fuking go! I love this freaking show
Dont smoke in bed.
This channel is a true work of art, and I'm thankful every single time an episode gets uploaded.

Just found this channel & been tearing through the content. Quite terrific so far.
I’ve been tearing through them too. Fun!

I don’t know if you’re ever going to see this comment but, I really have to appreciate the detail here. The police car is exactly what you would’ve saw back in 1999. I appreciate the detail you put into the drawings. Such as using a legitimate 1998 Crown Victoria for your reference instead of a generic car.
I thought this would be a good place to share this. I’m currently 3 years into my marine corp career. This is my buddies story. We used to live in these moldy barracks rooms before I went on my first MEU. Well my buddy said one night he woke up and was droggy and still half asleep. He said once we whipped the sleep from his eyes, he could see that someone was standing in the corner of his room. Once he gets to this part of the story he always notes that he gets chills thinking about it. He said it was this guy wearing Marine dress blues.. smiling. I just got chills thinking about it too just typing that. He said he whipped his eyes again to see if he was just seeing stuff, because of just waking up. The marine in dress blues was still there.. smiling. He said he then flips on the lights and yells at his roommate to wake up who was bunking above him. He said when we looked back over to the corner that no one was there. Not the type of guy to lie or make up stories to talk himself up or make himself sound cool either. He said he slept with the bathroom light on the rest of the night. I asked him what time it was and he said it was like 3:30 am. The witching hours of the night. We now have the nice/newer barracks since coming back from deployment in June of this year. I just pray I never see this marine in dress blues smiling while standing in the corner of my room.
Maybe you were seeing things from the injuries caused by whipping your eyes.
I believe his story, got a similar experience but not in the US Marine Corps barrack ofc. My younger brother also experienced the same sighting with the same figure in the same room and at the same corner.
Some say sleeping is when your soul can transcend to another dimension. Their dimension.
If you wake up in the middle of the night to a marine be happy its one smiling at least. Watching over you I guess thats a good thing
@@floydiandreamscapes5145you knew what he meant, dont be a dick. Did you serve?
I understand it can be unsettling but it definitely didn't sound like a malicious presence. I wouldn't worry about it.
The quality of this channel is superb. Even without your having said that you have prior military service, it would be obvious to anyone with a keen eye. Your attention to detail, dedication, and commitment to cause, all shine through in these videos. I would love to see your take on the 1996 Varginha incident in Brazil. Allegedly one of the only events where a live entity was taken from a crash site. Keep up the good work, brother. All the best from the First Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment.
Great stories, as usual. I lived on Yakota Air Base from 1979 to 1981 as a dependant. The tower story is something I remember hearing about. There were a few unfortunate deaths on and around the base when I lived there. If hauntings are real, I suppose Yakota would be an active place. I was fortunate to have experienced living in Japan, being there as a teenager was an absolute thrill.
I was stationed at Yokota Air Base for seven years (2016-2023) and the number of su1c1des there taking place was definitely a thing. One occurred in the tower apartment building right next to mine.
That said, I saw the Army guys and Marines parachute jumping from planes all the time at Yokota. It's a pretty small base and the flightline cuts across the middle of it. The Osprey would fly there often too.
I never personally experienced anything supernatural while at Yokota but I had an odd thing or two happen to me while stationed at Kadena AB in Okinawa.
I love Japan and spent over half of my military career there. Lovely country, polite people, beautiful culture, and awesome food and travel. Would love to return and retire there.
Thanks to Wartime Stories for featuring Yokota so prominently this episode! Was definitely a blast of nostalgia and really makes me miss Japan, for sure.
You must be Air Force huh? I never believe in ghost, never saw a ghost, but my mom told me she saw a ghost when she was young. So I believe her.
What happened in Okinawa…
@@Vagabond_Etranger I never saw any ghosts either. I do I believe in them? Maybe not but I'm reminded of a quote:
“It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn. Maybe that’s enlightenment enough - to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small and unwise I am, and how far I have yet to go.”
@@recessional5560 Nothing like seeing an apparition or hearing voices or anything dramatic like that. I remember my first night after arriving in Okinawa years ago as a naive dumb airman, jet lagged and tired from traveling hours on a plane. My dorm room (barracks to other branches) was stifling hot as I had arrived in the middle of summer, and the HVAC was out and didn't work.
I remember plopping onto the bed and just immediately falling asleep. Hours later, I woke up, curled up in the sheets and facing the wall. It was dark so I assumed night had fallen outside. I remember it being ice cold, which was odd. I didn't hear the HVAC turn on and there was no sound of it running.
It was just eerie silence. Then I felt a tug on the blanket behind my shoulder. I remember being a bit freaked out and refusing to turn around or even acknowledge the tug. Then it happened again, more forcibly this time. Once again, I pretended to still be asleep and did not want to turn around to see who or what was doing the tugging.
I fell asleep and woke up in the late morning the next day. My room was hot and stuffy again. HVAC didn't work and I doubt it ever did last night. My door was locked from the inside, as was my bathroom door on my side (these dorms shared a bathroom between two rooms).
Maybe I hallucinated the previous night. I was jet lagged and extremely tired from traveling, after all. I don't have any other explanation. The human mind is weird like that sometimes.
Okinawa is reputed to be the most haunted place in Japan given its long and bloody history. Lots of creepy tales about the island and Kadena Air Base itself. My own work center at the time was supposedly haunted and it was pretty eerie working there during overnight graveyard shifts but I never saw or experienced anything there myself (unless you count the late night Guitar Hero sessions up until our captain caught us and put a stop to that, LOL).
Okinawa is steeped in history with a unique culture, friendly people, delicious cuisine, and beautiful beaches with crystal clear blue waters. Would love to go back and see how much it's changed, or stayed the same.
Juuuu😮😅
Don't feel bad about the air sickness on the C-130. I was Aeromedical Evacuation, and I have done tons of combat flights and landing in the C-130. You never really get to the level you aren't queasy. Hydration, pre-flight diet and a bit of ginseng can help, but I've had missions where the only reason I didn't puke was I didn't want to start a chain-reaction with the flight crew and/or any patients we had aboard.
The worst missions were post patient drop-off, vehicle pickup with combat maneuvers. You're tired, breathing in exhaust fumes and being tossed around. I don't miss those days.
As a civilian I'd like to know why does the C-130 cause air sickness? Does it bounce a lot during flights?
@@ufosrus The thing that causes air sickness the most is combat takeoffs, landings and maneuvers. It can be a lot like a roller coaster in there. Except you don't really have any frame of reference to the outside world. There aren't many windows in the back, and even less that you can look out strapped in a jump seat.
The other thing to note is military aircraft are much louder. To the point, you have (should) to wearing hearing protection the whole flight. This protects the ears, but adds a minor level of disorientation. These aircraft also don't pressurize the cabin as much as civilian ones do. So if flying at a cruise altitude, you're going to be a little more hypoxic than a commercial flight.
Airflow also isn't very good compared to a commercial plane. The C-130 is a turboprop plane, so there's more exhaust than jet engines. It's not uncommon for some of that air to get pulled into the cargo area while on the ground and basically trapped in there during the flight. And that's on top of if a Humvee or other vehicle is loaded or unloaded.
Don't get me wrong. At least 3/4s of my missions, I was fine. Moving patients around the United States has the C-130 flight crew flying the plane much like any other commercial flight with easy angle takeoffs and landings along with gentle banking.
For me, it was really just combat theater or combat training missions that I suffered. And just because of the C-130. During those times, it's easy to be stressed out, not get good sleep (even with crew rest) and have sporadic meals.
In Iraq, I never knew when I was going to get activated for a mission. You get 12 hours undisturbed crew rest followed by, I want to say, 72 hours in which you can be activated, including the last hour. Missions can last around 16-18 hours of near constant work. The only break being takeoff/landing when you had to be in your seat. There were times when it was 12-14 hours of crew rest and activated for 16-18 hours and repeat.
Thank you for the thorough explanation. I don't have any knowledge of anything military (specially being female) and don't follow some of the jargon in this channel but I enjoy the stories presented here.
It also looks like you did invaluable work during your service transporting patients in those planes to which we're all very grateful. 🙂💐
I LOVE the smoke pit stories AND the end notes. Just gripping, all the way through!
I was at Yokota for a day and night back in '82. We were a nuclear asset transport security detail of Security Specialists from Elmendorf AFB near Anchorage, Alaska. I haven't seen those towers in 42 years. Thanks for the photo. My team stayed in the transient barracks and then flew out next morning across the drink (a very looong flight) so no hauntings for me thank God! Great episode Luke! Thanks for all the work you do! It's great!
I've got another entire episode planned just for that base. A lot of creepy stories from there. Something about Japan in general...
You were security police?
@@AdrianoTheOne yes
@@WartimeStories when?
@@WartimeStoriesI was in a pervious career, a military historian ( I have 2 masters degrees, both of my dissertations are on different aspects of military history).
Yokota was built in 1940 as Tama Airfield. Late in the war, Tama (present day Yokota) was used by suicide pilots attempting to ram American bombers and other forces. Pretty sure in addition to the thousands of Japanesse soldiers who died during the bombing raids of Tama in 44 and 45, Tama (Yokota) was also the final take of runway for hundreds of suicide pilots.
Tama Airfield also served as a hospital for the tens of thousands of civilian burn victims of the fire bombing of Tokyo. Burn wounds are not very survivable and incredibly painful (as the every news station pointed out after the actions of a present day airman).
So the entire base is probably filled with tens of thousands of vengeful spirits who DESPISE the American air force and American pilots.
I feel like I speak for everyone when I say we'd love it if you told more stories about your time in service that aren't horror related. The way you tell stories and your voice, it's just entertaining.
mm
JBLM was my home and base for the past 10 years I've served with Infantryman from the Restrepo documentary and the stories they tell are incredible we had a fall event in that old Officers building certainly gave me a wierd vibe around it unfortunately there's been quite a few casualties on base 2 drownings recently before 2020 and quite a few drug overdoses
Did some time in Kunar. If still in touch with that dude, ask him about voices and lights in the valley.
Did my time at 29 palms. Can confirm it’s garbage out there
I never heard 29 Palms called Sticks. It was always STUMPS. Same with you? Or not ?
One of the BEST channels on the site. Best narration and visuals. I cannot imagine the horror of Kimiko's parents when they realized their daughter was gone. Poor souls. These vids are amazing and that last story made me laugh hard. I hope your buddies with the lost skin were ok! Thanks for sharing that last story and all of the others. God bless.
My parents had an off base apartment early on that was haunted. They had to completely get rid of the coffee table because it would continually slide over against the wall heater and try to catch fire. Years later during the flood that destroyed a large portion of the town that entire building burned down. The fire crews couldn't reach it because of the flood water. I guess that ghost won in the end. Something really creepy about watching a former home burning down live on tv.
That's a really creepy story! Did your parents ever actually witness the table moving on it's own? And do you think it was the table that was haunted or was it the actual house?
I was stationed on the stumps back in 2005 - 2009, had two deployments one to Okinawa in 06 and Iraq in 07-08. I was part of 3rd Battalion, 11th Marines. I never experienced anything weird at the stumps except maybe seeing weird stuff in the sky at night while we were out in the field. I can say that Camp Hansen surely is haunted! I can say 100% certainty that I and a quite a few others had paranormal experiences at the barracks. It’s the 1st barracks building on the right as you come in through the main gate on Hansen. Woke up choking with a grayish shadowy mist hovering over me late night early morning, thought it was my roommate but that dude was snoring in the rack across from me, he has gone out drinking that night in Kinville and was passed out. The next morning a ton of people were talking about seeing weird figures in there rooms that night, my own roommate was also woken up at some point that night and he thought it was me messing with him but I was in a deep sleep.
It was also incredibly creepy when you had duty and had to walk around the building late at night, you always felt like someone was watching you and hear faint footsteps behind you when walking around.
the pure amount of quality Luke gives us for the number of subscriber’s he has is just unbelievable, this man (til now) does everything all by himself and just makes a 10/10 video each time. Luke, I can’t thank you enough for producing these videos. you sir are a natural at story telling.
I made this comment once before about your channel. I have never liked or been interested in war stories. However, the way you describe/tell these stories makes them very interesting to listen to. I actually look forward to them. Great job!
Luke we missed you how you been. Glad you're still alive after that jump. Thank you for sharing theses episodes ,until next time take care.
I think what I found the most interesting was the personal story of jumping out of the plane. I found the ghost stories interesting, but man that had to be a harrowing experience to be dragged by your parachute.
It happens alot if you can't get your harness undone fast enough
I remember being grade school age in the 70s and every spring they would give us those thin, old-fashioned parachutes to play with. We had a blast but I also remember how terrifying it must be to jump out of an airplane with nothing more than a piece of nylon that was three times thinner than a bedsheet. Soldiers have seemed the epitome of braveness since I can remember.
Then of course I plotted every year to steal the parachute so I could make my own military tent in the backyard. 😁 Although I never did I think it's safe to reason that I was a little misguided as a kid.
Spectre: “Get out.”
Woman: “Of the shower?”
Right? I call bull on that particular story. The description of what apparently happened was way off, like screaming at 5am and not waking anyone up. Going back to sleep after hearing a "clear" strange voice etc. 😆
I was just checking Wartime Stories earlier today to make sure I hadn't missed anything. t really enjoy this channel.
One thing I was told about 29 Palms is that there are A LOT of devil worshippers out in the surrounding areas of town. They leave little signs on the roads that one would not immediately recognise as a sign. But one of them would. I was told that it was not wise to be caught lost or out after dark on one of these desert dirt roads.
One of my first creepypasta story reads was about this service member going to 29 Palms who had people try and stop his car at night.
Thank you, Luke, for another great episode. It's so fascinating to be drawn in to the completely different lifestyle of military bases and strange experiences. I am familiar with the strange experiences, and it's commiserative for me to hear the things others have gone through. Best wishes and big hugs to you and your family.
Man! you guys have a lot of guts, guts, guts, for what you do, God bless all of you!!! I really enjoyed the stories, thank you for sharing. Greg the Egg.
Right at 2 mins after you released this yay lol y’all seriously need 1 million subscribers!
I was right after you. 😂👍😁
They do on their other channels combined
I absolutely love when this channel uploads it makes my day
Keep telling us those good stories brother and we'll keep listening
Out of all the stories, I think the Smoke Pit ones are my favorite. Something about them just intrigues me and your presentation and insight helps get their eeriness across. Keep up the great work!
My absolute favourite channel by far!! Im over the moon when a new episode drops! Thanks WTS.
From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
The only odd thing that happened in Australia is the fact that you guys lost a war against birds....
Everything you will say in trying to defend why you lost will be duly noted and disregarded
@@stefanocaraci4017 I’m on the birds side.
Old 82d Airborne here. Most of my jumps were with the T-10C. Steering, if you could call it that was by crossing one riser over the other. Had a few close calls.
When I got to my first unit, some of the guys told stories about the "Death Drop" in Turkey the previous year (1985). Racetracked forever due to high winds. The CG got tired of standing in the door and decided that the next time around was going to be it. Lots of dragging injuries. I heard that he got dragged into some equipment on the ground and sustained a severe neck injury.
I haven't busted silk since 1990, but I still get a little excited when I smell jet exhaust and nylon webbing.
I listen to these with my family and we like the personal stories from the military. I have a friend who was a ranger and he's got some great stories.
Dude you've gotten really fucking good at telling stories. Keep it up, this channel is going to grow a lot over the coming years.
I love this channel! Such interesting stories, and I really like the narrator's voice. My son and I eagerly await the next episode! My favorite story so far was the very creepy Kitsune. Nightmare fuel! 😱
I never experienced anything, but the creepiest base I’ve been to was Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. There’s been deaths from people getting lost in the desert, and I’d heard stories of some radiological weapon being tested that killed cattle in the nearby town of Tooele. Apparently there was an ancient burial ground somewhere on the base too.
It was also the site for one of the largest concentration camps imprisoning Japanese-Americans during WW2.
@@petergray2712 no kidding. That base just felt off to me. I was there in 2018 and again in 2019, so long after the army moved most of its AD units. Aside from the clinic and commissary, there’s not much there. A bunch of empty housing and shooting ranges lol
@@TTD666Dugway has a creepy energy. I won’t go into depth, but there is a LOT of activity there at night…….. and a weird vibe everytime your there.
The artistic vibes you create while telling the stories is incredible. I like the subdued, dark theme it just puts a little more emphasis on each story. Well done.
I had heard similar when I was re-enacting , there had been issues with former RAF bases with paranormal activities, servicemen on push bikes seen by local police, that thought they was making a film to turn and see them vanish, the man that haunts the hut at Biggin hill , and the pilot who crashed storming across the green towards the control tower in Lincolnshire to have it out with controllers are just a few.
Nah because when I was in camp Fuji, my buddy used to wake up screaming at night. And he said something in his dreams was scaring the shit out of him on a nightly basis. I thought he was full of shit obviously and just had night terrors. I was then woken up one night being choked, I felt hands wrapped around my throat and I couldn’t scream or yell for help, I kept my eyes closed because I was terrified, but whatever was hovering over me was demonic, and I felt the oddly cold breath on my face. It just kept telling me “shhhhh you can’t fight me” I eventually screamed out the words “help!” And whatever was attacking me went away. That shit was terrifying and it only happened once
This was well worth the wait!!! Thank you Luke!!!
Major exorcisms ( performed on people) are recorded. Minor exorcisms (performed on places often) are not recorded because they don't require the bishops approval. The priests were excorcizing a place and the spirit appeared to them so it was a minor one.
I was stationed in hohenfels, Germany and our barracks was supposedly haunted. The second floor especially, but I lived on the 3rd. They did call a General chaplain to do an excorsim after some guys in my company kept reporting weird stuff and claimed one of them got possessed. They wouldn't let anyone on the second floor while they were there. Make of that what you will. Later I was stationed at Fort Hood and lived with a buddy in Copperas Cove and that house was haunted. We always heard footsteps walking around, a crystal was thrown at me, the sounds of things moving around in the kitchen, tapping and bumping, but we could never find or mimic the sounds. Weird stuff
@@osakarose5612 I don't care what they do with it. I hated that place anyway. The only duty station that I didn't love
@@quentinking1188ft hood is truly awful I’m stationed here right now it’s probably just as awful as you remember
@@Anomaly-uz9pr I would imagine it's even worse now with all the woke bullshit. That sucks bro. Don't reenlist. Just get out
@@quentinking1188 yeah it’s really bad now a lot of bs woke shit at higher levels but down at us line units it doesn’t really affect much just effects what COs do and how they behave but a lot of just total disregard for the lives and time of enlisted personnel here now piss poor leadership at the top and inept company and battery commanders and 1SG I’ll be etsing in 10 months gonna drop CSP and just gtfo as soon as possible
Camp Lewis was my great-grandfather's home base during WWI. There are many undocumented deaths on that base dating back to WW1 and prior. I have heard stories of modern activity from friends who have been stationed there. I live 45 minutes away. It's a creepy place at times.
I grew up in Japan and went to school on Yokota AFB back in 80s. My best friend at the time worked for a cleaning company that had contracted with the base to clean out base housing units after people moved out. He told me about a unit in one of the tower apartments he cleaned out. It belonged to a high school teacher we both knew. The teacher was moving out because he had suffered a tragedy - his wife had suffered some kind of mental issue and took the life of their young child and herself in the unit. My friend generally worked alone and after cleaning out the unit, he decided to take a shower there to clean up. As he was showering, he suddenly heard screaming of a woman and a crying child in the adjacent room. It freaked him out and he quickly got out of the shower, but we soon as he exited the shower, the screaming and crying sound stopped. He left the unit in a hurry.
Just found this channel a few days ago love the content happy to catch a fresh upload 😊
Yours is possibly the best channel on TH-cam. I get giddy when I get a notification that you’ve dropped another episode.
The place in the last story has to be the most haunted thing ever!
I love your stories at the end, thanks!
Military life can be both very challenging and very spooky at the same time. Thank you for bringing all these stories. ❤ and well wishes from India 🇮🇳 .
My husband has several pictures of his grandfather in the Army in WWI and in one of those pictures he looks somuch like a cowboy he calls it the Marlboro Man picture. In the picture he has on the one piece knee high leather legging on instead of of the cloth putters so it looks like cowboy boots, his blouse is unbuttoned and looks like a jacket, he is smoking a cigarette and lastly his campaign hat either has the brim rolled up like a cowboy hat or has the chin strap up over the top holding the brim that way. He was called back from the ranch he was working on in Idaho to be inducted at his local draft board in Missouri, where he was sent to Camp Funston Kansas. He was trained on the French 75mm howitzer and in WWI artillery was pulled by horses and mules via caissons requiring part of the crew to ride on horseback on McClellan saddles and some on the caissons. He was sent to France among the first troops and the shortage of draft animals was severe. He was called in to his Captains office and questioned about his experience with horses prior to the Army. He was then told they needed horses and mules to pull the cannons more than they needed people to shoot them. He was relieved from gun crew duty and spent the next two years breaking horses and mules for the Army like a cowboy in France.
The amount of wrath I felt hearing about the mother killer his son and neighbors daughter and then the selfish woman trying to take the easy way out herself was off the charts
Fr. It's one thing to hurt yourself and your own family but women do this shit all the time. Hurting another person's child just tells me they're a pos, doubt there was any possession there, just a pos person
Hello everyone, I served for 3 years in JBLM and I can attest to the fact that the JBLM museum is haunted. Some of my buddies went to see and we could just feel that the ambient was dense and dark. Some people even as far as to say that they have heard the cowboy man walk. In all honestly, I mostly spend my time chilling on the warrior zone but the museum oozed that haunted vibe. I think we only went once but you could just feel something was wrong whenever you drove by it.
One of my favorite channels and the personal stories at the ends are the cherry on top ❤
I very much enjoy listening to your stories. Glad to hear you are training a crew. Good luck
Yet another great episode, Luke!
Hell yeah, another great episode right after I get off work. Thanks guys and y'all keep up the good work!
I remember when Y2K was about to happen, I was very excited and happy that the Internet was going to cause the end of the world!
Man what a disappointment! I had at least two months worth of alcohol saved up just in case it happened!
I really wanted to watch the chaos people running crazy down the street.
I was stationed in 29 palms. Me and my wife saw a person that wasn’t there, had doors open, heard scratching in the walls (too big and drawn out to be nice), and heard someone humming a lullaby to our newborn. Saw videos other residents had posted when they caught voices they didn’t hear until they played it back saying “kill it” while filming their child. Half of our activity happened when we would wake up at 03:00 am.
Brother there are not words for how much I hate the desert. Its hot during the day, chilly at night, sand constantly gets in your clothes, in your weapons, in your eyes..it really is a miserable place to be.
5:43 Sounds like paradise for me. I'd rather be soaking wet and shivering from the cold than be under the sun light.
I absolutely love this channel. you’re so good at telling these stories, you make me feel like I’m actually there, experiencing these things for myself. I can’t wait for the next video
My husband was a paratrooper in the army back in the early 90s. The families were invited once to watch a jump from a C-130. It was impressive. You talking about the terrible parachutes the military used brought that day back to me vividly. That lack of steering capability was notorious. That particular day my husband landed on uneven ground and fell backwards hard enough to crack his Kevlar helmet.
It's just weird to hear you say murdered himself instead of he committed suicide. I guess you can't say that word on TH-cam. What a world we live in now. Great episode one of your best. 💯👍🇺🇸
It almost sounds like a catholic thing.
It seems "unaliving a person" is preferred phrasing as well
🙄
Now there are so many words that you’re not supposed to say on TH-cam , that sometimes I can’t even understand what they’re trying to say
Ridiculous af !!!
Hahaha my wife just said same exact thing
I was out my yard as it is now almost 11 pm at night and had observed some strange lights and orbs in the sky and I came back inside in time to listen to these stories. Perfect.
Thanks for doing Ft Lewis! I personally had experiences on North Fort. I was issued a barracks room to the left on that pic about the new barracks built in the 2000’s. Anyway, sometimes late at night you would hear what sounded like a Plt running calling cadence. I often felt watched in my barrack which culminated in having a cup of ice water on my nightstand thrown in my face. The night stands were a little shorter then the bed so it couldn’t have just fell and splashed on me.
I was stationed at Fort Lewis as an MP in the early 2000s, years before the merger with McChord AFB. I worked on the desk where the alarm panel was located. I don't recall ever hearing about the museum ghost or the associated alarms. That's a shame. Thanks for the story!
My favorite channel for spooky true stories.
As an amateur author and someone with an imagination that often runs away with them, I find me stories absolutely fascinating.
Keep up the great content man!
Love this channel.
Gosh, can i just compliment the sentence structure and story telling in general! Its wonderful on this channel keep it up! too many times i've found some great stories to listen to, just to find out the narration is following a way of speaking that just repeats itself over and over and over. It gets really really hard to listen to. I cant say enough how much I appreciate the sound of actual conversation in your narration!
Superior vocals and narration, well done!
That was absolutely brilliant. Just as well-made & creepy as always. Thank you!
Love this channel and the stories. Keep up the great work!
I lived at Yokota AFB in the late 70s through the early 80s. I’m amazed that the scenery in the illustrations are so accurate! The first panel, showing Fuji Yama was the exact view I had while looking out of the window of my bedroom. My family lived on 7th floor of one of the East Towers. The design of the apartments and base housing is exactly what it looked like living at Yokota Air Force Base at that time.
I lived in American Village, in Fussa-shi before getting base housing. My family lived briefly in the East Towers and then moved to the surrounding bungalow style housing. I never knew about the incidents in the East Towers, although I wish that I had. I was in Jr HS and then I attended Yokota High School at the time and lived on the 7th floor of one of the Towers.
My brother and I did both have a paranormal experience while we lived in American Village. One night we saw a Japanese woman with long black hair, looking out of our bedroom window. It’s probably a coincidence, but our living quarters was located practically across the street from the old abandoned Tachikawa Air Base, which had long since closed and sat vacant.
My friends often wanted to sneak onto the old abandoned base to explore and drink alcohol, but I always talked them out of it. The abandoned base looked very spooky and I didn’t want to risk being caught. I didn’t want to be a reason that my father would get chewed out by the Base CO. I was a good kid and I’d just never allow myself to get into that kind of trouble.
We were also located a short distance from a small local Japanese burial shrine. Being dumb American teens, we sometimes went to the burial shrine to drink and act goofy and behave in a generally disrespectful manner. I’ve often wondered if my careless actions were the reason that a Japanese woman ghost was in the bedroom I shared with my brother.
Thank you for sharing this great collection of paranormal military related stories. It’s great to see one from the AFB where I used to live.
Love the stories and notifications and look forward to more...good video 👍
This TH-cam channel is just too underrated to be honest. The narration, research and editing is majestic, it feels so wrong watching this for free.
Keep the content coming!
My dad's last duty station, and mine as well, was Ft. Lewis. I always got a creepy feeling of being watched in there when I'd bug him to take me to the military museum, or later doing PT runs past the place during my enlistment. The common rumor was always of someone in the upper floors looking out from a window late at night when the place was closed.
It’s amazing and wicked to see real experiences of people.
The minute he said 29palms, I was like “oh, yup”
I love the desert around 29 Palms. I live in LA, and I try to get out there as often as I can. The desert is my home.
I really enjoyed your personal story at the end, I'm pretty sure most civilians don't ever think about how dangerous just the training can be.God Bless all of our soldiers. !
Love the paranormal stories but man you had me rolling with your war stories at the end.
I was an Army Reservist and we did our pre-mob at JBLM. We stayed in those barracks in 2010.
The only thing worse than someone farting in an elevator is being stuck in one with a shadow person 😂
My grandfather and I used to go to the Ft. Lewis Army Museum every summer when I visited him in WA State. He was a retied army Col. and this was his favorite building on the base. His middle name is Greene, descendant of Maj Gen Nathanael Greene. Fascinating coincidence!
I love the smoke pit stories, they are the best ❤
Great work, guys.
I look forward to more ghost-stories by you.
Ghost-stories told by service-members and set on bases are a lot harder to come across than experiences that happen in other settings.
Y’all have the market locked-up and I’m loving that, as well as your presentation, illustrations
…not to mention the narrator has the perfect voice for reading aloud …y’all have the total high-quality package here.
I would love to know if this woman really believed she was possessed… Do you know of any online forums where it has been discussed?
I really have no idea where to start
Dang it! I lived on JBLM for a year (was supposed to be two year but my mom and I had to go home early due to being aleric to just about every plant on the base) while my dad was stationed there, and I had no idea there was an alleged haunted building I could have visited.
Your channel is one of a small handful that I check often to see if you've uploaded. I appreciate your effort, your time and creativity you put into these.
💙
