Though I would NEVER claim to fully understand what our brave Men and Women experience while on tour overseas, I was just given a small taste through watching this.

    When I was deployed to the Middle East I was tapped/shoved on the shoulder once. I looked around but I was in the middle of the desert. No one around me. Right after I heard in my head "delay your convoy." I was only able to delay for a few minutes but my convey missed getting hit by a scud missle by a few minutes later down the road. I personally believe it was my guardian angel helping us out.

      People often make light of these type incidents, when I was in South Vietnam in 1972, our entire battalion deployed to Hoa Cam ARVN training center outside Da Nang for field firing and zero all weapons. It was a hot clear sunny day and three of us walked out of the range area with our weapons and gear, can't remember why. We're walking down a dirt road, I'm in the center flanked by two other soldiers, we're talking and moving slow because of the heat. Suddenly in my mind are the words STOP!!!! So I come to a sudden halt putting my arms up to stop the two others. In the dirt at our feet is a line of bullets hitting the dirt. We run back to range area and discover we're taking incoming machine gun fire from the ARVN troops firing in another area. Inner voice? Well maybe.

    You said "Helmand", and I got chills. Then you said OP Rock in Helmand, and I freaked out a little. I started my Marine deployment in Oct 2009 and spent 2 weeks on OP Rock where me and a small group existed in a cycle of eat, sleep, and pull 8 hour watch. Our sleeping area was dug into the top of this hill, and there was something off. Everyone talked about how messed up their dreams were, and the guy who'd been there for almost a month, who had seen many groups come a go, said the crazy dreams happened to everyone who stayed there. By the time I was there, OP Rock was fortified with sand bags, hesco barriers, and razor wire. The first human remains I saw was a large femur bone laying in the sun just outside the wire. Eventually those of us who were new on OP Rock asked what the hell was up with the place, and we were told a story of British soldiers starting an OP on a grave-site, and you covered the rest, and more. I was a part of the group who demilitarized OP Rock. We cut open all of the sandbags, and took down the wire, and burned everything we could do away with. I found skull caps, jaw bones, and other small fragments inside the hundreds of sandbags I cut open over the course of two days. Unfortunately, some human remains ended up in the fire. Ugly Betty actually was with us the last night we were on OP Rock with her latest litter of pups. Other people had it worse than I did with weird experiences, which I attributed to my strong Christian faith, but in the end, the weird stuff just happened for me later. I saw two people walk down a the road by a place we called the Taliban School, and stop by a power pole where they started digging. I alerted my Sgt. who looked through his binoculars. He asked me where they were, and as I pointed to them, they weren't there. My friends and I heard children laughing in empty rooms, saw glass break with nothing around to break it, had flashlights turn on and off. I began having horrifying bouts of sleep paralysis while finishing that deployment.
    Sorry to write a book, but its not every day someone covers something so obscure and familiar.

      Gentlemen there are many things in this world that we do not understand. Things that we can not explain in our modern 21st century brains we think we understand it all. We do not! It doesn't make you crazy, it doesn't make you foolish or stupid (even if others treat you like you are)just keep in mind you went and did a job in a part of the world that is older (culturely) then most. You did a job most of us would not, or could not do. You put yourselves in a position of Vulnerability. For that all of us owe you a debt of gratitude. Just like walking through the sand what happens someplace often has a "mark" left behind. You would not thinking twice about a footprint in the sand even if it turned out to be 1000"s of years old. Because we understand that. You walk across the sand you leave a footprint. And as long as it is not disturbed in any way it will be there forever. The same thing can happen with virtually anything. A small foot print won't last long, but dig a deep enough hole in the sand and it will last much longer. You were places that saw HUGE holes being created. It is no less amazing that you experienced the effects of that "hole", then if you had fallen into one literally dug into the ground. The thing I find amazing is not so much that you did experience something, but that others did not! Ok sorry I really did not intend to get so deep into the metaphysical. I just wanted to say thank you, and let you know, that I for one do not find our lack of 100% understanding of how our world works, that bizarre. So please don't feel "crazy".

    I was up at night in the barracks pulling CQ duty at fort drum. It was early in the morning about 3 am. My sergeant had went to his room to take a small nap so I was there alone. I was exhausted and sort of dozing off when I heard someone sprinting down the hallway towards me. I immediately perked up to see nothing, but as the footsteps went by, I could feel the wind from the person running by. As this invisible person ran past me and into the barracks entry, the propped doors slammed shut. I went to the entrance and looked outside to see if I could identify this person, but there was nothing. I told my sergeant when he got back and he just said, "oh, you met Sgt Duncan". Sgt Duncan was killed shortly before I arrived to the unit.

    I have a close friend who was in the Army and he told me a story about his first paranormal encounter while in Afghanistan.(I'll call him A and I'll call his friend B)
    He became really close with one of his fellow soldiers, they were always together, they made each other laugh and had similar interest. B was send on an escort mission, they would return the following morning. While A was asleep that night, he said he felt someone's hand gently shake him awake, he thought it was one of the other soldiers in the same camp. He remembers turning around and seeing the silhouette of a soldier in full gear, so he panicked like "oh shit what is happening?!" and then he turned around to frantically put his glasses on and we turn back around the person was gone. He was so confused and didn't know what to make of it so he tried to go back to sleep, so he wouldn't wake the other up, but he was restless the whole night. The next morning he found out B's team was ambushed and he had passed away in combat in the middle of the night. A said when he heard that he realized the person who gently shook him awake, was his friend who might have come to say his final goodbye.

      @@skimask5911 It's everywhere in Latin America, and it can be disturbing af when you first think the stories you're hearing are just campfire tales for fun, only to then experience the same things yourself.
      I've lived in Ecuador 7 years now and during COVID there was no one using the little sport stadium/public assembly building across the street from my neighbors who had just welcomed a newborn to their family. Yet suddenly, there were sounds like children yelling and playing at weird hours in the night in the stadium; a few times I went to check with my dogs because emergency services never responded where we lived, even if there were fires, yet there was absolutely no one inside and everything was locked. Weirder still, the sounds didn't stop, but seemed to somehow be on the roof of the complex, which itself would be impossible since it's one of those steeply-arched tin roofs you'd expect on a WW2 aircraft hangar. Maybe you can move around on top of it with tools and construction equipment like safety harnesses, but zero chance there could be a dozen kids running around kicking a ball.
      When I talked to my neighbors about it who lived across the street from the complex, it turned out they were terrified because everything had started the first night they brought their newborn home, and they had heard footsteps and the same laughter and yelling on their own roof ever since. Shortly after, they told me that one night the grandmother had a horrible suspicion someone was trying to break into the house, checked every possible entryway into the house, and when she drew back the curtains covering the window of the baby's room, she screamed and woke everyone up because she saw the twisted, gnarled face of an old hag. Until then, they had been waiting to get the baby baptized until the restrictions were lifted and family from other provinces could make the trip, but after that experience they rushed to get the baby baptized ASAP...at which point everything stopped. I never heard any sounds coming from that complex again until it was officially reopened.
      Down here, the belief is that witches are rare but real, and they seek out newborn unbaptized children to steal before raising them to a certain age where they will then be used as a ritual sacrifice and then consumed cannibalistically; supposedly, that is what allows them to continue living past natural limits and basically makes those consumed souls permanently their thralls. So according to those beliefs, all of those weird sounds of children playing and running around and shouting in the middle of the night? Those were the witch's previous victims who for eternity are now bound to her and used like lure for new victims, much in the way an angler fish would do.
      I'm not making any concrete claims here one way or the other; all I can speak for is how weird it was and the timeline of everything. But my opinion on what is the scariest part of all of this? It doesn't matter if any of it is real, or if I believe it, or if you believe it...the scariest part is that there ARE people who believe that it's real and act as such, meaning there are people truly stealing babies and raising them for ritual sacrifice. Evil is evil, and it exists; whether or not the magic part is real doesn't change the fact that people truly suffer as a result.

    My uncle did 3 tours in Vietnam. He told us a story that his platoon was walking single file thru the jungle and he heard his youngest daughter call out to him. He shrugged it off as of course she couldn't be there and kept moving. She called out to him again, sounding more forceful, from behind some bushes. He left the line to check it out. Shortly after the soldier that was in front of him stepped on a landmine. A guardian angel in the form of my cousin saved his life that day.

    Well there's a story from a veteran Russian soldier who serve in Afghanistan. He said that when he was posted there there were paranormal activity in desert such as hearing charging horses rumbling sound and people shouted war cry, but when they check it there's no one but themselves staring at empty desert field. Another that terrified them was hearing people hauling in agony and screaming in the middle of the night to dawn but there's no people there's no fighting, only dessert sand and rocky mountain wind echoing. They even see like middle age soldier wearing armor and sword walking through the tent or watching them from afar.

It looked like troop movement and even got to the point that we were waiting for people to come at us. We watched movement all night long and at one point sent a patrol of men to confront whoever it was. When they came back they were scarred and said they never saw anything but heard people talking and footsteps. That happenened in 1982.

So I would not doubt it is legit about the dog. But it would definitely not shock me that they have some very active haunted battle sites around the world that troops have been stationed at. But have a ton of paranormal energy given all of the trauma and death those areas have endoured. Not to mention all the blood spilled onto and into the soil and dirt.

The very fact that there are innumerable souls all the way back to the Greeks under Alexander, wandering its hot, sunny deserts and craggy mountains, silently whispering their way through history not knowing that time and mankind has left them far behind...
    It settles deeply the reality of how Afghanistan really IS the Graveyard of empires... And it now has American souls wandering there, alongside Russian, British, Mongol, Indian, Pakistani and Greek souls lost to time and the marching beat of war...

      Afghanistan used to be the western boundary of Hindu civilization in ancient times. Hindus were eventually pushed back to mainland India where they established fortifications against invaders. Western invaders were stopped at Afghanistan for centuries which is why India was never converted to Islam all these years. Even when western empires attacked India all at the same time, there were 7, they still could not defeat India thanks to its indigenous warrior race.

Strongs Concordance, precise linguist transl.hebrew and greek says that what took place in Eden was in fact Eve's adultery. The very word woman - H802 root comes from 'adulteress'.

Hundreds of people have been dying in this city and it was just... quiet. Not like ominously quiet but almost calmly quiet. No spooky vibes or anything.

    I was walking passed the derelict, bullet riddled Soviet made hangars when I noticed someone walking towards me about 150m away. I figured he was just another late night walker at this point. As the figure grew close enough, I noticed he was wearing a Soviet era Afghanka uniform and had an AK-74 slung over his shoulder and .... his legs faded away to nothing below the knees!
    I was stunned in disbelief as the figure passed right by me( giving me a brief static like chill) without any sign of acknowledgement. I kept my eyes on the figure until he faded away to nothing about 15m behind me .

    The one personal story that defines the changing of fate, was when I was nineteen. Towards the spring of nineteen eighty-one, I found myself in the Canadian Military. A far cry, from the sixty-one I am today. As I was preparing for one month of leave, my original plan was to backpack solo through Great Britain, Scotland, and then finally on to Paris, France. Having remustered from the Infantry after our training platoon was taken off active standby for war in Afghanistan. I stayed, while most just $ off, and ran home to Mommy, such heroes?
    One guy who I hardly knew, had overheard my conversation with the barrack warden concerning my month-long leave of absence. Just by chance, Perry asked me if I was into psychic phenomena? Hell, yeah, my mom was Acadian French from Northern New Brunswick. If you've been to the state of Maine you've been to New Brunswick. and I had more than my share of hearing Mrballen-type stories growing up. Again, l hardly knew this guy, maybe said hello twice?
    The night before my trip, Perry asked me to come to his room, have a few beers, and then the reading would begin. Dude went into a trance, said a few things I now forget, and then stated that I would meet a dark-haired woman in Switzerland who would want me to go with her, but If I did? I would be murdered. I thought, okay, I am not going to Switzerland at all actually. Perry just stated over and over that I was in great danger if I went with this woman, and that he was never wrong. Okay, so be it
    The next morning I leave, and the trip begins. I was stationed at CFB Trenton, ON. The plane takes off, and we land in CFB Ottawa to pick up some senior brass, who are heading to either London where I was heading, or Baden Soliegen West Germany. Halfway over the Atlantic, the pilot announces that we had to bypass London, and would be going on to West Germany instead. So I had to replan the whole trip, now remember this was old school Europe on five dollars a day, real old school when social media was television, books, and radio only
    The plane lands in West Germany, and man it's hot and humid as %. I look at the distance, say & it, and decide to backpack through Western Europe. So my nineteen-year-old self, boots around Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Sweden, back to Copenhagen, on to Munich, watching the East German border pass by, miles of landmines, and barbed wire. Freaky stuff from back in the cold war era, when President Putin was still a KGB Colonel in East Germany
    The train leaves Munich for Innsbruck, then finally on to Paris, VIA SWITZERLAND. Now I had forgotten Perry's words completely. I was fixated on Paris as the last stop, and then back to West Germany, and finally Canada. At this time I had wayyyyyy too many beers and bottles of wine to even remember? Still, I was young. So I am standing in the isle way, just enjoying the Swiss Alps zoom by, beautiful memories just caught up in my thoughtsMany people love the corridors, allowing you to collect their thoughts.
    Down the hall, a woman with DARK BROWN HAIR approaches me. The woman is in her late twenties? kinda plain Jane, a solid five plus in looks, starts asking me the usual questions, and then asks if I want to spend some time with her in Lucerne? Sure, why not? Again, fate had decided on what decision I should make?
    The train pulls in, and I am standing on the platform. To this day, I still recall the train for Geneva on the right side, just pulling in, and waiting, as if for me to make the decision that would determine my fate. I look at the dark-haired woman on my left, and she's passing up and down frantically. I ask her if she's cool? and she gets very belligerent telling me to not ask questions, that she's waiting for someone, and then just as I say, its okay $ lady, I am good to go
    Then suddenly Perry's words come crashing into my head. To this day, nearly forty-two years later, I can still remember his face as I looked at that train for Geneva. Christ, I nearly fainted. Everything slowed to a crawl in time, I gathered my wits quickly, and wait until the woman with the dark hair moves down the platform, and then jump on the train for Geneva just as the conductor is boarding. I give him my ticket, walk into a cubicle, and watch the woman with the dark hair, looking up and down my train with some guy screaming at her in German, looking for me
    I held my breath, as the train pulled out, and as they walked back down the platform still arguing. I sat there, ordered four beers, and calmed myself down. The train pulls into Geneva, I spend a few days just walking around in a daze and then said $ it, forgot Paris, went back to the base in West Germany, and then back to my base in Canada. I arrive and call my mother who had fallen on her knees in prayer to God thanking him for my safe return. I thanked God and Perry. When I arrive, Perry asks me how the trip went?
    I told him the whole story, and the dude just looks at me and says, "I am never wrong dude, if you had gone with that woman, you would have never returned" By this time, I had had enough of the Military life, and just wanted to leave and enjoy freedom. And I did, on to other adventures in life. A rather long story, but one hundred percent true. ALWAYS GO WITH YOUR INSTINCTS, it may very well save your life

      SOLVED "VERY VERY LIKELY"
      I only have one possible explanation based upon a trivial piece of history ,..
      the oracle of delpi,..
      the location of the oracal of delpi was constructed upon a natural deposit of ethylene a research team discovered the presence of ethylene in the temples
      geology.
      Ethylene in large quantities can cause hallucinations, and if one breathed enough of it in they will hallucinate ,..
      the soldiers were exposed to base level of Ethylene just being there as it is in all the surrounding soil,..
      when they started to dig it released much more of the gas trapped in the soil.
      when they hit the pocket a very large amount was released basically in their faces. the effects can last as long as 3 days if exposed.
      not in the story but I'm positive happened is that when their radios went dead .. they prepared for a fight ,.. this would entail a lot of moving around perhaps more digging of lose topsoil and if not that now opened hole even if recovered may be pouring Ethylene upon them in massive amounts.
      it is not uncommon for subjects of extreme drug testing to share hallucinations,.. in fact their is a whole paper on the effects of acid i remember reading that talked about that aspect of drug induced hallucination,..and since they were paranoid about being attacked at any moment,.. their minds made that happen.
      the rest is just coincidence they got killed it was a rough place.
      p.s.
      this is entirely 100% PROVEABLE AS IN THAT LOCATION THE CHEMICAL "Ethylene oxide"
      WILL STAY LOCKED IN THE SOIL FOREVER ,.. ONLY PARTIAL RELEASABLE THROUGH AGITATION LIKE DIGGING THROUGH IT.

They are made from a smokeless fire whereas we are made from earth and are hollow ie jinn can pass through our bodies and possess you. Satan is a jinn. The evil jinn his army are called the shayateen although this can also be used for a corrupt evil people too. They can travel at speed unknown to man and have strength beyond ours, however all communication with them is forbidden and attempting to gain magic- which is just a contract for the assistance of the jinn, at the price of your soul and afterlife. It is at the very least, beyond disbelief in God what these black magicians do to gain “magic”. I advise you research into black magic, jinn, satan and Adam as story in Islam from thr Quran.

    I spent 2 deployments in Helmand province as a marine corps infantryman. Not only myself, but almost every dude from my platoon experienced hauntingly creepy shit at night at our outpost that was built alongside an old Afghan prison. Even the Taliban we detained and kept there would freak out and even cry because they said it was haunted. They were war fighters afraid of ghosts. At first I didn’t take it seriously. Until events started happening that I still can’t explain today. The things that happened were experienced by all of us not just myself. At first I chalked it up to lack of sleep and malnourishment. But then things began getting worse and more frequent to the point where I would see people walking up to our cop and when I would use my thermal vision there was nobody there. I heard people walking on my post and I would run out with my rifle thinking it was Taliban and nobody would be there. Then there was a ghost we all would see so frequently we would joke about it (as if we weren’t actually scared shitless). There was something sinister there.

Because of this, when they die, their spirits stay stuck in "our realm" and are ghosts. They are tricky and powerful and are here to steal, kill and destroy us pesky humans. I have been wondering just how active they are in the middle east, where so many have been killed, cause they just enslave and eat and worse to us, so I am very grateful for shares from people that have been there.

    When I enlisted in the Canadian Army back in late 1979. I was seventeen and green as $. After basic training, eleven weeks, we then went on to what was called TQ3 Infantry Training. To give you an idea of just how insanely tough it was, a US Army Sgt. described its level as being the same as US Army Ranger Training. Four weeks into our training, our platoon was put on active standby for the war in Afghanistan. The Soviets had come in hard and fast. I vividly recall the shocked looks on the other future soldiers/ghosts if we had been sent over. It's not something you will see in any history books, but it was real enough for the sixty-three of us who stood in the main hallway at attention
    I recall the stories of the British soldiers who were stationed at our base. Tales of their insane tours of Northern Ireland, that I still easily recall. Is this story true? Absolutely.

    I was in Afghanistan in late 09, was doing guard watch at a checkpoint, myself and 4 other Marines + one translator. we had orders to keep everyone from passing through the checkpoint. It was close to 11:30pm, we heard shuffling, like sandals on dirt, but we didn't see anyone. Out of nowhere this little old lady was walking towards us, we began yelling at her to stop, and had weapons ready. Our translator said she was talking to herself, saying her home was this way....her home was this way. We had him order her away, and kept repeating "My home is this way" but turned back to where she came and wandered off, the village she kept talking about had been completely demolished 6 weeks prior, 10 dead none survived.

    I’m originally from Afghanistan, but now I live in the US. I believe Afghanistan is one of the creepiest countries in the world because of all the eerie things I’ve seen and heard there. For instance, I knew two women from a village who seemed to be haunted by ghosts. These women couldn’t speak any language other than their native one, yet when possessed, one of them would suddenly start speaking Hindi, which is odd because she had never been exposed to Hindi through TV or any other means. She also exhibited violent behavior towards herself. Once, when asked why she was doing this while possessed, she said it was revenge because someone had accidentally killed her child. I have many more stories like this to share.

    Man even if some people may be skeptical if stories like these or are just skeptical in general when it comes to topics like this I think it truly paints a picture of so many things that go on in wartime that aren’t thought about enough by the average civilian. When war is talked about the first thought it always shooting and killing people. And things like literally sleeping on dirt away from society for weeks on end just trying to do your job really make me step back and think about the countless amount of things I take for granted every single day of my life. I work on an offshore drilling rig in the middle of the Indian Ocean and I stay there for a month and then come back to the states for a month and there are days in my ignorant mind that I think I live a somewhat “rough” way of life and then stories like this slap me right in the face with how idiotic my thoughts are.

Please search for "Harbhajan Singh ji " from Indian Army. He died in 1965 during Sino Indian war. He was from 23rd Punjab Regiment, and his own spirit helped the Indian Army to find his body. Have heard it from Indian soldiers that he still guards the border and protect Indian soldiers from dangers. He got promoted to Major and used to get annual leaves every year. He also has a temple built by the locals and is known as Baba Harbhajan Singh. If you or your friends ever visit India, do visit that place to confirm. Love from India 🙏🏼❤️

    I was in Afghanistan 2008 thru 2010 as a civilian contractor for the MRAP program. I spent over half that time at FOB Konduz. This story reminds me of something a detachment of Seabees found while they were there expanding the perimeter of the base. Being prior Navy myself, I'd befriended a few few of the guys. They told me that they'd unearthed an underground facility of some kind that the Russians had left. They said that it was full of machinery and vehicles. The Army wasn't interested and told the Seabees to bury it back. I had been told by some local workers on the FOB that the whole area had been an industrial complex the Russians built and tore down when they left. Anyway, Afghanistan is one horrid and creepy place.

    My oldest brother was stationed in Kandahar in the US army around '07-'08. We were watching the Kandahar giant video by you, and he told me he heard about it when he was there, too. When he looked at this video title, he spoke about one time he and his comrades exchanged gunfire with the "ghosts of Afghanistan," as he called them. He told me that there WOULD have been casualties, and when they checked the area there was no evidence of any hostiles anywhere, dead or alive. When I asked him what his thoughts on the reason for the happenings, he said the dead are still at war. Ghengis Khan was the only one to have conquered these lands, leaving his brother there to rule; that there are many descendents of Khan, Mongolians, in Afghanistan. But, there is also much death, he pondered every night, in this place. Since the beginning of time there have been countless wars and death in this place. It's no surprise that the kinds of things happen in places. The world and the universe isn't as small and limited as some may think. I know that there are things that us regular sheltered, safe, people will never get to experience or see. Thanks for the story, MrBallen! I'm happy to have gotten some good true army stories out of my brother after his interest was peaked at finding out what the videos were about.

      It’s never so “black and white” as people think and I’m most cases you are so paranoid that everyone becomes th enemy or the potential enemy, every area is governed by local tradition with its own agenda and are just so sick and tired of being dragged into this bloodshed that’s been going on for the eternity, even though was somewhat local, it’s impossible to relate to what you are Experiencing and it takes a lot out of you
      Once you start adapting you start losing your ties to your own reality that you are used to back home
      At that point you realize, you are not there for the flag or for your general, you are there for the guys that you became family over the days months and in some cases years
      Also, the shit you see in movies don’t happen in real life, when you start taking fire, you start unleashing hell without a particular target you are locked in to, I didn’t know many with balls big enough to stand and do a “Rambo” out there
      Your training becomes your biggest savior, and you just live on adrenaline and reflexes
      And soon you realize, nothing you do will make a difference for the betterment of their lives, Poeple that don’t have anything to lose will live desperately and every one you kill, 10 takes their place because they hold you(rightfully so) responsible for having no schools, no hospitals, no jobs and no safety of life

    At Fort Bliss I worked with the S3 here and there and their NCOIC at the time was a guy I knew well. We went to NTC in 2020 to prepare for a deployment and on one of my guard shifts on the .50 I kept hearing someone walking by the 113 I was on. I just figured it was guys going to take leaks and ignored it but it kept happening to where I realized it was kinda weird how I kept hearing someone walk by so the next time it happened I looked over and I see the S3 NCOIC walking by. So I whisper/yell over to him asking why he keeps walking by the 113 and if he’s good. Mind you I have nods on so I can’t see great but I know it’s him. He looks at me and says “yeah I’m great” but I got this terrifying rush of dread when he said it and it took me a second but when I process what I’m seeing I can see a ton of blood on his uniform and there’s a baseball sized hole in the side of his head. I yank my nods up and there’s no one there. I pull my nods back and he’s gone.
    He got out right before we deployed. He killed himself by gunshot wound 2 weeks after that.

Some of the comments here also describing a situation in which any wrong or unfortunate move could result in instant death. And for what purpose? I haven’t a clue about what ghosts are or what they mean, but I believe those guys experienced something. Willing to bet, though, that it wasn’t a curse that killed those guys at the end. Just the stupid futility of war. So glad you came back, even if barely, in one piece, Mr. BAlllen 🌞

      Shit thats happened to me before. In scotland we have some super old streets with super dark stories with them. I was walking up a lane called lovers lane, next to a graveyard and it was around 1 in the morning. I was heading home and had my earphones in playing and it happened over a specific song that i never listened to after that. But a whisper came through my earphones so clear that i just stopped and stood still and i got intense shivers. It was a womans voice, really soft and it called my name a few times. It was like the music went quiet and the voice was clear and loud over it. I whipped my earphones out and ran home lol. Avoided that lane at nights. But creepy stuff happend all around that fishinf village. Even in my house.

    Growing up a Navy brat and then serving 8 years in the Air Force, I heard stories all the time. I had neighbors in housing that were on the USS Forrestal and used to talk about how haunted that ship was. Phones ringing but nobody on the other end, seeing "shadows" walking into compartments that were empty. I remember when that show Sightings first came on in the early 90s, my parents had a couple of their friends over for a friday night of drinking and when the show started talking about ghosts they all started asking each other if they went to boot camp at Great Lakes and started talking about the ghost of Ricky the Recruit (supposedly a guy either killed himself or fell through one of the steam grates on base and burned to death.
    My first duty station was at Offutt AFB in Nebraska which was an old west fort (FT Crook) before it became an AFB. I took my girlfriend at the time there on my 21st birthday and she used to claim to see ghosts all the time. Well, one of the buildings on base was the old Bachelor Officer Quarters when it was a old Fort and was now the Distinguished Visitor Lodging. We used to get calls all the time from guests there that someone was in the attic partying at 2 in the morning. Normally you would shrug it off and come up with some excuse ect, but these are O-6 and Flag officers staying there so you had to call out the cavalry. Security Forces would get called and we would all have to go check it out. Nothing there, the attic was empty, not even used for storage. We suspected mice or something like that, but you would have a flag officer telling you adamantly that they heard voices and full on conversations. This happened a couple times there. So my girlfriend was going all off about how she can see ghosts so i took her there to the parade ground which had all these old brick homes that made up general's row and the DV lodging on one side of it. I asked her if she saw anything and she would say oh there's a lady in that one looking at us, nothing special. I pointed at the DV building, known as quarters 13, and asked if she had seen anything. She had stopped about 5 feet behind me and was just staring at the building and her face had gone white. She stood there for a minute and turned to me and said we need to leave now. I've never seen someone freak out that bad before, she ran back to my truck and started freaking out trying to navigate her way off the base (I was drinking so she was the one driving.) We got back to my apartment and I finally got her to tell me what she saw. Apparently there were a couple of "people" on the porch and when they saw her two of them came over to her and told her she didn't belong there. What gets weird is when i asked her what they were wearing and she said they were almost like the old civil war uniforms. She was from Virginia and was only out visiting me for a couple of days, so she didn't know anything about the base or it's history. Nor did she know anything about the building or not. But she picked out the building that was notorious for being haunted and described what they were wearing. That was probably one of the creepiest moments of my life, including the times I've had stuff happen to me personally that I couldn't explain.

      I had several friends stationed on the Forestall and one died there. They all told me the same story of who was the cause of the destruction... John McCain.
      I went to have a look at the Forestall after it made it back to port in Norfolk, VA. It was a real mess. You just can't imagine the destruction that made the inches thick steal look like it was shredded and crumpled tin foil. I have never seen such destruction. It was incomprehensible. My friend that was killed, ran back into the evacuated armory to get his girlfriend's letter and photo he had just received, when it was destroyed by a detonation from above that set off the armory as well.

    I like this. I was an optics tech in the Marine Corps once upon a time. Two combat tours in Iraq with 1/2. I had marines come to me constantly in deployment, saying that they could see people at night but the NVGs and thermals failed to pick them up. I always thought they were just trying to offload their optics for maintenance for a few weeks while we did troubleshooting and repairs. Makes me think now.
