If you know of any other ghost tank stories, by all means share them.
My dad and brother were both MARINES my dad Solomon Island's WW2
I know of a ghost story that has hunted the tiger tank 131. Apparently the story goes that after the tiger got inspected (And found no bodies because they all ran) it got put on a ship and scented to the U.K. But after it got unloaded some soldiers decided to look inside and were shocked to see a bodie ever since then it supposedly hunted even though when people stayed overnight with the tank no paranormal stuff happens.
It's on yt somewhere so I can probably find the vid if you like!
@@Steamky-qy5nv Find it and give us the title.
@@DinnerForkTongue The title is: Is Tiger 131 Haunted?
By ConeOfArk
This happened to my grandpa in the 70s. He was a cop in Hungary at the time, and one night a foreign looking truck with no plates speeds passed them, and they chased it until it went off road, and crashed. He said they could see the dust, and the headlights rolling over, and over through the dust. They went down the embankment to look see if the driver is alive, but what they found was a wrecked German WW2 truck (probably an Opel Blitz) that looked to have not moved since '45. It had bullet holes, it was rusty, and the tires were rotten. It was the truck they saw go off, but it couldn't have been it due to the age.
They later found out that truck was hit in a Soviet ambush in '45.
When stuff starts to stack itself and fly off the walls inside a tank, it's just a Panzergeist.
Tank ghost is best ghost
Damn, beat me to it lol
Panzergeist is an amazing name

One anecdotal story I heard a long time ago is from the Battle of Stalingrad. The German were having a problem with their tanks being targeted by a tank they couldn’t find. The did eventually find out how. A shot up, burned up T-34 tank wasn’t quite dead. Though horribly wounded, the crew would start it up and creep through the nighttime ruins to shoot at the Germans. Then return to their “parking place” to resume their role as a “wreck” in the daytime. I do not know if it’s true or just a tall tale.
On the surface, it sounds very plausible. But considering the fact that Stalingrad is one of the most documented and talked-about battles in human history, it makes the story seem not true. The story of that tank crew would be common and talked about often. It wouldn't be a tale that practically nobody has ever heard of.
@@DeadPixel1105 There are certainly many, many things that happened in Stalingrad which got lost over time.
Generally, war is hell - but Stalingrad was another level.
Most participants surely did their best to forget what happened and get on with their lifes.
And just because we know from the records which commander sent how many troops where we certainly don't know every little thing that happened there 80 years ago.
I'm more suspicious about the why. A tank on it's own, without other tanks and without infantry is very vulnerable.
Even at night in Stalingrad - a tank wasn't invisible. A T-34, like all russian tanks to this very day, smokes like a steam train. It is big, it is loud, the tracks rattle and squeak - you won't go unnoticed, even on a noisy battlefield.
Sneaking up on the enemy, destroying enemy tanks with it's main gun and sneaking back into place is simply impossible.
That's why I think this is a nice story - but not more.
That's as real as Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny. You can't just "sneak around" in a tank, especially a soviet tank. Loud as hell, pumps out smoke like a dam chimney. The tracks moving alone can be heard for a kilometer. Not to mention the density of soldiers, there would have been many enemy witnesses who watch a "dead tank" start moving and shooting. Then for the tank to creep back to its "parking spot" come on now, do you hear yourself talk?
Ooooo this is a fun little story
@@stanislavczebinski994 A little more plausible if you consider there was no "quiet time" during the battle where people settled down to get some Z's and the guns fell silent. It was pretty much non stop artillery, gunfire, air raids, and other vehicles motoring around. Plenty of bright flashes to ruin night vision too. But again, it's still likely a tall tale.
I’ve experienced something similar while stationed at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa in the mid 2000s. I remember walking up the outside stairs of my dorm building up towards the 3rd floor and happened to glance out over the horizon toward the flight line. For a split second I swear I saw what looked like a WWII era Japanese Zero fighter plane taking off from the runway where our modern F-15s usually took off from. It was literally a split second and it happened so fast that to this day I still second guess myself on if I really saw it or not. I haven’t told anyone about this because of how crazy it sounds. But after watching this video, I feel better knowing that others have experienced something similar before.
do you think it was a time slip incident?
@@zahinelahi2655 why would it be a time slip if its a zero taking off from an american base. doubtful that would happen in history
@@robinkendall4454 It's an American base today, but in ww2 it was Japanese.
🎵”Let’s do the time warp again!”🎼
I’ve had a similar incident while I was working as a contractor. Was in an old WW2 era hanger working late one night. I’ve heard and seen things there that I can’t explain. I’ve heard the starting and rumbling of a propeller in the main hanger even though it’s used for testing modern fighters. I’ve seen pilots in old ww2 era flight gear very briefly just as how you described it. It’s bizarre.
Gives the name "Ghost Division" a whole new meaning...
Ah, more Sabaton?
Glad I'm not the only one who though of this.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Aye! (Starts playing the bassline to the song)
@michaelandreipalon359 the invasion has begun!
haha yes! the german ghost division was at tobruk actually!
in the late 1980s I was stationed in what was then West Germany as a mechanized Infantryman. We had a particular M113 that was said to have been used in Vietnam. This vehicle would randomly start up, usually at night when no one was around. Our Motor pool guards would have to call the staff duty NCO to get someone to come down with the keys to unlock the vehicle and shut it off. Often the vehicles was switched off and the fuel cut off was already pulled, thus meaning the batteries would have to be disconnected. Finally the order was given to disconnect the batteries every time the vehicle was secured for the night. Sure enough, that didn't stop it from happening again. Finally the vehicle was shipped off when we transitioned to Bradley Fighting Vehicles in late 1989.
It wanted to run, a stationary M113 is a dead 113.
It hungered for Vietnamese blood
Well well the Omnissiah is real
The APC got PTSD
Woah 😮 now that's a good story.. wonder if it might have been hit and someone died in it while in viet.. maybe patched up and shipped out. Ghost starting it up?
My father served in the Canadian army during the Cold War as a tanker.. during an exercise in an area close to the Hurtgen Forest, he was on radio watch on a foggy night, and he heard the sounds of tanks moving off in the distance.. except no one was allowed to be moving any of their vehicles as they weren’t allowed to be doing manoeuvres at night. He said it was pretty creepy to hear that specially considering his proximity to Hurtgen Forest.
Did he get any radio chatter when it happened?
0:03 Years ago I worked with a guy who fought at Chosin. He was a machine gunner. Not many guys from his platoon survived. He talked about watching all the Chinese overrun his position and the way he survived was, because it was so dark, he turned and ran right with them until he could slip away somehow. He talked about all the guys who lost digits because of the frostbite. He was a hard nosed old guy. His name was Clarke Bennett.
THAT is amazing
Wow
Epic story and smart move
I've heard a very similar story about a tank in Egyptian Sinai that was destroyed in 1973 war. One soldier who served in a military point near the tank said that the patrolling soldiers used to take this destroyed tank as a shelter during the cold nights including himself. But in many occasions they got alerted by noises of a battle going on around them or even the distressed voices of the tank crew.
Wow your granddad was a great dude. Do you have the schematics if those antennas? I am a radio amateur
Your story at the very end reminded me of my grandfather, earl morley, who was a radio operator for a Sherman tank in Pattons third army, fighting through France. He would have loved this video. Unfortunately he passed away from lung cancer when I was very young. He was a heavy smoker, like a lot of other guys who fought through that war. He told so many stories. I really miss him.
Your dad was based man ❤
Your dad was brave as hell man don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Dad?
Bro said Grandad.
Bless your grandfather ❤
Your grandfather was in Patton's 3rd? Was he one of the many that defied his "return home" orders, forming a new army with American and defeated German soldiers, in order to attack the bankers that funded both sides of WW2? Damn shame Patton was murdered in that "car accident"
The Moment you said "The Black Ghost" a township truck plowing the snow off the road outside my house hit a massive patch of ice and made a really loud screeching, grinding noise. I just about crapped my pants lmao
It’d be funny if you called 911 to complain about it like those people who call 911 when their McDonalds fries🍟 are cold. 😂
🤣
@@The_ZeroLinethen turns out they are wanted for murder 😭
@@AdamM-zw7fp LMAO. That guy and acorn “I’m hit” cop need to pair up for a reality show.
Speaking of the Black Ghost it reminds me of that legendary black 1970 challenger with a white stripe around the tail driven by a cop involved in illegal street races. The reason why they called it the Black Ghost is because the car was obviously black and the cop happened to be African American and would rarely show up to races and when it did it always wins. The car I think is in a museum right now.
I served as a tank crewman when I first joined the Army. You have my deepest condolences for your loss. Supposedly, the Armor Museum in Fort Knox, Kentucky is haunted. When you realize almost every piece of equipment there that isn't a prototype was used during some conflict, you can imagine the blood and bones that those hulks of oil and metal have seen.
This country produced over 80000 tanks during ww2, and most never left the country, because we needed a large army at home too.
I think a large majority of our tank losses are still in Europe, and I've seen a few dead Sherman tanks in Elesenborn Belgium. I don't know how many they would have brought back home that would have been destroyed in combat, knowing our government's propensity of leaving military equipment all over the world.

Normal people are already asleep at this time.
This doesn’t involve armored vehicles, but back in 1977 I had recently got out of the navy and decided to drive from California to Iowa to visit a buddy who I had known while on active duty.
It was in Nebraska just at dawn, it had been storming on and off for several hours and I was leaving a highway restaurant/truck-stop driving up an entrance road to get back onto the interstate highway.
It was just beginning to rain again as I passed an old car that was pulled over to the side of the road with three women standing behind it.
One of the things that I noticed was the three women weren’t doing anything but standing there behind the open trunk staring at me as I drove by.
I was still going slow enough to also observe the left rear tire was flat.
In that second or two I decided to see if they needed help with changing the tire.
By the time I got my car over and stopped I was probably 50-60 yards ahead of them on the shoulder of the entrance road.
As I exited my vehicle it really started to pour down rain.
I hadn’t even had a chance to get my driver door closed when I looked back down a totally empty road. Nothing, no old car, no women, nobody not a thing. I could still make out the lights of the restaurant back down in distance.
After standing there a few moments more stunned, and getting soaked, I headed on to the highway, but decided to go back to the restaurant. Half believing I might be able to retrace my drive back out of that restaurant parking lot to see if somehow I could explain what i had experienced.
You should've gone back inside the restaurant and described what you saw. It is said that such "apparitions" are reoccurring and the locals would likely confirm what you saw, plus explain the back story behind the apparition.
@@SevenSixTwo2012 I did go back inside the restaurant.
Just didn’t get a chance to finish typing out my experience on my phone yesterday because I was interrupted.
Anyway…, I did return to the restaurant and sat at the counter again and had another cup of coffee. The middle-aged waitress remarked that I had just been in there 10 or 15 minutes ago and how I looked kinda pale now.
I was really reluctant to admit why I was freaked out, so I just told her something to the effect that I thought I hadn’t got enough sleep and was starting to see “things” in a humorous casual manner.
She looked at me kinda funny and went on with her business. I then asked her if she earlier had three women customers in the restaurant that morning traveling in old beat up car.
She said no, but then asked me if that’s what I’d seen after leaving earlier. I said a wasn’t sure but I thought so. She asked me if they were all wearing calf-length dresses? She went on to describe other details of the ladies and the car that exactly matched what I had seen including the flat tire.
She said you’re not going crazy, lots of folks over the years have seen the same think. She said the best anyone could figure what people are seeing from time to time, especially during rain storms, are the Flannery sisters and their mother all killed on the old county road that paralleled the state highway prior to the construction of the interstate highway. They were hit by a semi truck while pulled over changing a flat tire. Happened around 1946.
My whole point for boring everyone with this experience was the fact there was an automobile apparition involved, not a tank, but kinda close….
@@parrot849 fucking hell. what an encounter and what a back story.
I love seeing these experiences shared, the UA-cam videos may or may not be written stories. But the comments sometimes have first hand experiences, which is great 👍
Bruh I got chills reading that. And I'm trying to sleep
Whoever made the decision to put the “young Marine” from the last story in a Dodge Charger… *chef’s kiss*.
Probablly got that 25% apr to go with it. My wife works at a bank doing collections and 90% of her job is calling lower enlisted about paying their car notes lol. Only a few are ever honest. One dude had a ram 3500 and straight said "i can pay the car note, or gas......not both"
@Banthisyoutube-zs6sx Same thing happens in Canada. I used to love doing repos on Base. No one was gonna do anything stupid or give you a hard time.
@@sharonrigs7999 i used to rwnt tools at home depot and we had a guy go awol with a 2000 dollar carpet cleaner. We tried for 3 months to get it back and work sonething out with thia guy. After 3 months we called his command and it was outside our door the next morning. I bet his 1st sergeant was PISSED dude is probablly still being PT'd as we speak.
Your grandfather sounds like a great man, I'm sorry for your loss.
Agreed. Glad I stayed and listened to that
My Grandfather served in the north Atlantic on convoys to Murmansk, lost him rather young in 1976. My sympathies to you Luke on your Grandfather. I'm glad you shared something about him, you honor him and keep him in remembrance by doing so. Always a thumbs up from me.
Hello there, my friend. My late father was a Royal Navy gunner, who also sailed on the 'convoy to hell', PQ17; had two ships sunk from beneath him on that run, was adrift for 36 hours in a lifeboat and survived. (He always said the lucky men were the ones who didn't come back - they didn't have to live with the consequences.) Like yours, he died early. For all I know, your grandfather and my father may even have met. God bless.
@@JohnDavies-cn3ro It's interesting to me that your Father spoke of "the lucky men were the ones who didn't come back - they didn't have to live with the consequences" My Grandfather didn't speak much about the things he went through but after his passing, I saw in his records that he was put in a hospital for a month for some kind of stress disorder before being allowed to return home. I have quite a few photos of him and his gunner mates in front of their weapon. Our families might even have been shooting at the same things. God bless you and your Father as well.
my grandfathers brother Uncle Munro (both now deceased) was a navy sailor on the russian convoys, then his ship was sent to support a convoy to Malta where it was sunk. he survived but was taken prisoner by italian fishermen and turned over to the Germans. Apparently ran into a mate in the POW camp who had been caught at dunkirk. Never spoke about his experiences except for once, to an author who was putting together a book of stories of WW2 veterans. My mother has this book in her little library, that was apparently the only time he ever talked about the war.
@@gregorturner4753 I'm glad your uncle made it back. With what he did and went through there were plenty of chances not to. You're fortunate to have an account or at least some of your Uncles story in that book. Over the years I've known, been friends with and spoken with many veterans about their time in service. For some it seems to help and for others putting behind them and moving on is the right path. I'm glad you mentioned your Uncle Munro here, I can sense the honor for him in your words and by mentioning him you give him remembrance and acknowledge his service.👍
@@Montana_horseman Indeed, my father had two ships sunk from under him on PQ17 - the first, the fleet auxiliary 'Aldersdale' was lost when bracketted by bombs from a Ju 88, which dismounted her propeller shaft, and she had to be 'fished' by an escort ship. The second incident was even more harrowing; he and his mates were adrift for 36 hours in an open lifeboat. Almost at the point of despair, he said he saw the sky suddenly light up, and fill with a vision of angels which convinced him they would be all right. A 'bone collector' (rescue ship) found them about an hour later. I tell you the story exactly as I received it from him; make of it what you will. He was not an imaginative man.......
Oh my goodness! Your grandfather was one of the Frozen Chosin?! AMAZING!!! Your grandfather has my complete and total respect. I’ve read several books about this series of battles. I can’t even fathom what your grandfather went through. Wow, just wow!
My great grandpa was a tank commander in the Korean War he commanded an M4a3e8 sherman tank. In his obituary it says that he went from private to staff Sargent in the first few weeks he was there while fighting in some of the fiercest fighting of that conflict. I never got to hear many stories from him, at least that i can remember. I was 8 when he passed away in 2014, because i was so young i never thought to ask him anything about it. Even if i did i doubt hed want to tell an 8 year old about the horrors of war lol. My grandma told me something he had talked about a couple times before he passed. This is what my grandma said that he told her "i kept getting promoted because everyone above me kept getting killed." I dont know as much about him as i wish i did, all i know is he helped me become who i am today and i wouldnt want to change that.
Years ago I've met this guy from Ukraine at a music festival. One night we were drinking and sharing ghost stories, he told us that apparently, you can hear sounds of ghost artillery and tank fire every May in the Kharkov area. There was a massive battle there during WW2.
@@cancermcaids7688
it's all about relativity. People, places and things. Residual & intelligent - spirits either are stuck in familiar places or eras, or like negative energy, can just be anywhere in the atmosphere.
There were like 4 battles there
The Black Prince was a Churchill, not a Matilda. Churchills are MUCH bigger and have a distinct shape that would be difficult to mistake for a Matilda, not to mention The Black Prince was only a prototype and was never fielded.
It was a HUGE tank, where-as the Matilda II was relatively compact. It would not be mistaken for a Matilda II. This is also not factoring in the BP prototypes were not available until 1945, long after North Africa concluded as a theatre.
he never said that it was a Churchill
@@Slavicplayer251Precisely! The Black Prince was an updated Churchill Tank, not a Matilda!
The images in the video used to illustrate the Black Prince are the A43 infantry tank, which is the wrong Black Prince.
There was however a radio controlled Matilda II tested in 1941, which was also called the Black Prince. The Wikipedia page on the Matilda II has some info.
It's a fair point and I thought straight away the same. I was goin to say something but then saw you already had .
To be fair to Luke. It's one of the first mistakes I've heard him make. I'm voting forgiveness. 👊💛👍
Glad someone called this out. It couldn't have been a Black Prince, since the Black Prince looked *nothing* like a Matilda, even in the dark illuminated by only a star flare.
I was a kid on Yokosuka US Navy Base in the 80’s, and I found wrecked Japanese tanks in the mountains, & explored WW2 tunnels that ran throughout the base. Ghosts were common!
My best friend lived on kwajelein when he was a kid and has similar stories but it was all coastal defense stuff. He moved stateside the same time we did been friends for 35 years he ian't just my friend at this point he is my brother......my daughter who is 2.5 just called him uncy greg for the first time over new years......my BIL was pissed cause she still doesn't call him uncy lol.
What did the common ghosts do?
You see any?
There's a good Russian film called White Tiger that is about a Tiger that just appears out of nowhere, destroys entire scores of T34s then vanishes into thin air, worth a watch. Awesome content as always 💪
Yes a ghost tank.There is halloween mode in world of tanks every halloween that showcases ghost/revenant tanks.
Great movie .
My grandfather was ALSO a Radio person in the Korean war (though he was army). but he was stateside the whole time, and it took a long time to convince him he was legit a vetran. its one of the things that always made me sad. he was proud of the work he did, but didn't consider himself worthy of anything because he hadn't fought. he'd joined as a contientious objector. he wanted to help, but didn't want to hurt people. I think that makes him even more special.
He wasn't a veteran, and it should be considered stolen valor to consider those who were stationed stateside and didn't see combat to be called veterans. They should be called their proper name, cowards. -A actual veteran
@@LeiSnowsYou're not a veteran.
Still a veteran, my sister would know as she worked with veterans in a VA years ago before having to retire as it were.
my grandfather was the same way - he deployed to vietnam with the air force as an air traffic controller and never called himself a veteran because he felt he wasn't deserving of it the same way the guys who fought were
@@LeiSnows you are really not so sympathetic. Don't you feel sad if you were in the army but never got to see fighting?
Back in ~2009 when I was in the military. A lot of us saw ghost tanks in the woods when my platoon was camping in the frozen nordic forest. It was night, freezing cold temps and everything was pure white because of the snow and moonlight. We had to sit in the snow all night and make sure that we're not going to get ambushed by the "enemy". The cold and pure white snow could easily play with our vision, lack of sleep on top of that. I did not myself see it but I heard people seeing it on 2 different flanks and our camp was set on alert. We talked about it the next morning when marching forward and many days after. People even believed that our 2nd platoon in the area was playing tricks on us somehow. Cool to find out that ghost tanks are worldwide thing.
My dad told me a story about a trip he took to Gettysburg with a couple of friends. They did this night walk with a group. The area that they were in had been witness to so much that there was an overwhelming sensation. Talking to the tour guide, who had been doing this for a number of years said that never fades can’t explain if it’s the fact that knowing what took place there or is it something else? I believe anywhere something monumental has happened it leaves an impression.
In the words of Rod Serling
“It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.”
I've seen a ghost plane. I live near an old base where they used to fly in ww1, I've seen a bi plane flying around and even a guy walking wearing the goggles and old leather jacket. There's a few eye witness accounts on the ghost too.
Is it Montrose Air Base?
Oh, it's not a tank but my grandfather was an oilfield man working in North Africa back in the 70's. He and a crew of men set out across the desert in trucks heading to a drill site. A few hundred yards from the drill site they came across an abandoned dead U.S. M-3 halftrack, it was half buried in sand but even if it wasn't the thing was dead and wasn't going anywhere under it's own power. As he returned to HQ, he saw someone climbing into that halftrack wearing an M-1 helmet. Any plains he had of salvaging that halftrack went right out the window.
Yesssss.... this has become without a doubt one of my absolute favorite channels on all of UA-cam. And having been a fan and subscriber of WtS since the very beginning, I'm super proud of the success Luke has managed to attain here. So darn cool.

My grandfather was a paratrooper in Korea and his stories were absolutely horrifying. Even in training as a paratrooper there was a very gruesome death that happened. Korea was no joke. It messed him up for life all the way up until his death recently in his 90's
Same with my Pop. He just passed away a few yrs ago, 96 yrs old.
I loved his stories though.
My Grandfather's stories were his greatest gift to me, the material things have been lost or broken over time, but man, those stories, sitting there hanging on every word, some i heard multiple times, but their were those he only told once, and he like me now had tears in his eyes when he did so, the afterword was very personal and it hit me in the feels. Great stuff. Hug your Grandparents fellas, just my 2 cents.
How great that your grandfather was able to tell you about how he rigged that tank with radios and antennae. Now you know he was the one who first figured it out and that you can attribute it to him. That's an incredible thing to be able to do, connect him directly with the tank. Thank you for your videos and the research and work you do creating them. I'm not in the military, know little about it, but I still find it fascinating.
Love these creepy military stories.
My brother, aside from Okinawa, Camp Lejeune in North Carolina is probably one of the most haunted places I've ever heard of. Let alone have ever actually been to. I was there briefly in 2007. One of the other females permanently stationed there told me there was a particularly mischievous spirit there that plagued the female barracks. Whose victims, as she explained to me, would awaken in the night with their doors left wide open, their blankets ripped off the bed, and their underwear pulled down around their ankles.
I didn't believe a word of it, of course. I responded with my standard dismissive snark, "Well goddamn, it sounds like dead male Marines are just as forward as the living ones then." The two other girls with me laughed it off. We didn't think nothing of it at the time. But sure enough, in the week we were there on transitional layover, it happened to two of the three of us. Myself being one of them. I didn't hear, see, or feel a thing. I just awoke from the uncomfortable draft in the room, to sure enough find my door (that I know I'd locked) ajar, blankets yanked off all but one corner of the bed, and my drawers pulled clean off at the foot of the bed.
Damn pervert ghosts……..
Scream at them that their ghost mothers would NOT approve of their actions!
Then Catholic guilt trip them for an hour……..
Hmm idk.. sounds like maybe some marine was maybe drugging yall thru the vents or water or sumthn 😂
This shows that the Machine Spirit is a loyal but vengeful entity, protecting its crew but raining death on its enemies
I heard a story from a no bs guy back in 1998 he was in Germany at the hoensfeld training area. One night inside a humvee they set operservation post on a side road. They heard the sound of a armored vehicle approaching but could not see it. The tank kept getting lauder and lauder and closer to them. They turned on the lights to the truck and got out to look. They never saw the tank but it sounded like it drove right on top of them, but there was no tank there. During the war the area was a German controlled pow camp and military base.
Thank you for sharing these stories. My Dad was a driver in an M4
Sherman during WW2.
I was never stationed at Lejune ,but I did visit my daughter and son in law at MCAS New river that whole base was surrender by forest. Driving at night in Camp Pendleton and 29 Palms was creepy. Semper FI.
As a 19E10B8 (M60A3 w/TTS) Tanker that served on M551 and M60A3 tanks from 1984-97, loved this episode. Thought it was funny that you mentioned "blowing things up" in your monologe. That was exactly how I became a treadhead. At age 17, I went into the Army recruiting office after seeing armor,arty and several other MOS on the sandwich board. I asked the recruiting Sergeant "Sergeant, I get off on blowing things up,and aside from the obvious, what IS the difference between tanks and artilary?" His reply was:" Artilary you shoot things from a great distance,and , may not know if you get a target. With a tank, you see what you hit".
I did basic at Ft.Knox six weeks after I graduated high school in 1984.
Tanx for another great episode and keep up the good work,Luke.
I loved hearing about your Pop.
My GrandPop was a WW2 Army Sgt, out of Cape Hale, Colorados 10th Mt Division. He told me many stories that were so insane! He saw eerie, unexplained lights while training in CO (like orbs)
He went to Italy, then thru the Alps, and made it all the way into France. He lost alot of his men, I think Bob Dole was in his infantry! But Pop helped us win the war. One of the coolest, most sweetest old guys I've ever met. He died a few yrs ago, 96 yrs young. I sure miss his stories. Thank you for all that you do with this channel.
I know Pop would've LOVED IT.
I once visited the spot where Camp Hale used to be. The 10th Mountain Division has always been my absolute favorite unit
People have reported seeing and/or hearing battles that supposedly took place centuries ago in places like the UK and the American South, and which are often presumed to be re-enactments - until the combatants vanish into thin air. Whether it's Roman soldiers they're seeing, or Union and Confederate cavalry tilting at each other on the field, these phantom warriors always have their rifles, spears, armor, banners, etc....well, isn't a tank just an advanced piece of kit? If these apparitions are somehow "recordings" or impressions made by long-deceased warriors in their final moments, why wouldn't the tanks be there too?
Just a thought.
Great video, Luke!
Dude I can’t stress to you how much I love your content! I listen to your vids while I restock shelves at work, and it helps keep me entertained.
This reminds me of a lesser known movie that always intrigued and stayed as one of my favorites for a long time, it is called White Tiger. The movie talks about how the wickedness and evilness of the Nazi controlled Germany was embodied into a tank that would live forever haunting the battlefield, as a metaphor on how this evil would never die, even if it's bringers already passed away.
Thanks - having seen the previous reference to the film (unsurprisingly not shown on the BBC) I'd wondered how the Ruskies handled the story. An updated variant on the evil, revengeful dead theme, but quite surprising given its country of origin. I wouldn't have expected it to come from Russia.
i actually remember reading the Nazi tank story from the 2000's they said they had some weird things happen the next day/ night finding more German bodies more singing and "partying"
I know of a story out of a German museum that they have an original tiger tank that fought in ww2 and every so often they see a german officer staring out of a window into the museum in full dress uniform they have also heard the engine of one of the tanks crank over and running but as soon as someone goes to investigate it shuts off
There's a similar story told about the Tiger in Bovington Museum - the one used in the film 'Fury'.
Man!!! I was an Abrams tanker, 1stCav, based at Fort Hood, and I've never heard of these stories. Thanks for this! 😁
Great stories as always! This reminds me of a TV show I want to say was on the Travel Channel in either the late 90s/early ‘00s. It talked about “ghost planes” and some of them were military. A few such stories took place in the UK and consisted of WWII-era planes flying overhead or seen crashing, but no noise and then seeming to disappear. Love this stuff!
How is this channel's production quality so good? It's mind blowing how Luke can output Hollywood-level content by himself, working in his basement or wherever. He's like the Tony Stark of narrative podcasting.
My next door neighbor served in west Germany during the Vietnam era . His base back up to an old tank training ground . He said that in the surrounding forests at night you can hear tracks and mechanical sounds that he only described like tiger tanks ( used the tiger from Saving Private Ryan as reference) . He said he never saw anything only sounds .
I remember as child in the early 1960s reading an account (possibly from something like "Ripley's Believe it or not") of several stories by tourists and residents in the French coastal town of Dieppe who reported on different types of "ghostly manifestations" of what may have been the 1942 Dieppe Raid. These seem to have taken the form of witnesses attesting to the sounds and/or sights of aspects of the battle, including shouts, gunfire and explosions, or actual sightings of ghostly images of troops, landing craft and vehicles moving around the beach and its environs. Many, but not all residents heard or saw these, but it seems there was no evidence of a hoax (or some bizarre stunt propagated by tourist authorities). Regarding the "Black Matilda", my late father, a British officer who was blessed with multi-lingual fluency, sometimes read a German veterans magazine called "Der Landser". I remember him clearly relating this story to me about the Ghostly Matilda tank which he had read in "Der Landser", because we had just watched a silly American movie called "The Iron Maiden" about a buried German tank in North Africa, and it brought the story back to his mind.
You can also find the Dieppe story in "Haunted World War II" by Matthew L. Swayne, along with the Russian ghost tank story from this video and many other strange WWII stories. Totally worth reading IMO.
You had me curious about this "silly American movie" so I looked it up. Try silly British movie... I guess USA is not alone in making silly things :)
It is a silly American movie - my poor memory - its actual name is the Steel Lady - the Iron Maiden movie is British - but nothing to do with this.@@panzer948
Camp Lejeune has many tank crossings across the regular roads on the base. Real easy to miss the tank crossing signs...plus, the tanks do not always cross at the signs, you just have to keep an eye out. From what I understand now, there are no more tanks on Lejeune, so if you see one, it must be a ghost tank.
Luke, your channel is my favorite on all of UA-cam. The videos are awesome, super informative & well illustrated- I have been following this channel for awhile now, and with each new upload, you always keep the content fresh & constantly outdo yourself. I never served but love Wartime history/ stories. Best
Chris
There are plenty of ghost/phantom ship stories out there, so I don't seem why this couldn't happen with land vehicles as well. Events in time, leaving their imprint on the environment.
Agree. There are even stories of ghost planes.
Exactly
Hats off to you sir, I’ve seen every one of your videos, & idk how you do it. I try finding channels with interesting topics to fill the gaps in your upload schedule but it’s like they’re voices don’t draw my attention like yours somehow does, and I can’t ever pay attention long enough. Love your vids and of course I appreciate your service greatly and hearing personally about it genuinely inspiring. 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Vehicle ranp at Camp Schwab Okinawa was reportedly haunted by the spectre of a little Japanese girl playing and hiding among the armored vehicles that sentries would see late at night requiring the area guard to respond. My barracks room mate told me this first hand as he had been a responder the night before. Oki is creepy at night as is Lejeune, Pedleton, and 29 Palms. Especially the Palms
My friend lives out at Palms. He had stories for dayyysss.
Unbelievable
@@harlowjademermaid1882 hauntingly beautiful place. It was amazing, really.
@@harlowjademermaid1882 29 Palms?
Can confirm, I was stationed in 29 palms 06-09 and did a lot out ITX/Mojave Viper/MOUT out in the desert in between deployments. One night after finishing night ops in a MOUT town the whole platoon was just hanging out waiting to be secured for the night so we could eat and go to sleep. A bunch of us saw weird lights in the sky. As an AAV unit, we’d be all over the training area depending upon who we were training with or if it was just company level training for us. You’d see weird lights in the desert that didn’t make sense like out on the other side of the mountains toward the meteor crater just off base. You’d swear, on fire watch you’d see shit walking around the desert scrub at 0300. One night, on fire watch in 2006, it randomly snowed with no clouds above. I know it’s snowed in 29 palms, but it was extremely odd and there was no coating of actual snow when it stopped. I’m sure some things can be explained like by scrappers and stuff that enter the base illegally, but what are the odds? 900 square miles of desert. Lots of destroyed tanks and equipment out there. People have been found dead by wondering into the base and dying of dehydration. Ghosts? Maybe. I wouldn’t doubt it for one second.
@@gatermap I was a tracker, too, gater map :) 85 to 05
Stumps was unlike anywhere else I'd served.
People, objects and events can become imprinted at a particular place. This type of thing has been witnessed many times, we merely do not understand the physics behind it. Great episode, many thanks👍
Correct. Ghosts are residual psychic energy - which can extend to inanimate objects as well. The imprinting occurs in the astral plane. Accounts from people who have out of body experiences often talk about there being different stuff in their house, like furniture from a previous owner.
This was a great and super entertaining video!
I'm from Finland, and i've heard many many stories of people running into the ghosts of finnish and russian soldiers in the woods of eastern Finland while they've been out camping or hunting.
I'm not really a believer in the paranormal, but all the things i've heard have been spooky and interesting lol
Part of me is oddly happy that a Matilda may be still driving around in North Africa.
Great video, thanks for yet another one!
Churchill not Matilda he's wrong.
@@desertfoxxx98You're wrong and confused due to the image.
The Matilda Black Prince was an experimental RC tank. The first prototype was built 4 years before the Churchill Black Prince in 1941. The reason they canned the idea was the fact that they needed an entirely new clutch and gearbox, which proved too costly. 60 were ordered, and there is an image of it online. It mistakingly gets called the Cromwell Black Prince due to the fact they mounted the A27 turret onto the Matilda Mk II.
So far, you're the third person to get confused by the image and get it wrong.
@@desertfoxxx98it is matilda black prince not the regular black prince
Please do something on Gettysburg if you could.
Being in 2nd Tanks we had all kinds of tank crossings along the roads at points. I was in when the M-60’s were still in service. Only bridge area I remember was near Onslow Beach. If that. But, out in the back stretches by Courthouse Bay was 2nd Amtracs, and it could get spooky out there. Easy to loose sight of blacked out tanks once they crossed the pads.
But Tanks cased the colors a couple years ago now.
I remember the drill as an amtracker, road guards would go out on each side of the crossing to stop traffic. Usually a couple of very tired lance corporals in need of sleep and a shower. After platoon crossed the "scrapers" would shovel the clay and mud left on the hardball from the tracked vehicle. All would then climb back in tractor and off you'd go. The tank trails were treacherous to drive on and its where you learned the art of cross steering and applying brake and gas at some time.
Good days
Gas and breaks at same time I meant
@@haleygerdes5248 I had to pull road guard a few times. We had a car try to fly by us way over on the other side of Bluebird. Road flares, flash lights, vests, 4 ways on for the jeeps, all that. It was a station wagon, damned near t-boned a M-60 crossing on the pad. Hadn’t screamed that loud since Boot.
So good to see a new video come out from you! I've pretty much run clean through every one you've previously put out. Keep up the great work. I look forward to these more so than the other creepy story telling channels I follow.
I always love when you drop personal experiences of your own in with the stories. Great work Luke!
Another very interesting set of stories. Always worth a listen.
The Black Prince shown was a much later design, essentially based on the Churchill and in fact referred to as the ‘Super Churchill’ with the aim of mounting the 17pdr gun that physically could not be mounted on the existing Churchill turret ring. It first appeared as a mock-up in September 1944, the first of the six prototypes built only rolled out of the factory in January 1945 and it never went into service. Considering that it was built and tested around the same time as the Centurion prototypes, Black Prince was really a non-starter as Centurion was superior in every essential metric.
The Matilda Black Prince was the codename given to a 1941 r/c prototype based on the A12E2, a one-off Matilda which was re-engined with a 7ltr diesel and had a Wilson gearbox and steering system installed which could be made suitable for r/c. The intention was to provide a mobile target tank for gunnery practice or as a means of drawing enemy fire to reveal the location of enemy anti-tank gun positions and even as a crewless demolition vehicle packed with explosives ~ think the German ‘Goliath’ on steroids. 60 Matildas were ordered for the project, the whole thing then being rapidly cancelled once someone intelligent pointed out that they’d all have to have their transmission system modified or replaced since the standard Rackham clutch on the Matilda wasn’t suitable for remote control activation and this was (rightly) deemed to be more trouble than it was worth. So as it never actually appeared, it couldn’t have been anywhere near Tobruk!
There is a story in indian army .
It happened in gwalior cantonment or ambala or fatehgarh i don't remember.
But a certain tank would start up on its own in its shed , move a few metres and stop .
A new sentry was petrified, when he saw this first .
He created a ruckus and was harshly repriminded for disturbing others over a routine occurance .
The story goes that , the particular tank was part of a desert exercise when a young tank driver drove away for leisure , and sadly got trapped in it .
He was alone and perished in the tank .
The tank was continued in use, it was a centurian tanks version named vijayanta.
Isn't there also a story about a ghost from the indian army who protects a mountain pass in the hindu kush mountains. If i remember right he died fighting a rear guard during the last indo-pakistan conflict.
Have we had ghost aircraft? M.
I spent almost a year at LeJeune , the Amtrak’s run through there 24-7. But I have seen some strange stuff there. At Courthouse bay, we would have to pull guard duty a couple miles deep in the woods near the steel pit near the water. We were up in a tower. At that time, some Marines had been jumped and locals were steeling M4’s. So we were given live rounds and locked and loaded. While in my tower one night, I had what appeared to be a group of men speaking a language I couldn’t recognize running diagonally left to right about 300 yards out. I reported it and we scoured about two miles of terrain. We found foot prints but no bodies. They led down to the bay but we lost the prints further on. No idea what we had that night.
Love these stories you present, especially your visual aids. Keep up the excellent work!
War Thunder getting too realistic
Just what I need to get through some of this 12 hour midnight. Thanks for all you do!
when I love how detailed your videos are and the level of professionalism I love you man this is just like I am listening to a story from my grandfather
Great video. Hearing about your grandfather was the best part. Thanks for sharing!
Luke my Father was in 1st Marines Dog company. He was a vetran from the Chosen Resivour. Maybe they chewed up the same ground. My father didn't talk about his time spent in wartime. I really wished that he would have. You have my condolences for your loss. Love your channel. I would like to talk with you about how I could go about getting his Marine records?
Love the work you're doing man. Got Tales from the Gridsquare vol. 1 for Christmas and can't wait to crack it open. The weird shit our guys see never gets the attention it probably should.
That is amazing! I can’t believe that you found all that info and photos about your grandfather. What an ingenious guy. You shared an incredible link with him, and it’s easy to hear the wonderful pride you feel in him when you speak about it. I am really enjoying your channel, I’ve only just found it. This must’ve been my 6th or 7th video in a row at least, lol. Excellent videos, thank you!
Just wanted to say i really enjoy your video's and i think its cool how you close them out continuing to tell about your experiences.
Many old wartime airfields and aerodromes in England are haunted too. Planes starting up and phantom pilots doing ground checks and the like.
The tank museum in Bovington supposedly has a haunted tank. The tiger tank, tiger 131 is supposed to have a ghost called “Herman the German”.
Supposedly when tiger 131 was first brought back to the UK the body of a German soldier was found inside. Ever sense tiger 131 found its home in the tank museum. Night guards reported seeing a man dressed in a German tank commanders uniform, looking out over the top of the museum.
He was also seen walking around the
Great video. Was happy you included the story about your grandfather, may he rest in peace.
One of the only youtube channels I've watched every single video of. Pretty pumped seeing a new drop.
I have had experiences where soldiers walked past me... One such incident I was past by a RED COAT... I heard the metal rings and stuff clinking and I heard hooves stomping on the ground near the soldier. The strangest part... I thought he was a re-enactor BUT hearing the hooves but seeing no horse anywhere... This lone soldier in British Garb staring me up and down like I was the OUT OF PLACE PERSON... I was walking to a buddies house through a wooded park in my town aptly dubbed VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK. It was before they messed everything up to put a museum of imitation weaponry, with the exception of one of the few Hueys to make it back from Nam. They also put in a section of Trees, each one dedicated to fallen vets SUPPOSEDLY from our state but there is NOT ONE SOLDIER FROM OUR STATE IN THAT TREE PART... I am in CT. Anyways... I was on the phone with my buddy as I was walking through, he had called first to see where I was exactly and also he wanted to know what I wanted on my pizza.... "Bacon and uh... NICE GET UP..." "Bro who you talking to?" "This guy in a full british red coat... WHERE THE HELL DID HE GO??? Bro I am serious as a heart attack... This dirty looking dude just walked past me staring me up and down like I was the one out of place... While he was all in Red Coat Garb and I could smell the gunpowder" "I believe you bro, I have seen strange shit in that park to..." Told him what I wanted and kept hiking trying to shake that soldier out of my head. Later on that same year I am in that park again with another friend and we see a Revolution Militia Soldier go running across one of the fields and belly flop to the ground and take aim at something in the forestry and as the smoke billowed from his musket... The sound never came but as the smoke cleared away, so did the militia man... This friend was the same friend that witnessed a 747 flying in reverse at an angle before spinning around to fly straight, we have seen lots of strange crap in VETS PARK. My Second and most Terrifying encounter with the tall hairy folk of the forest was also in that park. He was PISSED, damn drunk drivers, you see something run out in front of you a good fifty feet up and you got the balls to slam on your breaks and scream get out the road before realizing you didn't just almost hit an 8 ft tall person who roars at you and then leaps a chain link fence to enter the park and as you peel out screaming in terror, this thing takes up a position on a small hill by the road to grab two trees and violently shake them roaring and blowing a fit... I was on my way home after an double shift at my job up the road it was 11pm so everything was dark as hell, BUT I COULD SEE THE ROAD AND THE SASQUATCH CLEAR AS DAY thanks to the street lights. Haven't ran into that sort of thing since, just ran into them, locked eyes, smiled and waved as if they were normal people, never had any issues with them and they are not as MEAN as people claim them to be. I have had two wave back, brought a smile to my face when they did the whole one hand in the air wave and a no tooth shown smile back like I was doing. Now as for vehicles... Never seen a ghost vehicle. I think I would bug out a little if I was cut off from my destination by ww1 tank...
Heck yeah I’ve been waiting for a new episode to come out! 🙌🏻
Laughed out loud at the Honda Civic bit. Thank you for that! And thanks for the awesome episode overall! Top notch quality as always.
Great video!
I've seen videos about "ghost aircraft" in the UK - in particular, Lancaster bombers from WWII flying low over the countryside - often with no sound. I've seen several accounts of "ghost Lancasters".
Former RAF Gaydon had a ghost story about a B-17 that crashed there in bad weather in 1944, all 10 crew killed. My great aunt was on a farm nearby when it crashed and she saw it go down. There were other crashes there too
Thank You Luke and Crew,
Channel Members, Luke's Grandfather, and all those who contribute their personal stories to this channel's content. God Bless and Stay Safe out there.
Wow, these are some awesome stories, dude! Especially the unexpected connection you had with your grandpa. Very cool!
My great grandfather was navy from 1942-1947. My great grandfather was on a cruise from Hawaii to Okinawa, they passed near Midway Island and he remembers seeing A6m Zeros, F4F wildcats, dauntless, and Japanese aircraft carriers, this cruise my great grandfather was on was in 1974, so mechanized machines being ghosts I can see that
Ha! I was about to hit the hay, wishing there was another Wartime Stories, my favorite bedtime watch, and here we go. Nice.
I fucking love this channel! I loved talking paranormal at the smoke pit, while off duty, just to kill time while hurrying up and waiting. This channel is nostalgia for me of being a soldier in the mid 2000’s.
I've been binging the whole channel and finally man I've been dying to see the new vid I appreciate everyone who helped made this video thank you
Just discovered this channel. Awesome stuff here. One of my grandfathers was a Marine in WW2 with the 3rd Mar Div and he never talked about his experiences until I graduated from Parris Island. I was stationed at Camp Lejeune in the early 90's and can confirm that there can be a lot of eerie fog at night. Never saw any ghost tanks, but you do have to be careful driving some of those roads at night on the weekends as you can accidentally end up in an artillery range. Arty always practiced on the weekends so that they could close off certain roads. When I was there someone forgot to close off a road and a colonel's wife was killed. The colonel was the CO of the artillery unit that was practicing that weekend.
My Uncle Chris fought in the Korean War and one night while on watch duty he and others heard a tank rumbling towards them from the enemy lines and then more could be heard. They were highly alarmed and had nothing to stop tanks but expected to be over run and braced themselves but the sound of the tanks then stopped. They waited all night and still expecting to be attacked but nothing came or were the tanks heard again. As the light broke there was no sign of any tanks or any evidence that any had ever come close. They were left wondering what had happened.
Psychological warfare : enemy blasting tank sounds through loudspeakers in the distance.
Firstly, I love your videos. It really entertains me to the point I do some research on these report.
Secondly, at 17:06, sorry for being "that" person, it is not a Black Prince nor any experimental vehicle. The Black Prince was a British tank project for the British Army's answer to the heavy German tanks like the Tigers and King Tigers. It is in the same program with the Centurion tank. Both the Matilda II and Black Prince are far from similar as the Black Prince's chassis is largely based on the Churchill tanks, hence the similarities between them. And also, the Black Prince never saw combat as it was a test bed/experimental tank.
You're wrong and confused due to the image.
The Matilda Black Prince was an experimental RC tank. The first prototype was built 4 years before the Churchill Black Prince in 1941. The reason they canned the idea was the fact that they needed an entirely new clutch and gearbox, which proved too costly. 60 were ordered, and there is an image of it online.

@@ryanfreebody6881 No, I mean't the drawings they shown.
My ex was a gunner in Operation Freedom in a tank. He was PTSD all the way through,poor guy.
Also just want to say that this channel is truly enthralling. Superbly done, I literally hang on to every word. Yes your days of blowing stuff up may be over, but you have another gift and I think (and hope) that you're going places with this.
And my God, the end about your grandfather and the porcupine tank, that's incredible.
If you think about it, some ghosts stories depicts the ghosts fully clothed and even carrying weapons/tools. If when a person dies, it can bring a manifestation of whatever they had with them, why not a tank? A tank is usually crew by 3-5 men. If they all died, they might have enough energy to either recreate or "bring" the tank into the spectral world.
Yeah, I like to think that if there is an American Valhalla per “There’s a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere,” my old issue M16A2 will be there waiting for me.
Not quite the same, but sorta.
When they say ghost tanks but Erwin Rommel isn’t anywhere to be seen

A few ghost stories from my time in the Marine Corps.
Camp Lejeune
When i arrived for duty in mid 1980s i heard that years before the divisions arty bn would live fire on base requiring the main road connecting mainside and Onslow beach to be closed to traffic as the rounds would pass overhead. Sometime in the past a car had managed to proceed during a shoot and female driver was killed by a short round. It was said it was none other than the arty battalion commanders wife who was a known kleptomaniac and often caught stealing in the base exchange.
Strange story if true but i know i heard it for sure.
Triange Out Post (T.O.P.) Gate was reportedly haunted and was written about in base paper one halloween i remember while i was there for sure. Something would mess with the armed sentries at night i think. Growls and noises and scratch marks on the roof of duty hut i think i remember it said.
when i was a kid back in the late 60s early 70s there was a comic book called " the haunted tank" a RC tank would be difficult in the 40s due to transistors not being invented yet. and power tubes being very fragile.
The Haunted Tank is a comic book feature that appeared in the DC Comics anthology war title 'G.I. Combat' from 1961 through 1987. I bought some of those comic books back in the 60s & 70s, LOL.
@@samiam5557i had a stack of weird war comics that were my dad's when he was younger i loved those cpmics and they were well read and ragged. Think i still have them floating around in a box somewhere. The yeti that was hunting down american pilots and chinese troops was a good one, as was the time slipping sherman tank getting dumped in a bunch of future wars. But my favorite was the ww2 germans that got trapped in a ww1 british grave in a cave and the undead tommies killed them all.
yea thats it -- they kept changing the artwork tank from a stewart to a m-10 to a easy-8 ! no matter though all the tanks were haunted!!@@samiam5557
