It’s funny how you can be alone in your house at 1am and completely comfortable. Then you start listening to something like this and all of a sudden you’re checking rooms, closing doors, thinking you’re hearing noises and afraid to go to sleep. 😂😂
Literally me right now. It's 12:57 AM 😂
@@ReaperKezia I hope you were able to get a good nights sleep!
Switch to Night Shift; you'll be awake at those hous anyway and you might see things. I know I've had an experience or two, and so have the people I work with.
Pussu
bruh its 2:23 rn.
I was in Kandahar in 2012. I never saw anything supernatural personally, but some of my buddies claimed they did. I always believed them; I never saw any ghosts or apparitions, but it always felt like we were being watched (not just by the Taliban or locals). With a country so constantly plagued by warfare, Afghanistan is probably one of the most haunted countries on Earth.
What about Iraq ?
There's a curse on Afghanistan that dates back to the time when the land was predominantly Hindu. And the war fare and lack of peace was a big part of the curse.
@@kanamenoname210 lol it was a Buddhist country not hindu
@@muneeb-rl6cc you do know that gandhara (the original name of the place) is from Hindu origins right? And that Hinduism is the origin of budhism and at some point in history even India became a budhist nation after abandoning Hinduism for a while. Almost every budhist nation in south asia had hindu ideologies at some point. You clearly don't know the history of the region other than what's told to you by western education systems. 🙄
Anyways the point wasn't even whether it was a Hindu nation or not, but rather there are legends of the curse of Afghanistan dating waaay back (pre contemporary greeco/Macedonia exposure of that region)
@@muneeb-rl6cc It was a famous Hindu Kingdom Gandhara from which root word only Kandahar name arose.. This Kingdom was cursed in Hindu belief. Buddhism came much later. There is no Buddhism practiced in India, except at the sites where history is written. However it spread outside India. Hindus do not consider Buddhism as a sect of Hinduism as most of their philosophy was absorbed by Hindu reformers and philosophers.
The scariest thing I've ever seen in Afghanistan, was an Army Soldier running down the street butt naked at night. It was because of a crazy bet he lost.
Least paranormal experience in Afghanistan
You must be fun and parties@@padnomnidprenon9672
Yup that's pretty much the level of respect you can expect when we invade. Sorry about that :/
@@TwoTreesStudio Bruh really, you prefer a firefight? Or someone from the army streaking
@@TwoTreesStudioI feel like the streaking is more light hearted than warfare
In January 2010, I was a First Lieutenant serving as the acting commander of a company from the 101st Airborne Division in Afghanistan. One morning a Sergeant came to me, clearly shaken, and blurted at me “sir, I’m not standing guard in Tower 10 ever again. You can bust me, punish me, I don’t care; but I’m never pulling guard there again.” Surprised at the lack of decorum, but recognizing as a former enlisted man myself that everyone deserves a chance to be heard, I asked what happened. Had he been shot at? Did the possibility of a night engagement freak him out?
“No sir…it’s haunted!”
I looked at him trying to decide if he was crazy or telling a bad joke. I dismissed what he said and later found out that he asked the unit chaplain to do an exorcism on the tower. We found him a clerk position the rest of the deployment and then, in 2023 I watched this video. Goosebumps……….
did the soldier tell you what they saw over there?
If the lore is true so to speak. Things used to put things in the ground may not work on things from it. I understand his concern.
Cool story bro, but no way a sergeant is pulling a night time guard duty all alone, IF AT ALL. Also, for them to go directly to an officer as opposed to the next enlisted guy in charge? Yeah right. But fair play to you for throwing in the chaplain and exorcism part lol.
The being able to see someone through the night vision, but then NOT seeing them with binoculars or the naked eye is something I have heard several times from many different service members that served in Afghanistan.
Thermal brings out a whole new level of strange shit
The original invention that led to night vision wasn't for military purposes, it was created in the hopes of seeing into the spirit realm, it was successful
@@doggolovescheese1310 ur lying right brother?
@@michaelykwon ghost, monsters, aliens, angels, demons. Are all the same thing. Interdimensional energy, the same as us. Humanity’s hidden, been manipulated, brainwashed to this realm, with our imaginary fantasy world. Hell. The unveiling is coming.
@@michaelykwon why would he be lying? during the Vietnam War the first NVGs were tinted in the red spectrum and as my grandfather recalls he would see some of the scariest shit in those lenses. There's even a video on UA-cam about it, they interview a captain of one of the first platoons to try out the new tech and he said they would see demons and phantoms through them. That's also the main reason military NVGs are tinted in the green spectrum now but it's one of the more secret reasons too.....
Had a homie who spent close to 6 years in Iraq/Afghanistan in Army infantry. Every time we go camping I ask him about spooky paranormal shit he saw in the mountains and around Baghdad. His quote was always along the lines of “think of how much trauma has happened in those god forsaken places since war was invented, why wouldn’t there be ghosts.” Always got me thinking about what if you’re watching the spirit of a fkn Akkadian or some fuck whose been trapped in that form for literally thousands of years and they’re lookin at Abrams roll through. No wonder they act up
btw genuinely wondering, when these people served for a long time, did they already have partners back home? since they're western people/men with a western standard how did they do "something like s€* ua@l" things?
@@KimAhrina11 nah none of them were dumb enough to have a chick back home while they served. Asking for a dear John letter. They just smashed foreigns when in Europe or Asia and watched porn lol
I’ve been skeptical of ghosts since I became atheist, but the more I learn about physics and hear stories like these (especially the thermal vision showing a person that isn’t there) I can’t help but wonder if “ghosts” are just the past overlapping with the future, like something about a conscious being experiencing great pain in a certain place keeps them there/the particles that were there and that the consciousness inhabited, is somehow stored in that environment. Also while writing this I had to look up some stuff to remember what part of physics says time isn’t linear and it’s actually Einstein’s theory of relativity, which basically says time is relative to the observer and their movement through space. Anyway I’m just a dumb bitch that learned a basic grasp on physics through UA-cam and google searches but I find this stuff fascinating, and to think that the past might interact with the present/future is insane. I also was gonna mention quantum physics which has a similar but contradictory concept of time, but it would explain my idea better I think, which is quantum entanglement: particles are “entangled” with each other having the same properties and movement as one another, so maybe something like that happens? And ghosts are just past particles that are entangled with future particles? Idk if any of this makes sense or not but in my little stoner brain it does 😂
@@KimAhrina11what kind of question is that bro why would he know
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm an afghan born & raised in Pakistan. It was always very strange for me when my parents tell me about the ghosts and supernatural things in their hometown back in Afghanistan, until I personally experienced them in 2019 during my Trip to my village there, where I saw the shadows walking and disappearing, clearly whisperings and sometimes shower of stones upon my room & my running car from evening 7pm to morning 4am.
Salam aleikum brother I’m afghan I lived in Helmand and also experienced something similar with stones now did the stone throwing start in the evening times after dark?” For you?
@@jalilullahIshaqzai
Definitely brother, it was always from dark to dawn during which stones were coming upon me.
@@mnabi558 wow bro so did it happen when you moved to a new house? Because for me it was when my family moved to a new house that started happening
Those shadow people exist. I saw a shadow person at my local park. I told all my family and my mom and sister believes me and others don’t. But it’s true, they exist.
@@mnabi558 may be you were drunk that day cause ghosts dont exists. the drama an islamic peer baba or a christian/hindu exorcist does is for money. they all are fraudsters.
I remember our tower 1 was haunted. I told everybody to watch their back and everyone thought I was crazy. Then slowly but surely everyone else on camp starting experiencing what I was living through every night. That 9pm-4am shift really sucks. Watching the sun rise on the longer shifts felt like the biggest relief cause I knew once we had light all the bad shit left.
It must doubly suck in the fall/winter when night was longer!
I'd have become very familiar with the Bible, reading it out loud. The Word will cause any evil to bolt.
Deep seated in witch craft and dark magic. The people are heavy ritualistic. Hundreds of years of it. @@ChildofTheLivingGod-vk8mm
All forms of paranormal activities are caused by being called a nature spirit or djinn or demon (or whatever you call it in your culture). Islam describes Djinns as a race of intelligent beings created by God. They were created from the element of (smokeless) fire, hence they are chemically inorganic and virtually invisible to human eyes unless they otherwise will it. Djinns are the only other race, along with mankind, which will be judged by God on the day of Judgment. Some of these Djinns are known to harbor extreme Jealousy against mankind (take Satan for example), as God chose mankind as his vicegerant on earth (instead of Djinns). After all, God has given man far superior intelligence compared to Djinns, no wonder mankind dominates the world. In folk religions throughout the world, these Djinns are worshipped as Pagan Gods. All over the world, Occultists communicate with these Djinns through elaborate Theurgy or Occult rituals. You can find a lot of info about them in Muslim websites.
@@ChildofTheLivingGod-vk8mmLucifer was not a fallen angel exactly. He had achieved the rank of an angel through obedience but was actually a Jinn (beings made of "a smokeless fire, as opposed to man "made of clay"). Once God created Adam, He declared him to be a superior creation and ordered all to prostrate to Adam. Lucifer (Iblees/Satan) rejected this direct command, proclaiming that the Jinn were made of fire, which is superior to clay. God declared him disobedient, so he sought permission until the day of judgment to prove to God that mankind does not deserve this status and promised that he (Lucifer) will mislead as many as he can to Hellfire. God replied indeed the crooked will follow you, but you will have no power over them except for whispers and suggestions. Thus Lucifer was banished and cursed by God for his refusal to acknowledge he whom God had declared superior. Why? For in man, God has blown His spirit (not the Christian meaning of spirit/Holy Spirit, but a spirit from God in every human). Whoever saves the spirit by doing good, saves himself. It's a test of the value man will choose to give his soul.
As a non-smoker, I took every chance I could to go with my buddies to smoke pits. The best stories were told there, and since the pits were out in the open, the smoke never got too bad.
Even though I don’t smoke, I would have sat in the smoke pit if stories like these were being told
@@ernestguzman4962the irony is, after enough stories in the smoke pit, you’ll need to start smoking to take the edge off. 😅
@@MrPyleStyleYup. If the normal daily job stress and BS doesn't get ya, then the paranoia from listening to creepy stories will. 😳 I spent a fair amount of time in smoke pits, smoke shacks, and smoking sponsons....usually during working hours or while standing the Balls to 8 watch at the BEQ.
The smoke pit was definitely a type of group therapy for E-1 to E-6...sometimes you'd even get a story out of an E-7 or a Warrant. Typically, the later it was, the stranger and more intriguing the stories got. And as long as there was tobacco to be had, and either beer (off shift) or coffee (on shift) to drink, people were likely to spill their guts about the weird shit they saw. Energy drinks weren't a thing yet in the mid-90's. The nearest analog I can recall having at that time was Mega Jolt Cola and NoDoz pills. So, I can only imagine how intense the Go Juice fueled stories would be... lots of chain smoking & a steady stream of F-bombs, I'd imagine. 😂
I was doing my third deployment in Iraq in 09. We had hit a small village looking for an ied maker. When we got to this one house they had a door chained shut and told us not to go in that the guy in the room had a “jin” or demon in him and if he got out he would be violent and have sex with animals. Not believing any of that and thinking we had the ied maker’s location, we break the lock and go in. In the room there was a guy literally chained to the bed. He was contorted and was looking at my team sgt making the weirdest grown/growl sound I have ever heard. The room felt different, I remember that being my cue to get out.
Sounds hot sexy
What happened after ? Did you guys arrest that guy ?
Please give an update
Rabies probably
@@OmmerSyssel mm goat seax sounds about good
Another State Trooper and myself were working one stretch of road for about 2 weeks. On this road there was an old little barn. Not decrepit or anything like that, just an old sitting barn. We stopped by one night to sit and talk bullshit as it was a cold winter night and nobody was out on the road. While we’re sitting there we start hearing what sounds like a horse approaching with horse shoes slowly. Startled by this we turned around and saw nothing. We then heard a gate open and a man clear his throat. At this point we think someone is there so we announce ourselves as not to startle him in case he didn’t see us. We heard nothing back but got this ominous feeling of just get the fuck out of here energy. Neither one of us said anything but at the same time we ran back to our cars and sped off. One of the weirdest fucking things I’ve ever experienced.
Maybe an old farmer who used to live there doesn't know he's dead
@@ImNotCreativeEnoughToMakeUserwassup with the militant gay flag bruh?
That's a cool story.
Where are you a state trooper at brother?
I was in Afghanistan 2x and I experienced some VERY VERY creepy stuff. That place is a hotbed for paranormal stuff, and it’s been I disturbed for 1000s of years. It’s a spooky place to be in the middle of the night. I still get chills thinking about that place sometimes.
I'm not military, matter of fact, I'm an immigrant, and where I used to be, I saw some real sh!ts, too. We simply cannot just say this stuff doesn't exist. Once you caught wind of it, your life always has a sense of disturbance around.
Tell us more ,an example ,what reminds first...
Bro same. Was on a PB in Nad E Ali and thinking about some of those experiences on night patrols even now almost a decade later still give me goosebumps.
Heard things I cannot explain around Mazar. The Balkh province felt like it had a off vibe to it.
Place has caves all over the place , full of surprises you wouldn’t believe…….
This is the kind of content I love finding online. The modern day version of sitting around the campfire with your tribe as travelers from far away lands recount tales of wonders and horrors beyond imagining.
Absolutely!
Right and those haunting over there because so many people died from the years and years of war so many lost souls
Basecamp Chris tells scary stories while camping out, his channels pretty good too.
Life sounds good then, now 🤦🏿♂️
Almighty Kaveeer
I served as an LAV crewmen in the US Marine Corps and I can’t tell you how many times I felt someone climb onto my vehicle but there was no one there. Another night I was on watch and scanning with the turret. I saw what looked like a big fire on the side of a mountain only visible through our thermals and NVG but not through our naked eyes. We saw a few things on that deployment to which our LT told us to keep quiet about.
There are so many sinister tales from that particular region from both locals and foreign military personnel alike. It’s particularly chilling when they’re both able to describe supernatural occurrences with exact details that match despite not speaking a word of one another’s language as was the case on one particular evening in Iraq.
The Middle East is fraught with supernatural phenomena. Historical writings on these events are horrifying, even more so when people in our time are experiencing the same things.
The tamest occurrence I can recall was told by the American crew of a Blackhawk helicopter who described seeing a man walking in place in the middle of the desert alone hundreds of miles away from any semblance of civilisation. Impossible, in their words.
Do you have more tales to share ?
Well if that was a normal man then he'd be a ghost soon
Or perhaps there was a settlement nearby who knows. Or maybe it was a punishment to be dropped off there, or he was the survivor of a crash landing, or he went out there to hide a body but thats no reason to go hundreds of miles away from civilisation.
Laugh all you want, i strongly believe the Giants mentioned in biblical times still exist or perhaps existed in Afghanistan ... Locals talk about offering goats (lol) to red hair giants. Also remember native Americans also talk about red headed giants hunting their Tribes. They're still somewhere underground in Ghandahar... Or maybe killed by US bombs dropped to hunt Taliban. The amount of bombs dropped by US for just killing terrorist is a bit suspicious to me, maybe some in US command wanted to burry the Giants whi knows ....
It was an arab skinwalker
Could be a lone shepherd, there would be wells here and there to keep someone going....? Bless........
Never forget one of the older Sgt’s casually telling a few of us when having a smoke one night, that when he was deployed on Op Herrick in 2009 that after a particularly heated shura that the elder had placed a curse on his platoon. No one really thought anything about it until people started seeing things at night, a lot of the time it was put down to lack of sleep and stress due to being deployed. Soldiers would see shadowy figures, standing facing towards to whoever would be on watch. He also said shortly after they started having people be injured or killed, and a few of the newer guys started to get spooked about the curse that elder had placed on the platoon was real. The older guys viewed it with typical sense of dark British humour, so didn’t take it seriously.
The elders probably know there's rampant paranormal stuff happening in country, so they "curse" your guys to try and claim the power of it themselves.
Just some shadow people, nothing serious. You notice them, they start to notice you.
Sleep deprivation mate, it really messes with your mind. I was on exercise many years ago on a night patrol after a couple of days no sleep, and I saw someone walking along next to me. I thought he was one of the lads in our section and I remember whispering to him, “how many rations you got mate?” When I realised he wasn’t even on this exercise. I remember laughing to myself afterwards, thinking how amazing the human mind is to see something that looked so real and all along was never there.
@@Ben-yp9nh yeah sleep deprivation can do that but there’s definitely something else out there. Not just imaginary tricks your minds plays. I lived in a neighborhood built over Indian land and a mass grave site in Georgia. Lots of our neighbors would hear strange sounds in our houses and have terrible dreams of what looked like native people but in demonic form. I know everyone believes one things but shadow people Can and do exist. Some people are just lucky enough to interact or see them. Sometimes it’s loved ones
@@Porsche4life Oh yeah I believe there’s something out there definitely. Just saying sleep dep can mess with your head. And when your out on tour, you don’t get much sleep.
I was stationed at Dwyer in 2009. We didn't have the ANA at the time and not many towers were manned. It was definitely a quiet and eerie place. With the bloody history of Afghanistan, I'm not surprised there are ghost stories. Kudos to Wartime Stories for bringing these stories to life. I look forward to more from Afghanistan.
heh, freakiest thing, and to this day I'm not sure WHY... was the realization that in Afghanistan you don't need flashlights to walk around at night as much as you do in the US. I wasn't the only one to realize this either. a lot of the people who'd been there a while and gotten used to it would just... walk around at midnight with no artificial lights. some nights lit by nothing more than the stars. As weird as it sounds.... It just felt normal after a while. I don't really know what makes it different than the US in this regard, but something....
@@marhawkman303 less light pollution
@@crazysilly2914 That was my first thought. and it might be true, but why would that apply even in areas that don't have artificial lighting? Hmm... dunno.
@@marhawkman303 I think has to do with dry desert environment and I agree less light pollution.
@@johnmurray1529 one thought that just occurred to me is that it might have to do with clouds. IE the climate over there often has NO clouds at all. Not even a haze that kinda looks like a cloud if you squint. Starlight not getting filtered by anything but actual air would be brighter than starlight dimmed by a thin haze I guess?
Hmm maybe has to do with atmospheric pollution too? cleaner air = more natural light?
I just love to combination of soldiers or warfare stories mixed with paranormal activities. The fact that even the best equipped soldiers with Moden weapons and firepower can't do anything against something supernatural just makes me more scared than any horror movie or creepy stories :D
This was some time ago. My wife's best friend's ex boyfriend was a sergeant in the British army. He served a few tours in the middle east and killed people in combat. Every time my wife's dog saw him he barks so badly as if he saw something we couldn't see, that dog never barks and always very chilled. This make me wonder the guy propably brought something back during his tours.
The dog saw a jinny escorting that sergeant.

True man!
I was in 2 different branches of the U.S. military. The Navy July of 94 to September 96. I got out ten months early because the carrier I was on the U.S.S America CV-66 was decommissioning. I joined the Army in the spring of 97 and got medically retired out in 01. While in the Navy, I was in V-1 working the night shift on the flight deck. I'm going to tell you UFOs🛸 are real. Night crew would see things like that quite often, but were told not to say anything about it.
I agree, having seen the UFO encounter reports from all the aircraft carries from the tic tac ufo’s and it gives me goosebumps, I’m hoping I’m all good and paperwork good to start flightschool and heard a couple stories of pilots convinced of seeing UFOs, kinda scary but amazing.
I had a navy buddy tell me the same. Says they were on front deck and a large spherical light came out the water towards them. They ran to the captains and was told not to say anything.
Here’s some information pertaining to UFO’s. Those that are Flying Saucers based on the Vimana’s detailed in the Hindu texts, such as the Ramayana where Emperor Ravana flew one to Kerguelen (Naraka/Helhiem/Hell) to fight the Narakasura being Yama. Important to note that the location the Vimana was stored, being Monaragala, has had multiple low intensity earthquakes occuring 3 times per day at the same time across multiple days in the recent weeks. Sri Lanka doesn’t get earthquakes...
The civilization the Hindus detail and are a continuation of, is the Bharat, which existed from 8,000BCE after the Younger Dryas Impact occurring in 9,600BCE up until its demise in 3,150BCE that is the Mediterranean impact the events of which are detailed by over 200 peoples and compiled into the Book of Genesis of the Old Testament as the Flood event. The cause of the impacts is the Taurid Stream. The largest impact during the 9,600BCE event is the Hiawatha crater in Greenland, and the largest impact during the 3,150BCE event is the Henburry crater in Greenland.
During WWII the German SS took extreme interest in the Vimana as well as occult history and mystery. The Is is because the SS is a military within a military and a conglomeration of multiple occult guilds including the Thule Society, Vril Society, Knights Templars, Jesuits, Order of the Green Dragon, Society of Green Men, and Adepts of Agartha. The SS bolts are taken from the Black Sun symbol referring to Saturn, the Bolts representing the Zodiac. The specific SS bolts refer to Pisces which we are transitioning out of and Aquarius which we are transitioning into. The transition referring to the tilting of the Swastika which is the Big Dipper in 4 positions. The transition also referring to the current Kali Yuga coming to an end, and the Satya Yuga beginning, with Hitler being invoked as the Kalki.
The Germans successfully re-engineered the Vimana via the Huanbeu program. Huanebu referring to a group of Palestinians (Sea Peoples) from what is now Odessa Ukraine. The company to do it was Dornier who did so under the guise of a tire factory, and the anti-gravity platform was called the Do-Stra meaning Dornier Stratospheric. 4 variations were built by the time Berlin fell, including one equipped with Naval Guns.
When Berlin fell, the SS including Hitler who did not suicide himself spread out. The majority were transfer to the US via operation Paperclip. This was done via the Ghalen Organization in Switzerland, and GHWB had a hand in negotiations. The SS merged with the US Army OSS, the Ghalen Organization, and an unarmed DC Think Tank to create the CIA in 1947. 10 years later Ghalen would be deployed to West Germany to establish the German BND as an extension of the CIA which now controls the EU. A group is SS went to Argentina along with Hitler where they regrouped and gained control over Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. A super minority being the R&D group established themselves in New Swabia.
When the CIA formed, there was a reorganization and transfer of tech, resulting the the Huanbeu Program to be reestablished in the US. From here, the R&D continued, resulting in many other variations to be created for various purposes. One such includes the TIC-TAC which is a Anti-Gravity Drone. Another is a Cube within an Orb being CHAMELEO used for Radar testing. Another more scary one being the BEAST is what Skynet is based off of. BEAST being Battle Engagement Assessment Simulator/Tracker was developed by Thale to act as a floating quantum computer that simulates battle outcomes in real time, selects the best outcome, then automate the execution of that outcome by remote accessing and activating a variety of weapons systems on the ground, in the air, space, and the sea to do so. This nasty platform is why nobody fucks with us. And all things I mentioned is unfortunately the reason why UFO’s will remain classified and disclosures remain out of reach.
Our own government are the ones with the ufos since Roswell btw!
Yes the crafts are real they are made in nasi germany, but theres no alien, they wanna milk us with alien hoax
I lived in an army quarter that was once used as an emergency morgue after a disaster in WW1. We lasted just over a year there until we moved across the street to get away from all the 'goings on'! Hall lights coming on when returning from work, (kind of helpful), doors opening for our toddler son, (who would see 'people' in the house), swinging light shades, bangs and thuds upstairs, footsteps dragging around our bed in the night, (as loud and real as you like, only to quickly turn the lights on to nothing there, then lying to ourselves it was just the curtains swishing😳) The nursery, very warm instantly turning frigid cold, (on several occasions), constantly feeling you are being watched. The estate warden knew before we moved in...we weren't the first family to demand a house move!!
Back around 2001 I was in the Canadian army with 1PPCLI (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) I was at CFB Wainwright on a summer tasking. My primary job for the tasking was to deliver meals to the various ranges. I enjoyed it because I often got to work alone which is kind of rare, normally you would have a partner. One night a few days into my tasking I had delivered dinner to one of the rifle ranges in the training area, and was returning back to base to finish for the night.
I'm on the gravel road not far from Heart Hill, It's the largest hill in the training area so it's used as a landmark to get your bearings if you ever get lost. That's when I spot someone just ahead of me walking along the road. They were wearing the old olive drab uniforms the CAF was transitioning out of that mostly reserve units were still wearing. There were a lot of reserve units training in the summer so it didn't look out of place. But they also had the old school "Vietnam" looking era helmet which had been phased out years prior. He was also staggering like they were injured or dehydrated, and their rifle was almost dragging in the dirt.
Thinking it was a reservist who was lost and having heat stroke (it was around 9pm so it was dark but it had been a hot day) I honked my horn to get his attention. There was no response so I crawled up behind him and honked again turning my headlights on and off to signal them, but still no response. I parked the LSVW and jumped out to walk up to them. I remember it being dead quiet. Normally in the training area at night you'll hear some noises, animals, crickets, normal outdoor sounds but there was nothing. No wind, no noise, nothing. The air felt heavy and cold. I shrugged it off and walked up to the soldier shouting out to him asking if they needed help.
I got within a couple meters of them when they suddenly stopped and stood motionless. I stopped as well not only because I was surprised they stopped but I felt dread well up inside me like something was telling me not to get closer. Im not sure how long I stood there, it felt like minutes but could have been a few seconds. Then they slowly turned around to face me. What I saw wasn't their face but rather what was left of it. Half of it was gone, I could see the back of their skull, bits of gore and blood had run down the front of their uniform. The one eye they had left was staring at me, or through me like I wasn't there. And then they were gone, they vanished right before me. The air returned to normal and the stillness was gone. All I could do was get back in my truck and drive back to base

Maybe he was just an old revenant. Still doing his duty, watching over his fellow soldiers.
In 2020 I was serving my compulsory military service in the Greek Armed Forces. I was a TC in a Leopard 2A4GR in Northern Greece. During an exercise in March, we were stationed in an expedition camp facing the border with Bulgaria. Me and my crew were to keep watch along with our dismounted infantry escort. I was poking my head out of the turret surveying the area with NVG and binoculars and I caught a bunch of humanoid shapes really close to the wire fence running along that part of the border. I refocused the NVG thinking it's a glitch and the figures were still there. Thinking it's a bunch of illegals trying to cross the border, I gave the order to start the tank so I could use the commander station optics for a better look. The figures were still there, looking like mist in the shape of a human or something like that, but only showed up on NV, not on T-HB or T-HW. I had the dismounts shine a large flashlight we had at the direction of the figures and they completely disappeared from NV after that. Nothing else happened. The dismounts that went over to shine the flashlight swore up and down that they saw fog-like beings that were kinda transparent. On a final note, the figures kinda showed up on red tint IR as high contrast spots. Needless to say, I got yelled at because I woke up a bunch of people by firing up the diesel lol

Normal day in the balkans
I was in Afghanistan in 2010-2011, my unit was in Logar Province at Baraki Barak where a Soviet army unit slaughtered an entire village and dumped the bodies into a well. That well was in the middle of our COP (Combat Outpost) and at night it felt like we were being followed around on our COP. My platoon sergeant told me that he was terrified of that well. He said when I would walk near it my eyes would glaze over and I would seem like I was possessed. To this day when I think of that place my skin crawls and I think that place is haunted.
it was probably all those poor people hanging around on another "plane", because they didn't want their lives to end and they were ended beyond their choice. They didn't or couldnt' move on . Honestly I feel bad for them. :(

Has anyone else heard about the strange flying demon like figures that were seen in Vietnam when they were using the original red night vision goggles ? Apparently it freaked out anyone who used them. Some got lasting mental probs from it. The red vison was stopped soon after that. Would love to know if anyone had heard anything.
Look into it, it's true...
So those "demons" seen flying around through the early red nv were the very large bats SEA is famous for having and birds. Mix the basic shapes with extremely grainy NV that is hard to look through, sleep deprivation from having to fly at night, and drug use among US forces, they look like demons
Most of the US soldier ls were using illegal drugs, so I am not surprised by that.
Demons ... many of them that the gunmen would fire upon (I don't blame them a bit for seeing fallen angels in their ungodly form after the fall). Yeh, I've heard. Bless those guys' hearts for the sheer fright that would have caused. Does anyone still have the red tinted goggles?
The red vision wasnt stopped after that at all. M2 Bradleys in the 1980s had it in thermals. This is a total urban legend belied by the lack of knowledge on the subject which shows you it was made up because the obvious errors someone who doesnt know the history about the military at this time would make.
That second story gave me chills as I had a similar experience with another Marine while on watch at our FOB. There was clearly a guy walking towards the FOB but he would be gone when looking with the naked eye or thru the scope. Only on the nvg he was visible. Didn't help we had a graveyard across on a hill by the FOB.
The horrors I encountered down range were all too human. However, while stationed in Germany I saw me some ghosties. American bases were real haunted out there.
On another channel I follow, the guy there has told some stories in his time in the armed forces, and he had some stories during his time in West Germany. Like how his squad messed with sone shrine or monument and it caused nothing but trouble for them for weeks on end.
what did you see exactly?
@@cesariojpn i think bedtime stories covered that one!
@@fourshore502 Well they built our housing right over where they kept the medical facilities for the victims of the Camps. So my wife and I both saw a woman in white and a few out of place dudes walking down the streets at night.
@Stoned Jason Voorhees I'm glad the base I was stationed at in Germany was fairly new, and not haunted.
It was Clay Kasern in Garlstadt, near Bremen. I've heard the stories from other guys who had been stationed elsewhere in Germany, usually on really old German bases.
As a contractor working with the Army at Camp Victory, I continuously had small items disappear from the spots that I knew I had left them. They always returned, eventually--and right back where I knew I had put them. This happened so often that it no longer bothered me. What I mean is, in the beginning, I thought I was losing my mind. I worked alone in a shipping container which was also my living space. I thought it might have been some kind of effect of being isolated for so many hours. However, weeks into this, I started running my own experiments. I would place trinkets in obvious places and take pictures of them. Most items never moved, but some disappeared for days at a time--only to be put right back in the same spot. Once, I was called to drive across the FOB, but I couldn't find the keys to the truck. I turned my back to where I thought they should be, and I said aloud, "Look, I don't have time for this right now. I need to leave now. Please put the keys back where you got them, and we can discuss this later." I turned around, and the keys had reappeared. I didn't keep my my word. I never tried to have that conversation with things unseen. When I left there to return home, I left without several small personal items that had never returned--or not until after I left anyway. The items included a 1888 Morgan silver dollar (commemorating the birth of a grandfather I had never met) and a Faulex wristwatch--the latter I had purchased at the local bazaar. I did lay down some rules before I left to the effect that whatever was there could not come home with me. I've never been bothered by any paranormal events after returning home until, I believe, my father visited me after he passed--but that's another story.
So basically someone just tactically acquired your stuff

@@minutemark
You’re brave enough to lay down rules with the jinns. I wouldn’t have been able to do that, I get scared easily 😂
that part of the Earth, the Iranian plateau which includes Afghanistan, is very ancient and is home to many supernatural entities. I grew up there and as a kid what you described happening to you at Camp Victory, would happen to me all the time. I'd put down my eraser right next to my note book as I did my homework and when I'd get up to take a bathroom break the thing would disappear on me, no where to be found. I remember spending 10 mins looking for it, I'd put my face flat on the floor trying to sight the damn thing but nope. This would happen to me so much as a kid that just like yourself I eventually got used to it, accepted it, and instead of looking for it, I'd just go play for a while knowing when I came back it would be exactly where I had left it.
Another story: When my grandma, rest in peace, passed on about 30 years ago, they sold the old family house in one of the older neighbourhoods of Tehran. Now my grandma used to tell me stories of genies living in their basement in that house for decades. She even told me they once came upstairs to her while she was pregnant, all riled up that one of their young was burnt by a match that she had put out on the basement stairs (after using it to light a oil lamp for my grandpa who used to regularly sleep in the cool basement on hot summer nights) as she walked upstairs. I remember how serious she was when she was telling me this story, she said they were threatening to take away (kill) the baby she was about to give birth to in retaliation and all was looking grim until another one of the beings ascended the stairs and called for the rest to come back down, saying the young one isn't dead, which led to them leaving my grandma. You could tell she wasn't bs'ing. Fast forward to when they sold the house, the contractor was there knocking down the house and all that was left was the basement. The laborers were demolishing the basement when they started hearing and seeing strange things. They thought nothing of it at first but according to the contractor and my uncle, they all saw something come out of the dark which scared them so much that they ALL abandoned the job and the contractor had to shut down the job until he finds new crews. If you ask me, they didn't want their home to be knocked down, cuz after all it was their home too. My grandma knew this and I believed her.
@@wogelson i have always being interested how that really works....
This feels so weird because Afghanistan was ex-Hindu/Buddhist/Parsi but now a muslim country but these tales are just like how natives describe local ghosts. Being a South Asian myself from Nepal, it makes sense. But narrated by an army of people who came across the seas, thousands of kilometers away and whose way of thinking I know through the internet is startling. It feels like I'm 3 different people. It feels familiar yet foreign. Kandahar is a Sanskrit-derived name and Afghan people feel familiar to me. Yet they have converted to a Islamicate civilisation but these tales make it sound like how one would describe ghosts in Nepal. How differently history has shaped our fates but we share the same occult!
It's almost as if the wandering spirits of those that have crossed over is the universal truth regardless of the faith or religion or what civilization they held in life.

Where as a police officer did you see these things? US suburbia?
I served in Afghanistan at Camp Leatherneck/Camp Bastion in 2009-2010. Afghanistan is unique in that wars have raged there for millennia. So much suffering is bound to pervade this land.
I used to work with a Russian immigrant,who was in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation.
Right after we started deploying troops there, he told me that our troops were going to see and experience " some strange shit ". I asked him what kind of strange shit, but he never elaborated, because he said that I would think that he was crazy.
@@truthseeker2321 I definitely saw that myself. That place is literally hell on Earth.
@Eric Seymore What do you think my Russian co- worker meant by that?
I was a soldier once and he knew that, and I think he trusted me more than any of our other co- workers, but was reluctant to tell me. I had the impression that it was of a supernatural nature, because he had already told me about Afghan culture, that was basically alien to both Soviet and western world culture.
@@truthseeker2321 I agree man. I was in Logar Province in 2010-11 in Baraki Barak where the Soviet army slaughtered an entire village and dumped the bodies into a well.

@Eric Seymore It probably was haunted. I spent 2 years in Germany back in the early 80's, and there were places we went to that made me feel uneasy.

When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. Don't acknowledge them or they will follow you. I've seen and heard things that I've refused to acknowledge because I know what's happened to friends who've seen the same and believed. When they get your attention, they follow and stay with you. You don't want that.
This seems to be a common theme. Once you notice things, and they notice you, theres no going back.

It wasn't much time for him to share stories with us, but I know the demons of war came home with him.
Keeping you in my thoughts.
In regards to the second story - I can personally attest to the sound that certain rock formations can make in windy weather. I'm not a soldier (though I come from a military family), rather I descend from a Greek Island in the Aegean. The village in which my great grandmother was born is quite literally built into the side of a canyon in the highlands of the island. One end of the canyon leads higher into the mountains, while the other end leads down to the sea. This canyon is full of small alcoves and caves in the rocks - some no deeper than a few meters, others which are said to run for several kilometers. Aegean islands - especially that which my family comes from - are notorious for being very windy as the winds come down from the north across the open Aegean and slam into the island. As you can imagine, the sound that these hundreds of small caves produce when the wind gusts is nothing short of blood-curdling. The entire canyon whispers and howls in the wind, and local legends from the village tell of otherworldly monsters living in those caves that can disguise themselves as humans, and hunt unsuspecting islanders throughout the valley. This is made all the more frightening from the fact that people have actually disappeared in this area, having never been found.
That’s scary 😧

Fun fact...the original inventor whose creation led to modern nightvison...originally made it with the intwntion to see spirits, and he believed his invention a success. Considering all the things people have seen with night vision equipment leads me to believe it's true.
Where did you find that out?
"But now, I'm out of the military and I can smoke anything I want."
Hear hear, brother! I'm a Marine veteran that was a pothead in high school, had to quit for several years while in the Marines, and then went right back to smoking weed immediately after I left the Marines. I got high with my hometown friends on the day I got home.
Thanks for your stories. Great channel.
I was in Afghanistan from late 2009 to early 2011. Spent a month at Camp Dwyer. I was part of the Marines building up the place so when we first arrived it was basic hescos, wag bags, piss tubes and sleeping in the circus tents.
I worked in the COC and one night a report came in about a possible intruder spotted near the fuel tanks. It was late at night and since there was so few of us at the time me and another guy working in the COC got pinged by the Colonel to go out there and check it out.
We hitched a ride with some contractors and rode out to the fuel tanks to check it out. It was dead silent out there and completely dark. We didn't find anyone. At the time Dwyer was not really built up so the whole area was covered in this loose talcum powder like sand that we called moon dust. We checked between the big fuel tanks, along the hesco walls, anywhere we could think to find foot prints or any evidence of an intruder. Nothing.
After a half hour we returned to the COC. We figured that someone may have gotten lost in the dark and wandered out there by accident.
Not really a good ghost story but the Dwyer segment in the video reminded me of it.
I'm no soldier, just a civilian, I know that feeling when something follows you home. I used frankincense and myrrh to bless my house while praying the rosary prayer once a week. That feeling of being watched, especially watching me sleep stopped right after. But I do hear that tapping and knocking on the outside of my house, waiting to sneak back in.
You may want to talk to a doctor, perhaps they can prescribe something to control these symptoms before it gets out of hand one day.

Research some of the stories of the Gettysburg battleground. Overnight camping was allowed there, until so many people reported ghost sightings that now it's illegal to enter after dark. After that, they hired guards to patrol at night, but no one would stay more than a few nights.. Even during the day there are a ton of sightings, but one guard reported that, at night on some parts of the battlefield, you'll see apparitions everywhere. He thought reenactors had snuck in, until he saw some were carrying their limbs, others you could see through, etc.
I remember being a kid in Toronto and going on a school trip to Fort George, close to Niagra Falls, It was the site of big battle in the War 1812. I was standing with my classmates, teacher and guide when I witnessed some soldiers in period dress walk by and one even smiled at me. I asked the guide when we could go watch the soldiers and he told me there were none there that day. I told him that he was mistaken, because I just witnessed them walk by, so everyone laughed except for the guide who then whispered something in my teachers ear, later I found out that I had seen what many visitors to the fort had witnessed also.
@@AZ-bp5zo Thats weird you mention that now, I just watched a thing about the hauntings there a few days ago.
Isn't that the same place where you can still hear cannons being fired sometimes ?? I had read about that place many years ago and there's also a video of the place and in the video you can actually hear the cannons being fired in the distance but there's no one there . This is no an isolated incident , there's also a place in India which was a huge battleground where many people including innocent civilians died and at night you can clearly hear sounds of swords , sword fights and people screaming and sounds of horses gallopping , i guess sometimes the pain suffering and torment can latch on to that place and can keep on reoccurring as if it was some sort of a time loop , this is just two of the hundreds of examples of similar incidents that I've read about , very creepy but interesting too

I freaking love paranormal stories, but there's something about it coming from military folk that lends an extra pound of believability for me. I think it's because most of the vets in my family have such a "that's what I saw, an' of you don't like it you can fudge off" attitude. They went through enough crap to care if you believe or not.
In Syria around 2018 my unit was tasked with building a patrol base for Special forces in country, we had decided to build the patrol base inside of a old flour mill that had at one point been used by ISIS as a headquarters, because not only was the thing built like a fortress but also it had a very dominating view of all the highways into and out of the city. It also became immediately apparent that when ISIS was retreating out of the area they decided to go scorched earth, and more or less turned the flour mills grounds into a giant mass grave, throwing people down grain elevators or into the grain hoppers which were used to grind the grain (to this day we silently hope it turns out it was actually animals that were thrown into them...but this is ISIS we are talking about)
To say that the place had a spooky feel to start with is a understatement, even during the daytime we always felt like we were being watched or followed, and even here in my bedroom years later where i know i am safe and sound i find myself looking over my shoulder in fear. But the one place of that mill that we all undeniably avoided was the basement, just something about it thoroughly freaked us the fuck out, i went down there one time during daylight hours with a buddy to check it out, and not even 10 feet into the basement i just got overwhelmed with a sense of dread and the feeling that if we didn't leave, really horrible things would happen. So we left cause fuck demons.
That place definitely had some spooky shit going on, and im generally a skeptic when it comes to most paranormal shit.
Oh Syria is the bedrock of such stories. That place is ancient as the first existence of the meteors.

I was at COP Zormat in RC East just south of the Gardez Pass. At night when it's just two Joes tracking a platoon with the howitzers you hear some terrifying noises that can't really be described. The roving packs of dogs (most of which are descended from dogs Russian officers left behind) would tear each other apart and one or two would be left screaming all night long right on the other side of the hesco wall. Afghanistan is a strange ancient world where humanity is measured in gunpowder and lead but for some reason these dogs screaming is burned in my mind. I felt more sorry for them than the people I saw getting slaughtered. I can't explain it but nighttime in Afghanistan in the winter is another planet. A savage one

I can 100% agree with the guard tower stories. In Iraq, in Camp Spiecher, I was in the guard towers for a few months of that tour. You would hear banging and vibrations like someone running up those steel stairs of the towers. But you would look, no one, nothing.

Something about paranormal wartime stories just hits differently. I think it's the fact that the people experiencing these things are in a heightened sense of awareness and that these dudes are dodging death every day. Hearing them talk about something they saw that shook them more than any man-made horrors ever could, sends chills up my spine. While being under the stress of a battlefield combined with lack of sleep would definitely have negative effects on someone's psyche, a lot of these stories seem too real to be some "shared hallucinations"
heightened sense of awareness...

whenever he stopped, it stopped, when he moved faster, it went faster.
didn't take long, until he bursted out into a full sprint, being totally freaked out. the thing behind him followed him just as fast as he ran.
after some hundred meters of running for his life, he ended up at a road with a street light and that's when he noticed a piece of thick wire being stuck to his shoe/pants, which was making the noise that followed him through the forest xD
@@las10plagas Lol! Your story reminded me of one a buddy told me when he was younger of hearing footsteps following him up an unlit secondary road that leads from the main road to his house maybe a couple hundred meters distance. This happened in another country (I'm in the U.S btw and been there several times myself whenever I visited) Anyway he said this one night he took a cab home, the cab dropped him at the base of the hill and he walked the rest of the way up that road. He said he heard footsteps following him and when he stopped and looked back, there was no one there. 😨 So he started again walking faster and so did the footsteps. So now he's freaking out and starts sprinting up the hill and so did the footsteps matching his. He didn't even stop when he got to his gate he said, he just grabbed the top and vaulted over it (the gate is maybe 4ft high) and ran into the house and slammed the door behind him. He then looked out the window and could see the gate shaking violently as if someone was shaking it, but of course no one was there....😨😨

My dad was a military personnel. He told me about his experience when he worked in Afghanistan. It was late night so my dad went in to grab something to eat. When he was enjoying his meal, he suddenly felt discomfort as if someone was grabbing him from the behind trying to lock my dad's position. Responding quickly my dad counter attacked with the back of a gun. And when he turned back to see if someone was there. It was just him and no one else within his sight.

I never was in the military, I was a boy scout, and an assistant scout master, and worked staff at a BSA winter camp. While working staff at that winter camp, we got flooded with reports of a vagrant who seems to always evade security. That year such reports were taken extra seriously. They called all staff out to search the camp one night and my group had spotted the guy slipping into a shower facility. The shower facility had only one way in or out and we never saw him walk out, we got to the door and searched that place top to bottom, but the guy was gone. Like he had never been there. Thinking bout it gives me the creeps.
@Princess Celestia Back in 1984,I was stationed at Ft Ord California, and strange things supposedly happened there.
I remember some guys talking about a soldier they had seen walking around the old wooden buildings at night, only to vanish in front of them.
He was said to be dressed in full combat gear, carrying an old M-1 type rifle, and had leggings on his boots.
The only thing that he was wearing that was still being used in the early 80's, was the old ww2 style helmet, which didn't get replaced until the late 80's.
It was a few years after I got out of the army , that I learned that several soldiers died in training accidents at Ft Ord during ww2, and the later Korean War.

An old coworker of mine had a story very similar to the goat herder that would only show up in night vision. He told it to me several years ago so the details are very fuzzy, but he was a Marine in an artillery battalion in Afghanistan. I believe he said there were multiple witnesses, and the figure was seen in FLIR/thermal imaging rather than NODs.
It's sad to see veterans of all countries going through tough times. All love to these Bravehearts ❤
In Al Krama Iraq 2007 OP Delta, our ECP was haunted. We would keep 2 men on the post at night and everyone would hear people walking around the tower and talking. The op was small enough that 3 of the other towers could see the around and under the ECP and all night the team at the ECP would ask the other towers if some was around them. It got so bad we set up traps and while 1 person watched over the vehicle entryway the other would sit with an M4 watching the doorway.
I was deployed to Dwyer in 2020 with 10th Mountain. I always had weird feelings while at Dwyer and would constantly wake up at 3 to 4 am every night without fail.
Did other soldiers also get up around the same time you did ?
It reminds me of a story that a brazilian army capitan once told the news here about the time he had a night shift patrol on port-au-prince, during the MINUSTAH intervention in Haiti, and he mentions at some point, this very creepy decrepid looking old men suddently jumped on their APC and started screaming in a native language that the capitan didn't understand but one word: "inzambi Zumbi" (zombie) . The military translator guy on the vehicle latter said that the old man claimend he got his soul stolen by a voodôo priest and that he was now a zombie under his command. Some really creppy messed up stuff happens in Haiti, there are many similar stories that brazilian army soldiers in MINUSTAH latter told, unfortunately they are all in portuguese, and I dont know if there is any english works about this experiences

The dust figure at @19:20. I've seen something very similar in the night. It was in a dense forest at winter exercise where the whole squad was pretty sleep deprived. Standing on a guard duty I saw a glowing blue humanoid rising from the snow and walking among of the trees. It dissipated in the snow. Other people did see some weird stuff too like "cat-beast in a tree" and another saw his guard mate mouth splitting from ear to ear when he smiled. Sleep deprivation, darkness and exhaustion can mess up ones mind.
I don't even want to imagine the atrocities that were committed there. Horrors and trauma to the point of causing the place to become haunted by the victims of said horrors.
The encounter in Kandahar has happened to me too, except it was my grandmothers house in Australia.
I was pet-sitting for her while she was in hospital getting a hip replacement, and I slept in one of the bedrooms. I couldn't sleep because the mattress and pillows are so old and provide no support, and I'm really uncomfortable. So around midnight I'm just lying there trying to shut my brain off, when I get the feeling like somebody's watching me. I have my back to the (open) door, and I rolled over to look into the hallway. I didn't see anything, but I felt a presence, and it scared the shit out of me. Because I didn't want to get into some kind of home invasion, hostage situation, I decided to pretend to be asleep and call the police when they leave. I don't hear any footsteps, I don't hear anyone breathing, but all of a sudden I felt a hand on my shoulder, gripping with all its might, and I go into full-blown panic mode. I keep my eyes shut and pretend to be asleep, but I'm breathing heavily. And then the hand goes away. I listen for footsteps, for windows jiggling as they climb out, for doors to creak, but I don't hear a thing. And the next morning, I check the whole house from top to bottom. Nothing has been stolen, all the doors are locked from the inside, all the windows are shut, and there's no indication of anyone having gone through my gran's jewellery boxes or anything like that.
To this day I don't know who or what it was, but I can't explain it with any rational explanation.
Sleep paralysis. It happens when your brain is half asleep and half awake. You are technically awake, but can see, feel, hear, smell and even taste things that are not there as if you were dreaming. Some people experience pleasant things, others experience terrifying things. Some people are also more prone to having sleep paralysis than others.
@@SevenSixTwo2012 I was wide awake, I wasn't even tired. Like I said, it defied rational explanation. I went through all the possible explanations. Sleep paralysis, electromagnetic fields causing hallucinations, home invasions... none of it lines up with what I experienced.
The kicker: I saw some weird stuff in that house over the years. This wasn't a one-off encounter.
@@DoinItforNewCommTech sleep paralysis. I thought I was good and awake with 3 cups of coffee but felt the office room darken up and strange voices ringing. Found out from my colleagues I went into a 20 min involuntary sleep and decided not to wake me cause I was tired.

@@DoinItforNewCommTech You thought you were awake. That's the whole point of sleep paralysis : you can't tell the difference between what's real and what's not.
These "shadow ghosts" are reminding me to the ghosts in Metro 2033. I wonder, maybe Glukhovsky used some stories like these as inspiration.
The shadows in 2033 are inspired by the silhoettes of humans left on walls in the nuclear attacks on Nagasaki and Hiroshima
Finding your channel today is like landing on a treasure! Thank you man ! Love from Egypt ❤️
This is my favourite from this channel. I've exhausted all his current videos, looking forward to more videos akin to this one!
Great channel! Love the smoke pit! Your winter survival stories remind me of mine when I was Air Force Security in Alaska back in 1980 and spent a week in winter training. I did everything you mentioned doing minus the bunny eyeballs! Lol I've got some scary and bizarre stories myself from my AF days. Thanks again for the great work here!

Your storytelling abilities are just astounding, and you got one heck of a voice. Thank you for your service, from one veteran with strange stories to another.
Fantastic content.
You got yourself a subscriber.
Hey I just wanted to say that I've recently discovered your channel and I AM ADDICTED, your content is truly superb and I admire how much detail and thought you put into your videos. It amazes me that your channel has not blown into the stratosphere, I must say I am a fan of this channel for life and I'm eager to gobble up more content from you and watch your channel grow. Basically just wanted to say well done you are doing amazing.
Please don’t stop posting it’s impossible to find war based horror stories but they are the most interesting and believable stories. You are hands down my favorite channel of all time keep it up 👍
Was at dyess AFB for many years. I was a shift lead during the holiday break. It was just myself and one other co worker. Our break away was close to the restrooms. We had the automatic hand dryers. They ones where you had to wave ur hands hard under the sensor to get it to go off. We were watching the conjuring around 2 or 3 am. Nobody else was or could be in the building. We heard the hand dryer go off twice. We both looked at each other in disbelief. Went and looked and nothing. Nothing at all. This hangar was very creepy at night. Always seen shadows and just felt watched all the time. Will never forget it.
I would never watch that movie at night. Even that movie could serve as a portal for these entities.
I experienced the hand dryer thing in a bathroom at a park on the property where a cabinet member of Abe Lincoln lived in a mansion. Dryer went off while I was peeing. Then, went off again as I exited. I wasn't close enuff to activate it. I just turned around and smiled as I left. If you're sensitive, they know you are aware & get your attn.
A recommended video and channel that is underrated and deserve credit and it's content is amazing.
The narration, stories, illustrations, just everything about this is fantastic. Really glad I stumbled upon this video
Yes , many out there did encountered various paranormal experiences in their life journeys ... Thank You So Much for sharing so as to let them know that , they're not alone in these experiences! 🙏🕯
Farah, AFG 2018. Night guard in the towers were especially eerie. Relieving yourself at the bottom during shift felt as if something was there just waiting and watching. Didn’t like us at all. Weird what you can sense just through intuition.
You guys had to relieve eachother during the middle of the night ??
Why didn't you pee in a bottle up in the tower?.
Picked up 'Tales from the Grid Square' after your initial mention and recommendation of it. Enjoyed it very much! Thanks to you and Nick Orton!
Love listening to these, just got moved to night shift and I’m definitely gonna have these as my go to on post
Love the visualizations, makes it so much more immersive. Great job!
These are definitely some of the best, most believable ghost stories I've heard. Love the presentation, and narration. I always look forward to seeing more from this channel. Thank you so much for the hard work, and thank you to the contributors!
I was a marine in helmand province afghanistan in 2011 in and it's definitely a strange place, from hearing crunching water bottle sounds under my post to seeing strange lights in the sky
I'm new here but I've payed for youtube premium just so I can listen to these stories at work, time has never flown by so fast. I'm especially loving the Paranormal stories. I can already see this channel will be a regular visit for me, and looking forward to future videos. Great stuff!
Thank you for your interest in this channel , much appreciated.
I've made a playlist with all of these military stories, I must have listened a thousand times getting to sleep i love them.
great video as always Wartime stories! the editing and images and voice work is spectacular. And of course thank you to the 3 servicemen for sharing their stories and for serving our country (and Canada obviously) .
I saw this as a Notification. I clicked and UA-cam failed to play.
I searched for Wartime Stories and clicked videos. There was no such video there.
I searched again but typed _Night shift in Afghanistan_ and there it is....
As an Afghan vet, can't wait for your personal nvg stories!
The shoes in the doorway, almost sounds like there were multiple things at play, and one was laying a ward in the passage
I love this channel, I eat the stories up. Thank you for these, especially the smoke pit stories, so cool.
As usual...BAM! HR guys! I look forward to, and appreciate these!💯💯
Wartime Stories & Bedtime Stories are hands down the two best channels on all of YT!! Keep 'em coming guys!😁👌
Consistently excellent content. From stories and animations to narration…..all just top notch. And all sufficiently creepy to make my teeth chatter.
I just discovered your channel, loved these stories and the cadence of the narration great job man!
This video is extremely well done--narration, visuals, everything. Great job and thank you!
