    My grandfather was a "Sheriff" in a small town in northeastern Brazil. The police station was understaffed. My grandmother used to helped out and stayed with my grandfather several nights a week. One dark, rainy night, a desperate woman came to the police station crying for help. My grandfather rushed to help her and together they approached a car that had overturned on the side of the road nearby. When he went to check, he found a small, crying baby in the backseat, which, thankfully, was alive. Tragically, the woman, the child's mother in the front seat had died. She was the woman who went to the police station to seek help. Whenever I heard my grandmother's tales, I questioned them.
    But she would always say, "I saw it with the same eyes that are looking at you now." After thinking about the stories from this channel, I am convinced that they were not fabricated.

      29 Palms sucks. Out in the middle of a hot desert, nowhere near civilization, just stuck out in the middle of nowhere. Almost as bad as White Sands Missile Range in Southern New Mexico. Out in the middle of nowhere so far that we had no radio. We had to subscribe to cable TV and cable radio. We were 69 mikesbto El Paso across the desert. And to get to Las Cruces had to drive up and over the Organ Mountains to just get to McDs. Just a shithole post.

    As a veteran I love creepy military stories. One of my weirdest favorites (though least likely true ones) is set in Fort Leonard Wood Missouri. A.k.a. Fort Lost in the Woods.
    The story goes that early in WW II the Army declared eminent domain to expand the base for the war effort. A small village of German immigrants occupied one area. They received the news from a colonel in the middle of their Oktoberfest celebrations. It was not well received. They did move and the Army tore down the village and turned it into a range. That should’ve been the end of it. However, soldiers reported stumbling across a German village in Fort Leonard Woods’ range area at night in the midst of a full celebration. The locals would force the soldier to participate and drink way too much beer. In the end the guy would wake up on the range hungover and AWOL. This was reported by 2 different soldiers in 2 incidents 20 years apart. Troops make up crazy reasons for being AWOL but this takes the cake.

    When leaving Afghanistan from jalalabad to BAF, we flew on a civilian contracted CH46. They overloaded the aircraft to the point where the crew chief had to lay on top of our bags and you could just feel how sluggish the aircraft was. Not a problem until we try to make it over the mountains to drop down into BAF, and we were kind of stuck hovering over these snow capped mountains not making any real progress. The pilot eventually turned off the heater and we slowly started to climb over the peak and eventually safely down into baf. There was a moment where we were just lingering and I looked over at my buddy and we exchanged looks like ' are we about to go down?' we definitely were not prepared for a Dahmer party lol.

    I was in Yokota for a time when I was at Camp Fuji. There were some strange activity out there when I was there. There was one time we were walking around the base during the night, and by this parking lot, and as we passed by these vehicles, the car alarms would go off. We'd stop, thinking someone was playing a joke, then we'd walk again, only for the car alarms to go off as we passed. We had enough and walked away only for ALL of the car alarms to turn of simultaneously. One of the few nights there was no wind. Come to find out that the people who owned those cars, were all in the field.

You never really get to the level you aren't queasy. Hydration, pre-flight diet and a bit of ginseng can help, but I've had missions where the only reason I didn't puke was I didn't want to start a chain-reaction with the flight crew and/or any patients we had aboard.
    The worst missions were post patient drop-off, vehicle pickup with combat maneuvers. You're tired, breathing in exhaust fumes and being tossed around. I don't miss those days.

    I thought this would be a good place to share this. I’m currently 3 years into my marine corp career. This is my buddies story. We used to live in these moldy barracks rooms before I went on my first MEU. Well my buddy said one night he woke up and was droggy and still half asleep. He said once we whipped the sleep from his eyes, he could see that someone was standing in the corner of his room. Once he gets to this part of the story he always notes that he gets chills thinking about it. He said it was this guy wearing Marine dress blues.. smiling. I just got chills thinking about it too just typing that. He said he whipped his eyes again to see if he was just seeing stuff, because of just waking up. The marine in dress blues was still there.. smiling. He said he then flips on the lights and yells at his roommate to wake up who was bunking above him. He said when we looked back over to the corner that no one was there. Not the type of guy to lie or make up stories to talk himself up or make himself sound cool either. He said he slept with the bathroom light on the rest of the night. I asked him what time it was and he said it was like 3:30 am. The witching hours of the night. We now have the nice/newer barracks since coming back from deployment in June of this year. I just pray I never see this marine in dress blues smiling while standing in the corner of my room.

    My parents had an off base apartment early on that was haunted.

Years later during the flood that destroyed a large portion of the town that entire building burned down. The fire crews couldn't reach it because of the flood water.

In the picture he has on the one piece knee high leather legging on instead of of the cloth putters so it looks like cowboy boots, his blouse is unbuttoned and looks like a jacket, he is smoking a cigarette and lastly his campaign hat either has the brim rolled up like a cowboy hat or has the chin strap up over the top holding the brim that way. He was called back from the ranch he was working on in Idaho to be inducted at his local draft board in Missouri, where he was sent to Camp Funston Kansas. He was trained on the French 75mm howitzer and in WWI artillery was pulled by horses and mules via caissons requiring part of the crew to ride on horseback on McClellan saddles and some on the caissons. He was sent to France among the first troops and the shortage of draft animals was severe. He was called in to his Captains office and questioned about his experience with horses prior to the Army. He was then told they needed horses and mules to pull the cannons more than they needed people to shoot them. He was relieved from gun crew duty and spent the next two years breaking horses and mules for the Army like a cowboy in France.

    I was stationed at Yokota Air Base for seven years (2016-2023) and the number of su1c1des there taking place was definitely a thing. One occurred in the tower apartment building right next to mine.
    That said, I saw the Army guys and Marines parachute jumping from planes all the time at Yokota. It's a pretty small base and the flightline cuts across the middle of it. The Osprey would fly there often too.
    I never personally experienced anything supernatural while at Yokota but I had an odd thing or two happen to me while stationed at Kadena AB in Okinawa.
    I love Japan and spent over half of my military career there. Lovely country, polite people, beautiful culture, and awesome food and travel. Would love to return and retire there.

      It was just eerie silence. Then I felt a tug on the blanket behind my shoulder. I remember being a bit freaked out and refusing to turn around or even acknowledge the tug. Then it happened again, more forcibly this time. Once again, I pretended to still be asleep and did not want to turn around to see who or what was doing the tugging.
      I fell asleep and woke up in the late morning the next day. My room was hot and stuffy again. HVAC didn't work and I doubt it ever did last night. My door was locked from the inside, as was my bathroom door on my side (these dorms shared a bathroom between two rooms).
      Maybe I hallucinated the previous night. I was jet lagged and extremely tired from traveling, after all. I don't have any other explanation. The human mind is weird like that sometimes.
      Okinawa is reputed to be the most haunted place in Japan given its long and bloody history. Lots of creepy tales about the island and Kadena Air Base itself. My own work center at the time was supposedly haunted and it was pretty eerie working there during overnight graveyard shifts but I never saw or experienced anything there myself (unless you count the late night Guitar Hero sessions up until our captain caught us and put a stop to that, LOL).
      Okinawa is steeped in history with a unique culture, friendly people, delicious cuisine, and beautiful beaches with crystal clear blue waters. Would love to go back and see how much it's changed, or stayed the same.

      Yokota was built in 1940 as Tama Airfield. Late in the war, Tama (present day Yokota) was used by suicide pilots attempting to ram American bombers and other forces. Pretty sure in addition to the thousands of Japanesse soldiers who died during the bombing raids of Tama in 44 and 45, Tama (Yokota) was also the final take of runway for hundreds of suicide pilots.
      Tama Airfield also served as a hospital for the tens of thousands of civilian burn victims of the fire bombing of Tokyo. Burn wounds are not very survivable and incredibly painful (as the every news station pointed out after the actions of a present day airman).
      So the entire base is probably filled with tens of thousands of vengeful spirits who DESPISE the American air force and American pilots.

    I remember being grade school age in the 70s and every spring they would give us those thin, old-fashioned parachutes to play with. We had a blast but I also remember how terrifying it must be to jump out of an airplane with nothing more than a piece of nylon that was three times thinner than a bedsheet. Soldiers have seemed the epitome of braveness since I can remember.
    Then of course I plotted every year to steal the parachute so I could make my own military tent in the backyard. 😁 Although I never did I think it's safe to reason that I was a little misguided as a kid.

    I was stationed on the stumps back in 2005 - 2009, had two deployments one to Okinawa in 06 and Iraq in 07-08. I was part of 3rd Battalion, 11th Marines. I never experienced anything weird at the stumps except maybe seeing weird stuff in the sky at night while we were out in the field. I can say that Camp Hansen surely is haunted! I can say 100% certainty that I and a quite a few others had paranormal experiences at the barracks. It’s the 1st barracks building on the right as you come in through the main gate on Hansen. Woke up choking with a grayish shadowy mist hovering over me late night early morning, thought it was my roommate but that dude was snoring in the rack across from me, he has gone out drinking that night in Kinville and was passed out. The next morning a ton of people were talking about seeing weird figures in there rooms that night, my own roommate was also woken up at some point that night and he thought it was me messing with him but I was in a deep sleep.
    It was also incredibly creepy when you had duty and had to walk around the building late at night, you always felt like someone was watching you and hear faint footsteps behind you when walking around.

    I was Station at Yokota AB from 2004 to 2009 and again from 2012 to 2016. I ever did some training in Oki (okinawa) and 3 years in Misawa AB in the Northern area. I worked with the 374 civil Engineering SQ has an Emergency Service worker. I can say one of the strange things that happen was when while I work in our dispatch center was when we use to get what's called "ghost calls" from lines that weren't connected or was from a building that had no one in it. It didn't matter if it was day or night. It's common knowledge among the Japanese workers that there are very old and bad comm's since the Base is old ( from the 1930s when it was under Imperial Japan) but there was one time a ghost call came in that was very strange. It sounded like someone moaning. I heard the recording but not just me. At least 4 other people including the dispatch NCOIC hear this call. The line the call came in from was not connected. I have a hard time explaining that one. I believe the call was saved in the archives, but that was so many years ago it's probably buried under other more important calls. I have other stories ( especially being a emergency responder) from my time at all 3 Bases but I'll just Standby for now. Keep up your great work and look forward to hearing other tales.

So the hauntings would occur between 4 to 5 am every day, a few weeks after he died, the hauntings were someone excercising in the gym when there was no one there, lights would turn on with no one there, you can hear someone walking in the gym again nothing showing up in the cameras this went on for years but stopped after his parents died during the Covid years of 2020 to 2021.

    Bro the first story of 29 palms reminded me of two events. One when I was at the school house there for comm school and I was on Rover duty in the barracks. The OOD was doing his rounds and told me to report my post. I do and mid way through I watch a coyote climb out of a dumpster across the street and stare at us on its hind legs. I stop midway through reporting my post and stare back and the officer gets mad then follows my gaze and we both watch this thing walk off towards Sugar Cookie hill upright. The second thing was two years later and it was December. I was with headquarters battalion for first mardiv at the time, me and my buddy from comm company had pulled ECP duty at night on the second Friday we were there for Steel Knight when this guy comes up to us and asks how far it was to the main part of the base, or mainside in this case. We ask him to identify himself and he does and then we say it’s about an hour walk from where we were down the only road in the area and we point in the direction of travel. Morning comes around and the officer in charge of the ECP rotation looks over our log book and cross out the log entry for the above interaction and orders us to forget it happened and to not mention it to anyone on the op. The guys name was Rother, lance Corporal Jason Rother… fuck. Still chills me 4 years later to think about.

    Brother there are not words for how much I hate the desert. Its hot during the day, chilly at night, sand constantly gets in your clothes, in your weapons, in your eyes..it really is a miserable place to be.

    My friends (and now myself in hindsight) always thought it was goofy the silly things we did for entertainment while enlisted. I’ll forever remember in boot camp sewing hackysacks together with extra buttons and skivies and playing after lights out in the head. Bunch of grown men in shorts and boots playing in the bathroom. Could definitely relate to the patty-cakes scenario on multiple occasions during my time in

    I will say this, crazy shit happens in the desert... Never be alone out there at night. You never know what might find you out there.

    I was an Army Reservist and we did our pre-mob at JBLM. We stayed in those barracks in 2010.

    I love the desert around 29 Palms. I live in LA, and I try to get out there as often as I can. The desert is my home.

    Dang it! I lived on JBLM for a year (was supposed to be two year but my mom and I had to go home early due to being aleric to just about every plant on the base) while my dad was stationed there, and I had no idea there was an alleged haunted building I could have visited.
