My grandfather was shot down over Vietnam in 1969. He was MIA for 40 years. The night he was shot down, my mom saw a Viet Cong soldier at the foot of her bed. She wouldn't learn he had been shot down until the next day, and she wouldn't learn his exact fate until 2009, when his dog-tags and bone fragments were found among the wreckage in Laos. On another note ,when I was in Afghanistan, I would look at the majestic, snow capped mountains of the Hindu Kush mountains and think "this place would be beautiful if it weren't for it being a warzone"
Thank you for sharing
Sorry for your lost, he actually died for his own country as a brave soldier 🇺🇲🎖️ 🪖⚔️💪🇺🇲
I thought the same thing. If it wasn't for the fact that the place is a perpetual warzone, I would have loved to have gone back there as a civi and disappeared into thise mountains for a while
Retired 11B here, sadly, for the Gulf War and OIF 1, those words never quite came out of my mouth, lol.
@Echo Hunter yeah, been to Iraq too. Not a fan. Suffice to say I sympathize with Anakin. I hate sand
There is something wholesome about the spirit of a Roman legionnaire, haunting the jungles of Vietnam for centuries, appear to a modern soldier and giving them a lesson from one soldier to another. Telling a soldier centuries apart from his time that he will die too, do not become prideful and full of hubris, you are a mortal.
Yeah. It tells us that mortality should be treasured because if we fly too close to the sun we fall.
A decendent maybe?
An ancestor visits a descendant on the eve of the Parentalia
@@brianjohnson5272thats what i was thinking too. Theres a reason why cultures and peoples all over the world have similar stories and beliefs of ancestor worship despite these peoples never meeting each other until the discovery of the new world.
Perhaps this was an ancestor watching over him. A fellow soldier from his his own bloodline that wanted to see him through the war .
The legionnaire must be like: By Mars, that’s ma BOY!
Italien bloodline not told. Poor ghost still waiting to be reincarnated, died intoxicated or suicide.
Who is ready for the Parentalia?
I can't tell if you're joking or serious
@@marcleblanc3602 Or he got sick or got fatally bitten by a snake or something.
During my time as a Marine in Viet Nam in 1970, I was 2nd squad leader with Charlie 1/1. One night, as we were moving to our ambush site, I happened to be walking point with my squad spaced out behind. The sky was cloudy with a ground mist hanging in the valley. My leadership style was to share all duties within the squad. I was moving as carefully as I could and the rest of the guys were absolutely quiet. All of a sudden a very loud voice yelled "Hey, wait up you guys" . The voice was clearly American, and as any infantryman knows there is something distinct about a complaining soldier's voice that is unmistakable. We call immediately froze and we heard nothing more. We called our platoon asking if we had any friendlies in the area, and were assured that there were not. Gives me the shivers just thinking about.
My grandfather who was in several battles in WW1 told me that he had heard that on occasion a German soldier would mimmick an English accent and call out a command. An unsuspecting rookie British soldier would stand up in his trench to respond and got shot by a sniper
@@dorothymargot8030 damn! That's hardcore!
Thank you for your service
I'll bet it was a sasquatch, they have them there too.
And then what happened?
The interesting thing about Romans in Asia: if it *was* a Roman ghost, it might not have been an envoy or scout.
We have no idea what happened to the thousands of legionaries taken prisoner by the Parthians at Carrhae alone. And, while there's absolutely no (edit: hard) evidence, some people have taken Chinese accounts of mercenaries using what sounds like the testudo formation as possibly being Roman prisoners fighting as mercenaries in Asia. Again, likely a myth, but an interesting scenario.
Since China and Rome knew about each other, it’s possible that this soldier was either part of a group escorting an envoy or he was a mercenary escorting a merchant and he died in Vietnam.
Thats a very good point there, well put. Roman prisoners could well have been fighting in Asia
Perhaps not Roman,but Macedonian from Alexander the Greats romp Eastward?
@@nix-cipher Possible, but from what I recall* the ghost was speaking Latin, so my money is still on Roman
*it's been a year since I saw the video lol
Absolutely plausible. We know that Rome and China had trade deals. There were items found in North and South American archeological digs, that were have said to have come from China. Those Portuguese that traded, needed to have gotten it from somewhere. And if you think about how the Incan Empire dominated the Lower Central American Regions, and the Aztecs controlled the middle... If there was trade through the Native Tribes of Western North America, I could see such things cropping up as anomalies here and there. Dismissed as part of nothing larger.
Because it showed Global Trade, on a scale that Archeologists and Historians seem to assume only *WE* could accomplish. How hard is it to imagine that expeditions were mounted and lost, like... say... a lot of the British ones to the Arctic? XD
Oh yes. These Ocean Worthy Vessels of like... 4 timbers and a seal hide? Crossed the Pacific, Conquered the Oceans, Settled new lands. Rome using the silk road and tradeships to send envoys, armies, and even assassins? Holy Roma, wash your mouth out with soap.
It's not far fetched, to think that this soldier came to give another soldier solid advice.
"Memento Mori" = "Remember, you must die". AKA: "You are Mortal."
Once when I was a small child visiting relatives in Ireland. It was a cold, cold brutal winter evening, the frost covered every where, snow dragged up to my knees and my breath froze in the air. I was walking home my dad was miles infront of me. All I could think off of getting inside and getting warm. We cut through this farm trail for quickness I couldn't see my dad anymore but I knew the way back to my grandparents farm house from there so I wasn't afraid of lagging behind. Suddenly I got a strange feeling in my body. Like I was suddenly aware of everything around me. I could sence it all. I froze in the spot like something was physically stopping me moving and I was filled with a sence of utter dread. It was pitch black there was only the light from the distant street lights behind me so I could only see the path afew feet in from of me. I tried to call our to my dad but no sound escaped my lips. Like all the air had been taken out of me. My eyes were blurry from the cold and just as I was trying to refocus them suddenly there was a figure standing infront of me. It wasn't my father. This figure was tall. Tall beyond belief. Even to an 8 year old child. He had long black hair that seemed to be floating in the air even though there was no wind. His eyes where white and alluminating as if he was staring directly into my soul and he was handsome, very handsome, almost angelic. He was naked say for a thick, long tartan blanket draped over his body. He was covered is bloody whip lashes. I recited the lords prayer as my mother tought me to do whenever I was scared. As soon as I started wispering the Lord prayer he spoke to me in Gaelic. He said
"Is liomsa tú"
Just as he said this he reached with his arms out stretched and lunged at me. I screamed and collapsed in a heap. I remember the frosty, solid soil hitting me as I fell and he disappeared just as my dad comes running with his flashlight. I was so scared and I was crying hard as he tried to pick me up. I tried to tell him what I seen but how do you explain that as a child. It traumatised me for years. Later I discovered what "Is liomsa tú" meant. In irish gaelic it means "you are mine" making it even more chilling. I'm 31 now and it still haunts me.
wow, that is a very frightening experience, especially when they speak to you in an ancient language 😮
Uh oh, you encountered a fae.
You're, uh, kinda fucked
weird
That was my mate Dave he's always doing that
That's an amazing experience you had.
That silhouette would definitely cause a forced colonic evacuation if I saw it, in person.
If this story is true, then Thomas was probably the only living person to hear Latin spoken by a native speaker. Which is impressive because the way modern people pronounce Latin is an assumption of how it should sound. Compare to French, for example, where the letters used don't always align with how it is supposed to sound. Linguistics scholars would kill for a chance to hear Latin from a native speaker, because for all we know we are pronouncing nearly everything wrongly.
I once picked tobacco with a French man from France in Ontario Canada. He had a very hard time understanding the French language the French men from Quebec were speaking.
Stephen Hashey I have heard French referred to as 'bad latin' in a historical context when the Frankish culture was evolving. So by comparison the Quebecois and their Joual is 'even worse latin' compared tothe Academie Francaise approved French.
Interestingly this isn’t entirely true. You are referring to ecclesiastical latin, which was basically a latin revival by the church borrowing Italian pronunciation. We do know how classical latin was pronounced though. One way we know this is by reconstruction (looking for rimes in poetry, sound changes in modern romance languages, spelling mistakes by uneducated authors, and a whole bunch of other methods and tricks). Another way is simply reading what they left behind. Luckily for us the Roman upper classes were almost obsessed with orthography and the right pronunciation. Some teaching books listing words, how they are correctly written and pronounced, have even survived.
I feel that way about those Bigfoot hunters who go out whooping and knocking. The Squatchs probably think "these human idiots have no idea what they're talking about"
@@steven_003 Yeah, you can even find videos here on youtube. I'm sure if someone was to pop up in Rome speaking this, they'd still have a tough time as theory will only get you so far, but I'm sure someone could make it work.
I'm a huge 'lost' history fan so seeing a story that speculates that Roman's might have made it as far as Vietnam is awesome!
Noah, I believe that story of the,Roman soldier was a red herring. A fictitious story if ever I heard one.
Their merchant ships brought fish sauce, the rich ancient Roman food to Southeast Asia to sell for locals.
@@johanna5688I don’t think the veteran made it up. More so it could’ve been an ancestor. There is no way in possibility Roman’s made it to Vietnam.
@@RussianFederation.gov. you cant really say that since they reached india,china and even roman coins have been found in japan
@@sinotto7715 traders sure but we clearly don't have imperial records of a roman naval expedition to southeast Asia and those guys were very meticulous record keepers
See, telling a soldier to "Remember, you must die" actually makes complete sense. When you're talking about life and death situations, where split second decisions can mean you or a buddy go home in a box or not, a soldiers mind needs to be on one thing: Kill. If there more preoccupied with worrying about not getting killed, then with stopping the threat, bad things will happen. If a soldier understands that he will die at some point, that death is inevitable, then he can clear his mind and focus on the task at hand. In this way, you can survive what seems like a sure death. K
I uploaded a interview I did with a Vietnam Veteran if you guys are interested
You don't just simply go home in a box tho... You went home home in a box, loaded with at least 10 kilos of COKE!!! Did you really, honestly think that the Nixon Administration sent our troops over to Vietnam for NOTHING??? 💰💰💰💀💰💰💰
@@OtomoTenzi One your comment is shadow banned. 2, It wasn't coke coming back. It was black tar hrion and opuim taken from the "Golden Triangle" around Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam. They didn't start shipping coke in till the CIA got involved with Contras in the late 70s/early 80s. Course they started pulling in more opuim and black tar in the late 80s in exchange for helping the Mujahideen against the Soviets. But when Iran-Contra came into public knowledge, they had to dump there whole supplies quickly, over 100 tons, which is how the CIA started the crack epidemic in the late 80s and 90s, because it was how they could get rid of it all quick and cheap. But going back to Mujahideen and black tar, the CIAs been getting that from them for the last 30 years. It's why we left 80 billion dollars worth of equipment in Afghanistan for the Tallies. It was payment. I could go on and on and on with this. But connect the dots, follow the trails, and you'll see the truth
I wonder if it transliterates better to "Remember, thou art mortal."
"Accept your death, and you will be free to fight."
-Bruce Lee
Funnily enough, I remember reading in the 90s that archaeologists had found Roman coins in trading post remains they had dug up in Vietnam. The world trade network is much more ancient and developed than most people realize, and at the very least it would have been reasonable to assume that mercenaries from Rome might have made their way to Vietnam or beyond.
Not to say it's impossible Romans got as far as Vietnam (there is at least an account of Romans who were either diplomats or merchants arriving in China at some point), but the Roman coins being there doesn't necessarily mean the Romans themselves were there. The Romans had a massive trade with India on the sea lanes of the western Indian Ocean. Many, many, many Roman coins would have made it to India. And the Indian states would then have used those same coins in their trade with other parts of Asia, such as Siam (Thailand), Vietnam and China. So those Roman coins likely traveled from India along the trade routes of the eastern Indian Ocean, being traded from kingdom to kingdom. A direct Roman trade link to Vietnam is unlikely, given the sheer distance (and therefore danger and expense) involved and the fact that anything the Romans could get from Vietnam they could get much easier in India, since trade goods from Vietnam would be going to India anyway along the established trade routes. It is entirely possible that some Romans went that far east at least a few times, and almost certain that they did so at least once, but it's unlikely that it was a regular and sustained thing.
@@kawadashogo8258 Congratulations on basically repeating my point but with far more words than necessary.
@@kawadashogo8258 Well simply this soldier was part of an escort for the merchant as a mercenary or was escorting the diplomat.
I read a story long time ago said the Roman merchants brought fish sauce the rich ancient Roman food to Southeast Asia to sell to the Asian.
Imagine a Chinese called Lee jian....😮
1) the most obvious Latin phrase that sounds similar to what the soldier heard is "Memento Mori", which literally means "remember, you will die".
2) it's unusual for a Roman centurion to be in Indochina but people from Greco-Roman societies have definitely been there during the late Iron Age. Specifically: the Greco-Bactrians, or whoever left items from the reign of Emperor Antoninus in the ancient town of Oc Eo, Southern Vietnam
well you see, spirit isnt bound by any physical length or space anymore
This isn't the first time I've heard about Romans in Vietnam. I read mention of evidence of Romans visiting Vietnam, without the paranormal angle, in another first person account of the Vietnam war. This account reported that some younger soldiers were informed of this by their platoon sargeant who had a love of history. I could see how this could morph into a ghost story.
I once read about how a recon Marine patrol was bivouaced on a mountain side when one of their group was attacked by a tiger in the night and his dead body was carried off by the big cat; the Marine's buddies tracked the animal, shot it and recovered his remains. I suspect this might have been the inspiration for the "Never get out of the boat!" scene in the movie Apocalypse Now!
The idea of seeing a ghost on the battlefield is just is very startling. Especially when your fighting a guerrilla war with a enemy that has home advantage
Not just Vietnam but every other conflict. I have read some truly spine chilling stories from forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. There is something horrifying lurking in those deserts.
@@LakesideAmusementPro care to share some.
@@petepan9696 if you haven't, check out the Bedtime Stories video "There is Something in the Desert"
I find it relaxing, like its all a passing show, with a futur after all the madness.
I have come to believe that these sightings are from a dimension where time and distance are irrelevant.
I don't like to be overly skeptical, but I will say this on the first story:
Any American guy who went through school likely has a good idea what a Roman soldier looks like, and "memento mori" is one of those phrases that is used regularly in English, despite being Latin.
I think it's quite plausible for the vision described to be conjured from the man's imagination. He may likely have known of the phrase "memento mori" somewhat subconsciously, just not remembering at the time that he'd heard it before.
I'm not overly sceptical - just sceptical 😉 - but I tend to agree with you. Add some of the recreational drugs many took during the Viet Nam war, and anything is possible.
And you don’t even need all the added drugs to get there……spending days/weeks wondering a dense foreign jungle under such high stress with minimal sleep and the weather is def a recipe itself for a young 18-22 year old to have hallucinations.
Never heard the phrase til now and I’ve gone to a highly accredit university. What may feel like common knowledge to you, isn’t necessarily that for others.
I found this on Sino-Roman Relations Wiki: Ptolemy's "Cattigara" was most likely Óc Eo, Vietnam, where Antonine-era Roman items have been found. You also may have heard of the ladies on the East Coast in the U.S. getting in an elevator at a school and it went down to the basement and when the door opened and the room was filled with Civil War victims in various stages of having their wounded limbs cut off. It was real to them and they were apparently transported. Of course the women were completely horrified and speechless! I am not sure where I saw this on UA-cam but it was within the last 6 months (maybe it was Bedtime Stories, I am not sure).
Seeing this episode reminds me of a story my dad told me.
My dad grew up in Turners Falls, Massachusetts. It was your typical small New England village in the western part of the state. At one time it was an industrial town with a bunch of factories set up along the power canal running through town, just by the Connecticut River, but I digress.
The way my dad tells it, this happened to him when he was a kid growing up in my grandmother's old house (the house has since been sold to one of my dad's brothers and she now lives in an assisted living facility). He used to sleep in one of the bedrooms upstairs, if my memory serves me correctly. One night, he woke for some reason from a dead sleep and happened to glance down near the foot of his bed, and that's when he saw something bizarre.
He described it, again if my memory serves me correctly, as a white, ghostly head, with no body, just sitting there at the foot of his bed. It made no noise, nor did it attempt to approach him or speak to him. It just hung there, seemingly staring at him. I say, seemingly, because he said that this figure had no face whatsoever. Naturally, he did what any young kid would do in that situation; he immediately threw the covers over his head and hid himself. I don't know if he peeked out again after a while or if he just hid there for the rest of the night, but he swore to me when he told me the story that it was a hundred percent true.
I should mention that I've stayed in that house before, even slept in the same room that he allegedly saw this thing in, and I've never had any experiences there. I admit that the room is absolutely pitch black at night, which personally creeps me out to no end, but that's it. Never saw anything weird. Still, pretty damn creepy story.
I, as an American-Vietnamese, descendant, these stories are truly real. These encounters that the American vets told, they are true, and not just by American forces but both sides too.
This was awesome an awesome story! Love the art work too as usual! 👍
Man, it's almost 1AM here. I hope you live on the West Coast or in Hawaii, lol. Or maybe you just have the same night owl schedule that I do.
@@WartimeStories assuming a paranormal explanation for the Roman soldier, was Thomas partially of Italian background? Perhaps an ancestor warning him?
@@saratmodugu2721 I was thinking the same thing about the ghost being an ancestor
I uploaded a interview I did with a Vietnam Veteran if you guys are interested
This channel is something I am always looking forward too. While I never served myself, I grew up in a deeply military family. All enlisted across all branches. Family gatherings often ended with nights by a fire and listening to my elders tell very similar stories about their experiences in conflicts from WW2 to Desert Storm. Most of those stories carried an air of the supernatural or unknown to them. While I am a skeptical person, I cannot help but feel that if these stories are true at face value, then human conflict attracts the attention of forces not of this Earth. Be they from another world of another plane of existence. I will just end on that by saying none of my relatives ever gave me reason to doubt their sincerity. As far as they were concerned, they were recounting the story as they understood it to be true.
I guess what I am getting at is these stories really hit home with me. They feel like those nights listening to my relatives speak of foo fighters and shadows in the trees. Thank you so much for doing this and I look forward to the next video.
My late father, who sailed on Convoy PQ17 (aka The Convoy to Hell) was adrift in an open lifeboat after he had been forced to abandon ship for the second time on that run. Almost at their last resources, he was firmly convinced he saw a vision of angels appear to fill the sky, reassuring him. About an hour later another ship found them and took them to Murmansk. And he believed that until the day he died. Make of it what you wish.

I love this channel. You tell so many chilling stories and still honor the military and those in its service. I'm loving the Vietnam stories. Thank you. Keep up the great work!
I just like the fact that a lot of the stories come from conflict zones that could draw the attention of some of the forces and phenomena at play also the fact that a lot of the observers happen to be service members on active duty meaning that they were not there to hold some thing they weren’t there because they wanted to be there somehow in my mind lens more credibility to their stories in certain situations
I experienced a ghost @ 7 years of age when my mother committed suicide (CO poisoning) in the garage. I believe she woke up just before death
that is a desperately sad story, my father hung himself. Your mother would have been coming back to 'apologise', if this was a genuine haunting. I am sure she was able to see you growing up, wherever you moved to. Bless her.
This is truly fascinating, and certainly not something that you hear about everyday... Could you please describe your mother's visits? I know that 7 is quite too young to understand quite alot of things in life; especially the paranormal. But then again, that is also a very 'impressionable' age to be experiencing those kinds of life-changing events. Once you experience something as frightening like that at such a young and vulnerable age, you'll tend to NEVER forget it! I'm sure you still remember enough details, so can you please tell us more about it?
@@OtomoTenzi white out shopping, she would turn on all of the interior lights of the station wagon we owned and she used for her suicide. also at night when we arrived home from the store, every single light was turned on inside the house for us. this occurred enough that my father would go next door and call the police before letting us enter the house. all 3 of our beds, myself, brother, and sister were completely made when we woke up, perfect creases in all the blankets and sheets. something happened to my father and he would never tell us, but he told us to get in the car and we never saw the house again. We moved to our grandparents house until my father remarried about 10 months later

Hey I have experienced this while deer hunting, sitting on a pipe line right of way just off the edge in the woods at top of a long hill ,about 200 yards away spotted movement at the foot of the hill and it stopped , it wasn't light enough to make out if it was a deer or what ,I would not take my eyes off in case it was! As it began getting lighter it began to look more like a person just standing and staring at me, just as I was it, I thought it must be another deer hunter only I could not see a rifle or a orange vest! I thought it must be my eyes playing tricks on me as it was beginning to get day light, I have seen lots of deer at this time of day but this was not a deer, I tried not to blink or move my eyes away from this to try to make out if it was indeed a person, I was thinking what would a person be doing out here this early, 2 miles from closest road ,no gun, no orange vest in middle of deer season, good way to get shot and then all of a sudden it just disappeared, just vanished while I was watching , felt a cool breeze on the back of my neck, it was really creepy and about this time I decided to go and hunt somewhere else! This land belonged to my grandparents at the time and now belongs to my father now, I have never been back there since and don't have a desire to every go back again, I will leave this whatever to peace! I have never told this story before to anyone, and it has been over forty years since it happened, not my dad ,wife,mother, or my son !
"Remember that you have to die" is an awfully cryptic message. Even for a ghostly Roman soldier
True, but in the end, we still decide on how we live our short but altogether not insignificant lives before the inevitable comes.
Memento mori is a saying brought by classical period philosophers.
I was always taught the phrase meant, 'Remember, you too, must die' as a bittersweet rumination that should be the fundamental basis of how you live/perceive life. It blew my kid mind.
Makes perfect sense If you think about it, its a soldier giving his respect to another solider - different time, army, uniform and well every aspect but that one of a similar creed..... remember you must die, as simple a message to give - hence the nod - in some weird way its comforting, kind of like relax keep your head in the game. Everyone has got to go sometime so just make sure you're isn't here
I heard about two Roman soldiers walking past a gay bathhouse outside of Athens. One said, what are those noises? The other replied,,Sounds Greek to me."
Like I've said before, The Messenger (Angel) of Death isn't a bad guy at all! And that isn't even his main duty. It was human actions that forced the role upon him. He HAS an AWESOME sense of Irony. And likes passing clues to the lost history of mankind best of all. Recording history, is, his intended function.
I don’t mean this in a negative way. I don’t understand the reference to the Angel of Death in your comment. If you don’t mind, could you explain
@@chanel58style70 ...The Ghost? Wasn't human, but a watcher-type messenger. Recording history is 'his" (shape-changer ya know?) main function. He loves irony, as it's the ONLY form of humor he understands. ALL messengers (Bright OR Dark) are quite emotionally stunted by human standards. If you want to understand YHWH'S emotions you have to understand your own. ^_^
He was just passing an important but forgotten clue about human history here -
@@supernautacus Makes sense to me.
Oh my god, shut up. You speak about the afterlife and supernatural things as if you KNOW. You don't know a single thing about what lies beyond death.
Here in the UK 🇬🇧 in a city called York in North Yorkshire there's been sightings of a ghost Roman patrol that's been by many people..York was the main garrison city in Roman times.
My father was in the Coast Guard as an Electronics Technician from the late 60s to mid 70s. He did icebreaker duty and told me of the few times being sent to weather monitoring stations in Greenland. One time, at this old WW2 outpost where he was sent to replace and maintain equipment, he definitely felt a presence and was confirmed by others that were there regularly that this was "the base ghost". I can't remember too many more details of what he told me on that one, but it's interesting.
Exhaustion hallucinations are a real thing. I had them once myself but sometimes strange things happen in this world.
That story was startling. I can envision an American soldier encountering an enemy's ghost. But a Roman soldier? Romans in Vietnam? It's intriguing.
Rome and Ancient China did know about each other so that guy was probably part of a delegation that ended up in Nam somehow.
Guardian Angel perhaps? At the beginning of this story it is worth noting that Thomas the soldier is said to be deeply religious, now assuming he's a deeply religious Christian or Catholic it made sense why the ghost or Angel appeared to him dressed as a Roman soldier as Christianity especially Catholicism is steep in Roman influence and tradition
@@mapleflag6518 I doubt it. The Romans knew of the Chinese and the Chinese knew of the Romans but it was only through second hand rumors and through trade goods making it into both empires through indirect means. I suppose the easiest way to put it is that they both knew of each other in the sense of "Hey, I hear there is this massively powerful empire waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy over there that makes some rather exotic crap".
@@skylargray455 I’ve seen my guardian angel. He was dressed in a white toga with a wide beautiful gold rope around his waist. He looked at me like I was the stupidest person ever. I joke that I’m his punishment. Hehe Truth.
@@mapleflag6518 I actually did some searching and there were at least two envoys sent to China by the Roman Empire, the earliest in 166 CE under Marcus Aurelius. Back then a good chunk of Vietnam was controlled by China so it’s likely that the envoys passed through what is now Vietnam.
I agree with Mary Morris. This channel is amazing. Every time I hear a Vietnam story. I think of my dad, being the main character. He was a sergeant on the front lines over there. From 67-69. He has some crazy stories. So glad he made it back. Thanks for telling these stories. All the men and woman of the armed forces need to be heard. Not enough people give them the respect they need.
When a soldier or anyone is exposed or under constant stress it can play games on the mind and body In some really aweful senarios. As a Nam grunt It was nothing to hear someone let out a scream, or yell during the night permiter from a "bad dream". Brave brothers,carry on! No one ever said A word
When the theory of Vikings landing in North America was first introduced, it was initially heavily disputed but now accepted historical facts. I can easily see a Roman expedition into Southeast Asia 2k yrs ago….fascinating indeed!
An interesting video especially about Vietnam. Always want to know of what was like telling stories of the conflict.
As have I. I honestly knew very little about war history before starting the channel. Kind of nice to have work that forces me to study things I wouldn't have otherwise.
As for this war specifically, I've wanted to spread them out to keep things interesting but from my last two years of compiled research, there are many more strange stories to tell from Vietnam.
@@WartimeStories If your interested in doing a paranormal style documentary on this channel, I'd suggest looking into the US's psych ops in 'Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
@@WartimeStories Or, do an episode on the giant that was found in Afghanistan in '01 in the Tora Bora caves region
@@WartimeStories I look forward to it and this one is a interesting one cause of how these soldiers were telling back in 2004 or 2019 something like that but a roman soldier on Vietnam grounds looks like a fever dream but pretty cool.
The roman soldier saying "Memento Mori" or "remember that you [have to] die" reminds me of Markiplier and Ethan's channel, "Unus Annus" which is also latin for "One Year."
I always keep in mind the while a story may seem incredible, to the people involved, it was very real at the time it occurred.
My dad was member underwater demolitions team sent too Bora Bora an Pacific Islands. He took a picture of his best friends grave on an Island, too remember his friend. Many months later, when back to civilization, dad had film developed from camera he carried in Pacific. When developed dad found picture of his friends grave. But he noticed a figure floating over the grave, at attention, with hand dilute, in full dress uniform. Dad said he could make out his friend, but being in Island war zone there wasn't a full dress uniform for thousands of miles! I saw the picture, an I saw the grave an figure at attention over it. Dad thought a picture might have double exposed in error, but there was no other pictures developed that were even close to a sailor at attention.
Been on the channel since launch ( sister channel to bedtime stories) I know your content is value , you will hit 1million at minimum and I will still be here supporting you bud. Best channel!
1965 & '66 were the wrong years to visit Vietnam. Those poor 18 yr old infantrymen were just dropped into a war no one could've trained them for. The "tunnel rat" duty: straight up guaranteed horrible death
Once after a firefight in a cave .after it was over I was standing outside smoking a cigarette and saw something I think were ghost leaving the cave.nobody believed me but the sight of it always stayed with me.
What an interesting premise.
I've thought of this for awhile now, but your intro is really unique and really fitting to your channel; hope you keep it for a long time to come, Thanks for your efforts!
This is such a great channel. Thanks to all of those men, and women that have served our country. May God bless them all.
Thank you Wartime Stories, You are like a Bard of old keeping tales of legend alive for for the heroes who wouldn't otherwise be able to teach the masses
Bro, How long do you spend on audio alone dam. The sound space you create is the best I’ve heard anywhere on UA-cam. The mix is just great it really gets you immersed in the story.
Good question. Well, I wasn't paying that much attention to the timeline, but I think I did this one in about 13 days, and the animations took the better part of a week. Probably 6 days. The writing/recording and editing out the mouth noises and whatnot took maybe 3-4 days. So that leaves about 3-4ish days, maybe 8-10 hours a day for the audio. So that's what, maybe 30-40 hours? And I probably spend like a day and a half, maybe two, just on the music alone.
So...maybe what... A day's work on the on the rest of the audio? A good portion of the time is just spent looking for open-source audio to use. To be fair, I've been practicing since the Champ Ferguson videos and I sometimes can reuse some of the same audio tracks and that saves time looking for new ones.
But yes! Thanks man, for letting me know. I appreciate that. The feeling of immersion is exactly what I was hoping it would do (for the headphone/earbud listeners, anyway).
The problem with the idea of London being founded as New Troy is that the language that name is in is Latin, as is the name of the founder. And... actually, as far as we know, the city WAS founded by the Romans. It was a small town in Roman Britain along a trade route between the then-capital Camulodunum and another city, and it quickly eclipsed Camulodunum in both status and size due to it being a much better positioned city along the Thames. However, it's unlikely the name was ever New Troy. The earliest references to the city all speak of Londinium. As for Camulodunum, that city is now known as Colchester.
As for what the ghost of a Roman soldier would be doing in Vietnam: The Romans actively traded with China via sea routes that went through the Strait of Malacca and up the Vietnamese coastline. Those trade expeditions would have almost certainly been guarded by retired Roman soldiers - veterans who had finished their terms of service and were now doing other things. It's very likely at least a few vessels were shipwrecked along the Vietnamese coast and the survivors found their way inland, where they met their fates.
There is also same story in india of baba harbhajan singh whose ghost still petrols on indo China border . He was a real soldier in indian army and one day suddenly got lost during petrolloing border days later his body was found he had slipped and died from falling from cliff. Many indian soldiers have reported seeing him petrolling the borders and some even said they were slapped by him when they fall asleep during petrolloing hours. He is seen as a great hero in indian there is even a temple his honour and a reserved seat in every meeting on that particular border. He is assigned leaves his bag shoes are sent to his home every year in an train with reserved ticket of his name you shoudl make a video on him someday
I did run across his story a month or two ago and I have it saved for an episode about "Ghost Soldiers". Since what you find online isn't always accurate, if you have anything additional to offer about the story (ever if it's just your own or other local beliefs/opinions about the story) I'd love to hear them!
@@WartimeStories sry about this late rply due to some personal problems. I tried and couldn't findmuch about baba ji but i got some things. First he was born as harbhajan singh in village sadrana now in Pakistan on 30 august 1946 he joined army and in punjab regiment. He also participate in indo pak war after that he was posted in sikkim in north east india along indo china border . He was carrying army supplies to base camp around Himalayas when he fell off the ciff in nathula pass when he didn't came back to report his superiors though he abandoned his post and called him coward . He belonged to sikh family which are considered martial race in india this was a insult to him late at night he appeared in his friends dream and told him what happened and where to find his body . His friends told the senior officer they didn't believe him but after much taking they aggred and serach party left to find him his body was found near the place he told him in his dream after that many instances happened where soldiers on guard duty will get a slap or some people will see s sikh boy guarding the border at night as these instances happened more and more army considered him still on duty then officer gave him title of baba which menas father its used for saints or holy men in india . There is also a temple in his honour and he also got promoted a got a office for himself there he has his own desk where every morning tea and other things are left on his table and his photo on the chair his . There has been many instances where in his room when the soldiers setup his bed and clean clothes but when they open the doors in morning there is fresh mud on his shoes and bed looks like someone has sleeped in it . He also got holidays when his luggage will be send to his mother in his home town with special seat in train with 2 army personnel his leaves has been disapproved on seceral occasions when there is tension on border when he is on holiday there is always red aleart on border this practice of sending his belongings in home via train is not practice any more due to some people went to high court ad said army is doing wrong by beliveing and promoting superstitions. He got retired from army but still people see him that all i could find
Yes. Many tourists also told this story while visiting Nathula Pass (India - China border) near Ganktok, Sikkim.
There is also a temple near the pass honouring to this soldiers soul.
I've no trouble believing the Romans ventured into Vietnam. People back then got around a lot better than we give them credit for. A Roman soldier might have seen much more of the world than most people do today. I can think of a hundred explanations for what these men saw, but great stories nonetheless. Great job on this video as always :)
I am from India we are tought in history before Christ Roman came to North India some of clans bordering china and Pakistan stll claim as their descendants. They belief in strange religions and belief. So some of them might crossed to China and eastward
@@spshukla9905 I don't think there's much doubt that the Romans got at least as far as India, just as Alexander did before them. When you say strange beliefs, what sort of thing are you talking about? What are these clans called, if they have a name? Are they in Kashmir?
@@Libbathegreat sorry. These clans claims to be decendant of Alexander the grate..these are found near Swat velly of Pakistan and Himachal Pradesh of India sorry fr confusion
@@spshukla9905 No worries, it's an understandable mistake. I think it's likely the Romans would have left a mark there as well, perhaps allied with these descendants of Alexander (whom they greatly admired) when they did make it to India.
I thought fish sauce originally producted in Southeast Asia,but it really brought to the region by ancient Roman merchants.
My Bother in law is a Sri Lankan army, Major. Up until recently, Sri Lanka had the largest minefield in south Asia as an aftermath of the 30year long Elam Wars between Government Forces and The LTTE. A Blood Bath where 100K + people lost their lives. If anyone has traveled to Sri Lanka - Just like Vietnam this is hard fighting country. Even areas that look from above to be easily passable become total hell for humans to pass through due to the elephant grass and throne bushes and wild animals which becomes even more miserable if there are people shooting at you with RPGs, heavy caliber machine guns and sniper rifles form all sides. So yeah it was hell. a lot of people died. soldiers, guerillas, and civis alike. After LTTE was virtually annihilated in 2009 during the final battles of the 4th Elam War, government forces started mopping up operations and rebuilding and mine clearance duties so that the civilians could get back to their normal lives. My brother-in-law got transferred from base to base for various duties as he was attached to the SLA Engeener Corp and specialized in Mine clearance and K9 Unit. In one such transfer he was assigned as a commanding office of a base deep inside the northern Jungles. After going there....at night, while in his personal officer quarters. As a Devout Buddhit, he turned on his radio to play the Buddhit PIRITH chantings which help most Buddhist to calm their nerves and have a good night's sleep. After 10-15 minutes there was a knock on his door. So he got up and went to check. Upon opening the door there was a Sri Lankan Army soldier who was on Guard Duty. He asked what is the issue ..to which the Soldier replied. Sir. We do not play PIRITH chantings here at night. As most of the Sri Lankan army soldiers are Buddhists this was quite confusing to my Bother in Law so he asked " AND WHY NOT ?" then the Guard explained that they are actually on top of a former LTTE camp. Which was overrun by the Sri Lankan army during the war. Hundreds of LTTE Terrorists died that day and all of their bodies were buried in the camp itself upon which the Sri Lankan Amry Camp was established later. So apparently when Buddhit PIRITH chantings are played at night Soldiers guarding the camp parameters always report unexplained events, seeing shadows, hearing angry voices, soldiers getting possessed etc...So this is why they have realized its best that they play news or Songs but never Buddhist Chantings. Because it's not a wonder for the Spirits of dead LTTE terrorists who were predominantly Hindus to hate hearing their enemy's Religious Chantings over their Graves. > YEah there are evil places like that in the world....
Wow great story. You should submit it on the website directly
@@danialeatherman8934 Thank you , Kindly. I have a bunch like that collected over several decades of self research in to paranormal events locally. Let me see..
@@danialeatherman8934 Thank You
Momento Mori. translated literally, it means remember death. However, its actual meaning is You cannot escape death. This phrase was a favorite of Marc Antony, who used it as a motivational phrase. Basically meaning, dont waste time because you can always die.
The story about slaves whispering it to commanders to keep them humble. Thats actually true, but the phrase is slightly off. Latin is a language where context matters. The slave did say Momento Mori, but under the special connotation. Instead of meaning you can die or you must die, it meant, You WILL die. Basically the slave was reminding the commander that they were still only human. And this tradition wasnt on campaigns, but during a Roman triumph, which is about the greatest parade youve ever heard of. The general would be treated as akin to a God for an entire day, and frankly, even being a lowly foot soldier in a triumph was considered a great honor. The romans believed in keeping even their greatest generals humble, lest they begin to think they cant make mistakes. Momento Mori also served as a subtle threat in this context, basically the slave was reminding the general that he can die in his bed as an old man, on the battlefield with honor, or on the cross as a traitor should he go against the senate.
Ok it’s dark cold,rainy and with very strong wind…..lightning and thunder…..so your voice always runs a chill down my spine 😳
Momento mori is a common warrior adage, more accurately meaning "Remember that you are mortal." This is a piece of philosophy to help tackle the idea of mortality, and to do the best you can with the fleeting time we have on earth.
I really enjoyed this video, Luke. Thank you.
I loved my father very much and a medium friend of mine said that he is often waiting for me in my studio workshop. I keep glimpsing something in the corner of my eye..I talk aloud and feel that he is there😊. I believe that I can feel him watching me building things as we used to do together. He was a great teacher and when I shave in the mornings I see his expressions in my face😊. If he is waiting for me then that is really good as I miss him so much 😢
Thank you for the share 🙂
I absolutely love this channel and this type of content. I would love it if you did more Vietnam stories or MacVsog stories. The Roy Benivedez doc was so captivating.
I just wanted to thank you for this latest video, Luke. Your content is really professional and I enjoy each video you produce thoroughly!
This was fantastic! I read "Very Crazy GI" a few years ago and this is a wonderful addition to your channel!
Again, I can’t believe that I love your stories, or that I would be watching for the next videos to be posted. I would have never expected myself to be interested in war stories, but the stories are great!! Thank you for opening my eyes to something new. Keep posting!
Mate that was awesome! Keep up the great work.
Love your videos, always makes my day to see an upload!!
The artwork used for each of your stories are superb. The black, greys and whites and precision sketchiness offer eerie and battlefield depictions. It makes each narration even more compelling.
YES!!!!FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER...THANK YOU!
As a Vietnamese American myself, this story is really shocking and amazing that American troop experienced a Roman ghost on Vietnamese soil…. I have heard tons of ghost stories which are very popular in our culture and belief; anyways, a Roman ghost is absolutely Incredible, I never ever heard of Roman ghost in my thirty years born and grown in Vietnam. Very interesting!!!
If this was real then I think this ghost or ancestral spirit followed this American soldier out to Vietnam, probably as a spirit guide or something like that. I don’t think this ghost was haunting that area because he died there
Such beautiful artwork. Thank you.
Nothing like tucking into bed after a long day with a cup of tea and another one of these beautifully put together stories
I love that book! This was an awesome video! Great job!
Thank you for bringing these stories to life. Lest we forget
Been waiting for this. Thank you. The fog of war stories are some of my favorites.
"Very Crazy GI" is one of my favorite books. Your videos always amaze. Thank you for your service, and thank you for this fantastic channel.
The art work on these war time stories is excellent. I am totally impressed 🎉
Awesome Story! per usual I have a request on possibly a future story. I love hearing the stories of the polish resistance during WW2 especially the Grey Ranks. I cry every time in per passion to those brave children
Best channel to have stumbled upon!
Real or not, these stories are a lot of fun. I thank your entire team for working so hard to bring them to us and I hope you keep doing so for years to come. Outstanding channel you've got here. Love u all!
Ghost stories are truly terrifying!!!
Great video, Luke...👍
Another great story. Thank you🙏🏽
You have a most engaging storytelling voice, especially with sinister stories backed by the eerie background soundtrack. Surely you are a professional!
Great as always!
This channel is awesome. The stories are good and keeps you coming for more. I wish there more and more often. Awesome job that they are doing.
Thanks Wilbert. I currently work alone lol. So that might explain the long delays. But thank you! Very much appreciated.
- Luke
Look forward to your stories. Thank you
I still remember reading this story as a kid, in fact I think I still have the book. I particularly liked the story where the American and his montagnard soldier we're being harassed by a local South Vietnamese MP or something, but they ended up getting their revenge in the end. The book is short but filled with great stories.
Back in the 1970's, a technician repairing some cabling in the basement of an ancient building in York, England, suddenly saw a whole file of Roman soldiers appear from out of a wall and march across the room to disappear into the opposite wall. The legionaries were led by an officer on horse back, but what was significant was that the man described the armour and uniforms of the Romans as those being unknown at the time of the event - a few years later, archaeologists found proof that the Romans wore exactly the type of uniforms that he had described, not those that experts believed they wore when he experienced the apparitions. York was a major military garrison during the Roman occupation of Britain from AD 43 to circa AD 410.
I must have wiped out when I watched this one when it came out. Call it a nice surprise, as though it was showing I had seen it, I didn't recognize it, anyway outstanding! & downright creepy. Luke, man I am so pleased you were compelled to start Wartime Stories as you did. Something you have said in the past you enjoyed doing has definitely been something I have enjoyed, but thank you for all your efforts
nice work as always wartime stories.
I’m always excited when I see a new story from you. You have the knack for making these stories thought provoking and emotional but also relatable to all. I really appreciate the effort and work you put in. Thank you very much 👍🙂👍
I'm technically a wildcat, but I went to the University of Arizona lol. Many thanks Frank. I honestly have not seen many comments this thoughtful, and I sincerely appreciate the compliment.
@@WartimeStories I really don’t know what to say. I felt really honored the time you replied to my one of my first comments. Now twice. It means a great deal that you have taken the time to acknowledge me. Would love to have a drink with ya. Thanks again👍🙂👍
I'm way more scared of the living than the dead but what terrifies me is the thought that one day I may lose my fight with cancer. I've survived this disease for nearly 2 decades from when I was 27, hopefully I can live long enough to become a grandfather.
This is a little off topic, but i had a dream several months ago that i was in an ancient Indian temple. In this dream i was part of a Roman delegation or tourist party. It was so real that it was almost like a memory.
I have studied the Romans my whole life but never heard about them reaching as far as India yet apparently there is some evidence they did.
If this is the case then how far did they actually reach? It makes me wonder.
Not as far as some people love to claim. The Romans made it only far enough east to be aware of the existence of places like China and its Empire and most of the "physical evidence" of Romans setting foot in "X eastern country" tends to boil down to artifacts found there and people jumping to conclusions about how they got there. You find 10 Roman coins in a ruined Japanese castle over in Okinawa, and next thing you know people are screeching about Romans in Japan when in reality they got there through trade, being traded from one country to the next until ending up in Okinawa.
Now, there is a claim that Romans made it to China, but not as part of any Roman expedition but rather as slaves, battle captives taken during the Battle of Carrhae in 53 BC when the Parthian Army of 10,000 defeated the Legions of the Roman Republic who numbered between 36,000 to 43,000. Of course, there is no evidence or records of what happened to captured Romans and any evidence that comes out of China should be taken with a huge grain of salt, what with China's love for fabricating history in order to lay claim to land that never belong to them and all...
Given the nature of Romans, it stands to reason that they've probably made it everywhere that land connected. Same as the exploration of the American frontier, their government more than likely set out to map out the known World with small expeditionary parties (of which little evidence would remain today). Mapping out the entire continent from ocean to ocean would be of huge strategic advantage to an empire. Moreover, this exploration would probably be done in relative secrecy, as not to reveal it to enemies.
I uploaded a interview I did with a Vietnam Veteran if you guys are interested
There's more than just some evidence the Romans were in India. It's a confirmed and well-documented fact. There was massive sea trade between India and Roman-ruled Egypt. It's difficult to understand how someone can study ancient Rome their whole life without knowing that, because this is very well-established in scholarship. There are whole books about it. Look up the book "The Roman Empire and the Indian Ocean" by Raoul McLaughlin.
"any evidence that comes out of China should be taken with a huge grain of salt, what with China's love for fabricating history in order to lay claim to land that never belong to them and all..."
Oh that is just rich coming from a Westerner. Look at a map of the world in 1914 and then come back and talk about China. Jesus Christ.
Very interesting stories... Expertly illustrated, and brilliantly told... I'm considdering getting that book... I think it could be worth it...
Hey--Your stories are amazing. Very unusual things occur during wartimes. Thanks for the inside look.
Hell ya…. Always 🔥 content💯‼️
Keep em coming no matter how long it takes, subjects like these are worth the wait, "life imitates art and art imitates life" cross reference is ideal with the unknown.
GREAT another book I have to go buy now. Love it! Great video!
Great Show
This was an interesting one! Can't wait to hear more.
One thing that makes me sad is that we never get to hear the other side of war and their stories. My dad was Laotian, and was hired by the FBI during the secret war, but he always told me stories of being trapped in a camp with his king. Escaping into the wilderness, the Buddha helping him, the man dreams and coming to America. I wish we can get more of that.
Still can't get over how awesome your intro is lol Hell, your entire production value is amazing. It's kinda to be expected from a sister channel of Bedtime Stories, what with all the knowledge and skill they've acquired over the last number of years but still, it's so good, especially your use of multiple people to voice over lines of dialogue coming from separate people and in this one, your decision to use a POV view, something even the aforementioned sister channel has tried yet. I can't praise you enough.
As for Thomas' encounter, as I understand it, the Romans never made it past the western edges of modern day Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Turkey and the northern edge of Eqypt and about half way down the Nile. I don't know who told him the Roman's territory stretched to Iran but they were mistaken. What is modern day Iraq and Iran was wholly controlled by the Parthians, who defeated or stalemated the Romans at every turn in their wars. While the Chinese were likely aware of the Romans, the two peoples never had any proven contact, only that which came from traders. There is, however, unproven rumors and legends that some of the 10,000 Romans captured by the Parthians at the Battle of Carrhae might have made it into China as slave soldiers (this being the source of those legends about Chinese cities sacked by men wearing and using Roman-equse equipment, though that could've been any kind of mercs using Roman equipment captured at the aforementioned battle and others in Western Parthia and Turkey). All in all, I have yet to hear about any rumors or legends of Romans exploring Vietnam, let alone fighting and dying there. Of course, I'm apparently in conflict with a professor at Oxford and my knowledge is based on infomation from before the COVID era so what do I know lol It will be funny if I learn something about the Romans, not from the channel I'm subbed to that talks exclusively about ancient cultures like the Romans, but from a channel I'm subbed to for creepy military stories lol
Numerous sources on the internet, one of which is a long Wikipedia article that's accompanied by accurate maps of the anchient Roman Empire, say that the Roman emperor Trajan fought a brief and successful war against the Parthian empire in 116 A.D., that in that same year gave the Roman empire control of almost all of present-day Iraq. This article goes on to say that the successful Roman occupation of this area ended almost as soon as Trajan died the next year, in 117 A.D., only because his successor, the Roman emperor Hadrian, decided for his own unopposable reasons to withdraw from this area.
@@kenw9681You are correct. What's funny is I've seen the map you're likely referring to, which shows the Empire at its greatest extent. Not sure why I forgot that.
As for why Hadrian withdrew, the Roman Empire had grown so big, it was next to impossible to both govern it effectively and to guard it with the technology they had at the time. Hence why a few hundred years later, it was split into East and West.
I love this channel. I especially like the supernatural and weird tales balanced with your serious-minded military background.
Also this should spark some great smoke pit submissions.
I have to admit... perfectly timed ad transition!!! Oh my god that was cool editing.
About 40 years ago friends of ours took their two sons aged 5 and 10 to visit Fort Ticonderoga in upstate NY. When they arrived they got out of their car and then the 5 year old looked around and said “I died here once”. They immediately got back into the car and drove away. Spooky.
That hasty exit took away the opportunity to explore something more
I was stationed at fob Salerno in khost Afghanistan,prior to being taken over by coalition forces,it was a special forces camp,when the green berets took it,they killed many Taliban and foreign fighters,we would get infrared images of people walking on the burial mounds,all the time,to the point where we would ignore it.
Another banger!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 content my dudes!!!
