[@EricDaMAJ]

*I was stationed at Campbell at the exact same time!* I kinda thought the post as a whole was kind of creepy. The shadows of Vietnam did hang heavy on it. Everything in the Army seems shiny and new now (I was in a long time). But back then the equipment and buildings dated from Vietnam to all the way back to WW I - and thanks to years of budget cuts looked it. Really the only new things were the Battle Dress Uniforms. Chances are Robert was still carrying an M1911A1 .45 pistol. Those guns were awesome when new. But by ‘88 the newest were made in ~1965 and some in WW II. Most were so worn out they barely worked. The Army phased in M9 Beretta pistols the same year. While I heard some spooky stories, I never experienced anything supernatural there. Pizza was ordered from the field though even before cell phones. There were range towers that had land lines you could break into and order pizza on. The delivery drivers were often moonlighting soldiers or former soldiers who knew the MGRS. They could navigate out there as long as it was a coordinate near the road. Rumor had it one pizza company even had its own AN/PRC-77 radio for taking field delivery orders.

[@WartimeStories]

Thank you very much for taking the time to share this, Eric. In case he missed it, I've passed your comment on to the guy who wrote this story. After reading your comments on the 1911, it reminded me of a story I heard first hand from the Legends of WWII channel (now I think they've changed to Remembering WWII). An American paratrooper recounted in his interview that, armed only with his 1911, he was picked up by a tank division of German soldiers. He humorously recalled how, when being asked to surrender their weapons and handing over his .45, the german officer's eyes "bugged out" when he turned the pistol around and looked at the size of the barrel, before taking his own .22 Walther P38 out of his holster to compare the two, both in amazement and in what the American soldier believe was something of a horrifying realization of what the American's were fighting them with. The Marines always seemed to get the short end of the stick when it came to funding, even in my more recent time. Worn-out gear is something I'm quite familiar with, but probably not so much with respect to the weapons. Somehow, breaking into a range tower to use a landline seems a lot more daring, haha. The 80s must have been the peak of pizza delivery excellence, the amount of effort they put it. Thanks very much for sharing that.

[@WartimeStories]

Lucky for me I remembered what the guy looked like. Here's the video I was speaking about. The part about them being captured and the 1911 starts at around 16:20. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3m8k4Vsi9x-d5I

[@EricDaMAJ]

Nice video! Yes the M1911 earned its rep in the world wars. The ones left over in ‘88 often didn’t have much rifling left. I’d hate to have to defend myself from a monster with it. The Marines definitely get the short end of the stick when it comes to gear. Their $ comes through the Navy and I’m sure the swabbies would rather spend it on anything else first. One creepy Ft. Campbell detail is that a lot of the land was seized by eminent domain in WW II. Much of it was family farms that dated to the late 1700s. Family farms that came with family graveyards. (BTW many were already abandoned during the Great Depression). So it wasn’t unusual to stumble across them during an FTX rucking through the woods. Rumor had it one of them was so haunted violent windstorms happened at night only within the graveyard’s fence line. One time allegedly scaring off an artillery battery that dared to bivouac there. I have no idea if that rumor is true. But the graveyards are.

[@cruss4612]

I was in at the time when cell phones first started gaining popularity. The first iPhone came out one year before I got out. Domino's didn't have a radio but Range Control would hook it up if you asked. You could place the order over the radio on a separate channel if you bought one for them. They'd order for you and their pizza got delivered first, then they would have the LZ pointed out for the driver. Domino's drivers would take orders from anyone once they got out there, take the cash upfront, and be back with more pizza. They would clean up. A driver would make 500 in tips if they had an order to the field. More if it was a decent looking woman.

I was with the 3/502nd in Ft Campbell from '93 to '97. This was the same infantry battalion which suffered that horrible plane crash returning from the Sinai back in 1985. I was a buck sergeant back then and some my young soldiers living in the barracks would tell me that they would sometimes hear what sounded like a basket ball being bounced against the wall inside barracks rooms which should've been empty. They believe that the ghosts of those lost grunts returned to the one place they left, forever haunting those barracks...

[@justinburke7430]

My name is Justin Burke; I recently found your program on KZbin, and I have enjoyed it, especially this episode. I am a Navy veteran who served from 2010 to 2016 as an Electronics Technician third-class E-4. I was stationed on the USS Theodore Roosevelt from 2012 to 2016; for two of those years, I was temporarily assigned to the Master at Arms or as the Military Police in the other branches. We would rotate between day shift and night shift every couple of months. Now at this point, I have heard stories about the ship from buddies of strange things, such as the little girl who fell down a magazine to her death during a tiger cruise, and you can hear her laugh; I was skeptical because I couldn't find any report of it. I have two stories that happen during our patrols at night. The first story starts with two buddies, Hickey, Heard, and myself, in the forecastle or the front of the ship, where the anchors are pulled up and lowered. So Heard was into the paranormal such as ghost hunting, so he decided to do An EVP, so I'm writing in the log we checked the space on a wild cat which is used to pull the chain up or down; as I'm doing this, Hickey is on the other side, the left side, and heard is behind me heard goes pull my friend Justin's leg if anyone is here. Nothing but a few seconds later, Hickey yells what the fuck! Something pulled my leg, and not even a few seconds passed; a bolt or a screw from the right was thrown, hitting the left side wall or bulkhead. So we stopped, looked at each other, and backed out, facing the room. The other was again at night; we had two new guys from different divisions named Brown and Drazek; this will be important later. So we head to the O10 level called Pri fly, where you have people taking note of landings and departures. So again, Heard does an EVP, but this is the weird part Brown's cellphone chimes with a text message from an unknown number, so we say call it; then Drazek's phone rings turns out it was his phone, but he wasn't using it, but the phone message was personal for Drazek, I can't remember what it said, but it was meant for him. After this, we would tell other patrolmen what happened, and we would get stories of a ghost of a sailor going through a door that was there at one point, now a wall. But there are others, but they are second-hand, but they were weird.

Your story of the pizza guy reminds me of a training exercise that I had in the Army National Guard back in the very early 90s. We were told that the OPFOR was using a certain paved road in the training area and to set up an ambush on it, which we did. Someone forgot to prevent the roads access to other people not involved in the training. So, some unlucky civilian employee got on that wrong road. Luckily, she didn't drive her car into a tree when we started to opening up with blanks, smoke grenades and artillery simulators, then rushing the car for intel. It did take a while to finally calm her down when we realized that she was not part of the training exercise, but I am sure she always had a good story for parties after that.

Only reason I know the term "caracal" is because of the poop coffee. I used to laugh at that. Now I have a reason to fear them, thanks. Kind of makes drinking that coffee a little more badass, now I think on it. I really need to capture all these great military short stories that are being shared here. Stuff like this shouldn't be buried in a comment section. Maybe I can do something with these. Never been to the Middle East myself, but I am very open to believing that any number of strange creatures and other things inhabit the area, based on similar accounts I've heard.

The storage lots aren't that Creepy anymore it's mainly the old bunkers on the south side of base that give off the Creepy vibe now, also the training village on the farthest west corner of the training area found a lot of bones and odd trash during the my last field training in 2020 looked like a homeless encampment moved in and was helping themselves to the wildlife.

[@EmperorPrinc3]

Last time I was in the back 40 near TA 37. I was bullshitting it up with my boys by a fire after doing land nav night iterations. Everyone else was sleeping except for me and 3 other Joe's. We heard a bone chilling long deep scream that sounded close and far away at the same time. I jokingly said it was a windego but deep down I really thought it was one. My boy said he though it was the the scout platoon. But they were camped up south of us on the other side of an ODA around 500meters away. And the scream came from north of us on the other side of a dirt road where no others platoon was camped up. I'm going out into the field tomorrow for 5 days, it's probably not good for mmy mental state listening to this lol

My dad served at Ft Campbell with 2/17th Cav back in 1974 and one time while out in the woods for training they encountered something, they heard horrific screaming sounds and there was movement in the woods that the never could make out. Dad and 4 of his friends, all Vietnam veterans and hunters used to being in the woods. When they came in out house the next morning they were all visibly shaken and disturbed. They specilated about bigfoot, aliens, or even possibly a panther....they never knew but it clearly scared the shit out of all if them. Also we lived on a farm off post and there was a huge creepy cave on the property. I was too young then but always wish i got to explore it more. I remember also that we were always seeing weird lights in the sky that my dad and his friends...pilots and air crews...couldnt identify and were uncomfortable discussing.

Great story! I just found your channel and it peaked my curiosity. I was stationed on Ft. Ord, California, or Planet Ord as it was called, with the 7th ID (light). I recall doing a 25 mile roadmarch with my unit. We started at night around 2100. I remember as we were stretched out, you know that 'accordion effect' of a long column of soldiers, we went by what appeared to be an old cemetery next to the road. The odd thing was there were, what appeared to be green chemlights hanging in the trees. Our entire unit saw this, and thought how odd. I had found some interesting stories about hauntings on Fort Ord but wondered about their validity. If I'm correct East Garrison on Ft Ord was almost completely abandoned except for some office buildings and old style WW2 barracks that were dilapidated. Keep up the great stories! Cheers!😃

[@Great_Sandwich]

@@WartimeStories Well, this completely blew me out of the water. I’ve never had this kind of response to a comment, before. I can the tell criticism was very important to you. Thank you for the invitation to reply. I don’t have the ability to make a video as you did, so I’ll do my best to reply here. ‘Might take a minute or two to get through this, though. I think most people can enjoy a good blooper reel. It’s often fun to see your favourite actors break character, and do something completely unexpected and out of the norm from what you are accustomed to seeing them do. Bloopers have become really a part of contemporary culture. Go back even 30 years, and you’d be hard pressed to find bloopers at the end of films. They existed, of course, but the “blooper reel” wasn’t as prolific then as it is now. Unfortunately, this got completely ruined for me some years ago after watching a splendid film about WWI. From this I came to appreciate the art of “presentation”, and how much goes into it. And also, how much is left out of it. The film was entitled, “Joyeux Noel”, which is French for “Merry Christmas”. It’s the truly remarkable story of the first Christmas truce in the trenches in 1914 shared by British, French, and German troops. Former enemies tentatively emerged from their respective trenches and spent Christmas day together exchanging what gifts they could muster, playing soccer, and sharing good cheer. They swore as men to make Christmas peace, and lay down their arms, and not fire on each other again. The film was moving, and depicted the decency of men toward one another, amid the horror of war. The character of the British officer was a kind, sympathetic and gentle soul. He chose to save life, rather than take it. He was a decent man to whom you would gladly give your loyalty. He was one of the most magnificent characters written for a film of this type, and it made the viewer value him, and adore his character, and pray for his safety. And then in the dvd extras I saw the blooper reel, only to realize that the actor playing this character was a complete asshat. And that realization felt like a brick thrown through a plate glass window. He deliberately screwed up takes only to make it to the blooper reel. In the middle of a vital scene, he’d turn his cap on sideways, cross his eyes, shake his head, and stick out his tongue. The director got short with him, and started to lose his temper. His character was a mature gentleman, a product of English upper class, but this actor was just an immature kid, fresh out of whatever few acting gigs he’d had to that point. I’ve never watched the film again, because I just can’t unsee that actor breaking character, breaking tone, upsetting the other actors on set, and upsetting the director just for the sake of a “blooper”. Bloopers have their place. As an extra to this very moving, historical, Christmas war drama was not it. Your finished product of “Fort Campbell” was fantastic. It was engrossing, it drew me in, and yes, it DID feel like a big production. It DID feel as though you were working with a big team. You did a magnificent job. Your skills as a storyteller are polished and tight. If you have kids now, or should you ever, they will never forget Dad’s scary stories, I promise you. You’ll traumatize them for the rest of their lives, and they’ll love you for it. There are other channels that only present the finished product, and then make a separate “blooper” video for that production. That way, people choose to watch if they wish, for probably this very reason; they don’t have to break the illusion, or compromise the performance by a shift in tone from imaginary to real. People watch the video, and walk away with one impression. Perhaps the silliest example is a channel called, “Epic Rap Battles of History”. This channel is a lot of fun, but they don’t show their behind-the-scenes stuff in the same video as the finished production. Those boys work hard, they put a LOT of effort and research into what they do, and it shows. The silly, “human” part of it comes in their separate behind-the-scenes releases. That’s a suggestion you can consider. Tonight, I watched one of the most engrossing stories I’ve seen in a while. I’ve DONE night security patrols in my time in service. I was right in there with those characters. As a young guy at the time, I’ve been more than a little unnerved at walking around in the dark with my flashlight, rattling locks and fences, always looking over a shoulder to see if anyone, or anything, was approaching from behind. I so totally connected with this video that I don’t think I moved for the entirety of the viewing. Then… to have someone turn on all the lights, draw back the curtains, and tell a story about a pizza? Like a brick through a plate glass window. You have a background in theatre. You of all people would know this: Atmosphere. Theatrics. Presentation. You wouldn’t perform a play with the curtain open, would you? So, if you ask for a suggestion from me, it would be to produce a separate blooper video with stories of behind-the-scenes struggles, and personal adventures, and even… ordering pizza while on a training exercise. Through this you can make a human connection with your audience at a moment that wouldn’t have to piggy-back on a production of a very different tone. Send them off unnerved and chilled. Send them off appreciative of a great performance. Then at a time of your choosing, release the behind-the-scenes feature. That moment could be entirely your own. You have a great thing going here. I’ll stay subscribed, because I respect how you do business. I really appreciate the response video, and I’ll respect whatever decision you make. Thank you, again. Cheers, and best of luck. Happy Hallwe’en!

I was stationed at Campbell from 95-99 with Bco 3/187 Iron Rakkasan and when we did night land navigation, we heard some creepy sounds out there in the bush. Fun and exciting times!

Was stationed at Fort Campbell 86-89, drove that lonely road from the hanger to Range 29, though the back 40 many a night. It can be a creepy drive especially with some fog. Course a loaded MP5 sitting next to you in the truck helps with the creepiness. Nice video.

This story give me the chills!!!! Can't wait to hear part two, glad you told the pizza story by the end keeps me from getting to scary with the main one

[@mikemhoon]

I worked at ft Campbell in 2001. Besides being huge, there are parts of it that are truly what most of us would call wilderness. We built a helicopter runway out in the middle of the wilderness! Never went out that at night! Kinda spooky!

[@WartimeStories]

I don't think I could have written the story to the level of firsthand experience that it was given to me with. Thanks Mike, good to know Robert isn't the only one getting creeped out by the darker reaches of the base. I've been all over Camp Pendleton, both day and night--another massive base here in CA. All desert, mostly. Can't say I've ever felt that creeped out. Must be the woods that makes Campbell that way, among other things.

The back 40 is 100% wilderness once you pass Live Fire Base

[@phillyphilhouse79]

@@JN1-506 I was stationed there twice in the the 2000s. One 4th of July we lit up the night sky while out there with a shit ton of firecrackers, Roman candles, bottle rockets and a few finales. We were out where we would always do land nav. In the cornfields somewhere. Never heard of these stories of Fort Campbell until now.

[@hhvictor2462]

Yes I did my share of sentry duty out in the cold lonely boonies while in the army. The tall trees always seemed to look down on me.

[@WartimeStories]

Always creepier at night.

[@michaeldejesus8650]

My Dad served here and I grew up in Clarksville TN. Spent a lot of time on base as a kid and teen and in the woods in the surrounding areas. Cant believe stuff like this was happening right up the road! So cool to see this base and area talked about on this channel!

[@xXJesuslovesyouXx]

Been here in Clarksville TN all 32 years of my life, the second you leave the city in any direction it's nothing but woods... That's where the dogmen and the Bigfoot live. Crazy isn't it...

[@elliottpaine9259]

Now that I finished this I can see in other comments why ppl want a part 2! Well done for the sound effects, narration and paintings! Part two please of “ the rest of what I saw” on Fort Campbell!

[@r.awilliams9815]

I was with the 2/17th Cav from 78-79, out in the old WW2 barracks near the heli field. If you knew your back roads, you could get onto Fort Campbell unofficially. I did, several times, after spending too much time at The Mustang Lounge and deciding it was best not to bother the gate guards, who might ask embarrassing questions. Lots of old bunkers and buildings, ranges and artillery impact zones all over the back country. Never saw anything creepier than a deer with blue tongue, though.

Wow! This tops even the best Bedtime Stories narrated by Rich and those are my favorite on KZbin!

[@WartimeStories]

Well if it's any consolation to him I would much prefer to listen to him than myself lol. BUt thank you, Jeff! Very big compliment. Rich is an absolute master of storytelling.
