Terrifying Supernatural Encounters in a Warzone

[@truthseeker2321]

I used to work with a Russian immigrant who was a former Soviet army officer, who was deployed to Afghanistan in 1983. When our forces were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, this former Soviet army officer told me " your soldiers are going to see strange shit." I asked him what kind of strange shit. He only looked at me and said that he didn't want me to think he was crazy, and he never said anything more about it.

There's the famous Soviet story about the Deuce truck. A duece truck with 20 young Soviet soldiers in the back is coming up so that they can be deployed. The truck hits a hidden tank mine and is obliterated. I have heard this story numerous times from Russian soldiers as well as Coalition partners, including our Aussie SAS. I have deliberately not provided many details about the Soviet deuce truck incident because some accounts make your blood run cold E.g. the obliterated Soviet soldiers walking around at the demon hour 3 - 4 30 AM asking for a medic

There are bad and good jins just like humans and there are muslim and non muslim jins too. Jins live like we do but Allah put a curtain in human eyes so that we can't see them and get scared. I experienced some bad stuff too but when you read Nas, Felak and Ayet Al-Kursi you are safe. Muslims don't see them often because mostly they are strong believers. I always hear jin stories from people who are non-weak believers (by believer I mean believing in Allah). Never had an encounter after reading Quran and realising jins mostly posses and bother those who are weak and those who will get easily scared because simply they don't believe.

[@Yaboychad]

Not gonna lie. I saw a weird shit in Kabul. I was a mandatory service member in Turkish Army. My biggest fun was the night vision googles that I used to borrow from sergeant major to play with since they don’t lend such equipment to temporary soldiers. One night I walk out wearing the thing and I saw guy with outdated helmet and AK. I googled as soon as I had access to a computer and found out it was the same exact uniform and helmet that Soviet solders wore. I never touched the NV again. The old Afghan cleaner guy told me that this was not unheard of, also told me on some places you can even hear them whisper or scream from time to time.

Oh wow 😳 was that your personal story? The way it was told and the pure thought of it was eerie. I've found military paranormal cases always seem to way severe than the more traditional in a abandoned mansion sort of scenario.

[@godwarrior3403]

I believe I have to warn you. As someone who used to mess with the occult, I have a little experience with the paranormal. When you repeatedly see things, it's not an accident. They're wanting you to see them. And imo, it means the devil is after you. Because obviously, by my name and pic, you can see I'm Christian. My experiences in the occult led to me being Christian, because our enemy, the devil, played his hand a little too hard and I began to suspect the stuff I was seeing wasn't what I had originally percieved it to be. I thought the things I saw were signs that I was on the path of truth, that I had found the true religion (new age religion, more like an amalgamation of all ancient beliefs.) The way you describe this thing as seemingly angelic fits with what the bible says about the devil, he presents himself as an angel of light. The subsequent face twisting, and coming at you after spotting fear, fit with my own experiences with demons. Fear is the opposite of faith. They've got more power over you in those moments when our faith slips. The dreams, and seeing the girl later, are not seperate events. I believe the devil is particularly interested in keeping you away from God, for whatever reason. Don't know if you played with stuff you shouldn't have, like I did, or some other thing. But either way, the Lord Jesus died for us, and He wants you with Him. He will give you protection from these things, and what's more, salvation of your eternal soul. Believe me, I'm well aware of how cliche all the things Christians say when preaching to others are. And how it goes in one ear and out the other. But I'm hoping as a man who's lived the reality of life and death, as well as seen the spiritual, you understand the gravity with which I'm speaking. I'm not a vet, but I too have faced real life and death, and seen the spiritual. I do not preach to you out of cope, out of blind following of some words in a book, or a prompting by some preacher, but as a dead serious man who has come to know the Lord, and has experienced spiritual evil, as you have. Please turn to Him. And do not let evil have the final say over your life. Even if you haven't seen or experienced anything since, evil doesn't just let go once it's targeted you. The bible says our adversary the devil roams like a roaring lion seeking who he may devour. That goes for all of us. How much more so for those of us who have been exposed to his evil forces blatantly. Most people don't even get the advantage of knowing for a fact that the spiritual exists. Please don't waste this advantage.

They don't seem to like bright lights very much, or maybe it's only some of them, I don't know how light it was when he mentioned the girl floating over the canal, only that it was during the day. The other one disappeared too when they shined a light on it though.

As a Muslim, we hold the belief in jinns (also known as djinns) as referenced in the Quran. Jinns possess the ability to perceive us while remaining unseen by us. Typically, they inhabit deserted structures, bodies of stagnant water, or the junctures where mountains meet the sea, such as cliffs. In regions afflicted by conflict, abandoned buildings are abundant, potentially offering ample habitat for these supernatural beings

As a taxi driver, I picked up a former Marine in Riverside, CA, and transported him to Anaheim, CA. On the way, he admitted that his life was a living hell because of his two tours of experiences in Iraq. This man further disclosed that he could not sleep normally, and that he would always awaken in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. I referred him to the VA to seek EMDR treatment for his PTSD, which he did. After three months or so, I was assigned to pick up the same man at his residence in Riverside. The former Marine had undergone EMDR treatment by this time and had made a miraculous recovery. He thanked me for the referral. That was a good day!

Hi❤ I came to Christ when I was 19. I ask God that if he was real to help me. I had an eating disorder that had gone for almost 3years. I knew something was pushing me to do this and I didn't have any control. I knew I would die. Years of walking with God I started learning little by little about spiritual things because of the things that were happening to me. What happened to you is not a mental illusion or psychosis and or hallucination. That was an evil spirit manifesting. There are spirits in the world and they are all evil except for One Spirit whom is the most beautiful and wonderful. And that is the Holy Spirit of God ❤😊 When people see family and or friends it's not because their actual soul is there but the familiar spirit that followed them their entire life. They know things about the person and so they manifest that. Test every spirit, if they confess Jesus is God in the Flesh than they are of God. If not they are of the enemy, Satan. God has a plan for your life and the devil didn't like that. The devil tries to antagonize you and others , getting to God and closer. I hope this of help ❤

[@Midnight24435]

​@ImYourBigDaddY. Military measures disability different than civilians do. Your "percentage" disability is based on how less are you able to hold and perform a civilian job. If you have a desk job as reference, then you can set that bar really freaking low. I came back from my deployment with 30% hearing loss in my right ear from blasts, much higher likelihood for cancer because of burn pits where I was deployed, shrapnel in both hands, moderate PTSD and moderate depression, and a permanently broken sleep cycle (which the best docs in Bethesda Maryland - same hospital the president uses - said likely cannot ever be fixed) - my "percentage" disability is 0% because all of those do not prevent me from holding a civilian job in the military's eyes. I might be a bit hard of hearing, have my own issues to work through, shrapnel doesn't require surgery cause it's too invasive, I'll be perptually tired because of the permanent sleep issues... but the military believes that doesn't stop me from holding a job, so 0% it is. But 0% is still a number versus being "unrated". So even at 0%, I'm still offered extended treatment from the VA. I have to randomly pay for medications and appointments since the VA can't figure out what it wants to charge for and what not to, and nobody at the VA knows how long my coverage is supposed to last despite deploying to a combat zone. Typically, they say "5 years" after separation from active duty if you deployed to a combat zone. I separated in 2016, still seeing the VA regularly. But yeah, I agree with your original statement, veterans are basically an after-thought to the military.

I have a friend who was in Mogadishu, Somalia during black Hawk Down in 1993. He said during that battle he was separated from his family and he was trying to get out of the city at 5AM. He said he was walking in the empty market and a young lady not older than 20 with an unmatched beauty was crying and he asked if she was ok. The lady said no and he stopped asking what was wrong and she pointed out she was wounded by a human and her father was out for revenge. He asked her where she was wounded and she showed him her right leg. He said he saw no wound but her leg was hoofed like a donkey or horse. He said her legs were like an animal with fur and all. He said he panicked and ran away to a guy that was standing at a corner facing away about 200 meters. He said, he addressed the guy as “hey man she is hoofed she is hoofed”, then the guy turned around and he had yellow glowing eyes and said to him go away “she is our daughter and we are not happy that she is wounded”. My friend said, he was frozen with fear in shock by the events that had taken place back to back. He said while he was still standing in the same place, the glowing eyes man started to walk away from him and his feet was making the sound of a horse on the pavement when he was walking. He said he looked at his feet and surely he was hoofed as well. Jinns are real and they do exist. That why we see occasional wild hyenas eating something that we can’t see and they have bloodied mouths acting violently. It’s said hyenas can see the jinns and jinns can’t see the hyenas. Just like we can’t see the jinns and jinns can see us humans. Also, it’s been said jinns can take in the forms of man or an animal.

why cant hyenas see djinn? and why would hyenas eat djinn? dont worry, im genuinely asking, this is all new to me

[@SPharaoh]

@@radiofreak66 Islam teaches far more in depth than any other religion or any other educational institutions out there on Jinns and the super naturals. From my limited research, I have learned that Jinns are created from fire as we human are created from earth/clay. Just like angels are created from light. Angels exist and yet we can not see them and they angels can see us and they can go places in the blink of an eye just like the Jinns. In the same concept, we can’t see Jinns either. We know speed of light. Is there a speed of fire? Do they travel so fast because of what they’re created from? I do not know. Just asking. Jinns were created before mankind. The Jinns existed millions of years before mankind. When Adam was created, he laid out on earth perhaps 300 years or so and Jinns and Satan we jealous of him. They used to travel in his body according to Islam. As to the precise explanation why a hyena can see them and they can’t see the hyena, that is beyond my education and what I’ve learned. Perhaps you may travel and start documenting human being who live in hyenas habitats and if they have ever witnessed or heard wild hyenas eating unseen creatures. Have you ever seen Nigerian guys with huge hyenas on chains? They do perform exorcism using the hyenas to chase demons who possess people. Demons are part of the Jinns. Jinns do possess different powers and they surely have hierarchy. Just my 2 cents.

had something similar back in the early nineties in strangeways jail awaiting sentence. it was after the riots and as it's thirty years now since i last got arrested memory may not serve but if it does then h wing was the hospital wing pre riot and a general population wing afterwards, it also used to be the hanging wing and i was in the old condemned cell where it happened. those cells are a few feet wider than an ordinary cell. being after the riot we now had toilets and a sink in the cells which was sited at the end of the bunk beds with a piece of plywood attached to the bunk for a stab at privacy. the toilet and sink units are one piece stainless steel and the taps are of the push down variety. so i was on the top bunk having got there first and a lad called Chris was in the bottom bunk. we were both layed out on our bunks reading when the tap started running, sounding stuck i said to Chris "turn the tap of after yourself can You?" thinking i just had not seen him getting off his bunk to use the sink. he claimed not to have moved but i didn't believe him so getting down from my bunk and going to stop the tap i told him "don't be playing games with me will You?" and stopped the tap before returning to my bunk. the tap started running again but i had kept an eye on him and so i knew it wasn't him. he thought it was me the first time and kept an eye on the underside of my mattress so he also knew it was neither of us. so i get down to the tap again and this time i make certain the tap has returned to its uppermost position including the quarter inch play on it which would tell i if the tap had been physically moved by hand. telling Chris what i had done i returned to my book. the tap started running again only this time i could see the tap had not moved. i mentioned it to Chris before returning once again to my book. the tap ran again with the same results. Chris said "it must be a ghost" and i got the impression that worried him to which i replied "don't worry it can't be a malevolent Spirit or we would know". after i said that it didn't happen again, seemed like the ghost had just wanted a little recognition i figure probably an innocent man once executed there.

Angels of Mons during the First World War with dead British archers both fighting the Germans both sides saw it. Something like werewolves or maybe just plain wolves who attack men in the trenches on both sides.

I have never been a soldier or seen warfare in person but I love your channel. My grandfather, who was Chinese, was taken prisoner by the Japanese when they invaded Singapore. He was a young boy on his way to school when they appeared out of the jungle. He was used as slave labour and helped build the Burma road which ran through the jungle. He told me about the tigers that would come to their open huts when they were sleeping and drag people off. The Japanese only gave pots to bang to scare them away which didn't usually work. He told me that one time he woke up and a huge tiger was dragging off the man that had been sleeping next to him. He had his head in his mouth. Of course they tried to scare the tiger away but by the time he let go of the man, the man was dead. Another thing that you might find interesting is that he was one of the people that built the bridge on the River Kwai. He said that the bridge was actually destroyed more than once and that he remembers having to pick up the body parts of the Japanese soldiers that had been on the train when the British dropped the bombs on it. Regarding the jinn (or djinn), they are mentioned in the Quran and Muslims believe they exist 100%. From what I've understood, they are a race that seem to live in another dimension (perhaps) and live alongside us. They can see us and interact with us, and sometimes we can see them. What I've learned from Muslims is that they can be malicious if you offend them in any way.

[@juanitak6171]

I never served jn the military but heres my story of my experience with a being. I work as a pest control technician in boston and this takes place in beacon hill (one of the oldest parts of the city and the house i was working in was well over 100 years old) walked into the front hallway and immediately felt uneasy, but i chalked it up to being nervous about doing this job. I spoke with the tenants of the building first before i headed down to the basement. As i walked down the stairs to the basememt i realized that the basement was 40 inches tall from the floor to the ceiling with an entra 2 feet drop where the boiler was situated. As usual i made my rounds of the basement and checked everything i needed when i thought i heard the door to the upstairs close. Now i thought at the time it was a tenant going into their aprartment. As im making my way back toward the stairs i hear footsteps coming down them. Once again i thought it was just a tenant, but as i turned the corner there was nobody there. Now a little creeped out and happy i was finishing up i felt the same sense of unease wash over me. I was getting ready to leave the basement when I realized i didnt have my equipment bag, just my headlamp. I turned to grab it and there it was, a solid black mass hovering about 20 inches off of the ground. I grabbed my bag and ran out of there, slamming the basement door shut. When i got back to the truck I sat there for what felt like hours trying to process what i saw, its been 2 months and i still refuse to service that house

I had a few buddies that went to 29 Palms for pre deployment training. The Marine Corps brought back a bunch of things from Iraq and Afghanistan to make it feel more authentic. There were things that came back attach to that stuff and they had some stories of weird things happening while they were there. One buddy was a SAW gunner and he set his weapon down next to him for 30 seconds to get something out of his pack. When he went to pick it up it was gone, losing your weapon is a huge deal so he thought one of the guys on his squad somehow took it to mess with him. He called them out and told them to give it back to him, and they all stared back at him like he was crazy. The Senior Lance in charge of his Fire Team started to think he was the one messing with them as they had all seen it sitting next to him and no one else had approached them. They started to freak out a little and started looking for where it could have gone. After a few mins of searching the started to panic, knowing how much shit they would be in for losing a SAW. One of their NCO's I think he said it was a Sergeant came to check up on them as they looked like they lost something and he noticed the missing SAW. They thought they were about to get reamed out, instead their Sergeant asked them if they set a the weapon down and it went missing and where it happened. Out of surprise he answered yes and pointed to the area they were sitting. It was right outside of one of the houses built to look like a typical Iraqi house that was filled with things they brought back from Iraq. The Sergeant told them to follow him inside and go in the small cellar, when they did it the missing SAW was sitting on a box. My buddy told me his brain just went completely blank for a few seconds and then they damn near fell over each other trying to get out of that cellar. Their Sergeant did not seem surprised it was there and they asked him how he managed to get the SAW without seeing him. He chuckled a little and told them that he didn't. This was his 3rd time being out here and every time a weapon would go missing when Marines went near this house, but they would always be found in the cellar. By now the staff and Marines that had been there before knew about this and would make sure that any missing weapons were found before a report went up the chain and careers were ruined. They had a few other stories but, I can't remember most of the details right now. There was another story with a laughing little girl that also liked to take gear and hide it or mess with Marines, but at some point they figured out what she was attached to and replaced it and she went away. The other story I have heard from several Marines so I think it might be an urban legend kind of thing. A lone vehicle in the 29 Palms training area will get approached by a Marine on foot seemingly out of nowhere, none of the Marines would see him approach and its usually in an area that was miles from anywhere. His name is Sgt. Smith or Williams I have heard a few different names, and he was friendly but something always seemed off about him. When the Marines would report finding him to Range Control as per protocol, they would respond by yelling at them to leave the area immediate and under no circumstances allow him to leave with them. Since I have never heard a reason or explanation or given as to why they had to leave, this also makes me think it falls into urban legend territory.

[@haleygerdes5248]

Range control at 29 palms was callsign "Bearmat" I still remember. Why, I dont know. Pendleton was "Longrifle". Anyway the training areas at the palms are fast and rugged and hauntingly beautiful. Around 87 or 88 an infantry unit from LeJeune left a young marine in the training area along a trail to guide vehicles as the left the training area. That was the story anyway. He died of exposure and heat exhaustion in just a day or two and half his chain of command was court martialed back at LeJeune. I still remember it. Years later I would be stationed there a well and it was a huge deal to emphasize safety and accountability etc. The live fire exercises are dangerous enough. Anyway the poor kid wandered a time through the desert hoping he'd find base and left a trail of gear as it grew too heavy and ultimately his empty canteens and rifle. His remains were found nearby. Horrible event

[@Knights_Oath]

@@haleygerdes5248 I remember being told about that incident, he was ordered to wait until someone came to get him. Somehow they forgot about him and that is why that happened.

The second was a cigarette that was gone in the morning from where I left it the night before and reappeared within 2 seconds of me turning my head away, like 10 hour a later in the day.

The first story in the “demonic children” bit of this episode reminds me of a story you told previously where, I think also in the Middle East, there was a group of sheep or something. The guy who originally sent the story talked about how, without his night vision goggles, it was just the sheep, however when he put the goggles on, he could see a little kid/young shepherd leading the sheep down a dirt path. Difference is the kid in that story didn’t acknowledge the men who watched from a distance and didn’t have the aura described in this episode which I find really interesting!

[@OneOfAKind-jy3hv]

I have two stories to add to your compilation, but these are from the Vietnam War. I, myself, am a Vietnam Veteran. The first story was from a buddy of mine who was on his second tour. Not sure where or when it took place, but his infantry company was doing a daytime sweep through a heavy jungle area. They were moving down a trail (which you don't do regularly because of ambushes and booby-traps). Anyway, they come to a bend in the trail and started moving around it. They then saw a guy dressed as a black pajama VC (Vietcong) standing in the middle of the trail...maybe about 100 feet from them, just standing there...waiting. Naturally his entire squad drops down and takes defensive positions thinking it was an ambush...a preclude to a fire-fight. So the squad leader is calling out to this guy and trying to wave him in...and he's still standing there not moving. Suddenly, a heavy tiger trap drops down from the trees and goes right though this guy...who is still standing there. After a moment, both him and the trap disappear! Now everyone saw this! After a few minutes of deliberation...and getting permision, it was decided to move around the trail, which they did with no further incidences or any contact with the enemy. Second story involves my brother during the time of the Tet Offensive of 1968. By brother was Air Force security policeman at Tan Son Nhut Air Force Base who was used as light infantry in guarding the base and patrolling the outer perimeter area around it. As a matter fact, his unit repelled the direct assault upon the base by a unit of VC numbering somewhere between 3,000 to 5,000. According to him, there was a Vietnamese cemetery next to the base. One night during guard-duty, him and a few other of the guards saw figures in translucent white moving through the cemetery. Him and the other guards called in by field-phone, requesting permission to open fire, thinking it was some sort of VC trick. They were told a "A Negative" by the sergeant-of-the-guard, who came up immediately to observe what they were seeing. Again he reaffirmed not to open fire. After a few minutes the figures disappeared. In the morning, the sergeant told the entire night's guard force that those figures appear all the time, and not to shoot at them.

this story isn’t about me but it’s about my uncle (god rest his soul). He in the egyptian military and was deployed to an outpost in Sinai during the six day war. whenever he’d go on a night patrol. He’d always say he’d see these dark figures kind of floating whenever he’d wear his NVG’s. he’d say he would feel things like a cold hand trying to touch his face and his lips that obviously weren’t his, and whenever he’d turn around to look who was fooling with him nobody was there.he’d also get small stones and rocks thrown at him along with hearing faint whispers. it wasn’t just him that dealt with that tho. his other friends in his squad would encounter the same kind of behaviour during night time and what not, obviously they’d keep what happened to them to themselves and what not because as i’m sure you already know the military will most likely overlook such behaviour as you being crazy and what not. he was a pretty religious man, a devout muslim. so obviously he believed in the supernatural such as djinn, he only ever talked about it once with me back when i was younger.

They were on the hood of their vehicle chillin and hearing the booms miles up the road. They kept seeing shapes in the dark way out but thought they were trees. They ignored it thinking they were hallucinating from nearly 2 days of no sleep. Then when they realized the shapes were moving towards them, they started freaking out.

I remember my dad telling me a story of when he was in the Army and on exercise in Germany. My dad was part of a scouting unit and during a wargame his objective was to obviously scout for enemy positions and report back. the vehicle he was in was sitting on a slightly elevated position overlooking a field behind a treeline, in order to spot any enemy movement. It was night and the vehicle he was in didn't have any sort of night vision or anything, since it was the early 80s and they couldn't use their lights either because that would obviously alert the enemy, so they had to rely on the natural light in order to see. they sat in that position for about two hours untill the commander of the vehicle suddenly said: "Attention hostile spotted at 3 o'clock. So my dad, being the gunner for the 25mm gun looked through the periscope, only to see a single person, standing in the field, with what looked to be a large coat. The first thing my dad thought was that it was weird for a soldier in a wargame to be out alone, and as far as my dad knew no one in any of the participating militaries was issued any long coats. The commander was as confused as my dad. "Why is he just standing there?" The commander asked. "Maybe he's lost?" The driver said. My dad's curiosity got the better of him and he opened the hatch and stuck his head out to look. "Hey, are you lost?" he first asked in Dutch, after no reply he asked again but in English. "Hey! Are you lost?" still no response. He asked one final time in German. The figure continued to just stand there for a couple seconds. Then it turned arround, and started walking away from the vehicle. My dad looked at the commander who was now also sticking his head out of the vehicle. "What the hell is he doing?" The commander asked my dad. As my dad and the commander looked back towards the man he was now gone, they asked the driver if he saw where he went and he said that the man just, dissapeared. Into thin air, nowhere to be seen. My dad, the commander and the driver agreed not to talk about the incident. But my dad thought about it, and tried to reason it, but he couldn't. When he told me the story I imeaditly thought he saw a ghost, like a dead soldier from the war who was still lingering the earth, years after the war had ended.

That is probably why this entity said it couldn't carry your grandfather. However, due to their vantage point they were able to see the helicopter arrival and thus inform him of what to do to save himself.

My friend who was a marine served in Iraq in 06/07. He was mostly stationed at a FOB near the border of Afghanistan in the mountains. He told me often they would be on guard duty at night and while scanning with night vision and thermal optics, they would regularly see people walking around in the trees maybe 300 yards from their post. But they would only see them for a few seconds then they would seemingly disappear between trees or behind rocks. On several occasions a patrol was sent out to check things out, see if people were setting up some kind of IED, etc. but each time they found nothing and no one. It kept everyone at the FOB on edge because they knew there were fighters in the mountains, but having that constant threat stacked with seeing vanishing figures around them, made his 9 month deployment seem like years. In one instance, one marine opened up on one of the figures with the m240. His spotter said his first burst directly hit the figure center mass atleast 5 times. As soon as it happened a team was sent to check it out. There was nothing and no one. The Middle East has seen the absolute worst of warfare and savagery

In Islamic lore, djinn are beings created other than humans and angels. Devil or Syaithan/Satan is not a separate entity, rather, they're evil djinns.. Djinns, like humans, have their own civilization living in kind of overlapping dimension to humans. Therefore, Ghost is just some djinns doing pranks since they can possess humans and shapeshifting. One interesting thing is, every human has their own djinn called "Qorin". It is basically Djinn version of yourself. When poeple die, they go to Death realms and cannot haunt the livings, thus, what we see as ghost of dead person is their "Qorin" roaming around since, unlike humans, they have long life span

In the hospitals on nightshift if weird things happen, usually in empty rooms, I go in and say something like "its night time go to sleep" and walk away. Dont give it too much of your energy. 😬 Some more senior nurses taught me this years ago and it usually works.

[@notreshan]

Middle east, and many places have seen death for centuries. Everywhere we live was roamed by someone whom we never know about many moons ago. Their lives, what they loved and lost, and the memories revolved around a place or a thing that we now encounter everyday. Some spirits still attached to something. I have heard examples of motorbikes being sold after the death of the driver, and the new driver feeling that there is always someone in the back seat. Have heard this in many occasions completely unliked stories. Years of war, I am sure, there are many spirits and many other entities are trapped in these lands. Yes we have technology, and most of the modernized places have lights, telecommunications and everything a person to live safely or somewhat safely, but that doesn't mean some things that attached, left those lands. Sad, scary, worrying, but always a pleasure to watch these videos. Remember, not to take any negative energy to yourself after watching videos about death and paranormal.

Luke, you have no idea how much we appreciate your channel! I personally get proper excited when I see a new upload from you. And that’s saying a lot cause not much excites me in this world anymore. The other night I had something utterly fascinating happen, I’m 35 now and I’ve had a few interesting things happen in my lifetime but not for a long time now. Anyway. It was late at night and I was getting ready to go to sleep - laying in a pitch black room. An orb I guess you could say, a bright blue ball of light appeared in the room and then traveled toward the door and then straight through it. I was wide awake, I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself. I’ve never seen anything like that before. Initially I felt scared but then I found myself really curious. I didn’t get up and follow it, I just laid there in awe and wonder.

I've heard about Djinn stories during the wars from vets on 4Chan. I know it's a weird place to get stories from but the amount of correlations and similar stories especially from locals in those areas was outstanding. The most terrifying stories were when they got attacked and members of their squads died from these things that they're forced into silenced. Aside from that I appreciate the fact you guys put effort and time to make things high quality rather then just a rushed mess.

The ending of the Ifrit story reminded me of just how much it seems to mess with some people's heads when you state the unknown or paranormal so matter-of-factly. There have been many times where friends and colleagues have come to me about matters of the otherworldly and when they describe what's going on I can usually tell who or what it is causing the disturbance just by having dealt with it before. It's a small area, only so many places that spirits can go when you think of it logically, but they're flabbergasted every time. Either way very good video, I've started watching this channel recently and I'm really enjoying it.

in 09 my platoon was based out of FOB Four Corners, about 20 min east of central Baghdad for about 3 months...I volunteered one time to go w another platoon for a mid-day patrol to an AO north east of there I believe it was Nahrawan(?) a brick factory and a tannery were in same region. All 3 of these locations had the worst vibes I encountered from the dozen or so locations my platoon would operate out of Taji, Jizr Diyala etc etc. I only spent about 20 min on the ground at the tannery, I knew nothing about it beforehand...it almost gave me a panic attack how tangible the def-not-rightness that place emininated was, it was like it was humming w badness. We left and I never went there again....later an Lt would tell me about a lot of Iraq style mob dirtiness/killings going on in that AO in years past.....then, I think it was at Buering, about 8 months later on our way out of theater, I was talking to an 11B who didn't think talking to a 13B was beneath him and he had been to the tannery as well, our conversation was cut short but his eyes lit up when I asked him if he got bad vibes from that place. He only had time to basically say (paraphrasing)..."if you had to spend any real amount of time at that place you'd know undeniably there is a metric shit ton of things far worse than bad vibes there"...I share this not as a/my story but hoping that someone who had experiences there will see this and share them w the channel....love these types of episodes and love this channels production values/perspectives....SALUTE!!!!!!

As someone who is the head of a paranormal team, this fascinates me. Hearing people tell their encounters from Iraq and Afghanistan have always intrigued me because nobody discusses the paranormal in association with those two locales, always about the wars themselves. Given the traumatic events in these two countries, they have to be some of the most haunted places under God's hot sun.

[@angieholguin244]

I 100% BELIEVE them. I had 2 friends in Iraq as well and they both had crazy and scary stories. One of them even had an actual photo and caught it on video. They were on a "sweep shift" in the village going inside each building to evacuate because hours before the village was a hot spot even killing some. He had seen a kid maybe around 10-years-old run past him into a home and paid no attention to my friend who was yelling at the kid saying it's not safe and then he heard the kid scream, and so they ran to help the kid, but he wasn't there and while they were freaking out, they heard a woman scream from inside the home but she wasn't there. He said they were in complete shock and felt like they couldn't move just frozen. Then they all felt a huge emotional sadness just came over on them and he said the only way to described what they all felt was as if they lost their own children. This situation is literally the definition and a perfect example of what and how PTST is and does. To this day my friend carries a huge guilt of what all the women and children went through and all the numerous deaths around them especially the woman and children.

I’m not in the military, hell I Airsoft. But my uncle was a marine, he was in the Second Battalion Fifth Marines, and he claims he seen some paranormal things while in his time, he barley talks about any of these stories but when he does he’s usually very serious about the story. One he told me and my cousins was while he was deployed to the marine base in Hawaii (where our families from, and I can’t remember the name of the base, sorry) He was in a training exercise during the 90’s with his squad, and when he was doing firewatch with a pal of his in his squad, and he said that while there he heard the distinct sound of wardrums. Now our family is superstitious believers with our culture and one of these beliefs are a legend called the Night Marchers, ghosts of soldiers of Hawaiian descent who are said to kill those who travel at night, the reason being that that is against the rules or as we call it Kapu. However they are said to not go after Royalty, which is what I believed saved my uncles life, because our family is descendent from King Kaumualii, the once ruler of Kauai. Now back to the story, he and his friend heard these drums and, having been island natives, were automatically terrified and they soon heard the drums getting closer so they put their heads to the ground, which is what the legends say to do, and they feel the marchers presence with them, as the drums stop. They don’t say anything and neither do the marchers if they were truly there, until on, who is supposedly the leader of the party states clear as day in relatively well English, “Leave”. While i myself don’t get scared easy that one word was terrifying to hear, even though I wasn’t there. The drums then continue and as they get more distant, they eventually fade from hearing. My uncle and his pal then reach their heads back up and decide, “Screw this I’m not telling the Sarge” They then, knowing they can’t just ditch their post, continue with the night, albeit a lot more terrified, where their later relived by 2 other dudes who they tell the story to. The two others also being island natives almost automatically believe them, and they all decide to keep it quiet. And then, nothing happens, for the whole op. Just, nothing. Which confused the hell outta me. Now that’s my story, sorry if it’s not well written I’m still in school and I’m never been a good writer. I know some aren’t going to believe it but, as long as some do I’m alright with that. If anyone’s interested in my uncles other story’s just lemme know and I’ll try my best to share them. I know only few people are going to see this but, for my that’s fine, as long as I get to tell someone. (Btw sorry about it being so long, didn’t know where else to put it or to share it) Edit-had to edit this a couple times to add some details, so yeah.
