@@ComradeCommissarYuri Pumas are not known to be wild outside North and South America... but man do they make for some "mysterious" deaths. The trick with Pumas is that their natural ranges is ALL of both continents. They know it and don't give a crap about what Humans think their current range should be. Oh and they tend to migrate a lot. They have a concept of territory, but it changes over time and tagged animals have been seen to fully relocate to a completely different area presumably looking for better hunting. "It can't be a Puma no one has seen on in this state for 20 years!" Until today..... Also their territorial nature means they recognize areas as "Human territory", but if they're hungry that just makes them sneakier. They KNOW people live there, and try to avoid being seen. Heck since they're cats they might hide from you by standing on the roof of your house.

@@replecon1408 there are many cases of war dogs tucking tail and cowering when there is something afoot for which conventional science and interpretation have no means to identify or base upon prior experience. There are pheromones and sounds which we dont sense or hear where a dog can and WILL become steadfast in their refusal to progress. I've seen them in the deep forests of northern idaho on the Canadian border do just that. It happens. So before you assert a universal "BS" stance, try to remember you may never experience further beyond the comfort of your vacation zones within the quadrants you're comfortable visiting throughout this world, but there are things that 99.99% of mankind will never see with their own eyes or on video that exist in this world in places where men just dont go and IF they do go, they remain for a brief moment in time and then do not return.

[@Geister7]

And I love all these military/police related spooky stories

[@genericpersonx333]

The true stories can be hair-raising too. I had a friend who worked as an MP in Berlin during the mid 1960s. He had the dubious job, being half-German and fluent in the language, of reclaiming American servicemen picked up by the German military police during the night. One morning, he is waiting in the transfer room when this terrified monster of an American soldier, easily 6'4'' and 250 pounds, breaks open the door, leaps across the table, wraps himself around my friend's legs and starts crying like a little baby, expressing between sobs how grateful he was to be in American hands ago. You see, the German military police had their own ideas about how to treat detainees. This big brave American was reduced to a crying child by just a few hours of such German military discipline. The German officer who came in to finalize the transfer was positively smiling with glee at the sight of the American, even saying "I expect we will have no more trouble with this man." Makes one appreciate the Bill of Rights all the more when you realize there was a time when our jailors were free to be cruel and unusual in their punishments.

[@pissfather6798]

Its definitely harder to discredit as just some random person potentially making them up for publicity, not saying the state doesnt lie but still

[@genericpersonx333]

@Metallus Zorax Very much so. The new Germany of the late 1960s considered it very important to be seen to use love, not force, to keep law and order because they didn't want to be accused of being Yahtzis still. So not long after my friend mustered out of Berlin, you had the 1972 Munich Olympics where one plan for security included a supply of candy to be handed out to any rioters that arose. This was the same Olympics where a group of Palestinians murdered a bunch of Israelis because there was no armed security around by order of the government. So if you ever wonder Germany is so weird politically these days, note that many of the young kids who demanded that the police hand out candy in the 1970s are now old people in top positions of government in Germany today.

[@genericpersonx333]

​@I'll taketh thy cheese by force Well, Bedtime Stories doesn't claim to deal only in the real. It is about good stories, some completely fictional memes from the Internet while others are older stories from communities that don't have a big internet presence. Most every big military community has its own set of ghost stories that the soldiers pass around between themselves, and BTS has had the good fortune to know a number of Cold War veterans who are willing to share these stories for us all to enjoy.

I also worked swings & mids (swing shifts and midnite shifts) on the flightline, Weapons Storage Area and Alert areas. I would have been involved in this operation, had it happened. There was a legend about an off-base munitions storage area named Morbach, where I worked quite a few night shifts, about a Monster Boar that roamed the woods and we would often hear loud noises and breaking tree limbs, but never saw any sign of the beast. I also spent nights outside of the fences during "alerts" as a counter-espionage unit and never ran into any large bipedal creatures.

Makes you wonder how the roman legions felt when the Germani tribes had the old gods, witches, magic, wolfmen and heavily Drugged half naked warriors wearing animal skins Screaming and charging down hill upon you at 6-12 feet tall with several Giant tribes when you and most of the Legionnaires are barely 5 feet tall.

As soon as they mentioned the shrine and the unlit candles I knew where this was going, lol. But my first thought was who the hell thinks having a shrine out in the woods in the middle of nowhere that HAS to have a candle lit all the time is a good idea?! I mean my dad used to have trouble lighting a cigarrete with a lighter outdoors in a breeze, how on earth would a candle stay alight?

[@Cujo2447]

Sooper Spooopy Majik! That's HOW! :-)

[@genericpersonx333]

I am with you: it is the weak point of the otherwise really good story to have this open-air shrine needing perpetually-lit candles. My first thought when I saw the shrine was "where is the caretaker?" If this shrine was so important, then surely it would have a caretaker that would be too afraid of the monster to be scared off by some rowdy airmen. I could see the story working if the airmen found the shrine and in their drunkenness defiled it, shoving aside the terrified caretaker as it tried to warn them of the dire consequences.

[@rufust.firefly2474]

Constant supervision? Who said it was open air?

[@genericpersonx333]

@@rufust.firefly2474 I am not seeing any walls or roof in the illustration starting at 2:35. Looks to me like a pile of rocks just off the road. I also would note that very few candles are made that can burn more than a few hours, so if you genuinely need to keep them lit so as to prevent monsters from terrorizing the people, you would not leave them alone for long.

A few years ago while i was in the Army one of my friends played a prank on some younger Soldiers. it was the weekend and they were on guard duty during a field training. because it was the weekend they had shifts to watch the radios etc while everyone else was home. well he decided to mess with them and rented a yeti costume. at 2am he drove out to the area, parked far enough away and snucked to the training area dressed as the yeti. while one of the guys was on a smoke break he snapped a heavy branch so the guy would look in his direction. as the guard did he stepped out of the woods, looked at the guy and then disappeared back into the woods. the guards called up on the radio to higher HQs and said..."you won't believe what we just saw.." the MPs got involved, they got drug tested etc. kind of felt bad for the guys, one stopped drinking red bulls because he thought it made him see things. overall we laughed, the yeti laughed, two poor guys were confucsed and scared. what you do when bored, at 2am, and want to mess with sleep deprieved people.

Never disturb nor mock a random shrine you discover in the middle of the woods. It just makes another mess for The SCP Foundation to clean up. Jokes aside: Really, never EVER disrespect an old shrine, It's just wrong.

When I was a kid I did that to a seita(a type of shire/totem) of a noaidi(sami shaman) and the local man who saw me take the 2 huge antlers from it said that he would not dare do that and warned me of a potential wrathful curse. Years later when I met the man again he asked how I was doing and hearing that my life had recently taken a huge positive turn, said that either the Noaidi was already dead when I took the antlers or that the shaman found my boldness amusing or inspiring and had chosen not to do anything negative(like a curse).

Never heard of this story before. Very interesting! Curious how this incident was just for the one night, but the full moon doesn't last that long and whoever kept the shrine may have relit the candles and kept them going before the next one, so it fits with the folklore. Looking forward to the next one on the Vietnam War incidents!
