The Seven Towers of Satan: Iraq's Lovecraftian Horror

#mysteriousmiddleeast #mesopotamia #hauntedstories #ancienthistory #orientalism
Is Iraq and the rest of the Mesopotamian region haunted? If so, then by what? And how is it connected to one of the country's oldest Kurdish communities? In the early 1900s, the french Sufi philosopher Abdul Wahid Yahya, believed that he discovered a metaphysical secret that governed the entire planet and the lives of everyone on it. Known as the Towers of Satan, could this theory explain why this part of the Middle East is paranormal?

The creature mentioned at the beginning is called طنطل "Tantal" which loosely translates to "the tall one" in Iraq It's believed to be a kind of Jinn creatures It's a creature in its original form may reach a hundred meters in height with thin limbs (much like slender man) but it can take other forms like animal form (mostly black goat or cat) and an in between form of a human with goat legs Most Iraqis know the unending stories of Tantal from their grandparents Creepy stories that is

It can be a desert wasteland or a tropical paradise along the Euphrates or at least back then . Now the Euphrates is drying up. I served with a dude that was at the Al Haditha dam and he said it was crazy as hell. He said that he seen Iraqis commit suicide because they were scared to death to go down into the holding cells . They would say the jinn would torment them and drive them mad day and night. He said at night you would hear crazy screams and a weird language that would seem to come from the bottom of the damn. All the death that has happened in that country along with Iraq being the oldest settlement on Earth. The truth is stranger that fiction for sure !!

I knew this guy who was in Iraq. He was in the military, and one day he was in a helicopter going some where. The were in the middle of no where and they seen this guy down on the ground. This location was miles from anywhere, and to see some alone was odd. To be traveling on foot, a person would die before they could get to water. The flew down closer to get a look. The man was in traditional clothing, which was rare. He seemed to be moving quickly. What was odd, was he kept moving and didn't stop to look at the helicopter a few hundred feet away. Secondly, the man's legs were bent backwards, and seemed to jecking around quickly like something was wrong. Some said, "The heat near the ground distorts the light. That's what it must have been." The guy said, "No. We were only a few hundred feet away. We were blow dust past him and we could see the ground at his feet. That was all normal." The third odd thing was, this man on the ground and he seemed to be walking (strangely) but he wasn't going anywhere. He was fixed at that point. They were discusing what to do, and the guy never traveled an inch. One guy said land, I want to check this out. The guy flying said, "F that. We are leaving, and pretending we didn't see anything.."

I was in Iraq during the invasion, USMC infantry, all I saw was war. Violence, tragedy that ranged from sadness and despair to being beyond tired becoming mindless. People moving about without cause or purpose but only for self preservation. It was a literal "same shit different place" environment for weeks. It was joked/laughed at the idea we were the product of a horseman burning and destroying everything in our wake unknowingly doing so. I saw people of various faiths praying much more often and harder than usual. I saw a lot of evil, I saw a lot of good but it was only of human natures on all sides. We smashed through Nasiriyah, at that point we were part of task force tarawa, I encourage the ignorant to look this up. The nas was biblical which I knew nothing of before the war but that changed during. The nas is a place believed to exist upon the gardens of eden itself. Where the tigris and euphrates meet. To me, it was a major stronghold of where the fedayeen soldiers were posted and had every single intention of stopping us there. It was bloody and terrible for living person there. It started making me aware of the fact I, even in the unfortunate circumstances of why I was there, that I was walking upon the cradle of life itself. Later on after things settled and the war was officially over and we were moving towards the occupation side of things, we got sent to protect ancient historical sites and preservation of these types of things. I was sent to Babylon, and I felt both excited, terrified, burdens but free. Wind would blow in random spots but nowhere else around this place. At night our naked eyes would see very odd things I cant describe but nothing was there through night vision or in other cases be opposite of that. I had disposable cameras and took a lot of footage of there, none of the unexplained sights appeared in them. All I have is a terrible reminder of the awful things the human race does to one another buried beneath my bed. I woke up very early this morning for an unexplained reason, I made coffee and was intending on watching some wood working videos and this hit my feed first. These things happen for a reason. No matter your faith ladies and gents, get right with yourselves, we don't know for sure what is after.

[@thethree60five]

A man that serves his country by his heart is a good man, regardless of the function of those that order him. Pay no heed to those that would not for theirs, yet judge those that do. I believe that when a soul lives in a place, the past of that life is still there. This can actually be considered in quantum physics with the quantum field, as time had occurred where life has passed, it is still there, as the past, now and the future are as one in all places. To find a spirit, one nee only go where it was, a piece of it in time is still there. Places like the Middle East have seen so many lives pass through them. Imagine a whole life like a string laying across the land time and time again, more lives crossing as layers of string criss cross as they came and went annow have gone, but they remain. You may have just been feeling some of the souls whole in a heightened sense of protecting your own by the accute awareness of life and death around you. This, I feel also explains the feeling of being in nature where no man has been before, there are no 'strings of life to cross, only the pure souls of the animals that lived in harmony with the earth. So a feeling of oneness comes from their lives to ours as we cross their time past with our travels in that space. Living on land as I do with no humans save very few that cut some trees, and having lived in cities, farms, countries far and wide, I too feel the lives that were. From the Parthanon to the Tokyo and around, it is a the same my friend. Our lived souls polute this earth too. I am happy to be alone as I walk. I walked for an couple hours today... nothing but trees and signs of life having passed my way. Pausing to talk to the trees, the mushrooms, and the future, I am here to protect them, so when those walk across my land in the future, they will feel a good spirit. Of love for all, now, and the then to come. If I may suggest to you brother. Find a forest. Feel the calm of lives not torn by time and human purpose. You will be alone and find you again, without the strings of lives tangled around you. All the best. Be well.

My mothers uncle once told me a story from his youth. This was back when some villages in our country (Turkey) didnt have public lighting posts to light the roads during night time. He said on a windy, moonlit night he was going to his home at the village, coming up from the city where he worked. Halfway through the journey he encountered a djinn. He said the creature was standing at the top of a tree and wawing his hands towards him, as if it was calling him to its side. My mothers uncle was afraid to go forward, he thought about running back to the city, because in order to reach home he had to pass by the tree the djinn was standing on. But he said , he also thought that if he ran the djinn would surely catch him. At that moment he gathered his courage and moved towards the tree and upon closer inspection realized that it was just a bag that somehow got stuck on the tree. It was wawing with the wind and the moonlight was giving it its eerie appearance. The old man said this to me "You know boy, if i were to run away that day, i would still be telling people about my encounter with an actual djinn". While i do belive that there are still mysteries within our world, i also think most of the stories about supernatural things are caused by misunderstandings like the story above.

I am from a post soviet republic in central Asia n its interesting that soviet veterans of afghan war tell stories about supernatural stuff that happened to them in Afghanistan. They saw giants who attacked them, they saw very tall n slender, shadowlike people with high turbans n very long swords attacking them, killing them n these creatures appeared out of nowhere n dissolved in the air as well, also there were sufis ( saints) who put some sand in their palms n blew that sand towards soviet soldiers saying prayers n after that those soldiers flesh started rotting. Also many veterans after returning home claimed that some ghosts or spirits from Afghanistan haunted them back home n went crazy or committed suicides. Why its interesting is cause american veterans of afghan n iraqi wars tell the same stories. People from different cultures, from different time periods tell the same creepy stories. I have a friend from Britain. His brother was in Afghanistan twice in 2005-2008 n he told me a lot of supernatural stories. He converted to islam ultimately, he says that his whole worldview collapsed after his deployments. He told that one day his team or squad i dont know exactly were patrolling the mountains n he started hearing some enchanting rhymes in his head, they were v beautiful n pacifying but when he asked his fellows if they heard anything they said no. It was in his head n he told this to an afghani soldier who cooperated with them n he memorised some words from that rhyme n he was really shocked when afghani said that those were verses from Quran.

I was an EOD Sergeant on several of these ops...I was not a shooter, I was the tech guy to disarm booby traps. We ran into two giants, and yes I pissed my pant's when he attacked us. Look I am not a coward, but that thing was massive, it stunk like rotting flesh, and it attacked like it was life or death. We killed it, it was massive, it had six fingers, I never saw its feet, and it had weird stringy, very odd hair, depending on the sun light...NO I do not want to talk about this as it is humiliatingly for me as a man, and yes it scared me so much that I pissed my pants...

[@billcore6295]

I remember my first tour in Iraq near Talafar Iraq 🇮🇶 on a remote air base, our TOC was located in an Old fortified series of bunkers with quad stacked concertina wire encompassing the entire compound with a guard post being the only access point to inside of the compound ......one night 🌙 about midnight I was walking out of the ALOCs bunker and saw an extremely large white 🐺 wolf looking at me from the center ceremonial (formation area) area of the compound. The wolf is easily the largest canine I have ever seen, atleast 200 lbs.... it was about 20 meters from me when I saw it ....but instead of running, it just watched me as I slowly walked to the main TOC bunker... I wasn't scared but in awe of how impressive the wolf was..I was armed at the time with my M4......it was later that I realized that it would be impossible for it to get in the compound with the guard post being guarded 24/7 .... I still don't know how that wolf 😕 was in such a secure location but it was

There are some creepy stories from Vietnam where the original night vision was supposedly with a red lense (red is often used in low light tactical settings because it's short wavelength means it won't carry as far, but I digress) and supposedly helicopter door gunners were shooting at essentially demonic gargoyles pacing the chopper with guys freaking tf out. They shortly stopped using those according to the stories I read.

[@TheoWilliams-BT]

I appreciate your work Mysterious Middle East. I am a Chrstian pastor in Wisconsin, US. Your presentations are thought provoking and interresting. In connection to what you shared in this presentqtion, I also hold to a supernatural world view (Genesis 6:2-4, Deuteronomy 32:8-9, Psalm 82:1-8, 1 Kings 22:19-22, Daniel 4:17, Job 15:15, to list some of the relevant texts). From the Scriptures, I see evidence that very powerful supernatural beings (hebrew bene 'ha’elohim' means “sons of God”), who formed the council of holy ones (Psalm 89:7), were set over spesific teritories, but rebeled. These powerful entities (ploral of elohim, at times translated 'gods') are very differnt than the One True Creator God. They held power over nations until the Messiah came and took all their authority, power, and dominion. Yet, these adversarial supernatural entities maintain their reign over areas until they are apposed in the One Name by which all are saved. These entities are different than demons/djinns, in that they have no 'unclean mix' origins (spirit of the Rephaim). I know this might be very different that your own understanding but I thought I'd share. Thank you for your posts.

I don’t understand why y’all don’t see that if it weren’t for God none of this would have happened. Even in here in your writings. Until God does something. He was always the one in “charge”. As satan can never do anything without the approval of God. So y’all are just playing along with what God wants. I tend to want to be by-myself to live my life without someone or something telling me how I should unless I am actively hurting something or preparing for its destruction later down the road. Then I would understand. Natural consequences. nothing is natural about something forcing you to be somewhere.

[@lonewulv13]

One of the best yet. No word of a lie I believe I encountered one of these creatures in a dream recently... It was sudden. I found myself standing on a dirt road near a wooded area at night. it actually appeared to be somewhere in the middle east and not a western setting like where I am from. This dark humanoid being wearing a grey hoodie with very long limbs stood there like a deer in head lights as it was crossing the road. It stared at me in what appeared to be shock then proceeded to run from me. Incredibly long strides and bounds. For some reason I felt compelled to chase it. The dream quickly changed or I woke up. It was very strange even for my typically unusual dreams...

I opened my eyes from a dream the other night to a huge giant of a man in a full black trench coat and a hat on his head. My reaction was so severe I fell out of bed and screamed at the top of my lungs, but the thing is I couldn't stop myself from screaming, until my husband ran in and I physically grabbed his calfs (as I was still on the floor on my back paralysed) and after about another 20seconds of this I got up yelling there's a man in the house and bolted outside. This is the 4th time something so severe has happened, usually I just scream and someone will come in and wake me and it's over. It happens the same time and the last 2 times there has been a sickly sweet smell that is foul. I'm now starting to wonder if It just stress coming out or is there something else happening? The screaming dreams have lasted about 15yrs but the ones with men and old lady's standing over me or levitating above my face have been last couple yrs, the last one being 2nights ago.

[@lonewulv13]

@@bellab8412 That is very intense. I've seen them standing over me too ever since I used a Ouija board back in 2012. Various shapes and sizes. I used to react in a similar way as you but something shifted and now I literally go into savage mode and try to attack them. Of course my fists go right through them and often leav a dent on the wall behind them. I always leave a little salt lamp on in my room now. Keeps them away.

Thank you and great success to you Mysterious Middle East. Loved this video, I love hearing these stories. I find religion's fascinating. Persecution of people for their beliefs is so sad and I feel often the result of propaganda from elites with agendas. It's fascinating to hear hear different historical and religious perspectives from around the world. Speaking only from my experience of my country I think we are taught only what 'they' want us to know. Its easier to divide people if they miss understand one and other. It feels to me like they don't want us to stand up together as brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers.
