Marine and this is my story on the experiences I've had during my deployment in Okinawa Japan I was there from September 2016 to March 2017 there is a brief history of that island itself during the Second World War there was a very bloody battle between the u.s. and Japan on the island a battle that lasted over 80 days during the battle there was an estimated eighty-two thousand deaths on American and Japanese armed forces combined and on top of that there was an estimated 150,000 up to 300,000 Okinawan civilians that were either killed committed suicide or simply went missing after hiding in the caves underground trying to keep away from the horrors of the war now I was staying at Camp Schwab during my deployment it's located further up north of the island away from the rest of the bases down south where most of the battle sites were my first experience happened to a friend of mine who was on the deployment with me but was soon soon to be a PMO to be a guard or whatever those guys do my buddy let's name him Alex was doing his usual roaming during his post around the base it was around 3:00 in the morning suddenly he caught sight of a person on top of the hill just wandering aimlessly he told me that this guy who he thought was just another drunk Marine was pacing back and forth looking at the ground on the ridgeline of the hill he couldn't see features because of how dark and far it was but he could obviously see a silhouette or outline of a person he didn't want to be a jerk or blind this guy so before he reached out for his flashlight to get a better look at the situation he called out to the man saying hey is everything all right and just then the silhouette stopped walking and stood there facing the base for a good 5 seconds then it suddenly started walking away from Alex he then tried calling out to him again this time following him and letting the rest of the guards know on his radio about the situation but the closer Alex got the further the silhouette went it seemed he couldn't keep up with them pretty soon Alex was literally chasing this guy at a full sprint but he or it just kept going faster and faster until the figure ran around an ammunition building now Alex knew that he had him trapped because behind that building is nothing but a tall fence with barbed wire so it was definitely a dead end at that point two more guards came in a vehicle to help Alex weed the guy out one of the guards stayed by the car while Alex in the second went separate ways around the building to find this runner but as they went around and went between the fence and the building they only found each other on the opposite side at first they figured he went inside the building through a window or unlocked the door but as they open the building once they got the keys the only thing they discovered was that every other door and window was locked what freaked them out the most was that there were no footprints anywhere on the muddy ground around the building only their own it was like that man had vanished I later found out from other Marines that were stationed there but there was a ghost on the base that they called the shadow man apparently if you catch sight of this dark figure and it notices you it will then turn away to avoid you there have been more incidents of this happening over the years mostly by guards and the staff NCOs who are roving around the base this next incident happened to not only me but to more friends of mine during a field operation at a combat town in or around Camp Hansen this was during the second and third night at different locations of the area it was in the middle of the jungle inside the camp the first night my platoon was sleeping about 150 yards in the jungle from the road there was a guard at an observation point set up on the side of the road now at midnight it was my turn to guard so I made my way there and I made sure I had my in VG's my night-vision goggles with me because though it was a full moon there were some clouds in the sky that could make it a little difficult to see at night so as I was there I couldn't help this feeling that I was being watched and this feeling felt as if it was coming from the other side of that road further on during the night around 1:30 in the morning I heard what sounded like footsteps and a dragging noise along the grass beside me to be honest it sounded like it was coming from everywhere and soon I was starting to freak out I then heard this clicking noise I first brushed it off as maybe a bird but as I listen closer it sounded more distinct like the clicking a person makes with their tongue and this was coming from the tree line across the road from me freaking out I grabbed the night-vision goggles and I began to scan that tree line but there was nothing there I couldn't find anything not a person and no creature let's just say when someone finally came to relieve me I went straight to my sleeping bag but I didn't sleep at all that night it was my friend Phillip who was the one to take my post at 2:00 in the morning and his experience was much more terrifying immediately after he had replaced me he heard those same footsteps as I did only this time they seemed to be closer being freaked out as well he stood up scanning the area about 30 minutes later he heard what sounded like sobbing and mumbled words it sounded like a woman faintly crying and saying something in a language he did not understand this sobbing was coming from below him he nervously poked his head out and said ma'am are you there do you need any help all of a sudden in a split second the woman's voice grew louder and by that I mean it was right in his ear she was speaking to him in Japanese this scared him so bad that he froze there he was too scared to even turn his head to look at her once he snapped out of his trance he sprinted towards the platoon not even looking back once this is when I heard him running past me which scared the hell out of me being freaked out as I was I then overheard him saying to the sergeant's about how there's no way he's going back there I mean this guy was horrified I could hear it in a shaking voice after that incident there were a lot of Marines that were on a high sense of alert during the rest of our operation the next night we spent the night in the combat town inside the buildings since it was raining a bit during the night we had two posts each with machine guns the posts were on top of the highest buildings in the small empty town once again we were surrounded by jungle and tree lines that bordered the town once I finished my post I went to my sleeping bag to get some shut-eye when suddenly I was woken up about 20 minutes later by the very marine who had come to relieve me he said to me in a whisper there there's someone out there man I saw them with my Envy geez they walked right out of the jungle across the road and been another shorter person followed them I told him it's probably range control guys and to go back to the post another half hour passed then he came back and woke me up along with a sergeant telling us I saw them again dude this time whoever it is keeps poking their head in and out of the treeline after that the annoyed sergeant and I grabbed two more Marines and total of four of us to gear up and go investigate as we went along the outside of the combat town between the treeline of the jungle and the buildings I was told to go to the second post to let the Marine who's on watch know that my fireteam will be walking by as I walked along the treeline I was filled with this feeling of dread and a feeling of being watched once more I tried to shake it off until I heard in the distance of the jungle what sounded like children talking and playing now it was around 2:00 in the morning so I figured what the hell are children doing out here in the middle of nowhere I tried to ignore it maybe my mind was playing tricks on me and I went upstairs to the building to let the Marine know of the situation the Marine on watch was a good friend of mine named Jerry and as I was explaining to him what was going on out there there was a distinct laughter from a child and it was coming from a tree line right behind us the laughter was so loud but the sergeant sleeping a few feet from us scrambled to his feet and was like what the hell was that did you guys just hear that he was a startled as we were Jerry then said to me it's probably your guys playing with us isn't it I shook my head and I grabbed my Envy geez to scan the town in front of us to my horror they were all there my whole fire team of Marines was still scanning the tree line in the road they were in my sights so who the hell was laughing we got our flashlights and scanned the tree line ourselves but we saw nothing there was nothing there but thick jungle not even the sound of insects her animals were heard once my fire team assembled they too found nothing during the small patrol there were no footprints or indications of someone or something walking around that area no evidence that anyone had been there despite the sightings of humanoid figures I've come to realize how haunted Okinawa really is as beautiful as it is there it's a very eerie place out of these experiences I've learned a few things one is to respect the dead and their land the next is to never walk alone in Okinawa at night and finally a war creates death untimely deaths and sometimes after the war is over when you stand on the battlegrounds of the past you might see spirits roaming the land so if you ever come down to Okinawa keep a good eye out because chances are you might just run into a ghost number three werewolves of World War one submitted by Toni s a long time ago my grandfather was a German imperial soldier he would often tell me about his experiences in combat and many other things he grew up in a small town out in the country where he would often hear people's encounters with the craziest things he never did believe the locals though he never believed in the creatures they talked about until he had his own encounter with what he believed was a lycanthrope it was 19:16 and it was a cool quiet autumn night my grandfather was out on patrol at one point he stops to light up a cigarette when suddenly he hears rustling in the woods in front of him he looks up and readies his rifle and he waits he keeps his gun raised for a while then when things quieted down again he put his gun down and he enjoyed the sight of the beautiful full moon he suddenly jumped when he heard the scream of a man he again pulled up his rifle and then climbed out of the trench a soldier came sprinting out of the woods another german soldier he jumped into the trench then my grandfather noticed that his shoulder was dripping in blood immediately he asked a man what had happened and where he left his gun because his gun was nowhere on him the man stared up at him with wide eyes his whole body trembling and he was unable to speak a word then suddenly from the very woods the man had ran out from they heard this loud bone-chilling howl it was so loud and so close that it woke up many of the other soldiers my grandfather always said how spooked he was when he heard that sound it was a noise that built real fear in him when he looked back down at the soldier that was injured he heard the man muttering under his voice in a low whisper it found us it held us my grandfather picked up his rifle and he woke some more of the soldiers and gave an extra rifle to the young soldier but he wouldn't take it he just stayed there muttering and trembling someone walked up to my grandfather and asked what was going on if we were under attack and right before he finished his sentence they all heard the same howl again but this how was coming from behind them they all formed a circle watching in every direction keeping each other's back safe suddenly one of the soldiers gasped and they all glanced in his direction there in the distance that could just barely make out a hulking figure it was standing in between the trees with eyes that glowed yellow in the moonlight and as one of them got a flashlight and shown it in the direction of the creature whatever it was booked it back into the woods all the while as it ran away it was breaking limbs and branches so whatever the thing was it was definitely big when they calm down and got back into the trench the injured man was now passed out he must have fainted they took his jacket off of him and they pulled down his shirt to look at his shoulder and what they saw was a bite a massive gaping bite something far too big to have been some crazy person the man got treatment and he ended up okay but he would be shaken ever since that experience ever since then my grandfather began to believe the story that the locals would tell and it really changed his overall view of the supernatural ever since I could remember it my grandfather was very passionate about the unexplained and unknown he was a man that constantly search for other soldiers weird stories he has passed since then but I wish I knew what kind of stories he may have found number for Iraq daemon submitted by Enrico suave I was a US Marine from 2004 to 2009 during one experience my unit had taken over a building near al-assad in Iraq and I was on guard duty that night this was during the rainy season and the wooden doors that were the entrance to the building were swollen and were very loud and difficult to open think of the building layout as two Capitol h's so there was one long hallway and eight other hallways they branched out symmetrically from one another on the right and on the left they had rooms down those hallways I was just reading a book on eastern espionage and all the other Marines were at their posts I got up to tour the area and came back to where I had been sitting and started reading again I noticed that after I had started reading that I had read this page and I skipped ahead to where I had been thinking I had misplaced my page marker about 15 minutes later I got up again to do another perimeter check and when I got back to my spot I began reading again and begin it was on a page I had already read even though I very clearly made sure I mark the correct page when I laughed at this point I think one of the other soldiers may be messing with me possibly a friendly prank to lighten up the mood at the very worst it was someone that was in the building with us trying to gather information and maybe even harm us so I got up and toured the area again trying to be as quiet about it as possible but before doing so I put my pin in the book on page 186 through 187 I took a very solid mental picture of it then I set off again rounding the perimeter and when I got back to the book it now showed to be on 180 to 183 I was now 100% certain that something was going on I was very on edge then and I was very alert I started to hear what sounded like someone walking in the hallways someone in heavy boots I started around the entire building with my m4 with my flashlight on and pointing ahead I kept hearing faint echoing footfalls but I never saw or found anyone and there wasn't any place to hide in this building the rooms were vacant as were the hallways after about 15 more minutes of searching and began to round one of the hallway corners when I noticed in the reflection of the window nearby that there was someone standing around the corner up ahead I burst around the corner my rifle at the ready and I yelled stop as loud as I could certain that I had found the perpetrator but as I glared down the hallway there was no one there I felt as though I was losing it and became very tense and I felt a chill in the air i sat down trying to figure out what could be going on when I noticed movement in my peripherals I snapped my head over to the door the led to the outside and these doors each had a 12 inch by 12 inch diamond window and I swear to God when I looked into that window the reflection showed someone's face as quickly as it had appeared it faded away it didn't duck out of the way or move side to side it just faded I jumped up kicked the swollen doors open and looked around the sand was raked around the building for several yards this was to identify any footprints someone would have to leave behind if they were to come up to the building but the sand I saw showed no sign of disturbance the ground to the roof was about 13 feet so unless I was dealing with an Olympic pole-vaulter there was no way this person or thing could have gotten away I knew I saw someone but it was impossible for them not to leave evidence behind that they had been there that really shook me up I spoke with our interpreter about it a couple of days later and he didn't act very surprised he told me that this was sacred land patriarchs like Abraham and others had walked these lands supposedly miracles and spells and curses had been done there he went on to tell me about how common demons sightings were around these parts his brother was a captain in the Iraqi army and he said one day he saw a demon sitting on a toll barrier on the side of the road at night he said the creature speed were touching the ground but the barriers were about 15 feet tall he was so dumbfounded that he didn't have the chance to point it out to his men later on his convoy went and stopped at a hotel very different from ours here in the States for the night since he was an officer he had a room to himself and his men stayed in rooms close by he awoke at one point in the night and saw that same demon in his room it was staring at him from across the way he pulled out his sidearm and emptied the entire magazine into the creature when his men heard the commotion they burst inside turning on the lights what they found were bullet casings littering the ground the captain by himself just staring at the wall and disbelieved there was no creature there but what really shook the entire group was the fact that none of the bullets he had fired had left even a scratch on the concrete wall though it doesn't have to be war has become second nature for the human species constantly we find we hate we murder each other so that the rich men can get richer and religious fanatics can think their cause is the right one I don't even have to say anything creepy here war is hell and sadly it's inevitable as a young man that would be drafted in a heartbeat in the next big war I do think about it and I fear that day and all honesty I hope that day never comes for any of us good night be sure to like share comment and subscribe if you enjoyed the video and don't forget to send us your creepy creature story soon and death by fear calm Thanks
