So I was told when I took command of my unit in Bullville, NY that it was haunted. The barracks, "the haunted mansion", had at least two deaths in it and people hear noises there throughout the night. In addition there is a little girl who runs around the drill hall. The battalion XO who officiated the change of command ceremony used to be a company commander there as well. He said that he saw a UFO over head once as well. The area is the "hot spot" for UFOs in New York.

Is your building haunted? Have you ever been to a haunted house on a post or anywhere?

Yes, there is a ship in Corpus Christi Texas, you can tour the ship, some guy came up to me and family and was talking about the ship, dress in older uniform, we talked for about 20 seconds and turn around and he was gone, I looked all around. He just disappeared. My wife says lets go. But I never felt threatened at all. First and only time with this?

Was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in the mid 80s. Legend had it that a ghost of a WWII wandered the base. I didn't believe it at first, until one night while working on the flight line, I was driving around the end of the runway when another vehicle turned on behind me. I didn't think much on it, because mine was obviously not the only vehicle out there. It was only after being tailgated around the loop, as we called it, and passing the approach lights that the headlights disappeared. I looked behind and saw a truck at the beginning of the loop road, and assumed that was the only one behind me. Later I met up with a good friend, and told him what happened. He said that third truck was his supervisor, and said he saw 2 trucks at the approach lights, and only one after passing the lights. It was then I knew that I had been teased by the infamous Lakenheath Charlie!

Post revived! I was stationed at CG Station Harbor Beach, MI and it was haunted. I personally saw doors open and slam shut, door knobs rattle and jerk out of my hand, and heard strange unexplained noises in the station. Several other people saw the ghost (called Mikey) walking about 3 feet off the ground and out across the front lawn until he disappeared over Lake Huron. Mikey was a CG petty officer who was killed in a vehicle rollover accident in back of the station in 1989. I never saw the ghost, but the strange way that the doors in the building suddenly flew open or slammed shut was disturbing. The building was L shaped with no rear exit door (only ground level windows for emegency egress.) We figured that the air being drawn through the building could be responsible for the doors slamming shut, but not for them opening up (they were all heavy fire doors) or for turning the door knobs.

I think so, no matter what, I always wake up at 4 am when I pull a 24. We have no alarm clocks in the office and there's no explanation for it. That's not my normal time to wake up and I'm not the only one who experiences it!

No, no you are not.Underway we have rotating watches and I can wake up for what ever watch without an alarm clock. No matter how long I've been working/how little sleep I've had.

I always adapted like that underway as well PO2, but our watch turnover here is at 0545 so it really just pisses me off that I'm awoken an hour earlier than necessary.

My home is haunted. The land around is the site of a Civil War hospital Army of Northern type. More people died from sickness than actual combat.

I've been to a lot of places that were reported to be 'haunted', and in a strange way, I always hoped to 'experience' something myself, but alas, nothing. Not going to give up though! (no, not a 'ghost hunter' or anything, ,just curious!).

The most 'haunted' place I've ever been stationed was Washington D.C. (Ft. Myer, VA specifically). Seems like every historic building in the area (including on Ft. Myer, Belvoir, McNair, etc..) has stories of hauntings; and most of them are very interesting stories!

I have only been to Belvoir but never heard any stories. I was only there for a few days though.

Anytime you have that much history concentrated in that small of an area, there will be stories! If you make it back, ask around! While stationed with the Old Guard, I heard some whoppers from the Tomb Guards about some of the things they had seen / heard at night in Arlington!

I second that the barracks are indeed haunted. I didn't believe it until I had my little experience there.
