Basically built the whole thing under a small mountain then chopped bulldozed the top of it to build a runway. Rhymenoserous fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Jan 16, 2015 |

All props to Mr Bill for rehosting the Humpermonkey stories, but there's parts where text has been deleted & merged (sometimes in midsentence which is confusing as gently caress), so the complete stories can be found on Creepypasta - alont with sequels that I didn't know existed! Start with http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Humper-Monkey%27s_Ghost_Story 50 foot ant, you need to get this stuff up on Amazon. It's much better than some of the well received (& financially rewarded) self published stuff up there and the author self publishing tools are suppossedly easy to work with.

That story is loving awesome. I always heard rumors of an oil and water pipeline going directly from Stewart to the Hudson River, and tunnels connecting Stewart and West Point. Never believed them, but I do now.

Dead Reckoning posted:There's a tunnel system that links all the buildings at the Air Force Academy. It was built for maintenance, but it also was intended to serve as a shelter for the Cadet Wing in the event of an atomic attack. It had marshaling areas and store rooms and even a morgue. That part is true. There were always rumors of more, though: hidden command posts, archives with copies of important federal documents, connections to other bases in the area. There was also a locked gate leading to more tunnels past the steam plant. No one knew where it went. The rumor I always heard was that there was one big tunnel leading all the way to the old NORAD command center inside Cheyenne Mountain (about 20 miles away). I might say that's bullshit, but Cheyenne Mountain itself is a pretty fantastic feat of engineering, so who knows?

I'm pretty surprised there isn't a bigger focus on underground complexes and tunneling. It practically eliminates overhead recon and can be done cheaper and more effectively than it was in the past.

Guys on camp guard at Baharia in Iraq claimed they heard childrens' voices at night, but camp guard always sounded like a miserable job where you try not to waste your off-post time with bullshit like sleeping. sooo.. One story was that they pulled a decent number of bodies out of the lake when they were first building the place up. Executed by Qusay or Uday, forget which. Baharia was a low-rent amusement park before the invasion. There were some colorful (but very faded) remnants of that, though I forget exactly what. A gazebo and some playground equipment, I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG61C8swnGI On the big Island in Hawaii, up in the Pohakuloa training area (which looks like loving Mordor by the way) a guy on firewatch for the gunline called me over out of the warmth of radio watch in the FDC truck to point out a "fire spirit". Out in the impact area (well no poo poo) there was a little "floating" orb of fire. In pitch black night, though, who can say how far away/how big it was. Probably just a fire started by a still-burning illum round that managed to find something flammable in all those lava rocks. Also the big island has it's own God named Pele. Don't anger Pele. Don't take rocks off the island. I don't have any good Pele stories because I don't piss off island Gods. That's like day 1 stuff.

Goddamn Uday and/or Qusay killin motherfuckers and haunting up our lakes. We stayed in a "palace" on FOB Courage during the first half of our time in Mosul and it was rumored to be a former whorehouse for the Hussein bros. When you first walk in it opened up into a large circular room with a high ceiling and 8 small balconies at the second floor level. Story was ladies would stand up in those balconies and Uday and Qusay would walk in and make their picks. They killed some of these ladies (allegedly) and threw their bodies in the lake that surrounded the back side of the palace. The guys we replaced said they drained the lake when they first moved in and found a couple lady bodies. They also said the roof was haunted as gently caress and if you went up there at night you'd hear some weird sounds. I went up there one night and heard some poo poo that was probably just pigeons, but I wasn't a bad enough dude to find out. Too spooky for me, bro.

The CRG at Travis was set up in the old hospital, and the intel shop was located in what used to be the morgue. During Vietnam, Travis was one of the places for dignified transfer. Some of the intel folks who worked there swore that creepy stuff went down, especially at night. Voices, shadows, etc.

In Sarajevo we had to guard mass graves, not from 'the enemy' but from wolves, boars, and family members trying to dig them up. At night you would hear bone crunching noises from animals eating corpses, and during the day it was sobbing women and children trying to find 'Tata' (daddy). It was also loving cold as hell and we didn't have goretex poo poo back then. Long nights man, longer days.

"Some nights you can hear a goat baying faigntly. I looked through thermals and saw no signature. This time not because they are broken. It got louder and louder until I swear I heard a man screaming ALLAH INSUL... Then silence."

I heard a really good one: someone tried to tell me that every aircraft on static display is in a reserve status and can be restored to flyable in a certain amount of time. This was while we were next to an airpark that included a C-47 and A-26. I tried to explain that no one in the DoD (except maybe the 6th SOS) holds a Form 8 for the C-47 anymore, that planes drilled for holes to be mounted on sticks are generally no longer considered flyable, and that parts (radar, fire control, etc) for Century Series fighters are, for the most part, no longer available, but he was certain that his friend in logistics/fleet management had told him it was true.

Yeah, it's absolutely NOT true. A lot of them became statics because of irreparable damage. Nellis almost got an AWACS this way. Although the EC-121 at Tinker still still fueled and oiled until 2011 or so. Whoops.

No. I've seen some pictures of it completely stripped though...dome (including the entire strut assembly from the J-compartment of the fuselage), hatches, PDS antennae, etc, all gone. Google maps/earth show a clear parking spot where it sat. I don't see it at DM yet, though (I don't know how old those images are). The J-compartment would make it easy to spot. The airframe is done, they're not going to rebuild it. Edit:  Too bad it wasn't the very next one off the line. gently caress that jet.

Some Italians thought there was a secret underground base at Aviano, like it was the Area 51 of Europe or some poo poo. ALS building at Lackland was haunted. It was an old hospital at Kelly Field, no one wanted to go downstairs because that was supposedly where the morgue was.

I keep hearing about "War Stocks" which is apparently a series of warehouses (or bunkers, depending on who you hear it from) in Montreal and Halifax with equipment, vehicles and arms for four full divisions in storage for WW3. This is apparently all the stuff that was removed from the inventory after the cold war budget cuts, M109s, ADATS, Leo 1s, FN FALs etc. Is there an American version of this story or are Canadians just paranoid?

There are definitely supplies, but I don't know how much. In theory many of the aircraft stored at AMARC could be returned to service. Many of them are, actually...old fighters stored here after retirement have been returned to service as target drones. Now that we're basically out of F-4s, the QF-16 is a thing.
