I’m not willing to say it was ghosts. I’m just not sure.
There was another incident a few weeks later. We had a platoon of Marines from the 24th MEU on base, staying in that building. 33 of them. They’d just rotated back from deployment overseas. Well about 0100 we heard screams coming from building 11, which was maybe 400 yards from our security office, went running over, and here’s 33 marines scrambling out of every exit there was on that building. Scared shitless. I ask their PL, wtf. He said something was in there , pulling off their blankets as they slept, moving their rifles and gear and finally , their CQ saw a steel chair fly across the room on the second floor and hit a wall, he screamed for everyone to get out.
Now mind you, only 3 people ever knew about our incident just 3 weeks earlier and none of them were the marines.
