Beware of the Jinns

David goes on to train in the military. Today we hear his story of
what lyrics in the Dark waits. My name is Edwards and here is David's
true scary story. It was January two thousand and eight while I was sent
to my first duty station, which was Fort Stewart, which is located in
Georgia. It's basically the southeast part of Georgia. It's actually a beautiful statement.
I was fresh out of A two which is basically my training for my
MS, schooling for what I do in the what I did in the military,
which is logistics. That was out in Virginia, and I was getting
off a plane in Savannah and I was thinking to myself, like, dude,
what did I get into? And the only reason I say that because
if you lived in the South with the community there's it's horrible like you get
out and it's just like a someone taking hot breath and just blowing it on
you, you know what I mean. And so what I did is I
had to walk to this thing called the vs SO. The VSO is just
like a place where soldiers can go to. They can use phones, they
can get water, snacks, they have to wait for layovers. It's just
a little center for soldiers. So I go to the vs SO and I
called it off the intake office to George Stewart to let them know, hey,
I need someone to come pick me up. I just arrived. It
was probably about three pm when I called them. Not until little after midnight
was I finally picked up by an NCO, which is a sergeant and another
soldier. The airport was probably about thirty minutes away from Highville. That's the
town Fort Stewart is located in. There's four interests to the base. There's
a main entrance, there's two side entrances, and there's a back entrance.
Now, the back entrance is off a route of one. This road is
directly surrounded by woods and training sites. I forgot to mention Fort Stewart is
pretty much in the woods. I'm not sure how many acres the whole base
uses, but it's a massive piece of land. Anyway, here we are
driving along this lonely dark road. It's about one am, and as we're
driving, I'm just looking out the window and into the dark woods when I
see a man standing about about thirty feet from the road, just beyond the
wood where the wood life starts. I freaked out and try to keep looking,
but we had already passed the spot from where I saw the map.
That's the sergeant if anyone lived out in these woods. I was told the
sergeant that's either that I'm just tired or just seeing things. And I don't
know, just maybe in my mind. So I couldn't even confirm it because
by this time, by thinking about it, I'm already on the half down
the road. So about six months have passed by when I experienced another incidents
with the woods and goes to the figures per se. It was around the
fourth of fourth of July time when I was I was in my apartment on
base on post. Housing was pretty much like the top right corner of the
base, because, like I said, the basis, it's huge and it
has like its parts to it where we basically go to work. There's like
a section it looks almost like industrial areas where we go work with basically where
all the tanks and humbies and all the warehouses are at. It's all on
one side, and then you have one section where you have like the supermarket,
the fast food restaurants basically where you can try to be normal, and
then you have a golf course on that base, and then you have about
the living areas, and like I said, it's it's pretty much the top,
back and right hand corner. It's all the backside along with that.
While I was talking about that one prety much where the woods are out that
way, my apartment was like in that area. It was an upstairs apartment,
so my living room window was actually facing the woodland. It's crippiest thing
in the world when you live. I don't know anyone's ever lived by the
woods. You live by the woods, and where the woodline starts, it's
literally like opening and it's just like a line of woods. It's just a
line of trees. And then it's super dark and you just look in there
and it's just super dark because it's woods. So my living room was facing
the woodline. And at this time I was living in alone in a two
bedroom apartment. I was just a private meaning one of the lowest drinkings you
can be in the military, and actually had nothing to part for three months
besides a couch, a TV stand, TV my PlayStation of course, and
a coffee table. I stepped in my living room and lived out of bags
and a hamper for quite some time, just a young and dumb that is
finally living on my own. It was a Saturday night, I would say,
maybe around eleven, I'm gonna say. I was watching the movie called
The Happening. It's the one with Mark Wahlberg or trees or something's giving off
like this chemical where making people kill themselves. It's a very like dumb movie,
but when you watch in the right setting, it really freaks you out
because it makes you look at like Mother Earth, like damn, she could
really turn on nothing kill us at any time side of here. So I'm
watching this movie, and of course, right outside my window is also like
a big old tree and it's kind of windy, so it's like the perfect
setting and watch this dang movie and all I here is like tapping on my
window and that's from the tree. So obviously I know that's just going on,
but it made the movie a big creepier. When the movie was finished,
I turned off my TV, of course, and the living room went
dark. I had no light in there, and I got up and I
started stretching because I was sitting there for a while and I was facing looking
out towards the window, towards the woodline. I was stretching out and I
saw what kind of look like someone walking in the wood It was weird because
it's like maybe five feet from the woodline, like you could see it's a
figure something's like walking. So I'm like, okay, whatever, maybe someone's
walking their dog. So I just left it out night, That's what I'm
thinking. But then I realized what time it was, and I'm like,
wait, it doesn't know why was someone be walking along this late at night
in the woods, mind you the woods, So it didn't make any sense
for me for them to be walking their dog at that time, especially on
face. I got a little closer to the window because I kept looking at
the figure walking, and it took me to a minute to realize that the
man I was looking at was not like dressed to the times right, So
it wasn't like, so this was two thousand and eight, It wasn't that
the clothing from this time percent of two thousand and It literally looked like a
person from the seventeen hundred. I was like, wait a minute, like
it doesn't seem right, what is he wearing? So even creepier he looked
a little transparent, just a little bit like it was just faint. I
shut the curtains, called it a knife. About a few months later,
we found out we were getting deployed in December of two thousand and nine.
So we're going to Iraq, We're going to Hey, we're going to war.
Get we're gonna get ready. That's pretty much when a year's worth of
trainings come in. So it takes about I want to say, twelve to
fourteen months to get ready to go to get deployed. So you do a
lot of trainings, You go to a lot of different other bases, and
you do a lot of training there because they had just had massive training areas
and we can be in the woods and play army per se, and so
our trainings consisted of us going into the woods a lot. One training,
we had to go on a field exercise for about seven days and set up
shop, run some scenarios, and then tear down and come back. I
was driving inn LM TV. It's a big truck that basically carries the troops
in. It looks like something like you haul animals in. It's just like
a big old truck that has the back of what the tops, seeing that
soldiers can sit along the sides of it, and you move equipment with it.
Anyway, So I'm driving one of those big old trucks and usually,
like I said, usually the hall of the soldiers of the equipment. As
we're driving, I noticed we would pass a lot of little grave side So
we went through the woods you used to go down the roads, you'll just
kind of if you look off to the side, you'll literally see like random
little gravesides with headstones, just a little bit of headstone. So it was
creepy because every grave set that you would see it only has ten to twelve
headstones. So it's just like it's very odd that you see little grave sites
of different parts of the woods. And so one time, I remember when
we were driving, we actually stopped. I had to take a piss,
So I stopped and pulled over and went towards like the grapes. Of course,
I didn't piss on the grave side. I pushed off to the side,
but I went to go look at the graveside after I was done.
So I go on, I check it out and I started looking at the
dates, and a lot of these dates were like seventeen eighty two, seventeen
sixty five eighteen. You know one, I'm just like dang like these people.
There's a lot of people here. Way back in the day. We
get to our site and put that, we put up all that we know
we must put up, and then we settle down and basically start playing army
per sake. I was asked with with something called nightguard, and the nightguard
what you do is you just secure the perimeter. You walk around the perimeter
for about two hours. And I was actually my shift was the third shift,
and that was basically like in the middle of the night. I think
it was probably like around two am when I was like tapped on my forehead
and hey man, you gotta get up at your turn. So I get
up, I get my stuff on, basically got to pull on what's called
full battle rattle, meaning you have to put all your gear on, your
flat vest, which is your IBA, which is your fulletproof vest. You
have to put on your knee ped your elbow pad, your held me like
literally, I'm about to go fight somebody at war. And I put everything
with my rock, which is about fifty pounds. It's a big backpack with
fifty pounds of stuff in it and you just walk around the perimeter. I
think they just do it to make us per se. I'm not too sure.
But as I'm doing my arounds, I start hearing noises in the woods.
I call it the noises of the woods. That's basically a loud cricket.
You hear like your little howls. And if you ever heard an owl
in the woods, it is the creepiest thing ever. It's just like this,
I don't know. It's just a piercing sound and it's so quiet,
and it seems like every time you hear the owl, everybody shuts up.
It's just it's the priviest thing ever. I also starts also start to hear
footsteps, and so I know that there's more than just me walking around.
There's another Soldier's usually two soldiers that are doing it. But you're never really
close to each other. You're always caddy corner from each other. So if
I'm on this side of the perimeter, he's on the other side of the
perimeter, it's kind of we're just doing a circle and we're chasing each other
in a sense. But anyway, I start hearing footsteps and night I'm just
thinking Okay, maybe it's maybe he caught up to me, or maybe it's
another soldier just getting up in the middle of the night to go piss in
the woods, because you know, we do that quite often when we're out
there. We get up the middle of the night. We don't want to
walk all the way to the quarter part, which are usually across the site,
so we just go into the woods door thing. So I took it
as that, so I kept walking around. Then I started noticing that the
footsteps were like a little too close to me. It's just too close for
it to be the other guard and it's too close for someone to be taking
a piss. So I stopped and I just started listening. I just wanted
to keep listening see if I can keep hearing the footsteps. So as I
stopped at the footsteps stop with me. So I don't hear anything, and
I just stand there. I'm like, okay, whatever. Right before I
start to take off, I hear the footsteps again, so this time like,
okay, who is this? Is someone following me? Is someone trying
to mess with me? I, like in the scary movies, decided to
go towards the noise, so I went towards the noise. Started walking towards
the noise, and as I getting closer and at the footsteps, just stopped
up and so I stop again, this time as I stop next to a
really big tree. It's only natural when you're in the woods or trees everywhere,
so when you're walking, there's always a tree right next to you.
But I stand up being right next to this really big tree. At this
time, I took a knee. I started drinking water, and at the
same time, because I'm still listening. As I'm drinking water, I'm just
looking in the darkness of the woods, I see a kid run from one
tree to the other tree, and then from that tree to another tree,
and I'm just like, wait a minute. I drop my water. I
get up, and I'm like stuck. I'm literally stuck. I think I'm
just scared at that point where I'm just stuck and I'm looking at this And
the reason I'm so scared is because this part of the woods at three am,
there should be no kids nowhere. There's no kids anywhere near us.
So when I saw that, I freaked out. And once again as the
kid was running. When I saw them running, it was like they were
dressed seventeen hundreds eighteen hundreds. They were wearing the I'm not too sure if
you guys remember the movie hocus Pocus in the beginning before the guy gets turned
into a cat, when he's wearing like that white shirt with those weird looking
like high water pants, looks like they made it out of potato sacks.
I stand up and, like I said, I'm standing looking and then finally
I get the courage to say hello, is anyone there? No response,
So I took up my little Dnky flashlight that they give us in the middlechair.
When I say, like a dingky flashlight, this thing is probably as
word as good as like having a lighter and turning it on, it doesn't
give you that much lights. He's kind of around you. So I take
it out and I'm kind of looking around me. I don't see anything.
I decided to head back towards out of the woods to get back to our
site, and this time I'm briefly walking back like I'm almost running. So
I'm going to them, and as I get back, I tell my buddies
that this four to thirty five, they're already getting up for the day.
I get back and I tell my buddies this would happen. Hey, bro,
this is what happened. I was in the woods. I heard these
noises of people walking. I saw a freaking kid running by, and they
all looked at me. Funny. They're like, you're tripping. You gotta
be tripping. You weren't sleeping or whatever. Even one of my sergeants was
like, oh, you know Whatlaska is, stop being You're just tired or
whatever. Okay whatever. At the end of like, as we're telling my
story, one of the soldiers just says, dude, look at that.
And so I think it was here at this time. The sun's not truly
out yet, so it's dark still. So when he says, dude,
look at that, we all churn and we look towards the woodline across the
way, and that's when you see it's like very faint, but the little
kid is right there at the woodline, looking right at us. So I
tell you, when we all freaked out. Now this is ten people looking
at this. We all freaked out out. I'm freaked out. But at
the same time, I told you, guys, I told you that wasn't
Yeah, that happens. They all freak out. Our sergeants in the uppers
get really scared. They get really scared that we actually had to move spot.
So we moved from one spot to another spot. But then again,
you really can't run out. You can't run from spirits in the woods.
And it's just really creepy because in those woods, I guess back in the
days, there was a lot of little like villages or a lot of little
towns, and yeah, a lot of those towns were actually owned by just
families. And all the people in their graveyard are literally families. They're not
like random or like a neighbor. They're all families. And so we have
them telling you like twenty different gravesites in these woods with like dead people,
just families. When we got back, it's like you you looked out,
you're crazy because even though you're ten guys, twelve guys telling you this is
what we saw, you're trying to convince it's like a whole unit of three
hundred people to believe that it's happened. But then again, you do have
people that it has happened to before. And I had a sergeant that's been
at that one base for ten years and it says it all the time.
I do, Like I see people fishing all the time. It's the weirdest
thing I see. It almost seems like I see that people that used to
hunt will be walking with a ghost dog. I'm like, it's crazy.
One of my captains would tell me that they were out in the woods one
time and that when they were walking, it was like a muddy area and
that they were see like if you didn't have your shoes on, footprints and
it's every there's no one there walking without boots. As a training sessions begin
to wrap up, David finds out that he is getting deployed. However,
the paranormal events only seem to get darker all of that of next so I
deployed to Iraq in December of two thousand and nine, left right before ecstacy,
but the first went to Kuwait and trained a bit before heading to Iraq.
I was part of a gun team to later turned into a security team
QRF team, and a QRF team is called a quick reaction force team.
Basically, we get called up if let's say someone's trying to break into the
bobs before an operating bases and they're over there starting to overtake the gay guards,
so they'll call us and we'll pretty much rush over there and start fighting,
so like a quick reaction. We were a squad about fifteen to seventeen
guys plus our translator. We were assigned the Louis. Louis was in his
late thirties at that time. He was like the storage statured man with a
lot of stories about Iraq. I grew up pretty much there because he had
a lot of stories about Iraq. When we went to train, he would
tell us about this one village that's like on the bank of the Tigris River
that was famous for sightings of shape shifters gins And at the time I wasn't
too big into the paranormal like I am today, but it did catch my
attention when he was giving when he was telling me the story because the stuff
that I've been through, like I said, growing up, and then obviously
the stuff that I went through when I was in the station in Georgia and
all that stuff with the crazy stories of the woods. So after we complete
all the training we needed in Kuwait, we basically were finally off on a
Hinduk, which is the big helicopters with the two blades on top. They're
very loud and anyways, so we get in one of those. It takes
us from Kuwait. Kuwait's right above Iraq and we go fly into Iraq and
it takes us to our first BOB, which is Fob Falcon. And for
people that don't know what that means, like I said, it's the forward
Operating base. So, like I said, little bases that you house the
soldiers. We were there for about five months before we relocated to Camp Liberty.
Camp Liverty now is the bigger It's like the bigger bases that's where like
a lot of generals and all that would stay at It had a lot more
manities out there, and it's just a way bigger base. Like I said,
we went out that we did mostly a lot of convoy security. Basically,
the convoy security consisted of just escorting logistics runs from like Camp Liberty to
for say, FOB Falcon, Fob Hammer whatever, little because those like Bob
Hammer and Fall Falcon are very small compared to Camp Liberty, so they have
to have their their food, their water, everything has to be taken to
them because everything comes in through Camp Liberty and then everything then everything once they
get sorted out through like the warehouses, through the logistics kind of gets put
on the trucks. We have to escort them to wherever they're going. We
just made sure that the LOGISTI runs will go smoothly and then escort the civil
in trucks back to Camp Liberty the following night. Because I was a gunner
slash driver, I was able to leave the wire. I mean I was
able to leave the fob really experience in c Iraq. Most just stay on
the fob, and a lot of people don't know this when you get deployed,
depending on what your job is, a lot of the times people's jobs
they just require to stay on the base like they're safe, not one hundred
percent, but they're safer than someone that goes outside the wire, meaning that
actually leaves the base and has to be on the roads and face all those
dangers. But I was fortunate enough to experience Iraq era to leave and do
what I did. While I was over there, maybe about a month in
the in I Camp Liberty, we were on a mission to a thob that
was like about forty five minutes away, nothing big, just take a few
trucks there, drop off come back all in one night. Now, these
civilian truck drivers are what we call we like to call them their world nationals.
They're basically typically poor people from other countries. They get paid nothing,
nothing to us, but to them in their country, it's a lot of
money. And like they said that, that's what they do. They get
contracted to the Department of the Defense and they end up working out there.
I met a lot of truck drivers with a lot of stories. But one
truck driver I met was from Iraq. He was in his mid fifties,
looks super tired and just run that like life has just tore him anew.
But he was full of life. That's one thing that's for sure. He
would tell us that he will tell us the crazy times under Saddam. He
would tell us the scary stories of the gins and his interactions. Who would
get us going, who would told a really scary story. So as the
trucks were getting download, we would just sit and wait. Basically while they
were getting down, it would just sit and wait. Make sure the truck
drivers to overtake the fob and try to kill anybody. So we just make
sure everything's going smoothly. So I and a few other soldiers go and sit
with our translator and just start talking about the old Iraq and how it looked.
As Louis is talking, I see the old man, that truck driver
that I had a lot of stories, walking from the bathroom back to his
truck. So I tell that old man, hey, come over, come
sit with us, come talk to us. He did speak English. Wasn't
the greatest, but he did speak English, so he did. He came
over and I introduced him to Louis because he had not Louis, and we
proceed to keep talking. I I crested with the truck driver basically tells us
the story of his encounters with the gins or shape shifters. He begins to
tell his story, and as he's going along, Louis is pretty much confirming
the truth behind everything he's saying. So not only is he saying they started
and creeping you out, you have someone just yeah that's true, Yeah that's
true. It's like okay. So he was telling us how he was walking
home one night and stated he was being followed by a gin. He says
that he looked back and saw what it looked like, an older lady in
black just walking briskly behind him, and he stated he started running and when
he got a little ahead, he said, he looked back again and saw
a goat just standing there. Why do you think about it? Just a
goat. He doesn't mean to make any sense. It's not a scary,
but you're like, okay, you have an old lady think Turando is a
goat? Okay. So then he said that when he turned around he saw
the goat, that the goat was just looking at him, and it's like,
okay, why is this gat just looking at me? And that the
goat just walked into the field. And as they as he saw the goat
walking into the field, it just disappeared. So we're like, okay,
all right, get that. Going on one of our last few missions,
we were tasked to go to do a security walk through in a village by
the Euphrates River, probably about two hours away from Camp Liberty is walking around
and making sure everything is cool. So it's just like posing security for that
village because sometimes you get we'll get intel that isis would be running through there,
or there could be potential bad guys in the area. So what we
do is we go through the middle of the night and do a surprise walk
through. Just make sure it's kind of cool. Copa set it so,
like I said, we're doing just make sure they're no bad guys in the
area. It's probably about eleven PM when we got there, probably stopped about
four hundred meters from like the beginning of the village, and we go blackout.
So the whole time we're going, we're blacked out, meaning there's no
lights. We use the night vision pretty much in infrared prob. About four
undred meters out we stopped. We pulled off to the side of the road
which is like the bank of the Euphrates, and it was about it was
a dark night. The moon wasn't really out. It was like in the
phase whorres I like to call a gun God's thumbnail where it's just like looks
like a thumbnail. It's not a full moon. It's like the very end
of it. And so there's really not a lot of light. It's really
dark out there, so we have to basically use our night vision. When
we got the all nloaded the humbies and we all went in humpies. No
no big trucks, just dumbies. Caught our weapons and our ear ready I
was at the back of my humvee getting my gear, getting my gear on,
getting ready, and I saw what looked like to be a man standing
like three hundred meters away, but behind us, not towards the village,
but behind us. Picked them. I M four, have on my M
four. Of course, I have my scope. I have my flashlight on
it and all that good stuff. Can I a little check that weapon and
I pull it up and I shine my light at him. It's super bright.
These lights are pretty bright. So I shined my light at him.
Nothing's there, right, You're like, okay, pretty sure there was a
guy there. I know. I'm not high, I'm not drunk. I'm
in Iraq. I did get enough sleep. So I'm running through my head
and I'm just as a light shining. I'm looking around. Okay, there's
nothing there. I turned the light back off, and as I turned the
light back off, the freaking shadow of the man is standing right in front
of me. At that moment, I tell our buddy, I'm like,
dude, i'saw on the rad I'm like, if someone needs to come over
here and I and look at this right, So two or three people walk
down towards me. Which is like a sergeant, lieutenant, and another soldier.
They walk out towards me, and as I're walking, I'm still looking
at at this figure. And as they walk up towards me, the figure
starts to walk to the field, and so I'm looking at him like,
okay, he's walking towards the field. And so I was just walking towards
the field. There's like these I'm not too sure what to call them,
but like on the river bed, there's like these bushes that grow there,
like really big vines, and they grow up, they go up and it's
really high, and they will block vision. If you walk behind that thing,
you like blocks you one hundred percent. So he was like when he
was walking to the field, he had across one of these big old bushes
and when he did that of a figure whatever it was, when it did
that, I lost vision of it. And so as by the three the
lieutenants, the sergeant and the soldiers coming up, I had already started saying
that to look out to the gunners, to look out to that field and
to scan the field because I don't have a vision on this whatever it is
anymore. So at the gunner from the first truck, he's on top of
the truck, still on his guns. So he looks over. He uses
his night vision, the night vision scope, and not only dad he used
is Infra red goggles. And as he's scanning, he's you can hear on
the room, this is our own radio. Right as he's scanning, He's
radio is in what he's seen. And so when he starts what he's seen,
he's saying that he sees what looks like to be a man or a
human, but walking on all fours. And so he's so we're like,
wait, what, And we're listening to this on the radio. And then
not only do we have radios that are in our ear, we have radios
that just you can hear it when they're talking. It's just not hooked up
to our headsets. And so louis listening to this right, and Louie is
not that far from us. So as our gunner is telling us what's going
on, Louis starts to pray in Arabic and I can hear him. I'm
hearing him praying and he's talking in Arabic, and I look back and I'm
like, yo, what's going on, Louie? And he doesn't say nothing
to me. He's praying, he's praying, he's praying, and finally he's
done, and then I asked him again, Louis, is everything okay?
He was like, you don't want to hear this. And I'm like,
what do you mean that's a gin? That's a gin. I'm like,
what do you mean it's a gin's that's a shape shifter. I'm telling you
he's we need to leave. And I'm like, okay, So I tell
my lieutenant and as I as Louis telling me this, they're obviously it's still
talking over the radio. The gunner says, all you hear is The gunner
says, it's gone. Like, what do you mean it's gone? That's
my thought, what do you mean it's gone? I help on the top
of my truck. I put on my infrared goggles too, and I'm looking.
There's nothing in the fields. There's nothing in the fields. Maybe about
ten minutes later that thing appears. But on the other side of the village,
when you're looking at the village straight, it's literally like the road goes
there's a road that goes right straight through the village, and on the other
side it's just you keep going to whatever is going to lead you to this
thing. Somehow got from that field within maybe five minutes, like another one
thousand meters to the other side of the road. Right now, we're looking
at this thing on the bottom. It's about a thousand minutes, but you
can still see that far. We have eric goggles, so we see this
thing and it starts walking towards us. At that point, our lieutenant was
like, what is going on? So we literally get ready because we think,
okay, is this what is a person? What is this coming at
us? So we get ready, we get our guns out, we literally
get in our form on in a tactical formation, and we start walking towards
it as well. I don't even think this was the best idea, but
we had to do it because we don't know what we're dealing with. Louis
is telling we're dealing with a gin, but when it comes to military standards,
we're not to sit there and believe that it is a gin. We
have to take it as this is a human. So we go towards like
the flying be we're going towards with our weapons. We span out across the
road, so now it's just a line of us walking down this one road
and literally, with our weapons drawn lights, everything we see the dark.
We can see the darkness of this thing walking towards us. And as we
get closer and closer, I'm telling you, my heart is going through my
chest at this point, because not only are we looking at what is a
shadow, this shadow looks to be like seven feet tall. So as we
get closer, it just seems like it seems getting bigger and bigger. And
we stopped maybe three hundred meters from it. We stopped and we just we
I think we all stopped because we were scared. To be honest, we
all stopped, and we were just looking at this thing. And this thing
stops, and what it looked while we're looking at it, it seems it
gets shorter and shorter, and it really ends up looking like a three foot
midget at this point. And so we're just looking at this are we really
just witnessing something get from a seven foot tall figure to a three foot twell
figure. And I don't know how to process this, but all I know
what to do was shine my light at it. And when we shined our
light at it, it looked like a goat with these bead red eyes,
but it was standing like an old man, crunched like if he was so
old that his back was curved, and he was really low to the ground,
and it looked like an old man, but with a goat face and
these b red eyes. When that happened, we ran, We literally ran
back. We ran back because we didn't know what the hell that was.
But when we got back to the trucks, Louis didn't come with us.
By the way, I forgot to say that Louis decided to stay back because
he knew what what we're dealing with. When we saw that, we ran
back, and when we ran back towards the truck, that seven foot figure
was two hundred meters behind our trucks. Again, so now at this point
we don't know what we're dealing with. I start praying to God for the
first time that I've been and I ran forgot how long it is the first
time. I'm praying, thinking that I don't get possessed or whatnot, because
we really don't know what's going on. We get back to the base.
We literally get through our trucks. We just take off. We get we
take off through the through where the guy thing was standing me by that time
when we started taking off that the figure was on. So we just we
took off, We went through the tree, we went down the dirt road,
we got back to our to the base, to the fobs. Literally
we sounded like seventeen crazy people. Seventeen crazy people were telling them because we
have to report this. So this is actually documented federally in file of what
happened and what we saw. Now after the crazy part about it. When
we got back a week before we left, we had one more mission and
on that last mission, it was took a fob called bob Hammer. Fob
Hammer is like in the middle of nowhere. It's open fields. When we
were going maybe like about forty five minutes from fob Hammer. When we were
getting there, obviously we do everything at night. We were looking out,
I was scanning the fields and as I'm scanning the fields, there's that goddamn
shadow again. And I tell every week I stopped. I was the first
truck I stopped. So when I stop, everybody stops and everyway, and
when I'm I'm looking at the shadow and I tell everything and everybody's what's going
on? What's going on? On the radio. I don't say nothing for
like maybe a minute, and then I just saw everybody, you need to
look east, and everybody looks east. And when everybody looks east, that
the A said. The thing was standing there just looking at us. And
it's in the dark, and all your ped red eyes, bed red eyes,
and they're just looking at us. And at that moment, I knew
I encountered a gin. I knew it. I had to believe it because
not only it happened once, it happened twice. And I wish I could
say it was crazy, and I wish I could say that this would make
believe. But honestly, when you come into experience or an encounter with a
gin, I feel like it not only leaves you with this memory, but
you do have reoccurring dreams. I have dreams where I see this black shadow
and it freaks me out, and I feel like, not only did I
leave it there, I think it came back with me and it's in my
dreams. And I'm not the only one that does dream it. There's literally
like ten guys that tell you the same thing. I asked Louis, what
are gems exactly? What are they? And he says they're just they're like,
they're bad spirits. They're almost like demi. They basically they just transform
into whatever they need to either get away or to mess with people, be
mischievous in a sense. Everybody had their own vision of it, their own
story of it, but it's all the same thing. We saw the dark
figure, we saw the beady red eyes, we see it in our dream
still. So it's just it's the weirdest thing. Do you have a true
