Biloxi - Keesler Air Force
Base - 334th Training Squadron - The
334th training squadron has a haunted wing. A young airman hung himself
during training in the wing. Now strange things happen in the wings
surrounding that wing. The wing was closed for a year but then an
overflow of students came and the wing was reopened. It was part of the
male dormitories. All that had gone down that hall said that the lights
flickered and it was very cold. The room was located at the end of the
hall next to the window and on the right. The bed it happened in was on
the right. The two male airmen that were assigned that room was not
informed of what happened. Strange things started happening to the one
in the right bed. He almost became possessed by this spirit. The airmen
in the left bed once woke up with his roommate standing over him.
Another night he awoke because he could not breath and found that his
covers were wrapped around his neck. He went to the red rope for help,
and shortly after the wing was once again shut down. The Chaplin came
in and performed an exorcism. Then about a year to two years later the
dormitory was torn down.

Base - 338th Training Squadron - The
338 training squadron still resides in original quarters and there were
3 spirits in the female wings alone. One was an angry man of about 27
or 28 who didn't know why females where there and wanted them all out
of "him air force". This was an uncomfortable presence that would just
sit three or four yards (sometimes halfway up the stairs while you were
guarding the entrance) and concentrate loathing on you, also he would
mess with the tuning on your radio. Also there was a boy named Jeremy
who was 18. He was a sweet kid who would check on everyone in the
evenings and make sure everyone was alright. He also would play pranks
like opening windows at night and dropping things inside locked wall
lockers when you are across the room. One soldier learned he missed his
mother, he went through the school in 1967 and although he knew he had
died of shrapnel wounds, he would often worry about going to 'Nam
"tomorrow". Jeremy, for the record was very polite in that if you were
studying with your door closed he would continue down the hall. He
seems to need the encouragement of an open door for an invite to
interrupt any study hall sessions.

Houston - Asbury Cemetery
- Asbury Cemetery is located way back on a dirt
road, down in a valley between some hills. It's a really pretty place,
and I have been to more than one funeral there. But it's also a place
where people like to park and stargaze. On several occasions, people
have described a low voice talking, or an overwhelming, almost
gut-wrenching feeling that something is watching them or something is
after them. More than one serious accident has occurred from people
driving from it at night as fast as they can. A witness involved in a
wreck reports: "A group of us were out there just hanging out when
everyone in our group, which consisted of about 10 people, all stopped
talking in mid-sentence and felt a horrible sense of dread. We ran to
our vehicles and everyone flew from there. I'm a biologist with a minor
in Physics; I don't believe in "ghosts". On top of that, my father is a
minister, and I have strong convictions against ghosts. Naturally, I
thought it was just a change in the wind, sudden drop in pressure,
etc., so I went back one night with a girl I was dating and a friend.
We were sitting in the car talking when I felt a horrible feeling that
someone was right on me. At the same time the girl I was with began to
scream and tell me to get out of here, start the car! We flew out of
there at full speed and kept speeding down the narrow two-lane road
that led to it. Even though we had left the area and were a half mile
away, she continued to look out the back window and say that someone is
coming, and our friend was saying "go, man, go! Don't slow down!" I
felt it too, and turned to look out the back window to see what it was;
I lost control on the dirt road and my car went down a steep hill into
some trees. We were at the bottom of this hill and all any of us could
do was yell excitedly in fear at what might be out there. To this day,
neither I nor any of my many friends who used to go out there will even
turn down the road that leads to it at night. Not from what I said, but
because they were there and I have felt it, too. "
