1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,600 A marine uncovers the truth about an outpost with a turbulent past. 2 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,140 It is a collection of all the dead embodied in that mountain. 3 00:00:18,140 --> 00:00:21,200 There's a presence there, and this presence followed me. 4 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,520 While on a covert intelligence mission, a Navy officer faces a terrifying reckoning. 5 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,760 My heart was going a hundred miles an hour. 6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:29,760 I couldn't even speak. 7 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,760 Who is this guy? 8 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,080 And how did he get in here? 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:40,640 An unknown presence pulls an armed forces police officer into a living nightmare. 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,660 And all of a sudden this shadow was at the foot of my bed. 11 00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:48,680 I am trained to fight, and I had no ability to do so. 12 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:10,560 In 1944, as Hitler desperately tried to maintain a stronghold in the Mediterranean, he set 13 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,360 his sights on the port of Naples. 14 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:20,600 To seize control, German bombers carried out frequent air raids on the city, forcing thousands 15 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,400 of innocent civilians from their homes. 16 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:31,120 While many people escaped to underground bunkers, others weren't so lucky. 17 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:39,320 Today, according to local legend, the souls of the dead refuse to leave and are very 18 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:40,320 much alive. 19 00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:44,480 I opened my eyes and I see these three hooded figures. 20 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,480 They were just dark entities trying to terrorize me. 21 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,560 I was scared. 22 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,680 I was terrified. 23 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:59,760 There's no reason to make a story like this up. 24 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:00,760 My name is Jesse Castillo. 25 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,040 I was in the U.S. Navy for eight years. 26 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,640 I'm a Leap-on-Apache from Texas. 27 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,160 Indigenous people are very spiritual, and we believe that everything has a soul. 28 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,120 Everything from a tree to the earth has a soul. 29 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,400 My family, we were actually first poor. 30 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:23,360 And by being in the military, I was able to help my family. 31 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:31,440 At Bootcamp, Jesse shows a strong talent for data analytics and is trained in cryptology. 32 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,400 Cryptology is a mechanism for secure communications. 33 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,920 It's sort of spy craft stuff. 34 00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:42,480 And using cryptology, you can send messages without them being detected, or even if they 35 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,160 are detected, they can't be read by the person who intercepts them. 36 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,160 It's pretty intensive. 37 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,640 If you don't know Morse code, you have to learn Morse code. 38 00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:54,000 Then you have to learn things about frequencies. 39 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,040 There's ultra-high frequencies, there's low frequencies, and everything back in those 40 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,680 days sometimes things were line of sight. 41 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,680 You didn't have a satellite. 42 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,800 You had to learn all of that. 43 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,800 After graduation, Jesse is stationed in Naples, Italy. 44 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:18,280 By the late 1970s, with the Cold War simmering, the historic city has become a hotbed of Soviet 45 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,160 espionage. 46 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:26,160 In response, NATO established AF South, a command center where U.S. service members 47 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,560 play a critical role in gathering counterintelligence. 48 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,200 The year was 1976. 49 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,360 I was a second-class petty officer. 50 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,520 Our objectives were working with all the other NATO countries that had a top secret, a top 51 00:03:40,540 --> 00:03:41,540 secret auto-clearance. 52 00:03:41,540 --> 00:03:47,160 There's a lot of things that even now years later I will not talk about. 53 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,640 A top secret auto-clearance is the highest ranking security clearance within NATO, giving 54 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,300 auto-holders access to nuclear weapon schematics. 55 00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:05,120 It was a pretty important job because people's lives were counting on getting the information 56 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,480 that we were putting out to them. 57 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,120 During the Cold War, I mean, you have to realize 58 00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:12,920 Naples, Italy is a huge, huge seaport. 59 00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:17,560 So the USSR had a big presence there. 60 00:04:17,660 --> 00:04:20,160 We'd have briefings every week with the NIS, 61 00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:23,460 and sometimes the CIA, and sometimes CID, 62 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,300 which is Army Intelligence. 63 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,340 And they would point out and have films and pictures 64 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:35,280 of known people coming off of Russian ships that were spies. 65 00:04:35,340 --> 00:04:37,080 And they would tell us, these guys 66 00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:38,880 are looking to meet Americans. 67 00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:40,680 These guys will befriend you. 68 00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:41,980 They'll buy you beers. 69 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,080 They'll come to where you live. 70 00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:45,360 So be very careful. 71 00:04:48,460 --> 00:04:51,420 With Naples overrun by Soviet spies, 72 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,460 Jesse decides to live an hour outside the city 73 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,100 in the village of Kuma. 74 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,960 My home in Kuma was pretty simple. 75 00:04:58,060 --> 00:05:00,640 They had two apartments, very, very secluded. 76 00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:03,100 On the left side was my neighbor. 77 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,580 His name was Dominico. 78 00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:09,780 And on the right side was myself and my roommate, Larry. 79 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,020 One day, we got home from work, and we 80 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,980 see this school-aged person sitting down on our stoop. 81 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,760 Larry and I are confused because the child's not 82 00:05:19,860 --> 00:05:23,000 wearing contemporary clothing, and he was just looking at us. 83 00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:28,360 So we walk up to the stoop, and the boy's not there longer. 84 00:05:28,460 --> 00:05:29,400 He was gone. 85 00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:30,600 There was nobody there. 86 00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:32,540 So we thought it was kind of strange 87 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,840 that he could leave, and I didn't see any tracks. 88 00:05:36,940 --> 00:05:39,840 Larry and I couldn't really come up with good ideas 89 00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:42,140 to what happened with him. 90 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,640 He was gone. 91 00:05:44,740 --> 00:05:45,640 We couldn't explain it. 92 00:05:50,260 --> 00:05:52,460 We come home the next day from work, 93 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,960 and we see this young man standing there again at our stoop. 94 00:05:58,060 --> 00:06:00,800 He was wearing the exact same schoolboy clothes, 95 00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:04,520 but not from our time frame. 96 00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:07,100 This time, we said hello to him when we were trying to speak 97 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,200 to him in both English and Italian. 98 00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:15,340 We probably got about 10 feet from him, and he took off. 99 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,280 He went around the corner of our apartment, 100 00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:23,720 and we chased after him, but he disappeared. 101 00:06:23,820 --> 00:06:25,980 We don't know what the child wants from us, 102 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,420 but obviously, we have very sensitive jobs, 103 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,620 and so we had to keep an eye out as to who this child was, 104 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,480 and what did he want with us? 105 00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:36,820 And so that's what led us to say, 106 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,720 let's go talk to Domenico, because we 107 00:06:38,820 --> 00:06:39,860 need to get some answers. 108 00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:47,400 Domenico tells us he had heard about this young boy 109 00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:48,900 from other people. 110 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,760 His family lived in the area during World War II, 111 00:06:51,860 --> 00:06:56,400 and he died under some mysterious circumstances. 112 00:06:56,460 --> 00:06:59,100 Then Domenico tells us, yes, I've 113 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,260 seen this person before also. 114 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,860 He won't speak to you, but he won't hurt you. 115 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,600 This person is a spirit, and that's not from this world, 116 00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:10,000 so just forget about him. 117 00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:11,940 You're going to see him all the time, 118 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,800 and I'm like, the heck? 119 00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:16,480 What's going on here? 120 00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:18,720 So after the first time I saw him, 121 00:07:18,820 --> 00:07:20,580 he became a regular visitor. 122 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,520 We saw him probably every day. 123 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,500 It made me nervous. 124 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,700 It's something I couldn't explain. 125 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,600 I'm thinking that this boy is an apparition. 126 00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:37,940 He's not really there. 127 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,200 He's a boy from the past. 128 00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:42,180 He's a boy from during the World War II era. 129 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,520 A few days later, I'm in my house. 130 00:07:45,620 --> 00:07:49,320 It's after work, and I'm in my bedroom, 131 00:07:49,420 --> 00:07:53,560 and out of the corner of my eye, I see somebody walk by, 132 00:07:53,660 --> 00:07:56,120 and I go, wow, what was that? 133 00:07:56,220 --> 00:08:00,600 I'm in my bedroom, and I see this boy walking by. 134 00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:02,400 He's a boy from the past. 135 00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,040 He's a boy from the past. 136 00:08:04,140 --> 00:08:05,780 He's a boy from the past. 137 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,000 He's a boy from the past. 138 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,200 And I go, wow, what was that? 139 00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:16,140 He was dressed in clothes from back in the 40s. 140 00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:22,580 And I'm like, holy smokes, who is this guy? 141 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,340 And how did he get in here? 142 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,020 Is he involved somehow with certain spies 143 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,480 and certain Soviet people? 144 00:08:30,580 --> 00:08:33,360 I was scared he could have been somebody that 145 00:08:33,460 --> 00:08:35,820 was said to go through my house. 146 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,220 Larry wasn't home yet. 147 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,920 I go from my bedroom to the hallway, 148 00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:41,520 where I would be able to see him. 149 00:08:41,620 --> 00:08:43,720 He's not there. 150 00:08:43,820 --> 00:08:45,220 I don't know how he got in there. 151 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,420 The house had been locked. 152 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,820 There was no sound at all. 153 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,460 It was just me and him, and he had disappeared. 154 00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:56,640 I started thinking, what is this guy doing here? 155 00:08:56,740 --> 00:08:58,040 Something felt really wrong. 156 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,040 I had seen this fella a couple of times, 157 00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:07,240 and now even Larry had seen him. 158 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,600 There's no explanation other than I thought, 159 00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:13,300 we were living now with the spirits. 160 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,840 And I'm pretty spiritual, so I started believing he's not 161 00:09:15,940 --> 00:09:17,740 harming us, but he's not really there. 162 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,240 If this was like a folk legend, 163 00:09:22,340 --> 00:09:24,280 they might have unconsciously picked up on something 164 00:09:24,380 --> 00:09:27,180 that was overheard by the neighbor 165 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,420 that they might have not even been consciously aware 166 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,820 that they picked up that information or that cue. 167 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,820 People can have shared hallucinations, 168 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:42,380 where they're all interpreting the same ambiguous stimuli 169 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,880 in the same way, because we're social creatures. 170 00:09:46,980 --> 00:09:50,820 We give each other cues about how to interpret what we're seeing 171 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,320 or what we're feeling. 172 00:09:52,420 --> 00:09:55,320 Our perception of reality is a construct. 173 00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:58,420 So we're all perceiving reality in different ways, 174 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,420 and it's never a one-to-one correspondence 175 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,820 with the true physical reality. 176 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,320 And then you have to question, is it just a hallucination, 177 00:10:07,420 --> 00:10:09,320 or is it a paranormal phenomena? 178 00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:14,520 Several days later, while at work, 179 00:10:14,620 --> 00:10:19,320 Jesse receives a new top secret assignment. 180 00:10:19,420 --> 00:10:22,320 My job was very critical, and I couldn't concentrate. 181 00:10:22,420 --> 00:10:24,220 Like, I wanted to concentrate. 182 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,620 I'm feeling like I'm not getting enough sleep. 183 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,820 It works hard. 184 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,820 I'm feeling helpless, and I'm feeling scared. 185 00:10:30,820 --> 00:10:34,220 I was trained to deal with things that were, you know, dangerous, 186 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,220 but this was totally different. 187 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,220 There was nobody in the military I could tell. 188 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,220 Larry knew about it, and we both decided not to say anything 189 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,320 about it. 190 00:10:43,420 --> 00:10:46,220 They would have probably thought we were being infiltrated, 191 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,420 or we'd have to be seeing psychologists. 192 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,220 They might take us away from our job. 193 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,220 The only person I could fight it in was my mom, 194 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,220 and she was back in America, and she said, 195 00:10:57,220 --> 00:11:00,820 if you just need to start going to church, you need to pray. 196 00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:07,320 One night I come home from work, and it's late, 197 00:11:07,420 --> 00:11:08,820 and I'm ready to go to sleep. 198 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,320 Hello? 199 00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:15,820 Just saying good night. 200 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,120 This place got me spooked. 201 00:11:18,220 --> 00:11:19,120 Good night. 202 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,420 I'm just about to sleep. 203 00:11:25,420 --> 00:11:26,820 My eyes are closed. 204 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,220 I started hearing some sort of language, a chant, 205 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,820 and I was like, yes, yes, yes. 206 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,820 I opened my eyes, and I see these three-footed figures. 207 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,320 My heart was going 100 miles an hour. 208 00:11:45,420 --> 00:11:46,320 I was scared. 209 00:11:46,420 --> 00:11:49,320 I was terrified of what was going on in that house. 210 00:11:49,420 --> 00:11:52,320 This is beyond the guy walking around in my room. 211 00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:54,320 This is beyond the boy from the past. 212 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,920 This is something totally different. 213 00:12:02,220 --> 00:12:04,720 There's three-footed figures. 214 00:12:04,820 --> 00:12:06,720 They're leaning over me. 215 00:12:06,820 --> 00:12:07,920 It was terrifying. 216 00:12:08,020 --> 00:12:11,020 After encountering two harmless beings in his house 217 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,920 outside of Naples, Italy, US Naval analyst Jesse Castillo 218 00:12:16,020 --> 00:12:19,520 comes face to face with something he can't explain. 219 00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:21,520 I had never had something like this happen to me. 220 00:12:21,620 --> 00:12:22,720 I felt a bad energy. 221 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,420 It was cold in the room. 222 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,420 I know my roommate was in his room, 223 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,320 and I just couldn't even call out. 224 00:12:28,420 --> 00:12:30,320 I was totally paralyzed. 225 00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:32,320 My mouth wouldn't work. 226 00:12:32,420 --> 00:12:37,320 My arms and legs were not going to work. 227 00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:40,420 This is the first time I'd ever been afraid of something 228 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,520 dead, I thought, and I know, was paranormal. 229 00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:46,120 I was mesmerized looking at them. 230 00:12:46,220 --> 00:12:49,520 Sleep paralysis is when you're sleeping that you can't move. 231 00:12:49,620 --> 00:12:52,120 You can also experience vivid hallucination 232 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,220 or hallucinations, sort of state between sleep and wakefulness. 233 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,720 It's very hard to tell what's being internally generated 234 00:12:59,820 --> 00:13:01,420 versus what's being externally generated. 235 00:13:04,020 --> 00:13:07,920 Unwilling to live in a state of fear, Jesse is determined 236 00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:10,220 to make a change. 237 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,920 So when I tell Domenico, my neighbor, 238 00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:15,420 about the hooded figures, he wouldn't come in. 239 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,020 He just would not come into the house. 240 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,420 He was too frightened. 241 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,720 He knew there was something wrong with the house. 242 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,120 Domenico got the priest from the local church 243 00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:24,920 to come and bless the house. 244 00:13:25,020 --> 00:13:28,920 The priest says that he feels a bad presence in the house. 245 00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:33,020 He mentioned go and buy some Christian artifacts 246 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,920 like crucifix, statues, anything with Jesus on it 247 00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:39,720 to ward these spirits away. 248 00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:45,720 Statistically speaking, we have seen in every single civilization 249 00:13:45,820 --> 00:13:49,720 that there is some sort of ritual created in order to abate fear. 250 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,220 We have seen data that repetition, that this constant ritual 251 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,120 is basically like a muscle memory. 252 00:13:55,220 --> 00:13:56,020 It can be calming. 253 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,520 It's almost like mindfulness. 254 00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:03,320 The next night, I made a little temple, 255 00:14:03,420 --> 00:14:05,420 and it had all sort of crosses. 256 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,220 And I had a little Virgin Mary, and I had all this stuff there. 257 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,020 I put them all over my room to try to ward off these evil spirits. 258 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,120 I switched the priest's one at me to do. 259 00:14:16,220 --> 00:14:18,620 I was afraid of what might happen. 260 00:14:18,620 --> 00:14:20,220 But I went to sleep in my room. 261 00:14:34,220 --> 00:14:38,220 I woke up, and the chanting was going on. 262 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,420 It was soft at first, and then got heavier, 263 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,220 and then they start leaning in. 264 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,620 And they lean over me, and my face is down here, 265 00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:48,320 and they're leaning over me. 266 00:14:48,420 --> 00:14:51,920 And I just got all scared again, all frightened. 267 00:14:52,020 --> 00:14:54,720 It was terrifying. 268 00:14:54,820 --> 00:14:58,620 They were just dark entities trying to terrorize me. 269 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,320 I prayed until I fell asleep. 270 00:15:01,420 --> 00:15:06,520 I will tell you that this happened to me continuously. 271 00:15:06,620 --> 00:15:07,520 It never stopped. 272 00:15:10,220 --> 00:15:13,420 Something was connected to me, and I don't know why me, 273 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,020 because it didn't do it to Larry, my roommate. 274 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,420 I shouldn't say anything. 275 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,620 I hear you, man. 276 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,220 I just had to move. 277 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,720 I couldn't live there any longer. 278 00:15:25,820 --> 00:15:30,620 I thought that something bad would happen to me if I stayed there. 279 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,420 I moved to a town right down the road. 280 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,720 I slept every night, and nothing ever happened. 281 00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:43,020 I believe that house has a story of its own 282 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,720 that I don't know what it is. 283 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,220 I think it dates back to World War II, 284 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,820 and something happened with the boy, 285 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,020 something happened with the man walking through. 286 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,220 I don't know if there were Germans, 287 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,020 there were the hooded people, but something bad happened there. 288 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,320 There's a lot of people in the military 289 00:16:05,420 --> 00:16:07,920 that have experienced unexplained phenomenons, 290 00:16:08,020 --> 00:16:11,020 but things declassify after years. 291 00:16:11,020 --> 00:16:16,220 So I felt like now it would be OK to speak generally 292 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,420 about some of the things that happened to me. 293 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,320 This is a story that's been with me for 40 years. 294 00:16:22,420 --> 00:16:25,420 If people believe me, great. 295 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,820 If people don't believe me, that's OK too. 296 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,320 But I know it happened. 297 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,120 There's a presence there. 298 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,220 You don't know what that presence is. 299 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,820 You just know it lingers. 300 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,920 In 1989, after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, 301 00:16:51,020 --> 00:16:55,120 vacated outposts in the region became occupied by the Taliban, 302 00:16:55,220 --> 00:16:58,120 one of which became known as Observation Post Rock, 303 00:16:58,220 --> 00:17:01,520 or OP Rock, located in the village of Garmiser. 304 00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:05,220 Twenty years later, when US Marines seized the outpost, 305 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,920 units soon realized they were patrolling a graveyard. 306 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,920 Now inhabited by a ghostly enemy, no one saw coming. 307 00:17:13,020 --> 00:17:15,620 The rock wasn't anything that I've ever experienced. 308 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,720 Death is right around the corner. 309 00:17:27,020 --> 00:17:32,220 In 2008 in Afghanistan, Observation Post Rock, or OP Rock, 310 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,320 served as a military outpost for both US and British forces. 311 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,820 Over the years, the rock earned an unusual reputation. 312 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,920 Some troops referred to it as the haunted observation point. 313 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,420 My name is Jose Herrera. 314 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,120 In 2009, while serving in operation and during freedom, 315 00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:52,620 I was a Lance Corporal. 316 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,520 It's an elite fighting force. 317 00:17:54,620 --> 00:17:57,120 The Marine Corps trains you for the worst of the worst. 318 00:17:57,220 --> 00:18:02,620 Does not prepare you for the anomalies that take place in the battlefield. 319 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,320 And there are a lot of anomalies. 320 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:11,320 Most of the men in my family participated in every great conflict 321 00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:14,720 the United States has conducted since World War II. 322 00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:18,520 Now service the country means taking care of my own citizens. 323 00:18:18,620 --> 00:18:19,920 It is a lot of pressure. 324 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,420 In 2009, Jose is deployed to Afghanistan to help drive 325 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,420 insurgents out of the Helmand province, a Taliban strongman. 326 00:18:35,420 --> 00:18:38,420 Our mission was to locate and destroy the enemy. 327 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,920 We're there to kill. 328 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,420 After arriving in Helmand province, Jose and his squad 329 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,720 are met with violent resistance while on patrol. 330 00:18:47,820 --> 00:18:51,120 We had made a vote to push further south. 331 00:18:51,220 --> 00:18:55,720 We start moving forward across this field and this field is tilt. 332 00:18:55,820 --> 00:18:57,020 There's a lot of farmers. 333 00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:59,120 Very lush environment. 334 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:01,420 It's blistering hot. 335 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,220 We get halfway through. 336 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,720 And I just see flash, flash, flash. 337 00:19:10,820 --> 00:19:11,920 My adrenaline hit. 338 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,820 RPG rounds hitting. 339 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,520 It's the first time that I've ever been ambushed like that. 340 00:19:20,620 --> 00:19:24,520 Communications were down and it wasn't until 30 seconds into that 341 00:19:24,620 --> 00:19:26,520 that I was able to get through. 342 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,520 It wasn't until 30 seconds into that I heard someone's been hit. 343 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,520 Vincent had what's called a sucking chest wound. 344 00:19:37,620 --> 00:19:40,020 The round entered below the collarbone. 345 00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:42,620 No easy way. 346 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,820 Say it with a tore everything apart inside. 347 00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:52,120 Suffering a death, it does something to the atmosphere, 348 00:19:52,220 --> 00:19:53,120 but Marines don't quit. 349 00:19:53,220 --> 00:19:54,620 You just keep fighting until you die. 350 00:19:55,620 --> 00:19:59,920 After Vincent had died, I got the orders from my squad leader. 351 00:20:00,020 --> 00:20:01,520 You're going to OP Rock. 352 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,920 The US Marines called it OP Rock, which is an ancient town 353 00:20:07,020 --> 00:20:10,120 that the Americans turn into a military base. 354 00:20:10,220 --> 00:20:12,320 One of the most important to protect the region. 355 00:20:12,420 --> 00:20:15,520 The Rock is an elevated position which kind of guards it 356 00:20:15,620 --> 00:20:19,520 and gives you line of sight over endless valley. 357 00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:21,620 Nobody quite knows its origins. 358 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,520 Medieval would be a good guess. 359 00:20:25,620 --> 00:20:27,620 It has been the graveyard of empires. 360 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,620 Literally centuries worth of people have fought wars there. 361 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,220 Many of whom have died. 362 00:20:33,220 --> 00:20:34,220 I was pissed. 363 00:20:35,020 --> 00:20:36,520 That's the last place I want to be. 364 00:20:36,620 --> 00:20:38,020 I want to be on the ground. 365 00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:39,420 I want to go hunt. 366 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,620 I want to get revenge. 367 00:20:41,820 --> 00:20:43,420 And there I am. 368 00:20:44,820 --> 00:20:46,220 Going to OP Rock. 369 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,720 Just conducting regular combat patrols. 370 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,620 The thing about OP Rock is you're very, very exposed. 371 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,420 It's just a large mound of dirt. 372 00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:58,020 When you go on top, it's got two posts. 373 00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:00,520 It's got location where you can store food. 374 00:21:00,620 --> 00:21:03,220 And it's got trenches in it in case you have to move around. 375 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,120 It was a buffer zone and it was also a vehicle checkpoint. 376 00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:08,220 Any type of movement we could see. 377 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,620 You're literally on watch 24-7 even if you're not behind a gun 378 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,220 because death is right around the corner. 379 00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:20,820 Being at OP Rock gives you kind of a mood that something's off. 380 00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:26,420 As time went on, that's when all of it started getting really, really strange. 381 00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:30,820 When a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event, 382 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,920 their brain goes into a kind of survival mode. 383 00:21:34,020 --> 00:21:37,120 The brain will switch off certain parts, it will turn on other parts, 384 00:21:37,220 --> 00:21:40,420 it will heighten our senses and it releases adrenaline. 385 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,920 So you take in all these effectors, being intense heat, being in combat, fear of death, 386 00:21:46,020 --> 00:21:48,920 it can really affect perception of reality. 387 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,720 I'm thinking that OP Rock is a strange place 388 00:21:52,820 --> 00:21:55,520 and that things are getting a lot more weird. 389 00:21:55,620 --> 00:21:58,720 As a Marine, I'm trained to hone in on my senses. 390 00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:02,520 They give us an advantage when you're behind enemy lines. 391 00:22:02,620 --> 00:22:04,920 My assignment was to stand post. 392 00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:06,320 So we patrol. 393 00:22:06,420 --> 00:22:07,520 You got to perform. 394 00:22:07,620 --> 00:22:09,020 You have to be effective. 395 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:13,520 On one evening, to our southernmost sector, 396 00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:16,120 there's three wide orbs that appear together. 397 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,220 Above a tree line, the orbs were slow moving. 398 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,520 We're talking maybe the size of a car. 399 00:22:22,820 --> 00:22:27,720 You look at something like that and you feel like, okay, like, what is that? 400 00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:32,220 The orbs that I saw weren't hallucinations. 401 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,220 I wasn't tired. 402 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:38,220 I wasn't experiencing any serious traumatic incidences at that moment. 403 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,620 If you see orbs hanging in the sky, 404 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,420 there's ice crystals in the air that can create weird effects. 405 00:22:44,420 --> 00:22:47,220 There's light bouncing around everywhere during the day. 406 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,520 And at times like dusk and dawn, 407 00:22:49,620 --> 00:22:53,220 there could even be something reflecting light from a distance. 408 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,820 You have something at a very high altitude like weather balloons, right? 409 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,520 They could reflect light from over the horizon 410 00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:03,320 and make them appear to be a source of illumination in the sky. 411 00:23:04,420 --> 00:23:06,820 What was unusual about this particular phenomenon 412 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,820 that sort of makes you think that it's intelligence behind it 413 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,320 is that these orbs are in sync in a way. 414 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,320 So it could be some sort of technology. 415 00:23:15,420 --> 00:23:17,620 I leave it unknown until it's known. 416 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,920 Confused by what he just saw, Jose hunts for answers. 417 00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:27,120 We have our night vision goggles which are P.V.S. 14s. 418 00:23:27,220 --> 00:23:31,520 And I look through them to see these things and nothing appears. 419 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,720 And I can't explain that. 420 00:23:36,020 --> 00:23:38,320 With the naked eye, you're looking at visible light. 421 00:23:38,420 --> 00:23:40,720 Typically light that's emitted by an object 422 00:23:40,820 --> 00:23:43,220 or light that is bouncing off of an object. 423 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,720 Night vision goggles are sensitive to a different type of light, infrared light. 424 00:23:47,820 --> 00:23:49,720 And we call that thermal light 425 00:23:49,820 --> 00:23:52,220 because it depends on the temperature of the object. 426 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,220 So if there is some object that has the exact same temperature of the background, 427 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,720 it'll be invisible to you. 428 00:23:58,820 --> 00:24:00,320 It's like a constant illumination. 429 00:24:00,420 --> 00:24:02,220 It's like it's one flat thing. 430 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,220 As a marine, brotherhood, honor, courage, commitment, 431 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,720 I mean the most of me. 432 00:24:08,820 --> 00:24:11,320 But now I am getting a little freaked out about 433 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,820 what this place means, what's going on there. 434 00:24:15,820 --> 00:24:18,320 It is the strangest place that I have been to. 435 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,320 The following day, I was headed back to rejoin my squad. 436 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,320 As we're moving out, we're going toward that area that had those orbs. 437 00:24:34,820 --> 00:24:38,820 I told my squad leader that I had a bad feeling that we should stop. 438 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,320 And before he could respond back, an IED goes off. 439 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:55,820 Marine Lance Corporal Jose Herrera is stationed at a US military outpost in Afghanistan, 440 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,320 known as the Rock. 441 00:24:57,820 --> 00:25:01,820 While out with his squad, he encounters a strange phenomenon. 442 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,320 I told my squad leader that I had a bad feeling. 443 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,320 And before he could respond back, an IED goes off. 444 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,820 The only thing that I could do was dive into the dirt. 445 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,320 You know, I'm freaked out. 446 00:25:15,420 --> 00:25:17,320 Luckily for him, he survives. 447 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,320 I believe he got a concussion from that. 448 00:25:22,820 --> 00:25:26,320 I'm thinking that all of this is connected to the Rock. 449 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,820 But what's it mean? 450 00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:36,320 The three orbs that I did see are connected to the IED that went off. 451 00:25:36,820 --> 00:25:38,320 It was a warning. 452 00:25:39,820 --> 00:25:44,820 After surviving another near-death experience, Jose returns to the Rock. 453 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,820 But he can't shake the growing feeling that something is very wrong. 454 00:25:51,820 --> 00:25:59,320 Typical day is either you're on post or you're trying to burn time either by playing cards, 455 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,820 or maybe reading a book. 456 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,320 You're doing whatever you can to burn the time. 457 00:26:04,820 --> 00:26:09,320 Border brings on hunger, so you're going to go looking for good MREs. 458 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:17,820 MREs, or meals ready to eat, are designed to sustain soldiers in military training and military operations. 459 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,820 There is this opening, and in this cave, we stored our MREs. 460 00:26:25,820 --> 00:26:30,820 It's dark, and there is this horrible pungent smell. 461 00:26:30,820 --> 00:26:32,320 I can't explain. 462 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,320 It smells like something had died there. 463 00:26:37,820 --> 00:26:39,320 I feel clumps in the ground. 464 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,320 Like, there's something that's uneven. 465 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:50,320 I start kicking stuff around, digging stuff up, and there on the ground, there's bones. 466 00:26:51,820 --> 00:26:53,320 Probably human. 467 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,320 I'm freaked out what I found. 468 00:26:56,820 --> 00:26:58,320 It could be a graveyard. 469 00:26:58,820 --> 00:26:59,820 I grew up religious. 470 00:26:59,820 --> 00:27:03,820 This is like the desecration of something that's sacred and holy. 471 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,320 Jose returns to his fellow MREs to reveal what he discovered. 472 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,820 Only then does he learn about the Rock's chilling history. 473 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,820 My understanding of OP Rock was, it was a burial ground. 474 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:31,320 For dead Russians, Afghans, and prior conflicts that took place there in the early years. 475 00:27:31,820 --> 00:27:37,320 It is a collection of all the dead embodied in that mountain. 476 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,320 And now, when I'm thinking of the unexplained experiences that I went through, 477 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:47,320 the bad feeling I had, and the three whores in the night sky, I was something that is paranormal. 478 00:27:47,820 --> 00:27:55,320 Over the next few days, Jose searches for answers, while still overcome by the Rock's unsettling atmosphere. 479 00:27:55,820 --> 00:28:01,820 Throughout my rotations, I get these waves, these whiffs of the smell of death. 480 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,320 All my previous deployments, this has never happened. 481 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,320 The smell of death never followed me. 482 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,320 But on that particular deployment, it did. 483 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,320 And it only happened when I was at the Rock. 484 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,320 Which tells me that it is paranormal. 485 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:23,320 I also believe that the things that were happening to me at OP Rock were warnings. 486 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:29,320 This presence followed me on patrols, and it assisted with our operations. 487 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,320 I called it a sixth sense. 488 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,320 A few days later, Jose's sixth sense is put to the test. 489 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,320 We're on a foot patrol. We're moving across our western front. 490 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,320 We're actually in new territory. 491 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,320 I had a sense that something was about to happen, and I followed my gut, and I told my squad leader, 492 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,320 we need to stop right now. 493 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,320 And the moment we did, an IED goes off. 494 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:04,320 And the moment I trusted my senses, and I'd say probably a 10 man team, including myself. 495 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,320 Out of that experience, I embraced my sixth sense, my precognition. 496 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:14,320 I believe I experienced these things because of the death and suffering that had taken place at the Rock. 497 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:21,320 But with recent declassification efforts within government, I feel very, very comfortable coming forward with saying what happened to me. 498 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,320 I hope that others throughout the military come forward and share their experiences. 499 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,320 I felt like I was in danger of being killed. 500 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,320 I didn't know how to explain this to anybody. 501 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,320 It was the most terrifying experience I could ever imagine. 502 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:05,320 As World War II escalated, Allied pilots were urgently needed to combat the vicious Nazi bombing campaign across Europe. 503 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:14,320 So in 1940, to meet the growing demand for skilled pilots, the Royal Canadian Air Force built 15-wing Moose Jaw, 504 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,320 also known as CFB Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. 505 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:24,320 The flat terrain and moderate weather made the base an ideal place to learn how to fly. 506 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:31,320 But accidents happened, and some pilots in training crashed to their deaths. 507 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:37,320 Over the years, the base has become the site of mysterious and unsettling events. 508 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:44,320 I kept the stories to myself. I mean, who's going to believe you in my line of work? 509 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,320 You'll seem like a mental case. 510 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:59,320 My name's Auburn White, and I was a military police officer in the Canadian Armed Forces for almost eight years. 511 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,320 Being a woman in the Canadian Forces is different. 512 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:14,320 We might not be as strong in some senses, but we have to show our peers that we can handle all aspects of the job. 513 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:19,320 And I've never had a male counterpart say otherwise. 514 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:28,320 To serve your country, you have to realize that your life will be put on hold for a higher purpose. 515 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:35,320 You have to have integrity, and you have to be able to adapt to very challenging situations. 516 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:44,320 In 2008, after a seven-month tour in Afghanistan, Auburn is posted to 15-wing Moose Jaw. 517 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:50,320 Just like a regular police officer, you would be expected to go to medical calls. 518 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:58,320 You could be going to a vehicle accident, a domestic dispute, basically anything under the sun. 519 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:04,320 You're always going to be faced with something that's completely different that you're maybe not trained for. 520 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:10,320 In 15-wing Moose Jaw, I lived in the PMQs, which are the personal married quarters. 521 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:17,320 Pretty run-down, old, detached, semi-detached. There's some apartments. 522 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,320 After work, I usually just get together with friends. 523 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:30,320 The people there were super nice, and there was always house parties and things to do. 524 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:36,320 This particular night, my friend Andrew and his wife had me over at their place. 525 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,320 He's an air traffic controller. He's just by the book kind of guy. 526 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,320 We were just having fun, playing board games, and then Andrew just said, 527 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,320 well, let's have a séance, and I'm like, oh, what? 528 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:54,320 I don't know what a séance entails. I had never done a séance before. 529 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:05,320 So Andrew turned off all the lights, lit a candle, and he just asked if there are any spirits. 530 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:11,320 Within this room, can you come forward and speak with us? 531 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:18,320 And I felt like something shifted. He was not himself at all. 532 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:23,320 I was really freaked out. He did not move. His eyes never moved. 533 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:29,320 Like his eyes weren't his own. They were evil, and they were dark. 534 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:38,320 I felt like something was wrong. I didn't know what to do, and even his wife, she didn't know what to do. 535 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:47,320 She had never seen him like that. His gaze was just fixated on me, and I felt panicked inside. 536 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:52,320 I was thinking, is he playing a joke on me? But he was not a guy to screw around like that. 537 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,320 The voice was not him. It seemed different. 538 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,320 I'm training to be a pilot. What are you doing here? 539 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,320 He said he was a pilot, and I don't know what his fixation on me was. 540 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:12,320 Andrew was completely gone. I was literally frozen, and I was just waiting for Andrew to come back. 541 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:17,320 Within a few short moments, but it felt like a lot longer. 542 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:23,320 Andrew came out of this trance. He looks like he's seen a ghost. 543 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:30,320 I really don't know if it can be explained or not. It's so weird, but you have witnesses. 544 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:35,320 You're thinking, this is real. This is not a dream. This is happening. 545 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:41,320 Rattled, Auburn heads home and tries to sleep off this bizarre experience. 546 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:47,320 I'm just laying there, and I'm barely asleep. 547 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:54,320 And I hear like a crash in my house. 548 00:34:54,320 --> 00:35:03,320 I jumped out of that bed so fast. It was such a loud noise that I'm thinking somebody's breaking into my house. 549 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:10,320 The front doors locked. Everything is shut. No windows are open. 550 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:17,320 Nothing had fallen off the walls. They don't have anything that would make that noise. 551 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:27,320 Something was there. The hair on my arms was sticking up. I felt like I was not alone. 552 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:35,320 And then I see a shadow. At the corner of my eye, it was fast. It was there and then it was gone. 553 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:40,320 And I don't know what the shadow is and why is it in my home. 554 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:54,320 I'm somebody that's very rational. I don't have an answer for what it could have been and what its intention was. 555 00:35:54,320 --> 00:36:00,320 I wasn't at a point where I was so tired that I could have been hallucinating. 556 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:09,320 Following these disturbing events, Auburn learns she will soon be deployed to Wolsey Barracks in Ontario. 557 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,320 I am having my last sleep in my bed there. 558 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:27,320 And all of a sudden, I felt like I was having a dream, but I was floating over myself. 559 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:41,320 I was levitating. I felt like I left my body. It's probably the scariest experience a human could ever experience. 560 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:53,320 I was awake and completely frozen and alone with no one to help me. 561 00:36:54,320 --> 00:37:04,320 On her last night stationed at 15 Wing Moose Jaw, Canadian Military Police Officer Auburn White endures a terrifying out-of-body experience. 562 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:16,320 As military police, I am trained to be factual. I'm looking for facts, evidence, everything that makes sense. 563 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:24,320 This made no sense. When my body joins, it's like a jolt. 564 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:38,320 I can't move my body. I am completely conscious of what is going on in my room, but I don't have the ability to scream, to move my limbs. 565 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:52,320 To get out of there, I realized it's not a dream because something is in my room. I'm blinking and my heart rate is through the roof. 566 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,320 I feel an energy of something watching me. 567 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:09,320 Then I felt something was creeping on the floor in the room. 568 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:21,320 I heard this creak from the floors, and all of a sudden this shadow was at the foot of my bed. 569 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:27,320 I can tell it's a man. It wasn't like seeing a human, but it was like seeing features. 570 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,320 There was something sinister about his eyes. 571 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:40,320 This shadow man had dark eyes, and they reminded me of Andrew's eyes when he had the same eyes. 572 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:51,320 I cannot move my head, and I can hear, but I cannot speak, and I cannot yell, and I cannot move. 573 00:38:54,320 --> 00:39:03,320 And he was crawling up onto my body, and he sat right on top of my chest, and I could not breathe. 574 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:09,320 It was just this heavy, heavy, heavy feeling on me. 575 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:22,320 I am trained to fight. I'm trained to defend myself, and I had no ability to do so. 576 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,320 All I wanted to do was scream. 577 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:36,320 Tears coming through, just dripping that play there. 578 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,320 This thing was going to kill me. 579 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:53,320 All cultures have documented some type of sleep paralysis, where you're paralyzed, but you're awake, and you have some incubus or demon-like figure on your chest. 580 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:59,320 40% of people experience stip during their lifetime, and that doesn't mean that they experience it all the time. 581 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:07,320 They might have just experienced it once, so that one time you don't have any idea what it is, and you might associate it with something paranormal. 582 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:33,320 This shadow man disappears. I realize that I could move my fingers, and then I could move my toes, and then I could sit up. 583 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:44,320 I feel like something attached to me from Andrew's house, from that seance. I was scared to be not home. 584 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,320 I had to get out of there, like ASAP. 585 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,320 I felt threatened. My life was threatened. 586 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:03,320 You can choose to believe my story or not, but I was terrified. 587 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:15,320 I definitely believed that there are paranormal things out there. Something not human was targeting me. 588 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:30,320 The spirit figure in Moose Draw could have been a pilot that had passed away many years ago, decades ago. It could have been something more sinister. 589 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:44,320 I don't know what the intention of this spirit was. I felt like I was being killed in my sleep. Having something like that happen is not something I would ever wish on anyone. 590 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:49,320 It was a nightmare. The experiences changed me for life.
