One night, after a big night on the beer, someone in our group suggested breaking in and having a look round. Beered up on brave pills, three of us were up for it. The door was only secured by a padlock which was easily opened by Taff ***** size 10 master key. As soon as we got in the door, I nearly shat myself on the spot. A geezer in full WW2 pilots uniform was stood in the corner, just pointing at us. He had a horrible look on his face. I'll never forget it for as long as I leave.

It was horrific. I could feel my heart about to jump out of my mouth, when Taff shouted,

"It's Stinky Smythe, the storeman from 256."

And it was too. Seemed like he'd had a blanket thieving scam going for a couple of years. He'd kept everyone away from his stash with tales of the ghosts of dead aviators.

And he'd have got away with it too, if it wasn't for us meddling, pissed up arrseholes.

........did you have a dog called scooby with you

It's still all shiite. No one has ever had a life changing experiance from it. And I've never had the hairs on the back of my head stand up, and I'm a god fearing Catholic!! I'd stay anywhere considered evil to prove wrong......

A couple of years back during on an annual camp in Gibraltar, during a tunnel training package, a number of the local Gib Reg intimated that there were parts of the tunnel system that they would try to avoid going into if at all possible! The two names that I recall hearing on several occasions were Green Lane Magazine and also the REME Workshops down the southern end of the Rock. I belive that during WW2 part of a tunnel collapsed at Green Lane Magazine, killing some Canadian troops.

Never saw anything myself, but the tunnels certainly are pretty atmospheric and you do find that there are some places that your senses tell you that you don't want to linger too long!

The only other haunted barracks story that I know of concerns Cultybraggen camp and was something to do with an Italian officer who hung himself there when it was used as a POW camp during WW2.

Culty.... Welcome to Camp 22, chappie got hung by hardcore SS types on hearing that the war was going wrong for old Adolf and his chums.

They took his comments as sacriledge and hanged the beggar in the bogs. Forbez knows which shed it was.... the cultybunker has a certain atmosphere to it too.... supposedly it was the Regional Seat of Government in case of Nuclear war.

Definitely something strange at Trenchard Lines.... man in WWII airman's kit walks around camp at night. Also the bust of Lord Trenchard in the officer's mess spooks dogs who bark ferociously at it at night for no reason.

I've seen a pony dressed up in uniform in Palace Barracks, looks like it was from the 1900's or something.

let's get this one going again

More years ago than I like to think of, a bunch of us were broke and bored in Carter Bks, Bulford. Someone suggested that we had a go at making an Ouija Board and trying to see if we could contact anyone, or anything.
So, we made up a board, marked letters and a "Yes" and "No" on it and got to it. After a while, my best mate said that he was even more bored and was therefore off to crash his swede - the rest of us carried on. Well eventually the old glass started to vibrate under our fingers, so we reckoned that we were getting somewhere. We asked questions - as you do - and got what seemed like answers, although for the life of me ,I can't remember what any of them were, right up until the last one, that is.
We asked whatever it was if it could contact someone outside of the circle, the answer was "Yes", - so we said "On ye go, Big Man!", not expecting anything. It was then that my mate sat bolt upright in bed, shrieking "No, no".
The board went one way,the glass another and we sat there almost crapping ourselves. We never did find out what it was that wakened my mate up, and we never did mess about with Ouija Boards again, either!

Very strange.

Yep Gib, during an Ex I was running around blatting the young toms and then off into the darkness. Up by the "Hospital" I waited for a patrol, opened up and ran into the tunnel to escape, only I didnt get very far as I approached a large rock to climb over I felt very cold and as if I were being watched.

I kidd you not.
I began to edge forward, I stood on something which was not rock and decided to bang on the torch for moral support. (we had been using cylumes) I was standing on an old wreath! I had arrived at the site of a roof collapse and had been just about to climb over the Graves as it were.
Speaking to the other DS we all agreed that at various stages we had intended to escape that way but on arrival, found it impossible to do so for no other reason than the feeling of impending doom

Later we got a full tour from the Gib Gegt who told us all the stories etc, glad they told us after the Ex as it would take a very brave lad to go back on his own afterwards.
