I work with Marines that went to Parris Island for boot camp, I'll ask them if they have heard any stories.

I was at one point searching for the red pill in my medical record and I admit I made it about halfway through the jacket before I had to stop. I frequent the VA every couple of months and have to bring the record with me which always gets shuffled out of order. I suppose I could give it another try sometime this weekend, but damn I hate doing it. Some else also mentioned that it may be ibuprofen, which I am pretty certain it was not. Like it was said, it is handed like candy and people always make jokes about it. I was constantly given 800 mg? of ibuprofen which is rather large white pill. I did notice that others actually received a smaller pill size than myself. I just about always had a case of cough drops and an inhaler with me while in EHP.

I went to Navy boot camp in Great Lakes, Ill. I was supposed to leave on September 11, 2001 but for obvious reasons we did not get our flight out. I left a week later after the FAA reopened the skies. Pretty crazy huh?
Fast forward a couple of months later. My division was set to graduate pretty soon and we didn't have a whole lot to do towards the end. We were sent to an old barracks that wasn't in use and from what we could tell, it hadn't been used in a really long time. Some of use were sent in to strip the tile floor to prepare for a waxing. There was around 8-10 of use in this one compartment, just talking and sitting around with greenie weenies and scrubbing the floor. We kept hearing the springs from the empty beds squeak, and they were pretty close to us. We also kept hearing the doors open and close, but every time we looked to see who was coming in there was no one there. We just looked at each other and someone was nominated (aka volun-told) to go check out what's going on. To be honest, we had heard a few stories about the old barracks and thought someone was messing with us. We were discussing how we were going to scare our fellow ship mate when he came running back, white as a sheet. When we asked him what happened, he said he thought he saw someone out of the corner of his eye and immediately felt something touch him on the shoulder. He practically pulled us out of the compartment, and as we were making our way out of the building we all heard the fire door open and slam shut. That's when we heard someone near us talking but there was no one there. We ran out and found the rest of our division in front of the building. Everyone was there, including our recruit division commander (RDC). I guess we all looked scared because he asked us why we all looked like that and why we ran out. We told him what happened and I thought he was going to yell at us and send us back in but he had this really serious look on his face as we all told him what we were experiencing. When we were done he he was quiet for a minute and said "I've heard the stories but I didn't think they were true. Okay let's get out of here". So we left and went back to our own compartment. The parting gift though was as were formed up and marched away, I looked back and thought I saw a shadow in front of one of the windows of the compartment we were in.

Oh, no problem. Your stories were a lot more entertaining than mine in my opinion. I have a few more I can share, but I'll share them in the thread in your signature.

WOW! That's fascinating! Do they think this is residual energy from that site? Do you know if anyone has seen ghosts moving around the place?
Those poor souls! I hope they have moved out of their death state! What a terrible way to die and be stuck there!
Thank you for sharing that.
Just out of curiosity, where are you seeing this thread? I thought it was down in the archives by now.
I'm happy people are still seeing it somewhere.
I did not heed his warning and went behind the racks on the other side of the squad bay across from my rack. I moved down a couple of racks looking for anybody running around.
At this point, I saw several shadow people running behind the racks on the side where my rack is( thereby being the opposite side of the squad bay I was currently on). I was dumbfounded as I watched these shadow people run at full speed THROUGH one another. That is when I realized I was not playing with recruits.
I then sense that someone is off to my left so I quickly glance over so that I do not get "killed" by standard of the game. I saw a shadow person run from the second or so last rack on my side straight at me. I was very... as this person was dead silent, running at me, and no features whatsoever. I was completely frozen. As it came closer to me, it tripped over me( I was crouched down)/ through me.
As time passed, more and more "odd" recruits joined the platoon, so many funny stories. These were the paranormal sensitive type of people that I am speaking of. The more paranormal inclined people that joined, the more things would heat up.
