Every soldier has a story. Some, they try to forget. Others, they can’t stop thinking about – stories that no one else would believe happened. Something that terrified them. Something they cannot explain.

Hosted by Marine Corp Reconnaissance veteran, Luke Lamana, this is Wartime Stories. A weekly podcast that is a mix of horror, mystery, and awe inspiring tales. Where the strange, dark & mysterious meets the battlefield and beyond. 

New episodes every Friday.

More than a decade after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, American troops continued to encounter reminders of the war that came before them — abandoned outposts, rusting vehicles, and battlefields long reclaimed by the mountains. But according to some servicemen, not everything left behind was made of steel and concrete.

Drawn from firsthand accounts submitted by U.S. troops, these stories describe strange voices, unexplained encounters, and experiences connected to the remnants of the Soviet-Afghan War that continue to defy explanation.

Fort Polk’s Joint Readiness Training Center is designed to prepare soldiers for war — long nights in the woods, simulated combat, and some of the most demanding field exercises in the military. But among those who’ve trained there, the base has earned another reputation entirely.

Across decades of stories shared by soldiers and OPFOR alike, strange encounters in "the Box" continue to surface — sightings, screams in the woods, and experiences tied to something many troops have come to know as the Box Witch.

Fallujah became one of the most violent battlegrounds of the Iraq War — a city scarred by insurgency, urban combat, and years of relentless fighting. But for some of the Marines and soldiers who operated there, the strangest experiences had nothing to do with the enemy.

Drawn from firsthand accounts shared by servicemen, these stories describe unsettling encounters in abandoned buildings, isolated outposts, and the ruins of the city itself — moments that still defy explanation years later.

In the opening days of World War I, British forces found themselves outnumbered and in retreat after the Battle of Mons. But in the weeks that followed, strange reports began to circulate — stories of something appearing on the battlefield at the moment it was needed most.

Drawn from wartime accounts, publications, and firsthand testimony, the legend of the Angels of Mons raises questions about what soldiers believed they saw — and how those stories spread in the aftermath of one of the war’s earliest and most desperate battles.

Along the U.S.–Mexico border, soldiers and agents operate in some of the most remote and unforgiving terrain in North America. But for those working long nights in the desert, not every encounter can be explained by the environment alone.

From isolated observation posts to temporary military installations, multiple accounts describe strange sounds, shadowy figures, and encounters that seem tied to both regional folklore and something far less understood.

Skinwalkers, Shadows and Screams

In a remote training area in Croatia, soldiers on night patrol reported a sudden and complete failure of their equipment — radios, lights, and vehicles all going dark without warning. What followed was an encounter that none of them could explain.

Based on the account of a combat engineer who was there, the incident raises questions about what may have passed over the training grounds that night — and why those involved were warned never to speak about it.

World-renowned storyteller and retired US Navy SEAL John B. Allen (MrBallen) is well known for his fascination with all things strange, dark and mysterious. As it so happens, John has his own deeply disturbing experience with the paranormal. Something that, in spite of all his attempts to find an explanation for it, haunts him to this day.

John recalls a trip to a remote cabin in the mountains of New Hampshire — a place that seemed quiet and isolated, but quickly became the setting for something far more unsettling. Over the course of three nights, a series of unexplained events left a lasting impression on everyone inside the cabin, raising questions about who or what may have been moving through the house after dark.

From display halls to storage rooms and restored vehicles, staff and visitors alike have described strange sounds, unexplained movement, and encounters that raise questions about what may still linger within these collections.

Strange Things in Museums

Camp Horno is a familiar training ground for many West Coast Marines — a place defined by steep terrain, coastal fog, and long nights in the field. But for some who’ve trained there, the experience left behind more than just physical exhaustion.

Across multiple accounts from different units and years, Marines have described encounters in the hills, fog, and barracks that defy easy explanation — moments that suggest something may be lingering just beyond the limits of what they can see.
