A MYSTERIOUS PHONE CALL
(K. Grant)
I am a soldier in the US Army and was recently deployed to the Iraqi desert with a medical unit in support of OIF. We were in the middle of nowhere in these abandoned buildings. Several people have experienced "strange phenomena" while we were there, but this is my experience. One night, while I was on guard duty, our duty phone rang. My battle buddy and I assumed it was an emergency and someone was hurt, being that it was almost 2AM. I picked up the receiver and before I said anything, to my surprise, there were several voices talking at once and all in Arabic. They sounded frantic, but they also sounded like they were talking through cotton. I assumed it was a wrong number and hung up the phone. My battle buddy and I looked at each other strangely and I recorded the phone call in our log. The rest of the night went on without incident and we were relieved at 08:00. The soldiers replacing us went through the log and questioned the phone call incident. I told them what happened and they looked at me like I was crazy. I didn't understand until I looked at the phone cord behind the table. It wasn't plugged in! Rumor has it that the place we were staying is where a lot of people were murdered at one time, but I don't know for sure. I do know that it was a very creepy place and I'm glad to finally be home!

THE UNSEEN
(Ricky)
While I was stationed in Iraq, I was a medic that was placed at an air base. We took over the clinic/hospital when we arrived in May of 2003. I was with the 3acr and had many terrible experiences there. I wasn’t the only one either. One night my buddy Ian was sleeping (we had 4 man rooms) and at the time, there was only one other guy in there with him, David. David had on headphones while trying to go to sleep. Well my buddy was just lying there when he felt as if David threw something at him. So, Ian said he picked up a sock or something and threw it back at David. Well, David got mad and wanted to know why Ian did that. Ian responded "To get you back for throwing something at me". David called him an idiot and put his headphones back on. Ian then had something thrown at him again and again and then returned the favor back to David. David got mad and wanted to know why he was doing that. Surprised, Ian asked if he (David) really threw something at him. David just looked at him funny, then went back to lie down. Ian then turned the light on and after he lay down, he said it was like someone threw his legs up in the air….but no one was around him. He told David what happened and they ended up pulling their cots together and sleeping with the light on.
