AshleyHOST
But this veteran says that 20 years ago, they were stationed at a base that is one of the oldest bases in the US that is still active.
AshleyHOST
And they were a welder and they were mostly dealing with the maintenance of some of the older buildings on site, as well as general base maintenance.
AshleyHOST
And it was a general rumor around the base that The base was haunted because a lot of bloody historical battles had happened there, but Veteran remained skeptical and was always surprised when some of the older people who were stationed there refused to go in certain areas on the base or avoided rooms in certain older buildings due to what they described as weird experiences.
AshleyHOST
Veteran says that their perspective was that the paranormal was possible but that they had personally never experienced anything at this point in their life.
AshleyHOST
There's a historical mansion on site that was used for visiting generals and high-ranking officials and one day Veteran was in the kitchen of this historical building fixing a tile when they suddenly passed out unprompted.
AshleyHOST
There was no seeming reason that they should have passed out because they were feeling fine but one minute they were normal and the next minute they were on the floor.
AshleyHOST
And they woke up in sort of a haze and they just kept hearing this voice in their head saying, you'll be sad, but you'll be okay.
AshleyHOST
But after some time, the veteran received a notification that their squadron had been hit by enemy fire.
