Babenhausen - Babenhausen Kaserne - Cannoneer club - Feelings of someone touching you, hands seen moving through sheets.

Babenhausen - Babenhausen Kaserne - Museum - lights turning off and on by themselves, voices in the basement. Training area- soldiers in Nazi uniforms have been seen. Barracks- footsteps when no one is there, phone calls of a woman "talking backwards", toilets flush by themselves. A witch was hung in the local town during the 1800's. It is thought her ghost seduced and killed 5 soldiers in the early 1900's for they were never seen again. Also present day soldiers say a woman’s voice is heard talking backwards on some of the phones in the barracks.

Belgium - Chiny - La Ferme Noir (The Black Farm) - The farm is part of the Belgian Boy scouts' Hostel Ring and is regularly occupied by visiting scout troops. People sleeping in the third floor dormitory (the former hayloft) are woken up at night by a figure in full boy scout uniform that asks them for a "light to guide my way". The figure looks solid enough but its face is always in shadow. When somebody provides a light as asked, the ghost walks towards the staircase and disappears. It seems that, some years ago, a boy scout missed the stairs in the dark and plunged to his death. I have met the ghost myself and the innkeeper told me that it appears once or twice a year.

Bernkastel-Kues - Cemetery - The White Lady of Bernkastel-Kues - Several witnesses told about a ghost on the local cemetery : a lady with long white dress gliding from one grave to another without touching the ground. Sometimes she is crying. A hunter, terrified about the creature, shot on it. The next day he was brought to military hospital in Koblenz with swelled legs and fever. He died always murmuring things about a white lady who attacked him.

Bitburg - Bitburg Air Force Base - Near the French Cassern. The French Cassern was a place with old buildings that the Nazis would meet at. This may be a possible reason for these hauntings. Doors shutting and locking, furniture moving in front of doors so that you could not enter the room.

This area has been a religious magnet since the Celtic era. There are Celtic ruins, early roman ruins (600 ad) monastery ruins, and a Nazi Amphitheater built in the 30's for youth rallies (recruiting). Stories in the region range from apparitions to wailings and everything in between. Reports of having strange "electric" feeling on moonless nights and the feeling of wanting to leave, quick!

A feeling of dread and multiple cold spots inhabit this building that is still used through the day as an office. Specifically the third floor seems to have the most sounds.

Mannheim - Turley barracks - 4th & 1st Floors - A witness who lived on the fourth and first floors on Turley Barracks and reports they heard many stories of seeing someone in the hall at first he thought it was someone’s girlfriend but she moved wrong and it scared him so bad he asked to be moved to another barracks . A couple living there at the time had to bed and just as they were falling asleep something fell on the sheet between them, it felt like the size of a small rubber ball but it was defiantly there, they sat up quick and they turned the lights on but there was nothing there.

Osnabrueck-Haste - Karlsteine / Charlemagne's Stones - Ancient pagan place of worship. Several large tumuli and menhirs (standing stones). When Emperor Charlemagne brought the Christian faith to this part of Germany he single-handedly smote and destroyed one of the biggest altar stones, thus proving the supremacy of Christ over the "old gods". The place has remained a spot of witchcraft activity and strange rituals, especially around winter solstice and summer equinox. Several sightings of strange orbs, disembodied howls, and stains on the stones. There are reports of the "wild hunt" going by around midnight. This ghostly army rides the night sky, led by the spirit of Charlemagne himself. Legend says that anybody accidentally witnessing them rush by should cover his eyes and step aside in a gesture of humility. Nasty things are said to have happened to those who did not make way or tried to sneak a look.

Two seperate occasions occured at least two years apart where two people unknown to each other used the same room and had the same haunting dream.The soldiers were asleep in their beds,in a room right above what they at the time did not know was a drainage room (what they used to do with the bodies before there was embalming) A Nazi soldier standing over their bed looking down at them and making comments to a nurse that is standing beside him covered in blood. She has a sad face. The Nazi orders the nurse to do something which is spoken in German so the soldiers did not know what was said and the nurse then chokes the us soldier who then wakes out of the dream. These two soldiers never met before they confessed their story and swear the truth behind the stories. Other rumors are of an anti-abortionist woman who carries around a fetus in the hallway.

Zweibrucken - Zweibrucken Air Base - Tab-V (a hardened aircraft hangar). During the 1960's, the Canadians owned the base. During refueling, a jet caught fire inside the tab-v, everyone inside was killed. Years later, after the American's took the base over, many sightings were reported from this tab-v. The entire tab-v was colder than normal inside, weird electrical problems persisted inside and outside the vicinty of the tab-v. Dash-60 electrical units (used to apply power to a jet aircraft during maintenance) would mysteriously start up or shut down. The USAF coincidentally stopped using the tab-V in 1988 due to 'strange occurrences'. The US sold the base back to the Germans in 1991.
