    Ghost Planes

    Ghost Planes

    [ranking: 7]
    After WWII ended, many people saw "ghost planes." These fighter aircrafts would appear in the sky, then disappear without a trace. One scary story takes place a year after what occurred at Pearl Harbor. The US Army picked up an incoming plane on their radar. They sent a few pilots out to investigate, and when they came back, the pilots said that they had seen an American combat aircraft - a P-40, to be exact - that looked like it had been through hell. It was pierced with holes, the landing gear was missing, and the pilot was bloody.
    Then, the plane just went down. Dropped right out of the sky. When they went to investigate the site, they found the plane - but no pilot.

    A Ghost In Islington

    A Ghost In Islington

    [ranking: 13]
    Rosina French lived in the London Borough of Islington during the darkest days of WWII. Both she and her husband performed separate duties to help aid the country in the fight against Adolf Hitler. In fact, French was a volunteer fire watcher. She couldn't serve on the front lines, but she was part of a rotation that checked for bomb threats and traveling fires. It was during one of her night shifts that she encountered an allegedly supernatural force. While standing at her post, French noticed a strangely shiny, white figure. At first, she thought it was a gravestone or person, but the apparition was too tall to be either.
    She realized the creature must be a ghost when she began to feel her hair stand on end. The figure did not approach the woman or harm her. As the story is told by French's son, Alan:
    It was when she peered more to the left, where she had possibly not glanced before, she experienced what must have been one of the most frightening sights in her life. There it was! A very tall shining white figure! Such a conspicuous contrast to the surrounding area's darkness! The apparition was too tall for the average tombstone, but more alarmingly, it was also too tall for a living human being. The sighting was so eerie, it must be a ghost! What other explanation could there be? It was definitely a phantom-like figure. Oh Dear! The possible reality of the situation had started to sink in. Despite her fear, she nervously accepted that she was witnessing a spectral sighting.
    A supernatural experience was not one that she wished. My mother was of a nervous disposition. In fact, she could be sometimes exceptionally highly strung. Looking at a ghost whilst performing fire watching duty from her doorstep was not what she needed. She required something to calm her down. She could utter no sound, for her vocal chords became useless. She could not move. She could only stand, transfixed in stoic silence. Then something else strange started to happen. It was a condition that she had heard of, but as far as I am aware, had not experienced. She claimed that she actually felt the hairs on her head move. My mother firmly believed that they were stiffening and standing on their ends. That is how terrified she was.

    Nazis And The Occult

    Nazis And The Occult

    [ranking: 9]
    One former Navy serviceman recounted his chilling experience while he was living aboard a barge in Norfolk, VA, in 1999. He and another crew member shared a fondness for WWII history, so his friend gave him a strange book. It was about the Third Reich trying to find and use occult artifacts to help them win. He writes:
    For those not overly-religious, the 'Spear of Destiny,' was the spear used by the Roman soldier Longinus to pierce the side of Christ during the crucifixion. The myth went that anyone that possessed Longinus' spear would hold God-like powers. The [SS] were [unstable] enough to believe in that stuff.
    One night, he was reading the book before going to bed. It was a chapter about Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler, who led an archaeology team for the SS. After that, he put the book under his pillow and falls asleep. Later that night, he awoke to the sound of slow, heavy footsteps walking through the bunks in the dark. Then the footsteps passed him:
    [A]ll of the sudden, the curtains to my rack began to blow in towards me, and I can't even describe the cold that accompanied it. It was as if a freezing wind was howling in upon me, and I could feel my jaw lock tight, my teeth instantly becoming a solid block of ice that froze and fused together. I grew up in Michigan and had never known such a cold in all my life. I tried to cry out as the cold pierced me deeply to the core, like ten million frozen needles stabbing me all at once. It was truly indescribable.
    He heard the footsteps pass by him again, and the door to the sleeping compartment open and close. Everything returned to normal. He gave the book back to his friend the next day and told him what happened. The friend laughed it off, but a few weeks later, he experienced the exact same thing. So what does this service member think was responsible for his eerie encounter? He explains:
    Had it been the conniving former chicken farmer Heinrich Himmler, head of the dreaded SS, or could it have been someone even more foul and loathsome; the evil spirit of Adolf Hitler himself, exacting a little payback scare on two active duty US servicemen, the grandsons of men that had helped defeat his military machine?

    Man In The Attic

    Man In The Attic

    [ranking: 8]
    In Colmar, France, a young woman experienced something strange in the summer of 1991. Her family had just moved into a new house, and she found a hole in the wall of the attic. Through the hole, she could see another room, but as far as she could tell, it had no door. She felt something strange coming from the hole but didn??t investigate. Later, she went back with a flashlight and saw something:
    There was a young man sitting on the floor, his knees against his chest. His arms were crossed on his knees, like he was hugging himself. He turned his head toward us and smiled. We bolted out of the room and went to the storage room. My heart was pounding, I was out of breath. I first thought that it was a real person, but he had no color. It was like a 3D dark shadow. And we never heard any footstep. My friend refused to admit that we saw a ghost and we never talked about it??
    My grandmother learnt later that our house was a clandestine printing office during [WWII]. The owners printed slogans against the Germans. But I think that there was something else in that house. I believe that the secret room was used to hide people.

    The Alkimos

    The Alkimos

    [ranking: 6]
    The SS Alkimos was built as an American ship for use in WWII. It was sold to Norway, which used it for arms transport. In 1944, one of the crew ended the life of a radio operator who worked on the ship, Maude E. Steane. The perp then shot himself. Norway covered up the incident and claimed that enemy fire caused Steane's passing. After the conflict, the ship was sold to a Greek shipping company.
    Strange, unexplained incidences kept happening with the ship. In 1963, it collided into a reef off the coast of Australia. It was towed to Fremantle for repairs, but while it was there, the Alkimos caught fire and was to be towed to Hong Kong for more work. It had barely left Fremantle when the tow line snapped and it ran aground. The tow company couldn't get it unstuck, so they left a caretaker on board until something could be done. The caretaker experienced many strange things onboard, including feelings of anger, knocking, footsteps, and voices.
    Over the years, a few companies tried to salvage the ship, but each time someone tried, bad things would happen to their crew. Eventually, it was abandoned and began slowly sinking into the water, where it can still be seen today.

    Japanese Cannibals

    Japanese Cannibals

    [ranking: 4]
    Toward the end of the conflict, Japanese soldiers in Singapore and New Guinea began eating captured POWs. And it is not because they were starving - they were doing it simply because they could and to reinforce their bonds.
    Sometimes the prisoners were deceased when the Japanese began to hack off their flesh, but sometimes, they were still alive.
