Military bases and their surrounding communities are hardly strangers to ghost stories, often situated on or near the sites of famous battles and infamous deaths. While they're good tales to tell on Halloween, rarely have they prompted any actual action. But one apparently did in 1970s, when U.S. Army soldiers are said to have destroyed a series of tunnels near their base in Germany to chase away a spirit – or at least try to put an end to the reported sightings.

The exact cause of her death is unclear, but was supposedly sufficient to curse her soul to remain bound to the castle and its surroundings. The bulk of the reported sightings were in a series of underground tunnels underneath where the castle had stood, which the hotel was still using in the latter half of the 20th Century.

Kind of an interesting story. I don't really get into the ghost angle except for maybe some reading around Halloween or to enjoy a movie.

I can only GUESS that the real story is the tunnels were being used by kids to do drugs,or for similar purposes,and the local pols didn't want to admit they have a drug/crime problem.

So they contacted the army to blow the tunnels shut,and since this was a really rare opportunity to gain this type of experience,the local Army engineer detachment jumped all over it.

I am certain it had nothing to do with ghosts,though.
