6 More Ghost Stories from the Most Haunted Place in the US Military
 

The "disappearing lady" asks taxi drivers and security forces on Kadena Air Base for a ride, but disappears before she can tell them where she's going.

The island of Okinawa, Japan, is arguably the most haunted duty station U.S. military members can be sent to. The stories of spectral samurai, elderly harbingers of doom and dead soldiers asking the living to light their cigarettes are well-documented -- but previous lists are far from exhaustive.
 
Author Jayne A. Hitchcock lived on Okinawa between 1992 and 1995, where she wrote five books about her time on the island. She documented the history, folklore and, of course, ghost stories that seem to permeate the entire countryside. In 2018, she published the fifth edition of her book, "The Ghosts of Okinawa," an updated edition with even more stories, instructions on how to use a Ouija board and etiquette on entering haunted places.

Just in time for Halloween, here are a few of the newest old military ghost stories floating around the island.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
