What they experienced while recruiting in embattled Iraq was not business as usual.Crossing the Red Line -- Sometimes Airmen make mistakes that cost them their military careers. But at Keesler Air Force Base, Miss., and other bases worldwide, leaders rely on correctional-custody programs to turn wayward Airmen into productive servicemembers.Just Silly Ghost Stories? – A ghost.

Regardless, people are still trying to find plausible explanations for the paranormal.
