Anyone got any personal spook stories?
I have 2-3, but I’ll share an interesting one with you. My dad was an MP in the Army and moonlighted for the CIA in the late 50s because there was no major overseas mess they were fully staffed for where he was at, he’s 80 so this was early on. I’m not up on their history in terms of numbers, but my dad has never once in his life lied to me.
So, he was in Haiti and the Dominican Republic during their revolution running important people around and doing security in a remote post that was mixed in with CIA dudes. They were also flying ops and boat runs around Cuba. Lots of confusion he said. One day they’d be shooting across the river at people, the next in some remote airstrip doing security on an island he couldn’t recall.
I guess they had offices and a regular base somewhere and one of the guys couldn’t pass some rank test or certification in intelligence and one of the CIA dues overheard this and offered to help. Apparently this guy had a mental block and had studied, but just couldn’t pass the exam.
And so, the CIA guys offered to hypnotize him without study before he went in to take his next exam and he scored perfectly. The Army assumed he cheated because no one has passed with a 100% correct score. On the forced retest without being hypnotized he failed lol.
End of story.
An old lady who lived across the street told me a story about growing up somewhere in Ontario, Canada, wherever the Avro aviation company was working out of. Everyone knows the Avro Arrow, the fastest plane at the time it was created, reported to be able to exceed Mach 2. For some reason they discontinued the production of the best plane at the time, scrapped all existing models (there were 8 I think), and closed the company. It doesn’t make sense, but I happened, and I know why.
Avro took US government contracts during the Cold War. There was an interesting saucer project that I don’t know the details of, but the one that concerns the arrow was different: a missile program. Avro successfully developed their goal: a homing missile that exceeded 2X the speed of sound. The problem was, they took their new rocket engine design and also built a plane...that was as fast as the missile. The US military Complex did not like this, and soon after the missile details were packed away, the engineers were invited out by the company on congratulatory vacation to a cabin on a lake, all expenses paid, catering, booze, the works. The old lady from my street explained that three of the team of engineers “choked on some tough beef” that weekend and died, including her father. The others accepted jobs in the US and moved immediately after returning. When this womans mother (she was just a child then) insisted on seeing the body, the tongue was black, they had been poisoned. The morgue cremated all three bodies before the families wishes could be heard.
If you develop something you’re not supposed to, they will come and offer you more work in their dark circles, and if you refuse you will die.
Anyone interested on doubling their car mileage without changing the engine of their vehicle? Pm me.
