THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Fort Wadsworth has developed a reputation for ghostly soldiers and unexplained military activity. Visitors have reported apparitions, footsteps, and strange sounds throughout the historic fortifications.
At Fort Wadsworth, the apparition of a soldier may appear to walk through walls and moving vehicles. Other strange things have happened here: One witness said she flashed back to wartime where she was apparently inside the body of a curly-haired nurse. She saw wounded and dying soldiers all around, then a soldier grabbed her arm and yelled for her to get down. After a big explosion, she found herself again in the present day. Other witnesses reported similar occurrences, such as suddenly seeing wounded and dead soldiers all over the field and blinking their eyes to find the soldiers had vanished.
