Okinawa was the site of one of the bloodiest battles of World War II, leaving an island marked by immense loss and destruction. For the Marines, Coast Guardsmen, military families, and civilians who have lived and served there in the decades since, some believe the past has never completely gone away.

Drawn from firsthand accounts spanning generations, these stories describe strange encounters across Okinawa — from shadowy figures and ghostly civilians on military installations to unexplained voices in the jungle, apparitions in base housing, and other unsettling experiences on an island with a long-standing reputation for the paranormal.
