Halloween Reads Waiting for You at Sink Library By James Moore Halloween is fast approaching, and it’s time to head to the Robert F. Sink Library to check out some shocking tales guaranteed to give the reader a delicious sense of terror for the holiday. While costumes and treats occupy center stage these days, the roots of Halloween lie in ancient tales of ghosts and other supernatural creatures. When patrons ask “Do you have a scary section?” staff members have to reply that they have creepy reads in a variety of sections in the library.
Southern Spooks The ghost story is the foundation of all literature relating to Halloween. These legends began centuries ago in the Celtic traditions of the British Isles and the nearby Scandinavian countries. Based on oral traditions passed on from generation to generation, stories of ghosts and goblins came to America with the earliest colonists. This tradition has remained strong in the South. Many communities hold ghost walks or cemetery tours around Halloween. Starting in the nineteenth century, folklorists began collecting these stories and publishing them. Nearby Adams, Tennessee had the Bell Witch, who had an encounter with no less a person than Andrew Jackson. Sink Library holds a rich trove on this topic including: “Season of the Bell Witch” by Troy Taylor, • “An Authenticated History of the Famous Bell Witch” by M.V. Ingram “The Infamous Bell Witch of Tennessee” by Charles Edwin Price • “Atlas of Cursed Places” by Olivier Le Carrer
Other local folklore collections include “Ghost Stories of Tennessee” by A.S. Mott, • “Ghost Railroads of Tennessee” by Elmer Griffith Sulzer “Haunted Tennessee” by Charles Edwin Price • “Haints, Witches and Boogers” by Charles Edwin Price The Dewey section 133 contains a host of ghost stories from around the world. These include: “Natural History of Ghosts” by Roger Clarke, • “Ghosts Along the Texas Coast” by Docia Schultz Williams “Haunted Britain and Ireland” by Richard Glyn James • “The Ghostly Register” by Arthur Myers “Haunted Plantations of the South” by Richard Southall • “Hauntings” from Time-Life Books.
Famous Horror Authors With such a strong tradition of ghostly doings in their popular culture, it was inevitable that the British would invent the literary ghost story. The most popular, of course, is Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”. A host of writers on both sides of the Atlantic perfected this genre over the 19th century. It was a short distance from the literary ghost story to the full-blown tales of horror. Edgar Allen Poe’s stories and Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” were precursors for this type in the Victorian era. However, the genre came into full flower in the 20th century. The reader will instantly recognize these authors whose works occupy many shelves in the fiction section. Works by Ray Bradbury found in the R.F. Sink Library are: “Something Wicked This Way Comes” • “From the Rust Returned” • “The October Country”. In the second half of the century, Stephen King achieved international best-seller status and some of his noted works found in our library include: “Carrie” • “It” • “The Stand” • “The Shining” among many others. Equally impressive was Dean Koontz and you can check out a few of his books in our library including: “The Taking” • “The Bad Place” • “Midnight” Anne Rice carved out her own empire with tales of vampires in “Interview with a Vampire”, “The Vampire Lestat” and “The Queen of the Damned”. Rice had the ability to create a unique atmosphere and then sustain it with suspense to the end of the book. Her “Interview with a Vampire” was also made into a popular Hollywood movie with Tom Cruise.
Horror as a Science Last but not least are the works by psychical researchers, who investigate ghost stories and paranormal occurrences as a science. These are found in the 001 area and can cover everything from ghost hunters, UFOs, Bigfoot, Yeti to the Bermuda Triangle. A sampling of titles here includes: “Monster Hunters” by Tea Krulos • “UFOs and UFOology: The First 50 Years” by Paul Devereux • “UFOs and How To See Them” by Jenny Randles Also, the audio-visual collection contains the DVD “Ghost Hunters Live from the Stanley Hotel”.
No matter what your age or taste, Sink Library is guaranteed to have something that will scare the daylights out of you just in time for Halloween. The facility is open seven days a week including evening hours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

By Jenelle Grewell
With Halloween right around the corner, ghosts and ghost stories are a popular topic. Fort Campbell has some ghost stories of its own. But no need to call Ghost Busters! All of the spooks have been harmless. The Warrior Zone The Warrior Zone isn’t just home to tons of video games and yummy food but it may also be the residence of a helpful ghost. Rena from MWR told a story from when The Warrior Zone used to be Champion’s Sports Club. One day the back door from the kitchen to the loading dock flew open and a rolling trashcan from within the kitchen started to move. The trashcan rolled out the door and down a flight of stairs. Maybe it was just the wind? Maybe! But…the trashcan had to turn corners to get out the door and when it went down the flight of stairs, it didn’t even tip over! Quite a few people were witness to this display. “We were all in such shock!” Rena exclaimed. It sounds to me like the ghost was just trying to help take out the trash. Rena has also heard voices. “But it could just be the radio or a car passing by,” she suggested. Another MWR employee said she has also heard things in The Warrior Zone. She shared that she will see shadows and hear people in the kitchen drop things but then go back there to find the room empty. “I see somebody move. The jukebox is lit up and sometimes it goes black as if someone stepped in front of it,” the employee described. The Warrior Zone’s stage seems to host a spotlight-hungry ghost. Alberto, an past MWR employee, told a tale of a Christmas party when he witnessed a black mass move across the stage but no one was actually there. “It looked so real!” he said. Another MWR employee said she would be in her office with the door closed and she would hear the sound of someone stepping on the stage. When she would call out to find out who else was in the building with her, she would get no response. “I do think The Warrior Zone is haunted,” she admitted.
Campbell Crossing It is not just MWR facilities that have stories of haunting, a few residents of Fort Campbell have haunting stories as well. Alberto said a neighbors of his would give their son his pacifier at night before bed and their son would wake up crying. The neighbors would look for his pacifier but could not find it anywhere and they always found it sitting on a shelf in their pantry. There is no way the baby could have put his pacifier there. Seems like a ghost who enjoyed playing pranks on the residents of Fort Campbell.
Gate 10 Bridge The bridge at Gate 10 is also reported to be haunted and if you visit ghostsofamerica.com, you can see a photo of what appears to be a ghost under the bridge. One MWR employee said he hears Soldiers talk about hearing stuff all the time at the edge of the woods by Gate 10. “We are close to so many grave yards,” was his reasoning.

Eubanks Hall
Even our own MWR administrative building has a few ghost stories! Tara from MWR Marketing told an account of when she first started working at MWR. She was alone at the end of the work day and checking to make sure the door was locked when she heard voices and what sounded like bowling pins being knocked down. She rechecked the entire building but found no one. It was most likely the sound of ghost bowling! It wasn’t until Tara told her tale to coworkers that she even found out that it used to be a bowling alley. Tara and CynDe Clack, another member of the marketing department, told a story about hearing voices and the sounds of a door opening and closing one night while they stayed late in the building painting. They checked and they were the only people in the building. Well…the only alive people…
But why? But what could be causing all this ghost activity on Fort Campbell? The rich and extensive history of Fort Campbell might have something to do with the hauntings of Fort Campbell. Fort Campbell is home to more than 130 distinct burial locations and it is reported that more than 1,000 people are buried here. People buried on Fort Campbell range from World War II German Soldiers to community members to Family members. The diverse type of burial grounds could be the reason behind the many different types of paranormal activity reported. With so much diverse history, Fort Campbell may be home to multiple different types of hauntings. There is generally considered to be four different types of haunting – intelligent haunting, residual haunting, poltergeists, and entity hauntings. I wonder which are the most common on Fort Campbell?
Types of Hauntings The residual haunting is the most common type of haunting. The easiest way to describe this haunting is that is an imprint of energy on an area. Certain images or sounds may be replayed over and over and it is almost like the area has an old film loop or “gif”. People will report sounds like footsteps, breathing, music or apparitions that are most likely seen doing the same thing over and over. It is like certain events that happened in an area such as a battle or a ball is remembered and the energy is replayed. While these hauntings may not have an actual spirit causing the activity, it doesn’t stop it from being any less creepy. The intelligent haunting or intelligent ghost, are ghosts or spirits that can communicate and interact with human beings. This ghost is the leftover personality of the person who passed on and generally reflects who they were in life. They often seek the attention of living people and do this by turning things on and off, hiding objects, moving things and other behavior that may be considered annoying. These are generally rare hauntings. It seems as though most of the paranormal activity reported around Fort Campbell are residual or the work of a harmless intelligent ghost. For more information about the different types of hauntings, one can simply take to their internet search engine for plenty of information. Do you feel scared yet? For more ghost stories of Fort Campbell, visit ghostsofamerica.com. The website is host to more than 30 pages of ghost stories by residents, Soldiers and employees at Fort Campbell. The tales range from apparitions to strange noises and voices to electronics doing bizarre things to objects being moved seemingly on their own. If ghost stories are your thing and you love to be spooked, then Fort Campbell is definitely the place to be. Disclaimer: This story was just for fun.

Military Survivor Appreciation Week By Suzy Yates
In 2010, an event that started as a small candlelight vigil in front of Division Headquarters has grown to a weeklong celebration of our Fallen Service Members. The event went from inviting just the Families in our area of responsibility to inviting all to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice since 9/11. Many of the events are designed for Surviving Family Members, but there are also events for anyone to pay their respects and remember friends and comrades.
Origin of the Boot Display: In 2012, Theresa Johnson, a military Spouse previously stationed at Fort Campbell created the idea for the boot display in Hawaii to promote the Fisher House and to honor and remember Fallen Service Members. The inaugural event took place just three weeks before Sept 11, 2012, on Pearl Harbor’s historic Ford Island and began with an opening ceremony, a 21-gun salute and a bugler playing Taps prior to a run and walk. Some 6,400 boots, adorned with the names and photos of Fallen Service Members who were lost since 9/11, lined the run route. After runners passed by, the boots were moved to a field and were to be on display for the weekend. While the Fisher House Run, Walk and Roll event continues in Hawaii, the original idea has expanded into events at three other installations – Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Fort Hood, Texas and Fort Campbell, which has incorporated a boot display into its Military Survivor Appreciation Week. This original display was created to raise awareness on behalf of the Fisher House, when the event founder was personally touched by her experience with the Fort Campbell Fisher House. This event was dedicated in honor of a close family friend from Fort Campbell, PFC Timothy Vimoto, who was KIA on 5 June 2007.

The staff here at the dog kennels want to ensure everyone and every dog is as safe as possible!
