MY BIO:
jazmaonline.boards.net/thread/2495/paul-dale-roberts-biography-revised
During my time in the Army from 1979 to 1986, I went from being a 97 Bravo (Intelligence Analyst) to being an OPFOR (Opposing Forces) Army Instructor with an H-Identifier. I also had orders to go to airborne school at Fort Benning, Georgia and then I would transfer to Fort Bragg, North Carolina for Army Special Forces aka the Green Beret training. But, due to some serious family medical issues, I did not complete my airborne and special forces training. I continued working as an instructor with OPFOR teaching ROTC students and regular college students the benefits of joining the Army.
Special Note:
Fort Benning, GA is now Fort Moore
Fort Bragg, NC is now Fort Liberty
Fort Gordon, GA is now Fort Eisenhower
Being with OPFOR, it allowed me to instruct Army promotional classes at the following colleges and universities:
University of Georgia
Alcorn State University
Coahoma Community College
Mississippi Valley State University
On my road trips to various colleges and universities, we made J-2 stops at Fort Benning, Fort Bragg and Fort Gordon. J2 is a military intelligence unit that is part of the Joint Staff Intelligence Directorate 1. It supports the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretary of Defense, Joint Staff, and Unified Commands. The J-2 coordinates joint intelligence doctrine and architecture, and manages intelligence for joint warfighting assessments. While at these military installations, I conducted my own paranormal investigating by asking military personnel if a certain military installation was haunted. Here is what I discovered.
FORT GORDON:
Three phantom soldiers have been seen and one of the soldiers wears a white MP helmet. They are seen walking towards some barracks and then vanish. That was the only paranormal incident that I heard about. Later on, I found a story from a woman named Rhonda. Here is Rhonda's story in her own words.
Rhonda says: "We went inside, and my daughter said "well, he's gone now!" I asked her....."what did this ghost look like?" She told me he had on a uniform like daddy wears. Right then I knew we had a ghost/spirit. Well, I brushed it off and my daughter started playing her Dora game on the computer that was in our living room and I started ironing my husband's uniforms... I was on the second one when I felt this really cold chill and about the same time my daughter turns from her game and says, "mommy who is that man?"...I was scared to turn around, but when I did, I didn't see anything or anybody. I asked her..."where is this man?" She told me he's gone again, and I turned around and went back to her game. Later I took my daughter outside to ask her if the man scared her when she sees him and she told me no. I asked if he says anything to her and she told me no.
When my husband got home that night and after the kids went to bed, I told him what our daughter saw. My husband doesn't like hearing about ghosts and paranormal stuff. We got into a huge fight, and I went to bed, my husband stayed up and watched some TV. The next day my husband came home for lunch and told me he was sorry and told me as he was making his way to go to bed, that the night before the bathroom door opened and something black was standing there. It didn't say anything, but he got a really strong feeling that the spirit didn't like him fighting with me. I thought it was funny in a way because I know how ghosts can feed off negative energy. I had a feeling whatever was there didn't want my husband fighting with me. My daughter hasn't said if she has seen the phantom soldier anymore, but I know he's still here because if my husband fights with me, I can tell that something will freak him out."
FORT BENNING:
While I was at Fort Benning, I heard about how at times soldiers see "phantom paratroopers" dropping from the sky and then disappearing. The soldiers that witnessed this, believe that these are paratroopers that died in training accidents. When I got out of the Army and became a paranormal investigator, I was contacted by John A. Vasquez, Author of the book entitled "Incident at Fort Benning". John told me that there was an incident at Fort Benning in 1977. During a training exercise, orbs were seen in the night sky. A battalion of soldiers all passed out, when a UFO (orb) flew above them. When they awoke, they were inside a mother ship and experiments were being conducted on the awakening soldiers. On the ground, military personnel were shooting at the UFOs and according to John, one UFO was shot down. John was the only victim that remembered the incident, all of the other soldiers couldn't remember the incident. With my own investigating, I found Command Sergeant Major James Norton and an Army lieutenant that make claim that John A. Vasquez's story is true. Below is a book review of John's book "Incident in Fort Benning". I told John to contact MUFON and make a report, in which he did. Here is a book review by the MUFON investigator that investigated the incident at Fort Benning:
John C. Thompson - MUFON Investigator says: "I have not read this book but know the story well. In 1997, while state director of MUFON of Georgia, I was contacted by John A. Vasquez to help investigate his claims of alien contact at Ft. Benning, Georgia. I found John A. Vasquez's account intriguing and his sincerity during several phone conversations over the next year sincere. In the course of MUFON's investigation a former drill instructor and Company Commander of his training unit were talked to by myself. The former Commanding General of Ft. Benning in 1977 was talked to by Tom Sheets, then a MUFON investigator in Fayetteville (now state director of MUFON of Georgia). All gentlemen, two still active Army, were cordial and interested in Vasquez's account. Unfortunately, none of them supported his claim of alien contact. His former drill instructor, however, on hearing of Vasquez's assertion that the Army said his training unit never existed at Ft. Benning in 1977, said flatly the Army was wrong as he was there and at the time Vasquez was there. Since Vasquez's claim, another Ft. Benning recruit says he was involved in a secret UFO incident in April of 1977. He also claims possible alien contact/abduction. What impressed me most about Vasquez was not his claims but his effort over many years to find out what happened at Ft. Benning. This at least suggests he believes what he thinks happened. I and others then in MUFON of Georgia wonder if, perhaps, some kind of secret Army psy ops took place with recruits that produced traumatic results. Please disregard my rating as my purpose was only tell of what I learned of the Ft. Benning incident and my thoughts on Vasquez's honesty."
BLOODY FACE SOLDIER
The writer of this paragraph, wishes to remain anonymous. "My brother, who I'll call John, called me yesterday in a panic while I was working, to tell me that he saw a ghost on base. He doesn't usually call, especially not when he knows I'm busy, so I know this was serious. He said that he was driving near Harmony Hill when he saw a man walk out towards the road wearing BDU (which when I looked it up, it said it stands for Battle Dress Uniform), which was used from the 80s to the early 2000s, with blood all over his face, and he says the man asked him for directions to the main post. John pointed him in the right direction, but when he looked in his mirrors, the man was gone. John also shared with me that he had soiled his pants after realizing what he saw. He also mentioned another spirit he thinks he saw while he was on fire watch one night. He says he saw a man in UCP (had to look it up again, this one is Universal Camouflage Pattern, which was only used from 2005-2019) crying on a bench somewhere in the B-Company Barracks at or near the Airborne School. He says that this could not have been a real person because the lights in the room are motion activated, and the lights were not triggered by the man's presence. He says he was watching cameras, and no one came in or out." Location: Fort Benning.
LONG BLACK-HAIRED PHANTOM
The writer of this paragraph, wishes to remain anonymous. "Since we moved here, I've experienced some rather unusual things. We live in the Bouton Heights Village. I first noticed early in the morning after my husband has left for PT, the front door sounded like it opened and then shut on its own. I thought at first maybe he was coming back in because he forgot something, but I looked out the window of the car and he's already left. My husband and I don't have any children and once when I was home alone, while he was at work, I could swear I heard kid's footsteps running up and down the stairs. Then just 3 days ago, I was driving home from Kelley Hill (for those who know the area) I was taking the main road from Martin Army that passes Davis Hill to Bouton Heights. About 15 minutes, the short way home. It's very secluded, no homes or buildings are near. It was about 10pm at night and I was the only car on the road so my brights were on. I saw a woman, or man with long black hair standing in the ditch on the side of the road right next to the turn into Davis Hill. I took a second look, and no one was there. I couldn't make out what the person was wearing, or what it looked like other than white and very wild long black hair." Location: Fort Benning.
SPECIAL NOTES
At Alcorn State University a small child is sometimes seen crying on the side of the street. While asking soldiers at Fort Bragg if they ever experienced any paranormal experiences while on the base, two soldiers told me that they sometimes see a "Lady in Red" walking around the Fort grounds. They believe that the Lady in Red might be a former prostitute that would sneak on the base, and that at some point of time, she died and returned to the base. At Mississippi Valley State University a ghostly man has been seen on the roof. The ghostly man looks like he is repairing the roof and then he will disappear. There were no paranormal experiences noted for Coahoma Community College and the University of Georgia.
