After having spent many a Monday all alone in the Museum, there were plenty of ‘occurrences’ or ‘happenings’ that I could never explain nor did I dwell on them either! That being said, I’m not at all sure I believe in ghosts. But I can tell you after working at the Museum, I believe in something. That belief comes from one experience in particular – the one described as happening in the Reception Area. That ‘experience’ stands out from all the others; the one I will never forget and the one that my mind cannot dismiss as merely being an odd occurrence.

It seemed that anyone who spent a fair amount of time at the Museum had a story to relate regarding, what I will call, hauntings. When you think about it – the Museum is full of items that are related to both war and death. It was my understanding that most of the German artifacts were taken off dead German soldiers; therefore it would stand to reason there are ‘things’ or perhaps ‘spirits’ – if you will - still attached to these items. Dying on the battlefield would not lend itself to a smooth or easy transition to the other side, making for circumstances that would promote the lingering of the spirit and reluctance to cross over.

Of the stories that are related in this section, I can only vouch for four of them; the four that I happen to personally experience. The other stories were related to me by co-workers and interns and while I was not present during their ‘experiences’, I have no reason to believe, with possibly one exception, that they were not telling the truth. Bottom line – since I had experienced something, why would I not think others had as well?

I've not been employed, nor visited the Museum for over a year. I'm sure other occurances have taken place or that I was not privy to hear all the stories while I was working there. If you have experienced something at Silent Wings Museum, or can attest to one of the stories already published here, I'll be happy to post it - just email ME with the details.
