Taking care of your health just got easier – start here with Zocdoc: zocdoc.com/WARTIMESTORIES #sponsored For more than twenty years, coalition forces fought in one of the most remote and unforgiving corners of the world. Among the firefights, mountain patrols, and isolated outposts, many servicemembers returned with stories they still struggle to explain. Drawn from firsthand accounts shared by American and British soldiers and Marines, these are strange tales from Afghanistan—of towering figures seen in the mountains, eerie creatures stalking the night, unexplained lights over the battlefield, and encounters that remain every bit as unsettling as the war itself.
