By the user of the site Reddit under the nickname "Js0508".
“In 2008 I was 19 years old, I was in the military and was sent to Afghanistan to a small post in the southern part of the country. It was a sparsely populated mountainous area.
People dressed in civilian clothes often came to us, they visited us several times a week, but they never stayed longer than two days. We had good relations with them, they were either some special forces or CIA people.
There were many rumors in the area about the psychological tricks of the militants. For example, ambushing and killing all but one so that he would tell the rest and they knew and were afraid to walk at night. Or severe mutilation of corpses and throwing them into villages.
By the end of the third week of my stay there, it became necessary to check the village not far from us. People from that village had often complained in the past that American soldiers were killing their goats. I think they wanted to get money from us for this. But when our patrol drove in that direction, he saw women and children carrying a lot of things, and at the sight of our military they rushed to scatter. All this incomprehensible activity was rather suspicious and required verification.
The next morning we drove to that village. She was only an hour's drive from us, and the road there was through a flat valley. The whole village fit on the top of a small hill and there were only a dozen houses and sheds, in which at most 40 people lived.
As we approached the village, we heard voices. It was as if a lot of people were shouting something at once and the words could not be made out. It lasted about a minute, then the clang of metal, a sharp scream and wet gurgling sounds. As we got even closer, we again heard many voices and they were so loud that many of us ended up turning off the speakers in our helmets.
We were at a distance of 30 meters from the entrance to the village and saw there a large open area, to which a thin bloody trail led from the entrance. When we went to the square, we came across a large pool of blackish blood.
We immediately noticed three people in military uniform who jumped out of their car and opened fire on us. We hid behind various shelters, and I chose for myself a 1.5-meter wall surrounding a small house. One of the military crept closer and shot at me and at first I panicked (this was my first real combat experience), and then shot at him 8 times of which two bullets hit him in the chest.
Soon our team wounded the remaining two militants and we called for reinforcements. None of our people were injured. In one of the houses we found four women who were hiding there and they began to beg us for help. When we began to question them, they admitted that some of the residents should have attacked the patrol, because they were promised a reward for this.
But when we released the women after interrogation, they flatly refused to return to the village. They trembled with fear and were incredibly frightened. We asked why they were so afraid, is it really all because of the recent shootout? But it turned out that it was completely different.
They said that this morning, as soon as the sun rose, shortly before our arrival, they saw a man covered in blood or red paint slowly walking into the village. So it seemed from afar. And when people approached this person closer, they recoiled from him in horror and ran away.
When this man entered the village and everyone saw him, it turned out that he was without clothes, hair and skin. Every step he took exposed his kneecaps. He also had no eyes and no muscles around his lower jaw.
His head twitched as it moved, as if nothing was supporting it, and his breath was heavy and choking, as if he was drowning. The women screamed in horror at the sight of him, and the men ran into the houses and grabbed their guns. When they approached him, they saw that the man's belly was cut open and his intestines were hanging down.
The men started shooting at the unfortunate man, and he did not even twitch when pieces of meat flew off him. They all shot at him, and then they started reloading their guns. And then this man spread his arms and began to scream so loudly and terribly that everyone cried with horror, and the men standing next to him bleed from their ears and then they fell.
After that, the skinned man finally also fell to the ground, but before the people had time to come to their senses, he was nowhere to be found, he disappeared into the scarlet haze and there were no footprints leading to the side. The men who fell next to him also disappeared without a trace.
Maybe the villagers saw a ghoul (in the picture) or a genie?
We listened to this story, pretending that it didn’t frighten us, and later, on the way back, we discussed basically something completely different. I was driving along with six more soldiers and we were moving along a dirt road, when suddenly someone shouted at us to stop and lie on the ground.
It turns out that a horse was lying in front of us on the road. Her legs were cut off at the level of the knees, her head was turned back, something was written on the skin of her belly, and something was sticking out in her belly. We thought it was a makeshift bomb and defused it. After examining the mutilated horse, we saw that the cuts were made very evenly and accurately, there was not even a drop of blood.
Then we asked our translator what was written there. He said that it is not even Arabic, but Farsi and it says "Look here", "Look here", "And now don't look anymore." We were all shocked by this "joke", and when we returned to the commander, we told him about it. And then he seriously told us not to tell anyone about such a thing, otherwise our mental preparation would be questioned.
Later, when we returned to the base and went to take a shower, several guys screamed loudly in the shower, as it seemed to them that they saw their face in the mirror without skin. We calmed them down and then went to the shower ourselves. And when I started to shave, I saw my face in the mirror, which was red and skinless.
I still sometimes still see him in the mirror, even though it was 11 years ago. Because of this house, I removed the bathroom mirror altogether and began to go to the hairdresser to shave. And when I shaved in the bathroom (this was the last time), my daughter was standing nearby. And she, too, saw my red face in the mirror and ran away screaming.
During these 10 years, three of our soldiers, of those who were in that village, were killed in battle, two were wounded, our translator and his family were shot dead in his house. And three of us committed suicide after returning home. And I cannot find anything like it in the many unusual stories around the world.
I don't know much about the place where that village was. I only know that it has a rich history and in the 80s the Russians had a base there. I also know that Alexander the Great was in those places. But I don't know anymore, and I don't know what to think about all this crap."
In the comments to this story, users offered their versions of what happened. Someone wrote that all these visions are just a consequence of the stress of what he saw and heard, and that the author urgently needs the help of a psychiatrist.
Others wrote that it was possible that there was black magic with the use of genies, or that it was a vampire or demon. There is also a version that this is a true ghoul - these creatures can change their appearance, drink human blood and eat corpses.
Another user wrote that her husband also served in Afghanistan and also saw some terrible things there that she does not want to talk about.
