You just can’t make this stuff up. Members of the California National Guard claim close encounters with New Orleans ghosts. From the article:

By all accounts, the Sophie B. Wright Middle School in New Orleans sits empty and evacuated except for military personnel who have taken over the campus as a staging site for missions around the battered city.

But the men in uniform have the feeling that they’re not alone. It prompted a chaplain to utter this directive: “In the name of Jesus Chris, I command you Satan to leave the dark areas of this building.”

Said Sgt. Robin Hairston of the California National Guard: “I was in my sleeping bag and I opened by eyes and in the doorway was a little girl,” . “It wasn’t my imagination.”

Hairston wasn’t the only one seeing things. Spc. Rosales Leanor had her own close encounter.

“I was using the restroom and I just saw a little shadow,” Leanor said, “kind of looming in front of me.”
