84. The Airmen Made a Pact to Never Tell [Keesler Air Force Base]

Three airmen were ordered to guard the Triangle at Keesler Air Force Base, Biloxi, Mississippi in 1980. What they saw, shook them enough to make a pact. For decades they stayed silent, fearing ridicule and damage to their careers. Until now. This is the true testimony from Kris Maddalena's The 13th Squadron. For the first time, Kris tells what happened inside the supposedly empty dormitories: the wardrobe painted black inside and carved with an inverted pentagram, the 1 AM scream that returned like clockwork, chanting from inside the walls, the mysterious fire breakout at a heavy metal concert on base, and the pale figure with a butcher knife that stood beside his bed. Locals have long whispered about everything from Satanic activity to UAP sightings along the Gulf Coast (the The Pascagoula alien abduction happened nearby, and the experiencers were examined on this very base). Yet what happened in the Triangle to these three Airmen is a frightening yet untold mystery. A huge thank-you to Kris Maddalena for trusting us with his story, sharing his memories (including having President Donald Trump as his landlord at Trump Towers, New York) and photographs, and also for being so generous with his time while we put this episode together.
