Every soldier has a story. Some, they try to forget. Others, they can’t stop thinking about – stories that no one else would believe happened. Something that terrified them. Something they cannot explain.

From Ballen Studios, and hosted by Marine Corp Reconnaissance veteran, Luke Lamana, this is Wartime Stories. A weekly podcast that is a mix of horror, mystery, and awe inspiring tales. Where the strange, dark & mysterious meets the battlefield and beyond. 

New episodes every Monday.

Wartime Stories

The rules of engagement are clear when facing another army, but they are useless against a more primal foe. From the African plains to the mangrove swamps of Burma, soldiers discovered that the greatest danger wasn't the enemy in the opposite trench, but the man-eaters that saw both sides as nothing more than prey.

The Devil's Food

On the frozen battlefields of the Korean War, American soldiers faced down the overwhelming force of the Chinese army. But for one company of infantrymen, the true enemy was not human; it was a silent, glowing orb that toyed with their artillery before unleashing a terrifying weapon of its own.

Project Blue Book

For the people of 16th-century Europe, the sky was a place of divine mystery, not a battlefield for mortal men. But in 1566, the heavens over Basel, Switzerland, became just that, as hundreds of dark spheres waged a mysterious war before the eyes of the citizens below.

Celestial Battle

Long before it was a military training area, the land of CFB Meaford was home to sprawling farmsteads and the quiet lives of pioneer families. But while the families are long gone, one tragic soul remains, a young girl whose ghostly blue eyes now watch over the soldiers training for wars in other lands.

The Ghost of Meaford Mary

In the brutal calculus of war, survival is often credited to skill, luck, or the simple whim of fate. But for some soldiers, the difference between life and death came as a warning from the most unlikely of sources: a messenger who was already dead.

Something These Men Could Not Explain

In the late 1980s, the skies over Gulf Breeze, Florida, became a theater for some of history's most famous UFO sightings. But as the town looked up in wonder, a far more sinister mission was unfolding on the ground, as six AWOL soldiers arrived with a Ouija board and a divine mandate to kill the Antichrist.

Gulf Breeze Six

For as long as humans have sailed the seas, they have feared the deadly predators lurking just beneath the waves. But what if the most terrifying monster wasn’t a known species, but an ancient ghost of impossible size, a creature science says has been extinct for millions of years?

The Megalodon

On the Eastern Front of World War I, German and Russian soldiers were locked in a desperate stalemate against each other and one of the most brutal winters in a century. But as the conflict decimated their enemies, ravenous wolf packs began to stalk the battlefield, seeing the trapped armies as their only source of food.

This is Part 2 of the story of Man Against Wolf.

War During Winter is a Horrible Thing...

Alcatraz was designed to be an inescapable prison for America’s most dangerous criminals. But in 1946, a desperate breakout attempt by its prisoners forced battle-hardened U.S. Marines – fresh from the islands of the Pacific – to lay siege to the fortress on their own shores.
