The Air Force Museum
The air museum took artifacts from an unlucky plane that crashed in the mountains. Victims of the crash have been seen staring at the display, and when security guards attempted to arrest them, they vanished. Soldiers who died in World War 1, World War 2, and the Vietnam Conflict have also been seen standing near or inside their plane. While staring blankly at the plane, guards would try to converse with them, which caused the spirits to disappear.

I moved to Dayton a couple of years ago and I love the USAF Museum. When you go there, be sure to walk through the Holocaust Memorial. You will here sounds of people asking for help. You may also hear the sound of children crying and begging not to be taken from their parents.

My friends and I, upon first hearing about the hauntings there, we took a video camera/audio recorder with us. We took pictures and slight audio from the supposedly haunted areas (such as Hop a Long and the Strawberry B***H plane) We got nothing in our pictures, however around the Strawberry B***H plane we got what sounds like someone saying “Here to and/or Come to me”. Also u can faintly hear what sounds like Big Band music, but if you’ve ever been to the museum, then you know that they do not play any music there regularly during visiting hours. Kinda creepy.

I would just like to say that I like women. A lot. And these have nothing that say anything about women haunting anywhere and that upsets me. Please try to fix this problem.
thank you.
Im big and I love it. Be kind

Someone above said music wasn’t played in the museum. That is incorrect. I don’t know if it changed but at the Glenn Miller exhibit, Big Band music was played. I’ve been there many times, including during evening concerts, and have never seen anything unusual or felt wierd.

I grew up in the Fairborn area that is just outside of the base. What people don’t know is, just east of the museum (up the hill) is the Wright Brothers Memorial. The special thing about that is, there is a Indian burial mounds behind it. As kids we would go sledding at night at the hill. We would build fires near the mounds to keep warm and sometime the flame would do strange things. Later when I joined the Air force, I heard about the “little green men that were in hanger 18. Funny enough I worked in that hanger for years. About the museum, we got the chance to refurbish some of the aircraft there. Most of the aircraft is worked before it is taken to the museum. The annex of the museum is where you REALLY see weird things. This is also a public place not to many people know about.

I remember going into the air force museum as a child. the first time we went as a family my sisters and I were completely terrified as we walked into the room. We were screaming and crying and my parents had to reassure us that it was okay before we would go in. I remember thinking the place was very creepy. Maybe it’s time for a revisit.

My family used to visit the museum a lot since we lived close by and my dad was a jet mechanic during the Korean and Viet Nam “conflicts.” One day, my dad and I were looking at one of the planes (used during Viet Nam) and he said “look up.” A pilot was saluting my dad from the cockpit. When we alerted a passing guard, he went to the plane to show us no one was there, the pilot laughed and disappeared. The guard gave us a funny look, said “see? No one there..” and quickly went out of the hangar. Dad wouldn’t talk about it or go back….ever. Later, before he passed away, he said he thought the pilot was one he had crewed for. Also, my uncle brought in one of the planes on his semi. He said you could hear voices and other noises all of the time coming from the plane. When they got to the museum, the guards unlocked the plane and showed them that not only was the plane empty, none of the equipment could be turned on.

I once went to the museum with my family.As soon as I entered the first exhibit on the first floor,I started crying my eyes out.I got this terrible feeling of sadness and felt like I needed to get out of there.It is said that sensitives can feel sadness and dread whenever they go there.

I’m a big fan of the AFM, been there many, many times. Always find it interesting. Personally, I’ve never had any paranormal experiences there, but judging from the reports I’ve heard and read, it’s best to keep an open mind. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility for spirits to gravitate around a person, place or thing they held dear in life. Like Charlie Daniels said, “some things in this world you just can’t explain.”

My husband and I recently took our 3 and 2 year old to the museum. I didn’t see anything at the museum nor did I feel uneasy. I have seen things and felt uneasy before at other places but that was my first visit. My 3 year old son however hated the place as soon as we walked in and not it all seems to make sense. He didn’t want to look at any of the planes and now refuses to play with planes. I took some pictures but haven’t looked at them yet, it’ll be interesting to see if I captured anything and finding out this place could be haunted makes me want to revisit–but without my son.

I’ve never been here as I live in Australia, but I work in an aviation museum out here. Our museum is built on the old dummy deck from the war since it’s on the other side of the gate to the Navy base, don’t know if anyone’s ever heard of HMAS ALBATROSS, but that’s it.
I’ve been coming out here my whole life because my parents worked here and my dad’s in the navy, and my mum’s parents worked here too, so i spose it’s in the family. But never in any other time when I had come out here in my whole life had I seen the things I’ve seen in the last two years working here.
As far as I’m aware no one ever died on the dummy deck, but we have lots of aircraft from the wars, Vietnam, first world war, plus a lot of things in between.
Anyways, we put a new display in last year, and it was a mennequin of sumone in WWI, and I hadn’t seen anything weird before then, and as soon as this display got put in weird stuff started happening. No one believed me of course to start off with, but I had a weird feeling everytime I even walked passed it to be perfectly honest.
I’d be walking down to the workshop and hear foorsteps behind me but I’d be the only one in there, I’d see people walking around but it would only be me and one other person in there after hours, and our lights are automatic censors, me and my boss would be finishing sumthing in the workshop which is at the very end of the hangar, and the lights would go on up the other end. Or on days where I would be working in the shop and not the hangar, there would be no visitors in the museum and everyone in the office and the lights would come on by themselves, or I would hear footsteps on the metal grate which makes a very distinct sound.
Everyone thort I was crazy cos well, it’s kind of a running joke but then other people noticed as well, and we’d leave rooms and come back and chairs would be moved, or we’d all be in the office with the doors locked ready to go home and we’d hear what sounded like sumone trying to open the door from the ~other side. Even tho there is no way there could have been anyone out there. We’d hear footsteps in the archive and sounds like people turning pages even tho there was on two of us in there. We’d hear what sounded like footsteps coming down the hall but there was no one there, and the lights in the archive are censors too, and a few times we would go in and before we got there we could see the light on underneath the door, even tho the door was locked and there was no one in there.
Then there was the ~disappearing girl~ no body believes me still to this day about this cos apparently I was the only one who even saw her, but I saw a girl down near the workshop and she looked about my age, (I’m 20, altho I was 19 at the time), but I was helping the boys with sumthing and saw her and thort I would go around behind the aircraft, because there all on the sides of the building with walkways down the middle, I firgured it would be fairly inconspicuous, and she seemed to notice me as well, I’d never seen her before and I know just about, if not, everyone that comes in here, but this is the first time I had seen her, so I’m so down behind the aircraft and within 5 second she is legit gone, there is no way anyone could move that fast, so I went in the workshop and one of the boys was at the sandblaster which is just next to the inside of the door, so I asked him if he saw anyone outside the door, and he said he saw sumone out the corner of his eye but he thort it was just me. I asked everyone if they saw any girls of that description and I asked the girl in the shop that day if anyone had even come in that looked like that and she said no. But I know for a fact I saw her.
Then we saw a ghost on the CCTV and took a picture of it and showed everyone but they still didn’t believe us, and still don’t, and I still see people in the corner of my eyes and hear footsteps and lights still go on, I even saw a guy with a yellow face standing in front of me in the shop, and another guy next to our Sopwith Pup.
Not as much stuff happens anymore, but still things do happen, it was just really soncentrated and a lot of things happening in such a short time before after we put that display in, it’s still there but the ~activity has died down now. It’s very strange.

I have gone to the Air Force Museum since it was built. When you first go in and get to the exhibits with the airplanes, there is definitely an energy of sadness. After all, these planes were used for war and alot of our guys didn’t come home. The annex area is kinda creepy too. I went with my daughter and grandkids once during a special event at night, and it definitely has a whole different feeling.

…I went to the museum on a field trip once. Yeah,I was freaked out by the mannequins.. but that was just because they were weird. I really didn’t see/feel anything out of the ordinary. It was just really boring.
