The Welcome to another edition of Nightmare Fuels.

The third of five Nightmare Fuels to get showcased over here on TimeSuck for the week of Halloween.

If you skip the first two but are listening now,

these are immersively scored, cinematically written, original fictional horror stories.

All written and narrated by me, all scored by Logan Keith. And for the week of Halloween, I am

dropping five of my favorites right here on the Time time suck feed. If this feels up your alley,

I now have over 40 of them over on the Scare to Death podcast feed for you to enjoy. Many are

standalone. Some are sequential. And this one is called Operation Wandering Soul. It originally came out

back on April 18th of this year, episode 30 of Nightmare Fuel, and it was an easy pick for time suck because it's based in a real historical event.

Operation Wandering Soul was a propaganda campaign and psychological warfare effort conducted by U.S. forces during the Vietnam War.

It was an attempt to increase desertions

and defections from Biet Cong forces and weaken their morale by making them think that the war

was causing legions of the restless dead to wander through Vietnamese jungles. It was literally

an attempt to scare enemy combatants so badly they would lose the will to fight.

The audio of the ghost tape you will hear in this story is actual audio produced by the U.S. military.

I hope you enjoy this fictional horror story inspired by something very real and very crazy that actually happened.

I highly recommend noise cancellation headphones to get the most out of Logan's scoring.

Time now for the tale of Operation Wandering Soul.

This is based on a true story.

While the characters and specific events are fictional, the mission at the heart of the story and the belief surrounding it are not.

It was the middle of January, 1968.

The war in Vietnam had entered a new and terrifying phase.
