The haunting of Iabot Island
Posted: 30 Mar 2019, 21:53
Iabot Island is an old military base that was abandoned in 1997. It is located 2 kilometers
southeast of Mt. Ahegive in the Hekoam Bay. The island was used for training special forces,
delivering munitions to wars and to test chemical weapons. It was abandoned when a weapon test
went seriously wrong and spilled deadly chemicals on the island, and in the bay.
But ten years earlier, before it was abandoned, a sergeant became ill, and died of a fatal disease.
Ever since then the island was haunted. Some hauntings include gunshots when no one was
around, footsteps and no one was there, the sound of yelling in the middle of the night, and more.
One haunting even killed someone. While delivering boxes of ammunition, a heavy box SAFELY
secured on a shelf mysteriously moved on its own and fell on a young officer. News of this quickly
spread to the city and was on newspaper headlines in the whole country.
Then nine years later, on the same date the sergeant died, disaster happened as deadly chemicals
spilled on the island and in the bay, killing wildlife and resulted in 46 human deaths.
