But among those who’ve trained there, the base has earned another reputation entirely. Across decades of stories shared by soldiers and OPFOR alike, strange encounters in "the Box" continue to surface — sightings, screams in the woods, and experiences tied to something many troops have come to know as the Box Witch.
