Hauntings at Fort McClellan in Anniston are primarily associated with a ghost named Charlotte, who died at the hospital on the base, and other phenomena like shadowy figures, odd lights, moving objects, disembodied voices, and cold spots reported in various abandoned buildings on the former military installation. The atmosphere of the fort is often described as eerie, with a history of training soldiers, housing prisoners of war, and serving as a site for chemical warfare training, which adds to the spooky lore. Charlotte is described as a patient who passed away while being transferred to another hospital. Her presence is reportedly felt in the hospital, and a video of her apparition is said to exist on YouTube. Visitors and residents have reported seeing shadowy figures and apparitions. Unexplained sounds, such as a woman's voice, footsteps in the old Patton Building, and objects falling from upper floors, are common. Cold spots, doors opening or closing on their own, and strange lights have also been documented. Fort McClellan was a significant military post before its closure in 1999. It served as a prisoner of war camp during World War II and later housed the U.S. Army Chemical School, where personnel were trained in chemical warfare and exposed to radioactive compounds. The fort's abandoned state with decaying buildings and overgrown vegetation contributes to its eerie reputation.
