Fort Ord was a U.S. Army post on Monterey Bay in California. It was established in 1917 as a maneuver area and field artillery target range and was closed in 1994. Most of the fort’s land now makes up the Fort Ord National Monument, managed by the United States Bureau of Land Management.

However, a portion of the fort is still abandoned and off-limits to the public due to the presence of unexploded ordnance and asbestos within the buildings. This restricted area includes dilapidated barracks, crumbling mess halls, and the old military hospital, which stands as a relic of the past.

Urban legends and stories from locals and former soldiers have painted a picture of Fort Ord as a haunting ground. People claim to have heard strange noises, voices whispering their names, and footsteps in the empty buildings.
