Military posts across America carry more than just history — some carry hauntings. At Fort Riley, Kansas, soldiers and their families whisper about one presence above all: the Buckskin Ghost, a spirit soldier dressed like a 19th-century scout who refuses to leave.

A retired Army veteran shared his family’s chilling experiences after moving into historic quarters on Main Post in 2016. They thought their house was “safe” from ghost stories, but within days, things escalated. Brackets and screws vanished, only to reappear days later. A fire alarm shrieked in the dead of night — yet only in their bedroom. Cold spots swept through rooms, and televisions flickered and changed channels on their own.

Their son, just a boy at the time, saw the ghost twice — once with a friend who bolted screaming from the basement. Their visiting grandmother begged the ghost to return her missing electric toothbrush. Days later, it appeared neatly in the bathroom…cap and all. Even the Geek Squad technicians who installed a new TV witnessed the electronics behaving as though someone unseen was controlling it.

Locals call him “Bucky.” Residents know him well. And those who’ve lived in these homes agree: he’s there, shifting objects, tinkering with technology, making his presence known.

Is the Buckskin Ghost a restless scout from the 1800s? A soldier who never left his post? Or a guardian spirit protecting families who cycle through Army housing? Whatever he is, his legend endures — and if you ever take the Fort Riley Ghost Tour in October, you just might hear his story told where it all began.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
