Dachau was one of the most awful concentration camps in Germany during WW II. They gassed and cooked around 150,000 men, women, and children. They used the ovens to cook the corpses due to the volume of deaths:

The ashes took up less room than a whole corpse. A number of grusome medical experiments were done on living humans. Many did not live through them. Finally, the Americans liberated the people imprisoned there. A lot of those didn't live.

My friend was stationed in Dachau, Germany around 1969-1970. By that time it was used as a prison for U.S. Army soldiers who had broken the miltary law in some way or another. Also housed within the compound was the museum, administration building, mess hall, and trustees' housing. Outside the compound was the stockade and housing for the N.C.O.s.

In spite of what went on there, my friend, nor any of the service men stationed there, were ever bothered or disturbed by anything out of the ordinary.

At the entrance gate of the compound was a guard shack attached to the security wall of the compound. This was used for checking in prisoners, supplies and so on.

Night shift duty there in the shack was a rotated duty amongst the service men. My friend's partner had the night duty one night. He was a very solid military man and had no belief in anything outside of the obvious. He was there doing his duty like any one else.

On that night the unit commander recieved an phone call from town. It was the man who was on night duty in the guard shack. He explained that he was never coming back to his duty at Dachau, no matter what, court martial included.

He had glanced out across what was once the common area for the concentration camp prisoners. There, in the night's rolling fog, was thousands of ghostly figures, milling about in the yard as they may have been doing forty six years or so in the past:
