John A. Kuykendall; Phony Marine/Ghostbuster
Scotty sends us another of his recent busts, John A. Kuykendall, who claims he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel with 17 years of service and then went into business as a ghostbuster. Here’s his proof;
The issue date says 1984 and the military wasn’t using those ID cards in 1984. You guys can pick apart the ID card because I’ll admit that I don’t much about them. Like having two Military Police badges on the card. Do the Marines even have police, and if they do, is it called “Military Police”? You guys know more about that than me.
But he doesn’t seem to know that everything in the military changes sometimes. Here he is in ACUs and if he was in the Marines, I don’t think he’d be wearing an Army uniform. Since he claims he left the service in 2001, he would have had to time travel ahead four years to get some ACUs.
Well, all of that on top of the fact that he’s a fat f**k, too.
Well, anyway, the Marines say they’ve never seen his fat ass before;
He also claims to have an MBA and a master’s degree in biology, but he spells business as “busniess” – twice, so he probably should have majored in spelling words and stuff.
But you can read the whole spectacle at Scotty’s place.

What a clown.

January 5th, 2013 at 5:59 pm
I know you’re not supposed to photocopy gov’t ID cards (except in rare medical care related cases).
January 5th, 2013 at 6:05 pm
It’s not a Ghostbuster. It’s the Stay-Puf Marshmallow Man.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:14 pm
LOL Eggs that and because that ID is just all wrong altogether. Photocopying is one thing but the ID itself is just a complete sham piece by piece.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:14 pm
He had a DD-214 but a ghost took it
January 5th, 2013 at 6:15 pm
You would think someone would actually do their homework. But he probably had no idea that CAC cards were not used in 84, hell I dont remember getting my CAC card till about 2002 or so.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:17 pm
C2 – It does have a lot of pieces of flair.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:18 pm
I’ve seen airsoft guys look more authentic…
January 5th, 2013 at 6:21 pm
I guess the thought is that for an ID card to look real, it has to have so many badges and watermarks on it that it becomes unreadable. Oh well, at least it didn’t feature a congressman’s signature or a tiny medal of honor.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:23 pm
I wonder what his ghostbusters CAC looks like…
January 5th, 2013 at 6:24 pm

It has also been a while since I have seen a Marine supporting a mustache.

His email…
paranormalusaco@gmail.com
January 5th, 2013 at 6:43 pm
Ok, I’m confused. Marine CAC, 4th ID patch, USARMY tag?
He’s a joint service all by his lonesome.
Bet he wears Navy underwear.
January 5th, 2013 at 7:16 pm
He’s wearing a flak bib.
LOL!!!!!
January 5th, 2013 at 7:17 pm
Can you say, “Piece of $h1t from the word go?” If this sumbich is a Marine I was General MacArthur’s aide-de-camp on Manila n I wasn’t born until1956!?!
January 5th, 2013 at 7:21 pm
Always wondered what Zippy the Pinhead would look like without the clown suit…
January 5th, 2013 at 7:21 pm
Holy shit! He’s seriously wearing a DAPS shoulder pad as a bib!
January 5th, 2013 at 7:35 pm
@21 (11B)
LOL..I just caught that when you mentioned it. Funny
January 5th, 2013 at 7:52 pm
I have an old style card and mine says “Indefinite” for the expiration date. Do the Marines use the word “Permanent”?
January 5th, 2013 at 7:54 pm
O-4E? This was taken at the Colorado Prison Museum? I see he’s sporting the wrong flag and a 4th ID patch…
January 5th, 2013 at 7:56 pm
And something else about him. I have seen this critter face to face, I just can’t place where or when.
January 5th, 2013 at 7:56 pm
The Army ACU’s should tell you he is really an NCIS agent. I never thought of wearing my DAPS as a bib, I could have left my IBA at home !!
January 5th, 2013 at 8:05 pm
http://www.grunt.com/usmc-military-police-badge The USMC MP badge is nothing like the one shown on his photo either.
January 5th, 2013 at 8:06 pm
Expiration Date-Permanent? Does that mean that he’s expired?
Jonn may have to go to early regionals and quarterfinals for this year’s Ballduster McSoulpatch tourney. They’re wriggling out of the woodwork early this year.
January 5th, 2013 at 8:06 pm
According to the Stolen Valor page, he lives in Colorado Springs. This guy has gotta be really screwed in the head to try this stunt there. Seriously dude? There’s two Air Force bases, NORAD, the AF Academy, and Fort Carson. You can’t go anywhere in the Springs without seeing someone in the military. What a tool.
January 5th, 2013 at 8:43 pm
Poser Busters exposing Ghost Busters , He had a paranormal F/B page & his personal account activated until right after the exposure. They went POOF !!
January 5th, 2013 at 9:12 pm
What a fucking fat piece of shit. What kind of nonsense is this now?!!!
His fuggin’ ID card has literally EVERYTHING possible on it, which isn’t even close to what a CAC card looks like.
There aren’t too many Marines in the Colorado Springs area that I know of, and there certainly aren’t any Marine MP’s needed at any of the AF bases or Cheyenne Moutain.
As for the ACU’s, the “stars and bars” aren’t worn there, (and obviously, Marines don’t wear that pattern), and we also don’t wear gadgets outside our uniform, so he fucked himself right there too.
Loser fuck stick.
January 5th, 2013 at 9:47 pm
LTC Soup Sandwich… assclown extraordinaire! As for his ID card expiration date, it’s like the last box of Ho Ho’s that he snarfed down.
January 5th, 2013 at 9:48 pm
What a fu—ing clown. I’m guessing he’s some some major mental defects (what we used to call being retarded, but I’m told that’s not nice to say– it degrades the retards.)
January 5th, 2013 at 9:53 pm
Oh, Just checked the initial link out… four years to complete a MBA? Must have been placed on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION while at U of P!
And the pic of him with Casper (“Try me, Casper…”) – looks like Casper and his buddy’s dorked LTC Ghostbuster in the squeakhole!

LOL Eggs, no doubt…nice flair going on there along with barcode action and “pay grade” to give it that authentic look. This ghostbusters guy looks like a walrus in his faux uniform. I wonder what runs through these guys minds when they click on here when a friend tells them to check this page out.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:19 am
I think a ghost faked his CAC card.

A triple decker shit sandwich, without the bread.
January 6th, 2013 at 1:41 am
Graduated High School 1984?
His Marine Corps “career” started in March (or April, according to his LinkedIn profile), but his I.D. card was issued July 9th, 1984? Fuggin’ schools (OCS/TBS and MOS school) takes much longer than the timeline he’s sticking to.
Graduated University of the Pacific in 1989, and all by skipping a bachelors degree (or are we supposed to believe he rolled up all the curriculum magically somehow to earn a Masters degree as well?) I’m sure skipped OCS/TBS and MP School altogether while he attended a school 8 hours north of Pendleton, ’cause that’s how the Corps rolled back then.
Last but not least, he has an Honorable Discharge certificate on his web page, located here:
http://www.usaparanormal.org/teamusa.htm
It says he was honorably discharged on July 6th, 1995, and signed by General Amos, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps. The only other problem with that is the fact that General Richard D. Hearney was ACMC during that time.
January 6th, 2013 at 1:44 am
(Of course, the honorable discharge certificate has a poor cut-and paste job of General Amos’ signature…)
January 6th, 2013 at 3:41 am
He’s scrubbed some of his web-presence.
His Facebook page can’t be found and http://www.usaparanormal.org is defunct.

When I saw this, yesterday, I couldn’t even comment, because it’s so jacked up that commenting would have just been piling on. Now his website is gone? Shocking!!
January 6th, 2013 at 8:14 am
He’s ghost hunting in that picture in the ACUs. He’s got a few “common” ghost hunting tools, like the digital recorder. I’m not sure why someone would feel the need to dress like THAT while on an investigation, but that is the least of his issues.
January 6th, 2013 at 8:55 am
@49: Maybe he wants the ghosts to start laughing, so he can capture it on his digital recorder?
January 6th, 2013 at 9:41 am
His former website had to have been fairly new before he took it down. Not finding anything stored in archives except that it was crawled two times during 2011, on 6SEP & 26SEP2011. However, I found as of 30DEC2012 he joined a website called Haunted Society. His “About Me” info shown there is:

There is already a book called Haunted America by two of my favorite ghost book writers, Michel Norman and Beth Scott, so he may want to try and think of a new one. Maybe “Tales of a Para-Marine Spooke Chaser”
January 6th, 2013 at 10:19 am
Folks, this kind of stuff happens routinely – a dipstick gets busted as a poser, but gets wind of it and wipes everything. Web caches don’t always have copies of the documentation of false claims.
Bottom line: if you find one of these tools, it’s a good idea ALWAYS to save (screencap, print to PDF/other image format, or download) the incriminating bogus junk – if possible, in a way that shows the URL/date/time. Print to PDF is great for web pages – unless you turn it off, the browser will insert the date and url (and time, I think) into the header for the printed pages.
– break —
O-4E: Great work in comment 45! Would you consider a suggestion to change that to “FakeBusters”? That gets rid of the extra syllable in “PhoneyBusters” so it flows a bit better.
Shoot, I think TAH might now have it’s very own theme song!
January 6th, 2013 at 10:22 am
Hey Army, the POS is wearing your ACUs so the Corps is giving the honor of his nonservice. Enjoy the our gift to you. Joe

Dang. I have 5 tabs open just to keep up with the latest findings (Ghost; Densmore;Punk; Bastamonte; and “CSM” Collier)….all from 1 week. There’s so many that worthy threads (like the CSM”) fade into history so quick. Wish there was a way to easily check up on progress. For instance curious what the CSM’s VFW reports back.
Going to be a hell of a Ballbuster contest this year.

He is illiterate AND uneducated!!! You are a native of the state where you were BORN, not the one you moved to. He is a Tennessee native who moved to California, the land of fruits and nuts.
@25 – Streetsweeper, you may have seen him in the TV audience at a sumo wrestling match.
He may not be the most original guy in the world, but he is one of the silliest.

I must say he has done quite a good job closing all of his social media accounts
January 6th, 2013 at 7:22 pm
Wow – I’m floored. I joined John’s team April 2012. I just started reading about all of this today, and I’m pretty stunned. I tried to contact him via text msgs to all of the numbers that I have for him but haven’t heard back. It does seem strange that he always wears a uniform – even when he’s just kicking around the house. I wonder if he will come over to pick up his equipment? I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but since he hasn’t responded to me… :S
January 6th, 2013 at 7:25 pm
@MeShell
There IS NO benefit of the doubt
We have already shown that. You being a civilian don’t know any better.
Which is what douchebags like Kuykendall count on.
January 6th, 2013 at 9:35 pm
Kuykendall has some videos on YouTube – posted under “Klowns666″. The following is posted under a video called “USA Paranormal Fort Carson Army Base Abanddon Haunted Hospital”
{i]Uploaded on Aug 14, 2011
At 1.31 sec. I entered the blood room, and you can clearly see an energy orb shoot out from the left bottom of the video frame and move to the center of the frame and the vanish. This Hospital was built in 1941 and closed in 2007. This is just one of the videos we have posted of the haunted hospital. I will post more as I go through the evidence. They held POW`s here in WW2 and they did some bad things to them. Alot of them were murderd and beaten. There spirirts still remain. Fort Carson Military Base 8/13/2011 Colorado[/i]
MeShell – He’s just one of many that go around telling people things that are not true, and some also do things to hurt people – not just the victims but those of us that have served our country honorably, in time of war and at peace.
January 6th, 2013 at 9:46 pm
I dunno… there were things going on between John and a producer of paranormal shows that makes me wonder. For all I know, the letter above is just as much a forgery as the things that John has supposedly done. I have to have the proof in my own hands, not something posted online from a source I don’t know.
I am a civilian, its true, but my father was in the AF when I was born and had served in Viet Nam as a Marine. My brother is an officer in the AF and my nephew just joined the Army. I understand what an affront it is to impersonate someone that has served, but I also feel suspicious when character attacks are made and everyone just jumps on the bandwagon.
So, I will request official verification myself, and see what the military says.
January 6th, 2013 at 9:57 pm

You’d think at least get the uniform right for Christ’s sake, it’s not that friggin hard to open google and type in “United States Marine Corps utilities”… Instead this re-re has got to go and steal one of our uniforms and DAPS no less…

WARNING: Joke coming that will easily offend Tennesseans who can read…all three of them:
A couple in TN was married, and after the ceremony the bride and groom retired to the groom’s home. However, before the vows could be consummated, the bride confessed to her husband she was in fact a virgin.
The husband was devestated and immediately went to the living room of the home to inform his parents.
His father took a look of rage, slammed his fist on the chair, and exclaimed, “Well DAMMIT!! If she isn’t good enough for her family, she isn’t good enough for ours!”
And with that, we have the genetic makeup of one LTC “Ghostbuster”…single trunk family tree which does not fork.

@66 For being someone who is new to this blog, I can understand where you’re coming from. Just know that some of the guys around here have been doing background checks for quite awhile. Scotty, in particular, has a plethora of guys that he’s bagged and I’ve never known him to try and forge an FOIA request.
I’m sure you’ll get back the same results he did but no one is going to hound you for wanting to submit your own request for verification.
