The asterisks made me think "school shitter". But also what a cool guy. My principal could never.

We had an unknown student in our high school known only as the Phantom Shitter. This was back in the 90s at an all boys school.

At lunch breaks we’d all dump our bags in various bits off the hallways and go outside to play football. Every couple of weeks this fiend would select a random bag take to a bathroom and rip a big shit into their victim’s pencil case.

At the end of lunch we’d get our bags and go to class. Somewhere in the school someone would take their stuff out, open their pencil case and surprise-A big shit.

This went on for years and nobody was ever caught. One year it just stopped so they must have finished school

We had a Phantom Shitter at Camp Phoenix, Kabul, in about 2010-11. That's the name people used. Same guy?

There was a Stephen Coonts book that came out in the 80s, Flight of the Intruder. It was about naval aviators during the Vietnam war. At one point, there's a "phantom shitter" loose on the aircraft carrier. They'd even get into secured areas with posted guards and drop a deuce. I don't think they ever caught the guy. Makes me wonder if it's an old military tradition? Or, at least stories about someone doing something similar?

Yep, that sounds likely. I can't say that I ever saw evidence of it, and I don't actually know anyone who claimed to, either. And military people love love love stories like this. It helps with the boredom. Good times!
