“Don’t ask me, I’m just a girl! Teehee!”

sorry im filipino

First of all, I’d like to apologize if my English may not be totally correct, but my mother tongue is French (I live in Belgium.)

Number stations are a very interesting topic, but quite frankly, I never heard those broadcasts besides the numerous recordings you can find over the internet.

On the other side, more than 10 years ago, I was a “feeds hunter”. We used to call a feed a television broadcast which private homes were not supposed to be able to catch, but sometimes it was possible to catch them with several analog and early digital satellite receivers. It was a lot more difficult to catch them with a digital receiver, because most models were all “automatic”, not allowing you to enter frequency values manually. Today, unless you have kept your old digital receiver still working, it’s next to impossible to catch feeds, because on today’s receivers, everything is automatic, from searching channels to software updates and everything, you just turn the receiver on and he does everything for you…

So, to make it short, at the time, I owned receivers which were allowing me to enter values manually. I just had to type the frequency value on remote, and the receiver would search for it. I was spending hours entering values to catch feeds. Most of the time, I would receive nothing, sometimes, I would catch professional feeds for television channels, mostly sports events…and a few times, I did catch very strange television broadcasts:

-On a certain frequency, at several times through the day (mostly early morning), I was seeing what was looking like a dark hallway with a white plastic chair. Nothing was ever happening, you were just seeing that white plastic chair for something like 30 minutes (sometimes for longer), I was always like waiting to see someone to finally show up and to sit down on that damn chair, but the broadcast would always stop the same way it had begun. I know, this is nothing, but it was kind of weird, not to say creepy. Just like those number stations, what makes it creepy is that you don’t understand what is going on.

-On another frequency, I caught two or three times something even more weird and disturbing!
On a blue screen, you were seeing a yellow drawing of a human skeleton from the back. The sound was a kind of continuous radio buzz and at certain time, some specific parts of the skeleton spine would brighten up just like they were indicating a signal. Those broadcasts were not lasting very long, probably less than two minutes.

I have recordings of those strange broadcasts on some old VHS tapes.

Cheers,

Yack
