That numbers stations shit still freaks me out when I think about it. Freaked out my girlfriend, too, when I played her a recording of one.

I remember the story about Tara Calico being a lot more terrifying in the other thread. In any case, the Wikipedia isn't as long as I remembered it to be.
That photograph = chills
And I feel like this year is really about, just the year of realizing stuff.

i actually still remember the night/basic time period i read the first one. a lot of the stories didn't effect me too much, except for that weird masked dude who interrupted a tv station for a minute or something (and someone made it their av).

A couple months ago I got up before dawn to run down along the Embarcadero, and as I was driving down there in the dark, I came across a local station (I think ) that was playing all the famous ones, not accompanied with commentary or anything, including the Lincolnshire Poacher. Hearing that one in the still darkness was especially creepy.
On June 15, 1989, a Polaroid photo of an unidentified young girl and boy, both bound and gagged, was found in the parking lot of a convenience store in Port St. Joe, Florida. It was theorized that the girl in the photo was Tara and that the boy was Michael Henley, also of New Mexico, who had disappeared in April 1988.
i may be overlooking something here but wouldn't her/his parents be able to tell if that was them or not? they're saying it was "theorized" that it was Tara for a while but wouln't it be a simple yes or no?

Well you'd think so, but then, the boy they thought was in the photo turned up dead in the same place he'd disappeared from years ago so it obviously wasn't him. I think they pointed out on Unsolved Mysteries though that the novel in the photo was Tara's favorite book though-- that would be a pretty huge coincidence if it wasn't her.
I think this thread is gonna die but can anyone link to something about the pilot in Australia (I think) whose plane disappeared after he reported seeing a ufo above him followed by a series of metallic scraping sounds over the radio? That was a good one.
grammatron i dunno if you listen to talk radio but i really enjoy http://sittingnow.co.uk/ as an alternative podcast to coast to coast, which i no longer listen to

Thanks for this. Coast to Coast is still occasionally worthwhile, but its best years are definitely behind it.
there was the thing about the group that died in russia on a mountain all naked and whatnot and i was like NOOOO this is too scary but then someone posted the cracked mag article that explained it and i could sleep again
The Dyatlov Pass incident refers to an event that resulted in the deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural mountains on the night of February 2, 1959. It happened on the east shoulder of the mountain Kholat Syakhl (Холат Сяхл) (a Mansi name, meaning Mountain of the Dead). The mountain pass where the incident occurred has since been named Dyatlov Pass (Перевал Дятлова) after the group's leader, Igor Dyatlov (Игорь Дятлов).
The lack of eyewitnesses and subsequent investigations into the hikers' deaths have inspired much speculation. Investigators at the time determined that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot in heavy snow. Though the corpses showed no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one was missing her tongue.[1] According to sources four of the victims' clothing contained high-levels of radiation. There is no mention this in contemporary documentation-it only appears in later documents.[1] Soviet investigators determined only that "a compelling unknown force" had caused the deaths. Access to the area was barred for three years after the incident.[1]
