The Radio That Broadcasts From the Afterlife

In 1983, an amateur radio enthusiast in New Mexico began receiving an unidentified signal at 2:11 a.m. each night. The station had no frequency registration, no call sign. It only played songs that listeners later described as “impossibly personal.”

A grieving mother heard her dead son’s lullaby. A retired soldier heard the voice of his commander, counting down in Morse.

Then came the voices — each transmission ending with a whisper:

“Keep listening. We’re almost here.”

When investigators triangulated the signal, it originated from an area of desert that didn’t exist on any map. The man vanished while driving toward it. His car was later found idling by an empty field, radio still on — softly playing the song that had been written for his funeral.
