“The Last Broadcast”

In the sleepy town of Elkhorn, Nebraska, Channel 9 news was like a relic. Most of the city was moved to the internet, but especially in the evening news at 9pm, the loyal audience of Tom Whitmore, organized by the same man for 30 years, still shows up.

Tom was a legend. Sophisticated, gentle and reliable. But something has changed since his wife passed away last fall. He began talking to himself during the break. He stared out of the camera, his eyes out of focus. The crew joked that he saw a ghost, but no one dared to say it on his face.

Then Halloween night came.

It was a quiet Thursday with an unusually fog. The crew is only on tonight's skeleton team, preparing for the 9 o'clock message. A story about a local pumpkin festival. Weather update. Normal fluff.

Tom looked directly at the camera but did not read the teleprompter.

Instead, he whispered:

> "You are on the ground."

Silence.

Everything is frozen in the control room.

He leaned forward, his eyes wide and his voice trembling.

> "Don't look behind you. If you see it, it's too late. They live in statics between channels. With sound. In the snow. "

Kelly, one of the guests, is one of the guests.

Producers lowered the feed, but the controls were closed - frozen.

> "In 1973, this station went out for just six minutes. They entered at this point. The traffic light was never the same."

His nose began to bleed.

> "We've covered it. But that night, we lost our intern. You never left. Not much. You are on the wire now. At the show. "

Behind him, the static screen turned on. But no one touched on it.

The shape moved through the fluff - a little big, pale, wrong.

The camera was tilted slightly.

Tom whispered: "I'm hungry tonight."

After that, the screen turned black.

News never returned.

The next morning, local police arrived at the station. The door was open and the lights were on, but the place was empty.

No toms. There are no crew members. Only the monitor rows play white sounds.

The only film material recovered from this night was a camera.

7-second clip posted by a teenager named Josh Wilkins. He recorded the show on his cell phone and laughed at his boots.

In the United States,

Clip, you can clearly see that the shoulders of the fingers, the long bones of the hands behind the news switch, react just before the screen is cut out.

Josh posted it to Tiktok in the caption:

">" wtf is before channel 9!?"

It was viral for a few hours.

The next day, Josh was found dead in the basement. His eyes were not there. The only noise in the house was his TV statics, flowering channel 9.

, but the transmitter should be outside the air.

Strange reports from people who watched the show live for the next few weeks.

The woman said her TV would no longer be off. It just shows Tom's face and whispers backward.

Missouri man claimed that the expression "not behind you" appeared in the steam of the mirror in his bathroom.

Iowa teenagers saw her dead brother's face flickering on her phone screen - only when she watched the show repeat.

The FCC investigated. They discovered that the broadcasting station's broadcast tower was melting - literally like plastic. No one could explain how to do that.

No one has ever found Tom Whitmore.

If you set up a TV between the channels late at night - at 3:17am - you can watch it.

Flickering from static.

Whisper.

"You're still hungry."

History lessons:

Some channels should be dead.
