This week on Ghost Bites, Mike and J.T. tune into a different kind of haunted broadcast—the mysterious world of number stations. These shortwave radio transmissions, featuring eerie, computer-generated voices reciting cryptic strings of numbers, have been baffling listeners for decades. Are they messages to spies? Are they some kind of "dead hand" signal? Or is it just a really bad radio show that needs to be taken off the air? Join us as we try to decode the bizarre history of these broadcasts and wonder why the government can't just send a spooky text.
