"The Lincolnshire Poacher"

I have been discovering the magic of the Numbers Stations. You can listen to some of them here: "numbers stations"

Swedish Rhapsody is particularly creepy.

As you know, Numbers Stations are mysterious radio stations which broadcast... numbers. It is assumed that they are sending coded messages to spies. An endless succession of distorted voices saying numbers or letters and nothing else is very creepy. Nothing really compares to it except the wierder bits of Chris Morris' Blue Jam or the celebrated Unexplained flexidisc of voices from beyond the grave, as recorded by Konstantin Raudive et al.
