The Unsolved Mystery Of Number Stations

Everyone knows about Bigfoot, UFOs, Ghosts and Nessie, but one of the most interesting and creepy lesser-known mysteries has to be, what is often termed as, Number Stations. Unlike the previously mentioned mysteries, the Number Stations phenomena is very real indeed - full of unquestionable evidence. These stations DO exist. Anyone, in possession of a shortwave radio, can tune into one of the many Number Stations at any time.

In short, a Number Station broadcasts a series of continuous and endless numbers occasionally broken up by strange sounds or eerie music. The numbers seem to be read by men, women and even children voices in a bizarre and monotonous tone. Despite questioning governments etc about these broadcasts no one has received a reply. Odd.

But why do they exist?

One of the most widely agreed upon theories to explain this peculiar question is the possibility that it is linked to espionage; spies! Perhaps it's a code that only those with the knowledge to crack it understand. But if this is the case, this begs the question; what messages are they sending for it to be such a secret? Warfare? Or something more sinister? Perhaps they're signals to another world? Another dimension? Time traveling? A strange countdown to some terrible event?

Who knows?


Take a listen for yourself by visiting The Conet Project's site. They're incredibly haunting and creepy.
