The early days of illegal AM CB radio were great fun. Until a voice from beyond the grave replied to a call... I now have a ghost story channel here... / @raysghoststories
I too do not believe in ghosts, in the slightest. However, I love a good ghost story. This one was really good! Maybe he found some EVP he was talking to. Regardless of my disbelief, I loved the story.
This is more than just a story, it's an incredible life experience you had. It let's us all know there is a spirit world, and we're not alone. That would make a fabulous true life radio drama. Really enjoyed hearing about your encounter with the great beyond. Thank you for sharing.
Mate.... once you got to the See Me part, i got scared. Goosebumps, back of me neck getting real hot.... Mate, i would have been off to the pub and then maybe to the hospital for observation. I dont doubt a word you have spoken. You and your friend experienced something that cannot be explained. I hope i can make it to the plant tonight for me shift, im shaking like a leaf !!
Found your channel, great story subbed also. I actually have a recording that I made while on the radio of what I think was a weird conversation from space pick up. I later found out that the guy that is on the recording had passed away a year before I heard the conversation. This was in the late 70's listening off of a Star Duster antenna back then.
So glad I found this channel. Awesome story, I know I would be no different then you in that situation and wanna get the heck outta there! Cheers from across the pond 🇨🇦
Thanks Ray for another great story. Makes me want to get my old CB out of the loft. I used to do my dxing up on the Malvern Hills, no ghosts though. You should go back & record what happens. Perhaps a live stream ☺
I had a Johnson Messenger 23 channel. I heard things from people who had passed on. I had a highly worked on Cobra 148 GTL in my 18 wheeler. There are things I can't explain. I heard them tho. Thank you for your skill.
First time watching him. Great story... always wanted a CB radio. Father drove a big rig and my uncle had his radio in the garage....now I want one even more.
I knew that car park well when I lived in Shoreham and my AM CB worked well there back in the 70's. My "Handle" was Givit One! My mates were Charlie Brown and Mexican Pete!
I am a new listener to your channel and just like hearing about your hobby, but I really luv this story about this Ghost beyond the grave makes me shiver and am very intrested in this story makes very good entertainment.
Radio Workshop Hello radio is also my hobby but so is the paranormal and I would be very intereated to hear from you and the location where this happened? regardless of how long ago it was. I look forward to hearing from you. calthorpebbm@yahoo.co.uk
Hi Fred nice to see you here, I'm a fan of yours. I have a great set thanks to you. CRT 6900, 1/2 m silver rod and recieved my power Mike today from Knights. Just getting contacts on propagation, but been terrible lately. Cheers fella all the best. Jay 26CT2997 73's
As I lived with woods all around for miles, and had not yet my ham license, I spent the late 1970s to mid-1980s on CB. Many of those memories are lost to time but, I can remember some very odd occurrences happening within the radio spectrum. If I wasn't fooling around with the CB, I was listening intently to SW, VHF/UHF, anything I get a receiver for. I did drink quite a bit too back then so, I cannot prove or disprove anything that happened. Maybe you and I did hear out-of-the-ordinary things, or maybe not. Fun the think about, the few I might remember so long ago now...Thanks
Marvelous story.. I noticed that AM STEREO MOTOROLA C-QuAM modulation also hve that capability of interacting with the spiritual world as well.. from time to time.. thanx for this story experience.. stay safe.. 👍⚡
That's a great story, I've just found your channel, intresting videos on there, I've always been into Into radio related subjects, as was my dad & other relitives, In the workshop I've still got several of my dad's old vintage radios, including 3 second world war communication receivers, most still work.
Great story. I was an old cb breaker, but never had spooky radio chats. however, I have had several strange experiences. I DONT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE EXPERIENCED A FEW.
Great Story Ray! We have a ghost in our home that smokes cigarettes, plays pranks, and cooks the typical American Thanksgiving holiday dressing/stuffing. I was a scoffer until I moved into this home.
I had 2 episodes in the 70s of hearing conversations of people I know who had passed away in our community that frequently we're on channel 17 cb here in Ohio . This was during the extremely active sunspot cycle at that time in the summer of 77 . I always wondered about how much the solar flare activity had to do with how it affected the things we heard.
@@g4nsj Yeah certain frequencies of radio waves can get "stuck" in the Earth's ionosphere for years. Creepy as heck, but... what you were hearing might have been in reality a short conversation that happened years ago. you kept hearing "I'm here." etc.. over and over because the waves bounced all over before you got them. The signal kinda fragmented as it bounced around and what you were hearing was basically echoes of it. Like you observed.... it doesn't really seem like the person you're hearing is actually responding to you. Which raises a question... what transmitter was she using? I have no way to figure it out and I doubt you do either, but the important part is the transmission power. it's like making echoes with sound. The louder the sound the more likely you are to hear an echo. A weaker transmitter might have just given you intermittent bursts of static instead of audible speech.
I had a somewhat similar happening when I was a teenager, I had been listening to my grandfathers radio about a year after he passed away. He had given my brother the radio and he left the batteries in too long which ruined the c cell holder and rotted the wires. I had on 107.5 Toronto tuning to their rock station which most of Us did, I went to bed about 1am unplugging the radio from ac (the only way it worked now) putting it on the prep counter. I awoke trusty at about 5am and went downstairs to get a drink not notching the radio now playing on 93.5 Barrie's oldie station. My grandparents station. I walked over and turned it off and as usually had drank half the glass of milk and refilled it again then on came the radio louder this time and I then realized it was not plugged in and dropped the full glass of milk smashing it all over the kitchen floor and I bolted through the very long house to the stairs and went up 15 stairs in 3 strides. My very clairvoyant Bi-polar mother met me at the top of the stairs scaring the complete crap out of Me and I stuttered what had just happened. She calmly went down to check things out and explained that Her father was very upset with my dad when he passed over and had wanted to forgive my father fr taking him so many times which my dad refused leaving him between plains as she believed it. I had 2 other episodes happen, another was him slamming the walkway door(exactly where the back door of the cottage my dad tore down my grandfathers second cottage to build a addition without his permission) and when it happened to Dad he nearly shit himself.I had something evil grab Me in 1984 at 64 Montgomery Ave in Toronto (Yonge & Eglinton) and I was unable to move while this entity had a hold of my right arm shocking me like electricity but more painful, I finally pulled myself free and when I was getting up something threw me back hard onto the bed, believe it or not I hit something with a right uppercut and it went through the basement door falling down the stairs. I went out at 7:30 am in my underwear and sat there till one of my roommates came home from night shift went in packed my bags and moved out that afternoon. There was something evil sharing that 150 year old semi detached home and many that lived there or beside had things happen to them also.
Made my spine more than shiver at 64 Montgomery Ave Ray, that was something bad or evil, the electric type shock hurt really bad until I guess I clocked it with one. I never went back there again.
15 years ago, I'd have said you either have a great imagination, or are completely bonkers, but after working one of the spookiest buildings in Surrey, my mind is a lot more open to things like this now days, whatever this was, whoever Angela is, you captivated my imagination and kept me hooked. More please! 73 M0SGL
Her name was Angela Egan. She was the eldest of 2 children in a farmhouse about 1 km away from the location. Both children died of consumption in 1932. The parents disappeared after the deaths of both children. Whereabouts unknown. They were buried off the property without permanent markers apparently due to financial issues with the family.
Great story Ray. A place not far from me called Oxney bottom theres wooded area with the road running through and some people in the 1960’s and 70’s would see an old Grey Lady walking across the road in front of them at night and they would swerve to miss her but of course she was a ghost but no one ever sees her now.
Great story Ray. There are other stories about ghostly conversations using electrical equipment too. If you fancy it, try getting a copy of ''The Ghost of 29 Megacycles'' by John Fuller.
this man tells the best the best tails he had me enthralled ime over 70 and had an am cb in those days a presedent madison i could listen to him all day if there are any more like this please tell us
We had a similar CB/lovers area overlooking the town which was good for DXing at night. Very spooky area, and strange tales over many many years from up that way.
A very intriguing story. Thank you for sharing. I wonder if that carpark is a hotbed of paranormal activity. Has someone else reported experiencing the same thing there?
LOL. Pretty good. Reminds me of my widowed grandmother getting calls in the middle of the night supposedly from her deceased husband. The phone company eventually found the problem. It was a downed phone line draped across his grave!!!! (Apologies to the late, great Richard Matheson.)
Another smashing Radio related Story Ray. Having just sat through an Advanced Amateur Radio Class where the tutor became irritable and dismissive at many of us who could not grasp first time how to calculate Resistance, Capacitance and Inductance in simple circuits, Could I humbly request you make some films along these lines. Us poor non electronics types who have not had electronics fed to us in the womb would welcome someone like you who is knowledgable, calm and measured to help us in this. There seems to be many people in the UK getting into Amateur Radio and very few videos on getting to grips with the course work. Our American friends are better at this, but they don't have a Ray from the Radio Workshop!73Paul
Hi Paul, ok all noted. I'll try and put together some videos when I get time. I recall an amateur radio course I attended in my early teens. It was totally useless. The lecturer knew nothing about amateur radio. He went on about how transistors work and, in the end,. someone told him that was irrelevant. I got help from other amateurs in the end and got my license. Cheers, Ray.
As I remember there is a way to bleed the TX on most channels by playing with the tuning cans or something else I'm not sure of , and as you described it will be very low power, jammers used to do that and use a high power amp, that was in the early 80"s
hi Ray, i love this video. cartainly one of your best! you may not like telling these stories, but you sure are good at it. i have an open mind, and listen to radio shows concerning the weird, strange and paranormal for years. you should call the show (coast to coast am) and tell your ghost story. due to time you would have to greatly shorten it. you are truly a masterful story teller and speaker with a great voice. im an avid fan of yours and cant get enough of your vids regardless of the subject. do you have more stories about weird radio phenomena? please tell them. maybe explain some strange things (not necessarily paranormal) about radio phenomena and communications. i will enjoy whatever you come up with!
Hi Ray where about was this which Downs was the Carpark overlooking? . I used to be on am CB back in the late 70s early 80s and used to have a great time chatting and having Eye Balls and meet ups and parties great fun...one winter when it snowed a group of us who where mobile met up in a park next to a river to have a snowball fight and do some donuts and hand brake turns in the Snow, about 8 of us lifted up another CBers Mini and carried it into the river then we all drove off and left him there for about 1/2hr laughing and listening to him shouting for help on the CB lol😂we did eventually rescue him....Happy Memories....shame they didn't legalise am then but chose FM.....great Video..
My stepdad told me a story about when he was a kid back in the 50's he heard a transmission from the Lusitania as it was being sunk. I guess that signal must have bounced around for decades. He didn't know what the Lusitania was until he went to his dad and said there was a ship sinking and they needed to get help. his dad then told him that that ship sunk a long time ago. Not really a ghost story but still kind of spooky to hear a transmission from people that were just about to die from decades ago.
Hi Ray, great story. I was wondering is the site near the beacon of Brighton or Jack and Jill windmills? Be great to visit to see if she is still there.
Ha, great story! I do believe in the paranormal, I've seen some odd things before and it does happen, right place, right time kind of thing. I think Angela saw you as an escape out of that area, I think she was stuck there. Who knows who she was, why or how she died, more than likely in that area long ago. But she saw you as an escape because she could finally communicate with some one. It must have taken a lot of energy for her to do so, hence the short replies and an apparition. The fact that both you and your friend could both see her at the same time I believe means she was using as much energy as she could to show herself that strongly. That's why the car suddenly felt cold to you. She was pulling energy out of the area, possibly from the car it's self and you, she was sitting in the front seat. Who knows where she went after you drove out of there, but she got the ride she wanted out of that area, or she was desperate for some one to just plain see her. This planet can still be a mysterious place.
Dear Ray - you were really being wound up, which was the favourite pastime of most CBers back then! Or maybe the influence of too many brown bottles?! Roger Dodge. 10-4 Good Buddy. 10-10 ’til we do it again. Truck it on light.
Hi Ray. In the early 2000s just after my father died some times I would hear his whistling on topband. If I would whistle without even keying the microphone I who hear a whistle reply but faint and no s meter reading. It only happened over a week but was very interesting at the time. Thx Glenn.
Yer it was strange. Sometimes you could hear faint sounds similar to gun shots as well. Cause I remember my wife and I joking saying someone's having a battle lol. But this only would happen on topband. Cheers Ray.
Hi Ray, thanks for sharing yet another excellent video. Very interesting story. I have never tried CB radio, though I have heard signals occasionally on the scanner when checking for low VHF signals via DX. Anyway, take care. Robert.
Such things do exist though I have not had contact like this I have in other forms. It takes some getting used to and some persons can see/hear things more than others and I also believe that most electronics have some form of spirit or will of their own at times which could have been the case for your car or radio that bridged the gap. Most don't have bad intentions but are bothered by something or another, Most of my "encounters" so to say are shadows and shapes on old highways and intersections and are gone as fast as they appeared. Sometimes leaving me so shaken I have to park or come to a screeching halt in the middle of an empty intersection.
hi may i ask a question . i have goplana valve radio . i have a slight fault. FM LW SW working fine . MW desnt work i heard aslight white noise from mw as i move the needle to from left to right has your looking at it , the noise get slight louder not much any idea please be most greate full
Hi John, I only deal with 1940s British radios so I know nothing about that one. From what you've said, it could be the RF alignment out on medium wave. Either that, or a problem with the medium wave aerial coil. Sorry I can't be of more help. Cheers, Ray.
Love the story how you told it. Girlfriend souns excited: "its our first ghost" You: "what do you mean our first ghost, its our first and last" I guess, when you told the exact place where it happened, there will be much more cb traffic from now, if Angela still there. And yes my friend, there is more out there.
Let people laugh as they will.....I communicate regularly with spirit via spirit/ghost box radio...They are able to connect via cb radio also...I used illegal CB radio back in the 70's, it was great fun, but never encountered anything paranormal through one.....This is very interesting tho, the ways they communicate never fails to amaze me.
