109.5 on your FM Dial: “The Ghost”

2:44pm Thursday
Saint Paul

Yesterday I wrote about the muffled radio I could hear at midnight…

which was no where to be found.

I was telling my kids about it. My wife chimed in:

“Oh, I heard it too!”

I guess on Tuesday morning, during her 6am workout, she heard that muffled radio.

Thought nothing of it at the time.

“The kids probably left on a radio,” said my wife.

So we checked all the radios, record players, and cassette decks we could find.

They were all set to “Off.”

Half were unplugged.

“Nope, not a radio. Unless its like the fortune telling machine in Big,” I said.

And then,

“Maybe there are people living in our walls, like Parasite.

She didn’t like that idea.

“Or maybe there’s a hatch that leads next to our basement, and its someone’s job to push a button every 108 minutes, like Lost.”

We checked. Didn’t find a hatch.

So what was it? The heating ducts? An ultrasonic audio beam pointed at our home? Metal fillings in our teeth getting radio signals from afar? Ghosts?

We’re stumped.

But as a precaution, I’ve sprinkled holy water in every room.

No business lesson today. No marketing insights.

Just wanted you to know I’m not completely batty.
