The Radio That Only Picks Up Voices After Midnight

The Midnight Broadcast Enigma

It always starts the same way…the static crackles, the clock clicks past midnight, and a voice whispers through the speaker — a voice that wasn’t there before.

For as long as radios have existed, there have been whispers of transmissions that only begin after midnight. Some sound like fragmented conversations. Others? Screams. Music. Names. Warnings. They vanish by dawn, leaving only the low hum of static behind.

This isn’t new. Reports of mysterious late-night voices stretch back to the golden age of radio. Some listeners claim they stumbled onto forgotten frequencies. Others insist they heard their own names whispered back to them. The scariest part? Most were alone. And most swear they were never able to find that exact frequency again.

Documented Instances of Late-Night Radio Anomalies

Let’s start with the most famous of them all: UVB-76.

Nicknamed “The Buzzer,” UVB-76 is a Russian shortwave station that’s broadcasted the same dull buzz since the 1970s. But sometimes, the buzz stops. A voice cuts in — flat, emotionless, usually reading numbers or code words. Then, the buzzing resumes like nothing happened.
