OM DENNE EPISODE
Did the rise of 19th century technologies - such as radio - lead to an increase in ghostly sightings? That’s the question Atlantic writer Derek Thompson asked on Twitter this week and it brought to mind a 1930s piece from the archive titled: Weird, Ghostly and “Supernatural” Antics of the Radio that could hint at an answer (yes!) The 1931 San Francisco Examiner peice consisted of a heavily illustrated two-page spread about fictitious reports of ghostly sounds, prompted by the rise of radio boradcasting. It explored reports of strange sounds eminating from everyday objects - which some thought were supernatural forces - but experts insisted were actually rogue radio waves being picked up by metal objects.
