> When I was a kid (1940's)we used to hike to a place called "Big Rock" on a mountain above Hazard, Ky. It really was a house-sized rock. We would sit quietly on top of the rock and and listen. Sometimes you could hear music or people talking. It was faint but you could hear it. It also didn't seem to come from any particular direction. There were no houses within a mile or more. We were on a high point of a ridge and could see a considerable distance. We were pretty sure that we were hearing radio waves. Even then, I guess that I knew that was impossible, but it seemed to be the best bet. At another location many miles from there, we used to hear church bells coming from a place where a church was torn down 50 years before. They occured only in the evening, in summer, but on any day of the week. If you went to the site of the old church, you heard nothing. Anybody else ever had such an experience?

That reminds me of a program I saw some time ago which spoke of a similar anomoly in an old English pub. Essentially, if the pub was quiet and one were to sit next to a certain wall, one could then hear voices. There was nothing on the other side of the wall to make the noise, investigators found the sounds to be eminating from the wall itself. As it turns out, the construction of the wall was directly responsible. The materials used, proportions, and other technical stuff turned out to be similar enough to a cassette tape that the wall actually recorded room sounds at some point in the past, and is now replaying them.
I know, it sounds terribly weird, but is it any weirder than both Gilligan and Julie Partridge picking up radio waves from their dental work?
