Fascinating, I remember my Mom listening to radio stations late at night (she liked having it on while asleep), and as we lived in Connecticut at the time, she could receive stations as far away as Canada, which impressed me.
Top5s could easily give us all heart attacks by startling us with a big scares in his videos but he doesn't! Thus saving many lives of his fans trust him with.. What a man
These don't actually sound creepy to me. I suppose if you grew up in the era of old radios (like I did), most of what you picked up inbetween proper radio stations, was static, and other strange noises. We were very poor growing up, and our only source of music was the radio. I am sure I actually remember picking up morse code in static between radio stations, which fascinated me. Kind of miss those days..... Radio Caroline etc lol
What's creepy is the mystery of the origin and purpose. Radio is still very much alive, though. Go get a cheap shortwave receiver and tune around at night!
I am so with you, did the same thing as a kid. Was always fascinated with radio. I loved hearing the odd sounds, plus trying to pick up distant stations.My favorite was WLS Chicago late at night. I could barely keep my eyes open next day at school. Later, spent 22yrs as a radio D J . I still take out an old AM radio I have and ear phones and slowly ez the dial down, just to see what I can hear. 📻
My uncle gave me an old tube radio that could receive from 160 meters to 10 meters. I listened to that thing all growing up and eventually put up a 20 meter long dipole. There was all manner of weirdness I listened to over the years. There was a group of HAMs on 80 meters that talked about paranormal subjects at night. I've always wondered if one of them was Art Bell. I bought a Nooelec Software Defined Radio last month so I'm getting back on SWR when I figure out a good antenna system. If you get one plan on getting a separate antenna right away. The ones you get with them are good for receiving FM radio and maybe some local GMRS.
I was walking in the forest trail near my house alone at 10 pm, and this video popped up, and I was like fuck it, I'll watch it, so I watched it in pitch black at night in the forest. Booom
Most of these transmissions are what's called "channel markers". They are meant to monopolize a certain frequency most of the time, and allow a certain receiving entity to tune in on them exactly. They may be songs, language loops, tones, digital bursts, or just the repitition of a letter in morse code. The receiving person tunes in at a specific time for a message (in the case of spy stations), which are sent briefly and not often heard. Some may be military use instead of spy transmissions. The reason why spies continue to use shortwave for info is because anyone can be expected to have a shortwave radio, so no suspicion there. Receiving long-distance messages any other way can be tracked down or recorded. Many of these stations have been tracked down to specific sites overseas; some at commercial broadcast sites sharing an antenna. Spooky, creepy, strange, yes... but only because they are "not intended for public consumption". Plenty of radio geeks spend hours listening to and logging this stuff!
I remember when I was younger a friend and I were messing around with some walkie talkies in the woods. I think we accidentally picked up the frequency of a pilot talking to ground control (we live close to a small runway) and we started freaking out thinking someone was spying on us and planning to kidnap us. Needless to say I didn't use anything radio related for the next year or so.
Number 4 is actually a standard radio transmission signaling all clear. Almost as in explaining orders are to go as normal. It is easier than broadcasting in voice as the patterns are more secretive
As an avid Amateur Radio Op for over 50-years, I've found that the USSR/Russia very often used/uses the 40M ham band (7.0-7.3 Mhz) for all manner of odd signals. Between 9 PM and dawn (LA time) is the best time to listen, especially when Japanese/European stations are heard. Propagation is very poor these days due to the sunspot minimum, but 40M can come alive occasionally during these hours.
I have an even more puzzling experience. Sometime around 2000-2001, I was listening to some CD's via headphones at home on my stereo. I had ejected the disc, and was rifling through the stack of CD's picking out the next one to listen to, and I was hearing this strange sound faintly over my headphones. I reached over and turned the volume up, and I was hearing a long string of numbers, and letters in military style. Alpha, delta, Lima etc. The receiver wasn't even on. I had to strain to hear it, even with the volume all the way up, but it was definitely some type of communication in code.
What, no Buzzer (UVB-76) on 4625 kHz? Or Woodpecker? You've got to include those classics. Many people say that with the internet, radio has died off. Well, for AM/FM music commercial broadcasting, that may be true. But take a listen along the bands and you'll hear things that make this Top5 seem very tame. Radio systems should never be totally abandoned by governments and citizens alike. It's a marvelous backup in case of emergencies when the internet and cell phones will predictably go down.
The Buzzer is actually still being broadcast and like nobody knows the real purpose of the broadcast. I've tried listening to it many time but I'm never successful
Top5s is seriously THE BEST channel on UA-cam. I know there are many conspiracy and mystery channels, but there's nothing else like it. Amazing. Keep up the good work.
+Bipro Narayan Habisyasi Yes.. us his "job" was in communication... Never really told me anything but we moved all over every three months till I was in 7 the grade..
@George98 "Und nun, die Sendung für das aufgeweckte Kind!" (Hört genau zu!?) ("And now, the show for the bright child!") ("Listen carefully!") "Alle meine Entchen," (An alle Agenten?) (To all agents?) "..schwimmen auf dem See.." (Egal wo Ihr gerade seid?) (No matter where you are just?) " " " " "...Köpfchen in das Wasser,..." (Taucht ab?) (Submerse?) "...Schwänzchen in die Höh´!" (Ändert eure Identität?) (Change your identity?)
The gong station plays a german song for kids, for me it sounds like its sung by grown men the lyrics are "Alle meine Entchen, schwimmen auf dem See, schwimmen auf dem See, Köpfchen unterm Wasser, Schwänzchen in die Höhe."
1992Hauke even as a non-german person, i can clearly hear these words. im sincerely freaked out by it ahaha... also whats: 'entchen' and why are their heads under water..? are you drowning things in childrens songs????
Yeah right? Knowing what it says doesn't make it better, it makes it worse :D And no the lyrics are "All my little duckling swimming on the lake, swimming on the lake, head is under water rump up in the air" it discribes the way ducks are looking for food by diving
Yes that is an old german childrens carol that is being sung in kindergarten and places alike, sung by parents to get their infants to sleep etc. basically every parent here in germany knows this song as well as every child (maybe not the current generations anymore...). The version on the Gong-Channel sounds like either played slower and/or pitched down or like some drunk guys would sing it. So its not an OBVIOUS hidden code, after all there might be something underneath or whatever. but broadcasting that in this form over radio is still strange
i understand now haha :D as a non-german, not knowing this song, and not knowing the word Entchen, but hearing this song so slowly and spookily, the words (that i did understand) sounded very scary, haha :P
Fairly accurate. Pip and squeaky wheel however are MVD and SVR broadcast stations though. Heavily evidenced by the fact that squeaky wheel and UVB 76 became extremely active during the crimea crisis which heavily involved the MVD and pip became active during putin's visit to southeast russia to speak with Kim Jong Un on the gas pipeline negotiations which had a lot of SVR officers involved. Most of these stations with the fast rapid pings though are just encrypted communications or radars. Japanese slot machine is a good example
Radio waves can bounce around in many strange ways.. I've heard them from thousands of miles away, at times when I had trouble with transmission 5 miles away.. It's freaky.
A few weeks ago I was watching some old tv shows on my tablet through my cable providers "to go" app... Every time a show ended I could hear muffled talking (more like a scolding type of tone) on my headphones. I took off my headphones and couldn't hear anyone or anything so I put them back on and turned up the volume full blast and just listened. The voice was a man talking about religion from what I could get from it. It was creepy because 1. I was up alone at 3am (like now) and 2. The station was getting picked up on a cheap pair of headphones I got from the bargain bin at Target. My more expensive ear buds did not pick up the same thing. Another thing that I wonder about its why my computer speakers make an electronic buzz/bloop sound when I am watching videos. My tv surround sound speakers do too sometimes. I could swear it happens every time an airplane flys overhead, but I could just be paranoid about things. It just amazes me that these electronic devices can pick up signals from anywhere when the "waves" are just right.
Never heard of these radio broadcasts until watching this video. I didn't even think there were other mystery stations apart from those that have been covered endlessly (backwards music station, Russian numbers station, etc) watching this really has me interested in this topic again.
sometimes i get so freaking scared at these sound videos because i can't help but think that the sounds are put out for a reason of like mind control or something and i get so afraid to listen to them
@@leesmith9467 Tin foil is no longer effective!! Only hats made from ™Unobtainium are able to do the job effectively. NB: Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get ya!
I remember when my family was driving back home from New York and we put on the radio. I was about to fall asleep in the back seat but then I started to hear wind and like a squeaky swing going back and forth. Sounded very creepy. It was coming from the radio station. My parents changed it to find some music. I was confused to why that radio station had those sounds. To this day, I am still trying to figure out what station it was and why it was playing that... Edit: just wanted to clarify that it wasn't a commercial. The swing and wind sounds went for a good 4 minutes before my parents changed the station.
one time in about 4th grade I was listening to 107.9 (I'm from CA) I had a very old radio. my sister got it for her 13th bday, she was about 19 at this time. the buttons were very broken so I was tapping them very fast to get back to my station, but I heard a very eerie voice almost like a very old running of a song from the 20s. like I was listening to it on a vintage radio. it was almost like us military secret messages. I haven't really talked about it because I didn't think it was very significant. it didn't scare me, just made me feel weird. we never know what could be just under the activities we do everyday.
i use to listen to 107.9 from CA.... at night it would play a weird tune but when i changed it the radio would go silent and the host would say "sorry for the issues folks were having some trouble....same thing happened months later then it finely stop...man that scared the shit out of me.
Sorry it's a year late but 108 MHz is VHF which is mostly line of sight- meaning what you heard, if it wasn't coming from the regular radio station, likely was within a 10 or so mile radius of you, depending on topography.
The Gong Radio Station was from DDR and you actually presented not only one, but several broadcasts overlaying each other including the very last broadcast where some men sung a german kids song.
A short comment on number 3: the text you can hear is german and it is a song for children "Alle meine Entchen" is it name. It is pretty hard to hear but they sing the sing: Alle meine Entchen schwimmen auf dem See, schwimmen auf dem See Köpfchen in das Wasser Schwänzchen in die Höh. I hope it can help in some way.
And - following a documentation about so called number stations - it was the secret service of the armed forces of eastern germany when they stopped their duty after the fall of the wall.
Terrial H I don't know. There's something so eerie and lonely about radio waves. I can just picture radio masts in the middle of Siberia, with weird interferences that just sound so disturbing. There's a sense of mystery, a sense of the unknown i guess.
Not really electic, but "elecromagnetic," or simply "magnetic." We call it EM, because electricity can create EM interference just as much as simple magnets do. But, if you're weirded out by that, just think of how much light goes off into space never to be seen, because it was from a star, but didn't head off in the direction of earth
Average Alien: Yeah as a kid I was given this big bulky handheld (just about handheld) CB radio and a radio scanner (you could listen to cops in UK back then with scanner by my HAM radio mad uncle. It was like 2 housebricks stacked lengthways in size and a ridiculously long extendable arial I could swear I remember being 6 foot long. Was late 80's early 90's when I had those and I remember for months I'd spend my nights scanning through the channels or finding folk to talk with and yeah being a kid likely some messing with people too. Occasionally i'd hear faint or garbled/maybe other language voices or just some really wierd eerie sounds, definately remember hearing number counting as well at times. I used to try and imagine who or what transmitted them and why. Maybe some lonely person in some shack in the middle of some cold windswept plains far from civilisation or mysterious radio transmitters whose only purpose the military or intelligence agencies of the worlds various countries will ever know. I got one of those RTL-SDR sticks from a friend a little while ago, so far i've managed to get it grabbing pager messages which various services use. I didn't think pagers were used much these days so was quite cool to see hundreds of pages per hour zipping around the airwaves.
I remember listening to most of these as a kid. My dad called them "spy stations", and that was enough of a thrill for the 8 year old girl I was at the time.
The Gong Station : It is a german song for children called "Alle meine Entchen" German: Alle meine Entchen Schwimmen auf dem See, Schwimmen auf dem See, Köpfchen in das Wasser, Schwänzchen in die Höh. English: All my ducklings Swimming on the lake, Swimming on the lake, Heads in the water, Little tails up in the air!
Radio really has that creepy, ethereal, “other side” vibe to it. Radio/radio static/garbled adio transmissions are all very natural horror movie elements.
Proper procedure for any Top5s video: 1. Find something to snack on & drink. 2. Turn off the lights. 3. Get comfy as fuck with blanket & feet kicked up. 4. Like video, subscribe & click the little notifications bell if you haven't already. 5. Watch with utmost interest & respect with no interruptions. 6. Leave short comment telling Top5s how awesome he is. Done.
Fact: The Gong station or G03, at it's last transmission, broadcasted a song. There was a friend of mine that thought the STASI G03 operators was drunk. But it was a farewell transmission regarding of before the reunification of Germany.
I used to work Custodial for Disney and would get off of work every night around 10 and would go out with co-workers to diner. One night we were talking about the paranormal, which is fun because lot's of strange things happen at the happiest place in the world. But anyway we were following my co-workers car because we didn't all fit in one and i was driving. My co-worked told me to tune into a radio broadcast that talked of the paranormal, after a while we were really into our conversation so i turned the radio down so we could fully listen to each other. After a while I noticed that the sound coming from the radio was louder than i had thought I placed it and that the radio station was playing a deep chanting like a constant OHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, so I asked my co-workers hey what the heck are we listening to? The ohm was constant and uninterupted, when I turned it up the radio show came back up and we freaked out because we couldn't get that OHHHHMMMM to come back on... I turned that radio off after that... That actually isn't the only time this has happened to me. In a different car and a much earlier year, I went to go see the movie white noise with my cousin and one of her friends, at that time I would blast the radio super loud, and when I turned the car off I did not turn the radio off I only turned it down. When we were done watching the movie (which was good until the reveal at the end that ruined the movie) we got back in the car and the radio was playing white noise but when I went to turn the knob, which meant I had to turn the volume down all the way and click it, the music instantly came back. Needless to say he hightailed it home and did NOT play music on the way back.
A radio broadcast about the paranormal? That had to be Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell! That's so cool you experienced something strange while trying to tune into a show all about strange happenings in this world! I fully believe Disney is haunted though. Love hearing the stories employees have to tell!
I love your videos! They're the perfect combination of creepy and interesting. I was wondering if you could do one on Easter Island? I've heard a few creepy tales and think it would be cool for others as well. Thanks for making the videos!!
AlabamaWhiteGuy nice point. there's the joke about NASA getting signals and as usual not being able to decipher them. so they beam a reply back, and in due time get an understand able reply: "We weren't talking to you".
im no expert but i would assume this is encrypted information using the SAS\STAT format for example: Van Slyke, Andy 418 113 13 48 61 47 4 1512 392 41 205 204 203 National East StLouis RF 211 11 7 550
I should have made a recording of 455.02 MHz. It was really strange sounding. It sounded vaguely like continuous chirping crickets and a varying audio tone around 1000 Hz. While this may have been puzzling to many scanner enthusiasts, it was not mysterious to me, because I was the engineer who set it up. It was the telemetry link from the WKHY transmitter back to the studio. The transmission originated from a 2.5W Marti NBFM transmitter driving a yagi about 160 feet above ground on the transmitter tower. The "chirping crickets" was actually a series of tones at 2300, 2500, and 2700 Hz which conveyed the information to drive an alarm status panel at the studio, informing the operator of various conditions at the transmitter site. The varying tone around 1000 Hz was actually the analog metering signal: 800 Hz = 0, 1000 Hz = mid-scale, 1200 Hz = full-scale. The meter, and hence the signal frequency often bounced around because the operator usually had the modulation monitor metering selected, and so it would vary with modulation of the main transmitter. The remote control system which generated the signals was one of the workhorses of the broadcast industry during the 1980s, a Moseley TRC-15. You see them in pictures of many radio and TV station control rooms of that era. The alarm status panel was a much older Moseley product, I've never seen one elsewhere. So, there's a mysterious sounding signal explained.
In the summer of 1974 in New Mexico, there was a radio transmission in the summer of a kid saying that his name was Larry. The kid was saying that his parents were in the SUV with him with his father driving. They were going through a deserted desert road when the road collapsed into an underground tunnel. The front of the RV was crushed, killing his parents. However Larry was in the back of the RV with a bed and a kitchen. Larry who said he was 9 years old found the shortwave radio. He could only see the blue sky in hole above him where the RV collapsed. Now police was notified and they ran a search along with the news crews all over the area. No one ever found anything. Even firefighters with civilians turned it into a search and rescue crews but nothing or no one not even a sink hole was found. Larry came on in the evening calling for help on the short wave radio. Even truckers in the area kept a lookout and listened over their CB radio. This went on every day for three weeks. Then one day Larry was never heard from again. It's thought that the radio transmission was coming from deserted desert land in Central New Mexico south of Socorro. If you hear that coast to coast radio talk show someone suggested the radio message may have come from an alternate dimension. Larry always seemed to transmit at sunset. It's really creepy Twilight Zone type case which has never been solved.
I've been creeping myself out watching your channel late at night for a couple of years now. I noticed Watch Mojo is doing top 5 lists with a special logo that looks very similar to your logo. There appear to be a few channels here on UA-cam knocking off your channel, even right down to the logo. There are other legit channels who having been posting these sort of videos for a while now. You are definitely one of the better ones. Keep it up!
I reckon numbers stations are ways of communicating information to agents in other countries. They always broadcast the numbers and that just after a news worthy event. I did some digging a while ago and found people saying that agents are probably given a one time use cypher so they can decode what's been said. No idea how they'd get it, dead drops maybe? I think it's rather interesting. Of course far easier to hide at home and listen to a radio than check an encrypted email or something. The weird noises are just channel markers so nobody steals that freauency. The thing I find really weird is that they're live broadcasts. You look at UVB-76 and that is a manually generated sound, there's been chatter in the background occasionally. I find it really interesting and mysterious that these secret methods of communication exist out there.
This morning on my way to school, we came upon a station that was playing a sequence of letters like w.m.c.a. and then said "will arrive in 3 days" then repeated
So a new station is coming to your area on that frequency with the callsign WMCA. It's 11 months since your comment has been posted. Is it a good station? Any good music?
About twenty five years ago, I was up late, at about three AM, tinkering with some machinery and listening to my AM/FM/tape deck walkman (back when those were practically state of the art). The walkman had five preset station buttons, but also a digital auto-tuner that allowed the listener to skip through stations. It would scroll until it received a hit on broadcast, and then stick. I'm sure those of you who had one of these know what I mean. Anyway, I was sitting at my workbench, and went through all of my five preset stations, but all were either playing music I didn't like, or commercials. So I hit the auto-tune button and waited. Somewhere between 103 and the end of the range, the tuner stuck. This caught me off-guard, because there was no station in that range. I then auto-tuned back, got the station before, and auto-tuned forward to get the station after (in the 90's range, as the dial went all the way around), thus confirming that the auto-tune was getting a broadcast from somewhere in that gap. Why did I do this? Why did I care? Because what I heard was so unsettling, it stunned me. At first, I wasn't certain it was real. I skipped back and forth a dozen times to see if I could catch it again. Every time I hit it, it again stunned me, because the sound came out of nowhere. I swear to you, it sounded like what one might imagine as the pits of hell. Screaming, wailing, moaning, sometimes many voices at once, sometimes dimmed, sometimes one came to the fore, and so on. I finally settled on the station and waited, thinking it had to be a prank. I recalled several (at the time recent) situations in which radio or television signals were highjacked for prank broadcasts, and so was waiting to see if it would suddenly drop. No such luck. The signal went on for nearly three hours. It unnerved me so much I took off my headphones and left them sitting there, checking in regularly. Sometime around sunrise, I checked in, and the sound was gone. I skipped forward and back, but there was no longer a sticking point to the auto-tuner. The signal had vanished. It was a very strange experience.
Ive heard of a signal coming out of the ozarks that was called death radio or somthing like that. My friends who heard it while they were out drinking on a backrosd one night said it scared the shit out of them.
Man, so awesome, I heard the HAARP transmissions on Shortwave radio, years ago, whilst Art Bell was talking about it, R.I.P. ART Bell ..creepy yet so damn fascinating..
It gets even creepier - one year ago for a couple of weeks, every time i was on my mobile phone, some seconds or minutes in the conversation the sound changed in a alienish/demonic high pitched chatter - and i was the only one able to hear it. Even my provider couldn't tell the cause.

Deedi, Yep, heard what sound like voices in the background and even footsteps or clunk noises of doors shutting.
Good video always loved this topic. Your #1 features two separate stations actually. The first sound clip you play is the Backwards Music Station and the second clip you follow with is known as Faders. If you want to listen to an endless supply of numbers stations, check out the Conet Project. It's a vast chronicle of recordings over many decades.
Hearing about this stuff makes me want to run The Hobbit through an Enigma encoder and start reading out the result: ALFA VICTOR YANKEE CHARLIE ECHO GOLF....
It's quite simple, really: #4 - 3:12 - those are bird calls and the birds are sick. #3 - 4:32 - that's a party and everyone is drunk. #2 - 5:40 - that's the sound of the M314 Motion Tracker (A.K.A. Motion Scanner) from the movie "Alien" and Russian instructions on how to use it. #1 - 6:35 - that...well, someone is trying REALLY hard to master both the violin and flute.
I remember watching this 3 years ago and finding these scary. And now, 3 years later, I find this stuff fascinating instead of creepy. Who knows how many number stations and propaganda get transmitted on the shortwave spectrum that no one discover.
Theory for number 4: It could be as simple as a status report for some ongoing project or operation. That steady beeping could mean "everything is well" or something similar. If there were a problem, or if they needed to relay any message, all they would have to do is change the noises to a different rhythm/tones/noises, etc. There may be an entire list of patterns and what they mean. The benefits are obvious: 1. No actual information is going out. Unless you have the manual of what the patterns mean, they are just beeps. No actual speech or even garbled code to break. 2. Broadcasting in the open, but with something so obscure has the one-two punch of no one else understanding and the feeling that an important signal that public can't be THAT important. Just fun speculation on my part. :)
Phlarb that honestly makes a lot of sense. Probably the best theory I've read so far on these number stations. The same theory can also apply to the squeaky wheel.
Its plausible, but many of the Russian stations like The pip, Squeaky Wheel, The Buzzer, have changed tones several times in what seemed to be permanent equipment changes. So the theory of them being Doomsday stations or Audio Cues for other operations has been debunked as much as it can be. the most well supported theory (which is mentioned in the vid)is that they are just noises to reserve the stations for messages which do regularly interrupt the broadcasts. Some of them are so regular and timely, people have even uploaded schedules in case you want to listen in. Using distinctively different noises to reserve the stations ensures that each station can be identified quickly and accurately. Aviation does a similar thing with Radio Navigation stations like VOR and ADF stations although with Morse Code so you can identify that you are indeed tuned into the correct frequency. The radio stations are still spooky though, because the Russian stations are still technically number stations. The information passed on through the verbal messages is still unknown as its code words and numbers.
I just imagine someone sitting in front of a microphone and making strange sounds, only to confuse the listeners xD
Maybe It's computer robots talking to other computer robots
Cindy Marie lol
seeamerica1 what are you smoking
Cindy Marie that’s why you have to have a licence, so there are theoretically fewer idiots apt to do something like that, which is against the law.
Just imagine someone sitting in the middle of nowhere and hearing those strange sounds

Focus on the number station!
If you can hear the numbers it means someone is watching you.

These don't actually sound creepy to me. I suppose if you grew up in the era of old radios (like I did), most of what you picked up inbetween proper radio stations, was static, and other strange noises. We were very poor growing up, and our only source of music was the radio. I am sure I actually remember picking up morse code in static between radio stations, which fascinated me. Kind of miss those days..... Radio Caroline etc lol
Good old Caroline North and South...I listened to both of them.
What's creepy is the mystery of the origin and purpose.
Radio is still very much alive, though. Go get a cheap shortwave receiver and tune around at night!
The only thing you can find today on AM band in Siberia is morse code and Chinese propaganda radio like in Fallout 3. Nothing unusual...
I am so with you, did the same thing as a kid. Was always fascinated with radio. I loved hearing the odd sounds, plus trying to pick up distant stations.My favorite was WLS Chicago late at night. I could barely keep my eyes open next day at school. Later, spent 22yrs as a radio D J . I still take out an old AM radio I have and ear phones and slowly ez the dial down, just to see what I can hear. 📻
My uncle gave me an old tube radio that could receive from 160 meters to 10 meters. I listened to that thing all growing up and eventually put up a 20 meter long dipole. There was all manner of weirdness I listened to over the years.
There was a group of HAMs on 80 meters that talked about paranormal subjects at night. I've always wondered if one of them was Art Bell.
I bought a Nooelec Software Defined Radio last month so I'm getting back on SWR when I figure out a good antenna system. If you get one plan on getting a separate antenna right away. The ones you get with them are good for receiving FM radio and maybe some local GMRS.
I was walking in the forest trail near my house alone at 10 pm, and this video popped up, and I was like fuck it, I'll watch it, so I watched it in pitch black at night in the forest. Booom
IronMan BatmanMashup you crazy man xD
LoL
You must have amazing reception in that cel phone of yours to be able to watch youtube in a forest trail.
Oh hell no!!
Most of these transmissions are what's called "channel markers". They are meant to monopolize a certain frequency most of the time, and allow a certain receiving entity to tune in on them exactly. They may be songs, language loops, tones, digital bursts, or just the repitition of a letter in morse code. The receiving person tunes in at a specific time for a message (in the case of spy stations), which are sent briefly and not often heard. Some may be military use instead of spy transmissions. The reason why spies continue to use shortwave for info is because anyone can be expected to have a shortwave radio, so no suspicion there. Receiving long-distance messages any other way can be tracked down or recorded. Many of these stations have been tracked down to specific sites overseas; some at commercial broadcast sites sharing an antenna. Spooky, creepy, strange, yes... but only because they are "not intended for public consumption". Plenty of radio geeks spend hours listening to and logging this stuff!
I remember when I was younger a friend and I were messing around with some walkie talkies in the woods. I think we accidentally picked up the frequency of a pilot talking to ground control (we live close to a small runway) and we started freaking out thinking someone was spying on us and planning to kidnap us. Needless to say I didn't use anything radio related for the next year or so.
Number 4 is actually a standard radio transmission signaling all clear. Almost as in explaining orders are to go as normal. It is easier than broadcasting in voice as the patterns are more secretive
As an avid Amateur Radio Op for over 50-years, I've found that the USSR/Russia very often used/uses the 40M ham band (7.0-7.3 Mhz) for all manner of odd signals. Between 9 PM and dawn (LA time) is the best time to listen, especially when Japanese/European stations are heard. Propagation is very poor these days due to the sunspot minimum, but 40M can come alive occasionally during these hours.
I have an even more puzzling experience. Sometime around 2000-2001, I was listening to some CD's via headphones at home on my stereo. I had ejected the disc, and was rifling through the stack of CD's picking out the next one to listen to, and I was hearing this strange sound faintly over my headphones. I reached over and turned the volume up, and I was hearing a long string of numbers, and letters in military style. Alpha, delta, Lima etc. The receiver wasn't even on. I had to strain to hear it, even with the volume all the way up, but it was definitely some type of communication in code.
observer of madness creepy!
That's happened near cell towers when tuning car radio to am station...
So fucking creepy my eyes watered

What, no Buzzer (UVB-76) on 4625 kHz? Or Woodpecker? You've got to include those classics.
Many people say that with the internet, radio has died off. Well, for AM/FM music commercial broadcasting, that may be true. But take a listen along the bands and you'll hear things that make this Top5 seem very tame.
Radio systems should never be totally abandoned by governments and citizens alike. It's a marvelous backup in case of emergencies when the internet and cell phones will predictably go down.
The "Woodpecker" was a signal that interfered phones when Soviets launched their Duga-3 anti-ICBM radar.
Most of the sounds you hear now are different modes of radioteletype or weatherfax.
Robbie R. Esq. yeah at least the woodpecker
The Buzzer is actually still being broadcast and like nobody knows the real purpose of the broadcast.
I've tried listening to it many time but I'm never successful
Robbie R. Esq. also no Swedish rhapsody or Lincolnshire poacher

The gong station plays a german song for kids, for me it sounds like its sung by grown men the lyrics are "Alle meine Entchen, schwimmen auf dem See, schwimmen auf dem See, Köpfchen unterm Wasser, Schwänzchen in die Höhe."
1992Hauke even as a non-german person, i can clearly hear these words. im sincerely freaked out by it ahaha... also whats: 'entchen' and why are their heads under water..? are you drowning things in childrens songs????
channie1210 entchen are ducks and they're just diving ;)
Yeah right? Knowing what it says doesn't make it better, it makes it worse :D And no the lyrics are "All my little duckling swimming on the lake, swimming on the lake, head is under water rump up in the air" it discribes the way ducks are looking for food by diving
Yes that is an old german childrens carol that is being sung in kindergarten and places alike, sung by parents to get their infants to sleep etc. basically every parent here in germany knows this song as well as every child (maybe not the current generations anymore...). The version on the Gong-Channel sounds like either played slower and/or pitched down or like some drunk guys would sing it. So its not an OBVIOUS hidden code, after all there might be something underneath or whatever. but broadcasting that in this form over radio is still strange
i understand now haha :D as a non-german, not knowing this song, and not knowing the word Entchen, but hearing this song so slowly and spookily, the words (that i did understand) sounded very scary, haha :P
No doubt some of this signals are "pings" to keep military equipment in a certain state of operation, Some for keeping time syncronised etc
Fairly accurate. Pip and squeaky wheel however are MVD and SVR broadcast stations though.
Heavily evidenced by the fact that squeaky wheel and UVB 76 became extremely active during the crimea crisis which heavily involved the MVD and pip became active during putin's visit to southeast russia to speak with Kim Jong Un on the gas pipeline negotiations which had a lot of SVR officers involved.
Most of these stations with the fast rapid pings though are just encrypted communications or radars. Japanese slot machine is a good example
this is exactly what I thought!
Radio waves can bounce around in many strange ways.. I've heard them from thousands of miles away, at times when I had trouble with transmission 5 miles away.. It's freaky.
A few weeks ago I was watching some old tv shows on my tablet through my cable providers "to go" app... Every time a show ended I could hear muffled talking (more like a scolding type of tone) on my headphones. I took off my headphones and couldn't hear anyone or anything so I put them back on and turned up the volume full blast and just listened. The voice was a man talking about religion from what I could get from it. It was creepy because 1. I was up alone at 3am (like now) and 2. The station was getting picked up on a cheap pair of headphones I got from the bargain bin at Target. My more expensive ear buds did not pick up the same thing.
Another thing that I wonder about its why my computer speakers make an electronic buzz/bloop sound when I am watching videos. My tv surround sound speakers do too sometimes. I could swear it happens every time an airplane flys overhead, but I could just be paranoid about things. It just amazes me that these electronic devices can pick up signals from anywhere when the "waves" are just right.
wow now thats crazy
The Gong Station is singing a German Kids Song "Alle meine Entchen."
Also the last one was definitely a guy reciting numbers.
wtf thats crepy
Still creepy
cool
Yes I heard that too immediately that it was that song
Never heard of these radio broadcasts until watching this video. I didn't even think there were other mystery stations apart from those that have been covered endlessly (backwards music station, Russian numbers station, etc) watching this really has me interested in this topic again.
sometimes i get so freaking scared at these sound videos because i can't help but think that the sounds are put out for a reason of like mind control or something and i get so afraid to listen to them
Hazel Hazel
possibly mind control or sounds of demons from another dimension especially the last one

I remember when my family was driving back home from New York and we put on the radio. I was about to fall asleep in the back seat but then I started to hear wind and like a squeaky swing going back and forth. Sounded very creepy. It was coming from the radio station. My parents changed it to find some music. I was confused to why that radio station had those sounds. To this day, I am still trying to figure out what station it was and why it was playing that...
Edit: just wanted to clarify that it wasn't a commercial. The swing and wind sounds went for a good 4 minutes before my parents changed the station.
GreyCloud perhaps the Squeaky Wheel,
GreyCloud also depends when you heard this, if before 2007, it could have been the Squeaky Wheel
GreyCloud maybe radio static it happens sometimes to me
yea radio static sounds like wind sometimes, so does a CW filter
It actually might be a commercial because I once got a commercial that was 40 minutes long. But I could skip it

Another settlement needs your help.
one time in about 4th grade I was listening to 107.9 (I'm from CA) I had a very old radio. my sister got it for her 13th bday, she was about 19 at this time. the buttons were very broken so I was tapping them very fast to get back to my station, but I heard a very eerie voice almost like a very old running of a song from the 20s. like I was listening to it on a vintage radio. it was almost like us military secret messages. I haven't really talked about it because I didn't think it was very significant. it didn't scare me, just made me feel weird. we never know what could be just under the activities we do everyday.
i use to listen to 107.9 from CA.... at night it would play a weird tune but when i changed it the radio would go silent and the host would say "sorry for the issues folks were having some trouble....same thing happened months later then it finely stop...man that scared the shit out of me.
Sorry it's a year late but 108 MHz is VHF which is mostly line of sight- meaning what you heard, if it wasn't coming from the regular radio station, likely was within a 10 or so mile radius of you, depending on topography.
the"take a listen" soothes my soul
The Gong Radio Station was from DDR and you actually presented not only one, but several broadcasts overlaying each other including the very last broadcast where some men sung a german kids song.

A short comment on number 3: the text you can hear is german and it is a song for children "Alle meine Entchen" is it name.
It is pretty hard to hear but they sing the sing: Alle meine Entchen schwimmen auf dem See, schwimmen auf dem See Köpfchen in das Wasser Schwänzchen in die Höh. I hope it can help in some way.
Yeah I'm not hearing it. Love that song. Miss my poor duckys.
Oh yes, thank you!👍 I hear it now too! Not creepy anymore, lol!😂
And - following a documentation about so called number stations - it was the secret service of the armed forces of eastern germany when they stopped their duty after the fall of the wall.

just the thought of radio waves themselves terrifies me. And the electrical signals used to interpret them
Terrial H I don't know. There's something so eerie and lonely about radio waves. I can just picture radio masts in the middle of Siberia, with weird interferences that just sound so disturbing.
There's a sense of mystery, a sense of the unknown i guess.
Average Alien same
Not really electic, but "elecromagnetic," or simply "magnetic." We call it EM, because electricity can create EM interference just as much as simple magnets do. But, if you're weirded out by that, just think of how much light goes off into space never to be seen, because it was from a star, but didn't head off in the direction of earth
Average Alien: Yeah as a kid I was given this big bulky handheld (just about handheld) CB radio and a radio scanner (you could listen to cops in UK back then with scanner by my HAM radio mad uncle. It was like 2 housebricks stacked lengthways in size and a ridiculously long extendable arial I could swear I remember being 6 foot long. Was late 80's early 90's when I had those and I remember for months I'd spend my nights scanning through the channels or finding folk to talk with and yeah being a kid likely some messing with people too.
Occasionally i'd hear faint or garbled/maybe other language voices or just some really wierd eerie sounds, definately remember hearing number counting as well at times. I used to try and imagine who or what transmitted them and why. Maybe some lonely person in some shack in the middle of some cold windswept plains far from civilisation or mysterious radio transmitters whose only purpose the military or intelligence agencies of the worlds various countries will ever know.
I got one of those RTL-SDR sticks from a friend a little while ago, so far i've managed to get it grabbing pager messages which various services use. I didn't think pagers were used much these days so was quite cool to see hundreds of pages per hour zipping around the airwaves.
Average Alien Same here bro
this is gonna sound super weird but your voice is really soothing to listen to while delving deep into the creepy nature of your videos!

I used to work Custodial for Disney and would get off of work every night around 10 and would go out with co-workers to diner. One night we were talking about the paranormal, which is fun because lot's of strange things happen at the happiest place in the world. But anyway we were following my co-workers car because we didn't all fit in one and i was driving. My co-worked told me to tune into a radio broadcast that talked of the paranormal, after a while we were really into our conversation so i turned the radio down so we could fully listen to each other.
After a while I noticed that the sound coming from the radio was louder than i had thought I placed it and that the radio station was playing a deep chanting like a constant OHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, so I asked my co-workers hey what the heck are we listening to? The ohm was constant and uninterupted, when I turned it up the radio show came back up and we freaked out because we couldn't get that OHHHHMMMM to come back on... I turned that radio off after that...
That actually isn't the only time this has happened to me. In a different car and a much earlier year, I went to go see the movie white noise with my cousin and one of her friends, at that time I would blast the radio super loud, and when I turned the car off I did not turn the radio off I only turned it down. When we were done watching the movie (which was good until the reveal at the end that ruined the movie) we got back in the car and the radio was playing white noise but when I went to turn the knob, which meant I had to turn the volume down all the way and click it, the music instantly came back. Needless to say he hightailed it home and did NOT play music on the way back.
Holy shit that sounds crazy. How long ago was this?
A radio broadcast about the paranormal? That had to be Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell! That's so cool you experienced something strange while trying to tune into a show all about strange happenings in this world! I fully believe Disney is haunted though.

I should have made a recording of 455.02 MHz. It was really strange sounding. It sounded vaguely like continuous chirping crickets and a varying audio tone around 1000 Hz. While this may have been puzzling to many scanner enthusiasts, it was not mysterious to me, because I was the engineer who set it up. It was the telemetry link from the WKHY transmitter back to the studio. The transmission originated from a 2.5W Marti NBFM transmitter driving a yagi about 160 feet above ground on the transmitter tower. The "chirping crickets" was actually a series of tones at 2300, 2500, and 2700 Hz which conveyed the information to drive an alarm status panel at the studio, informing the operator of various conditions at the transmitter site. The varying tone around 1000 Hz was actually the analog metering signal: 800 Hz = 0, 1000 Hz = mid-scale, 1200 Hz = full-scale. The meter, and hence the signal frequency often bounced around because the operator usually had the modulation monitor metering selected, and so it would vary with modulation of the main transmitter. The remote control system which generated the signals was one of the workhorses of the broadcast industry during the 1980s, a Moseley TRC-15. You see them in pictures of many radio and TV station control rooms of that era. The alarm status panel was a much older Moseley product, I've never seen one elsewhere. So, there's a mysterious sounding signal explained.

The gong got all my hair stood up. Had to remove my earbuds for a sec because that was just too creepy.
In the summer of 1974 in New Mexico, there was a radio transmission in the summer of a kid saying that his name was Larry. The kid was saying that his parents were in the SUV with him with his father driving. They were going through a deserted desert road when the road collapsed into an underground tunnel. The front of the RV was crushed, killing his parents. However Larry was in the back of the RV with a bed and a kitchen. Larry who said he was 9 years old found the shortwave radio. He could only see the blue sky in hole above him where the RV collapsed. Now police was notified and they ran a search along with the news crews all over the area. No one ever found anything. Even firefighters with civilians turned it into a search and rescue crews but nothing or no one not even a sink hole was found. Larry came on in the evening calling for help on the short wave radio. Even truckers in the area kept a lookout and listened over their CB radio. This went on every day for three weeks. Then one day Larry was never heard from again. It's thought that the radio transmission was coming from deserted desert land in Central New Mexico south of Socorro. If you hear that coast to coast radio talk show someone suggested the radio message may have come from an alternate dimension. Larry always seemed to transmit at sunset. It's really creepy Twilight Zone type case which has never been solved.
I've been creeping myself out watching your channel late at night for a couple of years now. I noticed Watch Mojo is doing top 5 lists with a special logo that looks very similar to your logo. There appear to be a few channels here on UA-cam knocking off your channel, even right down to the logo. There are other legit channels who having been posting these sort of videos for a while now. You are definitely one of the better ones. Keep it up!
Not only amateur radio operators hear these strange sounds. Some of us have scanners and are constantly monitoring the radio waves.
I reckon numbers stations are ways of communicating information to agents in other countries. They always broadcast the numbers and that just after a news worthy event. I did some digging a while ago and found people saying that agents are probably given a one time use cypher so they can decode what's been said. No idea how they'd get it, dead drops maybe? I think it's rather interesting. Of course far easier to hide at home and listen to a radio than check an encrypted email or something. The weird noises are just channel markers so nobody steals that freauency. The thing I find really weird is that they're live broadcasts. You look at UVB-76 and that is a manually generated sound, there's been chatter in the background occasionally. I find it really interesting and mysterious that these secret methods of communication exist out there.
This morning on my way to school, we came upon a station that was playing a sequence of letters like w.m.c.a. and then said "will arrive in 3 days" then repeated
What's the station number?
TOP OF THE DIAL, RADIO 57 HOME OF THE GOOD GUYS! WMCA YEAH YEAH
So a new station is coming to your area on that frequency with the callsign WMCA. It's 11 months since your comment has been posted. Is it a good station? Any good music?
About twenty five years ago, I was up late, at about three AM, tinkering with some machinery and listening to my AM/FM/tape deck walkman (back when those were practically state of the art). The walkman had five preset station buttons, but also a digital auto-tuner that allowed the listener to skip through stations. It would scroll until it received a hit on broadcast, and then stick. I'm sure those of you who had one of these know what I mean. Anyway, I was sitting at my workbench, and went through all of my five preset stations, but all were either playing music I didn't like, or commercials. So I hit the auto-tune button and waited. Somewhere between 103 and the end of the range, the tuner stuck. This caught me off-guard, because there was no station in that range. I then auto-tuned back, got the station before, and auto-tuned forward to get the station after (in the 90's range, as the dial went all the way around), thus confirming that the auto-tune was getting a broadcast from somewhere in that gap. Why did I do this? Why did I care? Because what I heard was so unsettling, it stunned me. At first, I wasn't certain it was real. I skipped back and forth a dozen times to see if I could catch it again. Every time I hit it, it again stunned me, because the sound came out of nowhere. I swear to you, it sounded like what one might imagine as the pits of hell. Screaming, wailing, moaning, sometimes many voices at once, sometimes dimmed, sometimes one came to the fore, and so on. I finally settled on the station and waited, thinking it had to be a prank. I recalled several (at the time recent) situations in which radio or television signals were highjacked
for prank broadcasts, and so was waiting to see if it would suddenly drop. No such luck. The signal went on for nearly three hours. It unnerved me so much I took off my headphones and left them sitting there, checking in regularly. Sometime around sunrise, I checked in, and the sound was gone. I skipped forward and back, but there was no longer a sticking point to the auto-tuner. The signal had vanished. It was a very strange experience.
Ive heard of a signal coming out of the ozarks that was called death radio or somthing like that. My friends who heard it while they were out drinking on a backrosd one night said it scared the shit out of them.
I liked this video straight away as soon as I clicked on it lol. With Top5s, you just know it's gonna be good. ;-)
tbh, I've *NEVER* found Number Stations to be creepy. Mainly because there origins are always traced to Military or Government personal usage. :/
@Top5s :THE GONG IS A GERMAN SONG CALLED: ALLE MEINE ENTCHEN!
Just Slowed down
Ist a Song for children. Creepy...
Mathias Klaas holy shit you're right! I recognized it as well!
Man, so awesome, I heard the HAARP transmissions on Shortwave radio, years ago, whilst Art Bell was talking about it, R.I.P. ART Bell ..creepy yet so damn fascinating..
Sitting here headphones in ..... why did i do that for why!!!! Besides that good video as always man
Nice. I'm really fascinated by this sort of thing. In fact, I even sampled the "backwards music station" in a tune I made once. :)
has anyone ever been on the phone and then you hear someone else? I keep hearing what I believe is a cop call.... freaky.
It gets even creepier - one year ago for a couple of weeks, every time i was on my mobile phone, some seconds or minutes in the conversation the sound changed in a alienish/demonic high pitched chatter - and i was the only one able to hear it. Even my provider couldn't tell the cause.
Deedi,
Yep, heard what sound like voices in the background and even footsteps or clunk noises of doors shutting.
can you do a video about pets noticing ghost?
i love it! although ghosts are merely demons fucking with you
Ghosts aren’t actually a thing,sadly 😕
DMDRSN An how do you know ?
tell how they are real first ;)
@@Enzyomes we never know what is after the life
And i have a friend who actually saw one
It's so funny to hear the word "varmint" said in a British accent 😂
great vid keepm coming...love the fallout animations used awesome!
Good video always loved this topic. Your #1 features two separate stations actually. The first sound clip you play is the Backwards Music Station and the second clip you follow with is known as Faders.
If you want to listen to an endless supply of numbers stations, check out the Conet Project. It's a vast chronicle of recordings over many decades.
5am here... what time are you watching this, fam??
❤️
5am.

I'm inside your house... "fam"
TheKiroshi 11:59... It will be a time of illumination.
10:26pm ;-;
Heather Holt 10:20 am here on the east coast
TheKiroshi while you're here, mind doing the dishes? ☺️
The Russian station sounds like the inspiration for dubstep
Hearing about this stuff makes me want to run The Hobbit through an Enigma encoder and start reading out the result: ALFA VICTOR YANKEE CHARLIE ECHO GOLF....
It's quite simple, really:
#4 - 3:12 - those are bird calls and the birds are sick.
#3 - 4:32 - that's a party and everyone is drunk.
#2 - 5:40 - that's the sound of the M314 Motion Tracker (A.K.A. Motion Scanner) from the movie "Alien" and Russian instructions on how to use it.
#1 - 6:35 - that...well, someone is trying REALLY hard to master both the violin and flute.
very nice, please upload more videos about mysteries.
Number 1 sounds straight out of Silent Hill.
I remember watching this 3 years ago and finding these scary. And now, 3 years later, I find this stuff fascinating instead of creepy. Who knows how many number stations and propaganda get transmitted on the shortwave spectrum that no one discover.
Theory for number 4: It could be as simple as a status report for some ongoing project or operation. That steady beeping could mean "everything is well" or something similar. If there were a problem, or if they needed to relay any message, all they would have to do is change the noises to a different rhythm/tones/noises, etc. There may be an entire list of patterns and what they mean.
The benefits are obvious:
1. No actual information is going out. Unless you have the manual of what the patterns mean, they are just beeps. No actual speech or even garbled code to break.
2. Broadcasting in the open, but with something so obscure has the one-two punch of no one else understanding and the feeling that an important signal that public can't be THAT important.
Just fun speculation on my part. :)
Phlarb that honestly makes a lot of sense. Probably the best theory I've read so far on these number stations. The same theory can also apply to the squeaky wheel.
Its plausible, but many of the Russian stations like The pip, Squeaky Wheel, The Buzzer, have changed tones several times in what seemed to be permanent equipment changes. So the theory of them being Doomsday stations or Audio Cues for other operations has been debunked as much as it can be. the most well supported theory (which is mentioned in the vid)is that they are just noises to reserve the stations for messages which do regularly interrupt the broadcasts. Some of them are so regular and timely, people have even uploaded schedules in case you want to listen in. Using distinctively different noises to reserve the stations ensures that each station can be identified quickly and accurately. Aviation does a similar thing with Radio Navigation stations like VOR and ADF stations although with Morse Code so you can identify that you are indeed tuned into the correct frequency.
The radio stations are still spooky though, because the Russian stations are still technically number stations. The information passed on through the verbal messages is still unknown as its code words and numbers.
Completely talented! Thank you!
dude your awsome keep u the good work👍
When start to read the comments to see if everyone else won't sleep to night.
i wanna find a numbers station so bad
Hey Top5 ! You should try a video on the Rothschild family....
Oy vey, shut it down!
I love the videos on this channel....and hell yes Numbers Stations are creepy.....The Swedish Rhapsody in particular....
“Saint Varmint! I’m gonna blow you to smitherings!” That is the most ridiculous yet funny transmission I’ve ever heard of.😆😂🤣😄
