In 1969, a book by the Latvian émigré, psychologist Konstantin Raudiv, "The Transformation of an Inaudible Signal into an Audible Signal," was published in Germany. In it, the scientist described the method of communication with the other world that he discovered using electronic devices.
In his work, K. Raudive cited numerous facts of mysterious radio messages and substantiated the theory of how radio communications make it possible to receive messages “from the other world”, although before this was only possible with mediums.
However, the Latvian psychologist was not the first to discover the phenomenon of mysterious radio signals. A decade before the publication of K. Raudive's book, the Swedish film director Friedrich Jurgenson, while listening to the audio recordings of bird trills, heard from the tape a distinct male voice giving a lecture on ornithology. The film director's assumption that the tape recorder could catch the broadcast of one of the educational radio broadcasts was not confirmed - on that day, none of the radio stations broadcast messages on this topic.
This phenomenon amazed and carried away F. Jurgenson so much that he enthusiastically embarked on experiments with sound recording equipment, as a result of which, five years later, a lot of interesting records accumulated in the researcher's music library. F. Jurgenson's unusual experiments resulted in his book "Radio Communication with the Beyond World", which caused numerous controversies and critical remarks.
Despite the complete silence that representatives of official science awarded this publication, enthusiasts interested in mysterious radio messages, from the middle of the 50s of the XX century, with enviable regularity began to note such cases that occurred in different parts of the world.
Thus, in 1963, a group of American travelers recorded a speech by one of the Tibetan lamas in Lhasa. Then the pilgrims discovered that, along with the voice of a Tibetan priest, another voice was captured on the tape, chanting a text in an unfamiliar language. Upon returning to their homeland, the travelers showed the recording to linguists, and they made an amazing assumption that the language in which the mysterious voice was broadcast could well belong to an adverb that had long disappeared from use, which by phonemic features vaguely resembled Sanskrit.
Radio waves from nowhere

However, unexplained radio messages were recorded long before the widespread use of audio recording technology. For example, in 1942, Mark Ameson, a radio operator of an English submarine patrolling the waters of St. George's Strait, suddenly heard the voice of his late father Joseph on a secret frequency. A voice familiar to Mark from childhood several times clearly repeated the phrase: "Save yourself, little sparrow."
The radio operator was shocked not even by the striking similarity of the timbre of his voice with his father's, but by the fact that he called Mark exactly as his dad called him in childhood - a sparrow. The radio operator reported a strange message to the captain, and an hour later, during the ascent, their ship was attacked by a German submarine. In that sea battle, only three crew members of the English submarine managed to survive. Among them was Ameson, who was soon picked up by a British patrol ship.
A similar incident occurred in the spring of 1939 on the Norwegian merchant ship Emilia, in the North Sea. The ship's crew was contacted by radio communication by the former captain of the ship, who had died six months ago. A male voice with a characteristic hoarseness warned the crew of an impending storm, and then disappeared into strong radio interference.
In 1932, there were reports in the American press that a radio amateur from Chicago, John Reid, caught on a short wave the voice of President George Washington, who introduced himself to Reid and even reported that the stock price of one metallurgical company, of which Reid was a large shareholder, was imminent. The radio amateur initially treated this message as someone's cleverly orchestrated joke. However, just in case, he hastened to get rid of the shares. And soon he was unspeakably surprised to learn about the bankruptcy of that very company.
Modern mysticism
Many mysterious cases associated with mysterious voices on the air are still recorded today. In particular, in 1998 a group of climbers from Krasnodar climbed Mount Makapu in Nepal. During the installation of the assault tent at an altitude of 7900 meters, one of the climbers got a radio set. This fact caused considerable amazement among the members of the expedition, since at such an altitude the only means of communication was a satellite phone. Soon, through the wheezes coming from the radio, the harmonious singing of either male or female voices broke through, performing an amazing, unearthly beauty melody that bewitched everyone who heard it. The chanting continued for about half a minute, and then abruptly cut off, and the radio went silent again.
In 2000, during a training flight of a Russian strategic bomber near the city of Kimry, the crew suddenly heard a fast German speech on the air, interrupted by very emotional remarks in Russian. At that moment, the pilots had the feeling that they had become audio witnesses of a hot air battle. Through the squabble and strong Russian obscenity, even the noise of the engines of the winged machines was heard. Then there was a loud and short cry, and the broadcast fell silent.
Guesses, assumptions …
Back in the early 50s of the XX century, two Catholic priests, who were recording Gregorian chants on a tape recorder, when listening to it, caught the voices of acquaintances, but by that time already dead people. The priests informed Pope Pius XII of this fact, to which the head of the Catholics reasonably remarked: the existence of voices is a strictly scientific fact that has nothing to do with spiritualism. And since the tape recorder is absolutely objective, it records only sound waves, no matter where they come from …
In the next half century, repeated attempts were made to explain from a scientific point of view the phenomenon of electronic "Raudive voices", named in honor of a man who devoted a lot of effort to research in this area.
In the 70s of the last century, a number of German and French psychiatrists hypothesized that this phenomenon is one of the many forms of auditory hallucinations that occur in mental disorders. At the same time, physicist from Germany Peter Stein suggested the existence in near-earth space of a certain wave data bank, which envelops the planet in a dense blanket.
This bank stores for an indefinitely long time both sounds that have ever appeared in different parts of the earth, and images, for viewing which special equipment, not yet invented, is needed. Already at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries, a number of Western physicists have developed this assumption, arguing that the Universe itself is an inexhaustible repository of information about all the events that took place in its immeasurable expanses.
Proponents of the mystical hypothesis - occultists, mediums and psychics - are convinced that electronic voices are peculiar echoes of the other world, whose inhabitants in a similar way try to prove to people living on earth that there is no death, but there is endless evolution.
