I heard something on the radio that I can’t forget

I was driving home late from work one night, listening to one of those fringe AM radio stations. It’s the type of place where you hear conspiracy, agrandement, and strange stories, and it keeps me entertained for the short 45 minute drive home. <br><br>This station is pretty normal for the most part, and the things they say are centered around not too weird things. Nothing that makes you question reality, just the normal stuff. <br><br>That night though, something was different. <br><br>I was about 15 minutes away from home when I heard something that gave me strange feelings. It was like a pre-recorded message that was played out loud. It went something like this: <br><br>(Strange static noises)<br><br>Woman’s voice: “Hello? Midnight? Do you hear me?”<br><br>Man’s voice: “You hear me? Yes”<br>Woman’s voice: “Midnight, can you hear me?” <br>Man’s voice: *Anger* “YOU HEAR ME?! YES! WHY DOES IT MATTER IF I HEAR YOU OR NOT! YOU HEAR ME! YES! STOP CALLING ME, STOP CALLING ME, I AM NOT HAPPY NOW! YOU SHOULD NOT CALL ME HERE! YOU HEAR ME! YOU HEAR ME! YOU HEAR ME! YOU- “<br>(Strange static noises)<br><br>I couldn’t help but pull over as I listened to the message. I was dumbfounded, and it really felt like I had just intruded on a very personal conversation. I mean, it was very clear that this man was angry and didn’t want to be talking to whoever this woman was. <br><br>I didn’t really know what to make of it at first. It was probably just some weird radio drama thing or something like that to keep listeners, but something told me that this just felt off. <br><br>I decided to look around online to see if anyone else has heard this, and to my surprise there were a bunch of people talking about this exact thing. <br><br>It seemed like this message had been played on many other stations, and it was clearly not just some normal radio drama. This was something else, and it seemed like it was something that the radio hosts didn’t even know about. <br><br>There was tons of speculation, but no one really knew what was going on. <br><br>I payed extra attention to the radio for the next few nights to see if I could hear anything else, but nothing. <br><br>I decided to give up until one night I heard another message. <br><br>(Same static noises as before)<br><br>Man’s voice: “You want to know what happened? Do you want to know why we can’t see each other? You want to know why I don’t answer when you call? You want to know why we can’t be together?” <br>Woman’s voice: “Yes…Yes I - “<br>Man’s voice: *Anger* “YOU WERE MURDERED! YOU WERE TAKEN FROM ME! YOU WERE FUCKING MURDERED! IF YOU CALL HERE AGAIN I WON’T ANSWER! YOU DECEASED! YOU WERE MURDERED! I WILL NOT TALK TO YOU AGAIN!” <br>(Static noises) <br><br>The message ended and that was it. <br><br>I pulled over again, and just sat in silence. <br><br>Something told me that these two people were not actors, but real people. <br><br>Something told me that these people were telling the truth. <br><br>I couldn’t really explain how, or why I thought this, but something told me that these calls were real. <br><br>The next few nights I listened, but nothing. <br><br>It was starting to get to me. I couldn’t focus on any other thing at work, and it was starting to interfere with my life. <br><br>I had to know more. <br><br>I decided to post on the same message board I went to when I first heard the message. <br><br>I explained my situation, and asked for any leads on where I could find out more. <br><br>I gave all the details, and then waited for a response. <br><br>After about an hour, someone responded with this message: <br><br>Meet me here at 10pm. Come alone. <br><br>I was spooked, and my first instinct was to not go. <br><br>But something in my head told me that I have to. <br><br>The address was in a very sketchy neighborhood, a place that you wouldn’t go to without a good reason. <br><br>I debated whether or not to go. <br><br>Something told me that this was my only hope at finding out more about this radio thing. <br><br>I decided to go. <br><br>I drove to the address, and was greeted by a man. <br><br>He didn’t say a word. <br><br>He just walked up to my car, and got in the back seat. <br><br>I didn’t say a word. <br><br>“I know you’ve been looking into something.” He said. <br><br>“Yes. I heard these messages on the radio, and -“<br>He interrupted me: “I know what you’re talking about. I can give you the answers you’re looking for, but it’s not going to make you happy, and you’re not going to like the truth.”<br><br>I didn’t respond. <br><br>He continued: “Midnight is not a person. Midnight is a realm. A dimension if you will. Midnight is the place where the souls linger after death, and this woman that Midnight is talking to, she was murdered. She is an example of a soul that gets stuck in this realm. A soul that doesn’t know that it’s deceased. <br><br>She started calling the radio station because she thought that she was getting through to someone. Someone that she loved, someone that she missed.” <br><br>He paused: “Midnight has been watching this woman, and she reminds him of his own deceased lover. Midnight is an old soul, and his lover died a long time ago. Midnight loved her so much that he has been alone ever since. The two of them remind Midnight of him and his lover. <br><br>Midnight knows that she won’t realize that she is deceased for a long time, and he wants to help her find out. He wants her to move on to the other side. Midnight has been alone for so long, and he knows how hard it is to be by yourself. He wants her to stop calling so he can stop thinking about his own lost love. <br><br>That is the truth. Midnight is a being that watches the souls of deceased people, and he is trying to help this woman move on. <br><br>Now, do you want to know how I know all of this?” <br>He paused. <br><br>“I am Midnight.” <br><br>That’s it. <br><br>That is the story. <br><br>As soon as he said that, the car went black and I passed out. <br><br>I don’t know what happened next, and I don’t know what happened to Midnight. <br><br>I know that I’m back in my house, sitting at my desk, writing this out right now. <br><br>I have chills, and I don’t really know what to think. <br><br>The last thing that I remember is him saying that he was Midnight. <br><br>I don’t know what Midnight did to me after that, and I don’t want to ever find out. <br><br>I hope I never hear those strange static noises again. <br><br>I don’t think I would be able to take it.
