The Number Station of Names and Deaths

The Number Station That Predicted Deaths Cold War number stations are real anonymous shortwave

broadcasts used to send coded messages to spies. Most recited endless strings of numbers,

meaningless to anyone without the cipher. But in the 1970s, one station was different.

Instead of numbers, it calmly repeated names. Listeners across Europe and the Americas

reported hearing full names read aloud at scheduled intervals. In several chilling

cases, individuals with the same names died within days in accidents, illnesses,

or unexplained circumstances. No cause connected the deaths. The pattern alone was enough to unsettle

intelligence watchers and amateur radio operators alike. Governments denied any involvement.
