GHOSTS

The broadcast supervisor of a radio station in the U.P. was told to go up to their tower and run some tests on the transmitter. During the tests, he leaned against a steel pole sticking out of the ground with cables coiled around and touching it. The moment he touched the pole, everything shut down at the tower and even the radio station turned off and caused a panic with the staff at the station because they did not want to deal with the FCC and have to reboot the entire station. A few minutes after the shutdown, the station rebooted and everything returned to normal, except that the Broadcast Supervisor was never heard from
again. An investigation was conducted and there were no traces of the broadcast supervisor anywhere. But, if you listen closely to the radio at the darkest time of the night, you can hear through the airwaves the lost soul of what is believed to be the missing broadcast supervisor.

Ricardo had an itch for tattoos and was also a member of a local gang that terrorized the community with drive-by shootings, drug dealing, and many other illegal activities. On one of the drive-by shootings, Ricardo lost his brother and that caused Ricardo to go on a gruesome killing rampage in the projects and managed to escape before the police arrived. Because Ricardo loves tattoos, he wanted to honor his lost brother with the teardrop tattoo. Little did Ricardo know that his tattoo artist is a member of his rival gang who lost most of his members when Ricardo went on the rampage in the projects and he was ready to give payback and trap Ricardo’s soul forever in the tattoo parlor and his cries of pain still remains.

Debbie, a young single mother, recently had two baby girls but they’re not just any ordinary girls: they’re Siamese twins. Debbie is obsessed with her image and what people think of her and ever since the birth of her daughters, she has not been content with how her kids looked and decided to see a doctor to “fix” the situation. The doctor suggests a new surgery where one of the twins will be placed on an artificial body and the other keeps the original and both will live normal lives. Debbie quickly sends in her Siamese twin girls for the surgery but while the doctor is performing surgery, a nurse tripped and knocked into the doctor and forced him to decapitate one of the girls and caused the other to die from blood loss. The mother was unaffected by the loss of her two girls but soon after began hearing the faded voices that once lingered in between the walls of her house.
