The Radio Broadcast That Wasn't Fiction

from Almost True – Stories That Might Be Real

Episode 7 recounts the eerie disappearance of radio host "Mr. Byron" during a 1978 broadcast of his storytelling show Night Whispers. As he read a fictional tale about strange children knocking on doors, listeners across New Hampshire reported identical real-life sightings happening in real time. The broadcast broke down, the host vanished, and no record of the story was ever found. Whether mass hysteria, coincidence, or something supernatural, the event remains one of radio's most haunting unsolved mysteries.
