I do remember our family coming back from a market a very long time ago with an antique radio. My father had a bit of a tinker with it and set it up and at the grand ceremonial turning-on what came out was an episode of Dad and Dave, an ancient Oz radio programme, just as if it had been stuck in the valves for all those years.

Not spooky as such of course but until we have a thread actually devoted to amusing broadcasting coincidences...

I was in Waterstones today when another branch of Waterstones rang me to say "Mr Thompson1780.  We've found a copy of the book you wanted!.  It was in the Shakespeare section!".

I was confused, 'cos I hadn't asked about a book.  It turned out it was another Mr Thompson1780 they wanted to call.

And imagine that - I was nowhere near the Shakespeare section (unless he wrote philosophy books without me knowing).

Now that is spooky!

Mr Thompson1780

(PS, it is my real name  ).

That sure is spooooky, George!

And so is this. I'm well spooked, right now. A matter of minutes after posting about my dream last night, where I was about to perform Beethoven's 3rd piano concerto, I got in my car to do a couple or errands. Of course, having posted about Beet 3 it was going through my head. I'm coming up the short cadenza in the last movement (in my head). I turn on the ignition in the car and R3 kicks in on the radio. It is 2 seconds behind my brain's rendition of the piece!! I really, really kid you not. 

CRIPES, George and Martle! Those definitely qualify as tales of spookiness
And maybe just a little bit spookily, that came from a site called The Green Man. Gasp!

  Bob Newhart he reports :-
                   What's your name lad?... Bert?... Right Bert and how old are you?..  13? Right, you're 13....and what were you doing Bert? you were listening to the radio ....right, right and how do you spell that.... R.A.D.I.O, so you were listening to this RADIO Bert and what were you listening to?...... Opera..I see and what sort of opera was that Bert? ... French opera, I see and that would be in...?... French ..Ok Bert, and what was this French opera in French about Bert? Carmelites  and what are Carmelites Bert?.... Nuns?.... French nuns?.... Ok and what happens to these French Nuns Bert? ......They have their heads chopped off..... one at a time you say? Well it be difficult to to do them all together Bert. Who wrote this opera Bert?... Mr Poolank and he's..... French ......good. Right Bert, and what was  this Frenchman Mr Poolank like? ........ He use to like going out at night?  ....and meeting policemen in the park, why did he do that Bert?.......Oh!........He wasn't very happy you say Bert?... Well I can't say that that comes as much of a surprise. And tell me Bert are you happy living here in Alaska?   Good ..thank you very much Bert

Mr Sudden, sir, both renditions were at, I take it, 440! And yes, it was the same cadenza (Beethoven's), since that was the one I was forced to learn by my teacher despite wanting to substitute my own. 
The broadcast was part of BaL, of which this concerto was on this occasion the subject.

Ah, thanks Ron. I din't listen too far into the programme. Too spooked. 

Not exactly spooky, but a bizarre coincidence....

... I was fixing-up some props yesterday in the evening...  we have a little tour of Menotti's TELEPHONE/MEDIUM coming up, with a showing "at base" (for the blue rinse brigade) this afternoon before we leave.   Anyhow, by way of explanation...  in the plot of TELEPHONE, "Ben" takes the opportunity, when left alone, to attack the telephone with a knife,  to prevent it interrupting his attempts to seduce Lucy (as it has already done five times).  Lucy catches him in the act.

So anyhow, I am sitting on the floor at home fixing this bloody (prop) telephone (needed the dippers reset, it works off a radio-remote on a signal frequency that no-one, ehem, made a note of last time).  Trying to make it ring "to order" from the buzzer,  it developed a mind of its own...  the buzzer worked,  but it also rang independently?   By 4am,  I couldn't sleep because the telephone was going-off every 30 mins - it was responding to the burglar alarm wavelength in next-door's aparment.   There's no "off" button, it can only be deactivated by taking the batteries out - and of course,  I'd duct-taped the whole thing safely shut so the guts of it wouldn't fall out during the show (it gets chucked about quite a bit). 

So I found myself at 04:30 attacking the telephone with a Stanley knife,  to make it stop ringing,  and get the batteries out of it...

(Before anyone suggests it - the dippers are in the buzzer, not the phone,  so you can't alter the frequency that sets it off!)
