Mira Oxton built a podcast empire interviewing people about their supernatural experiences. She doesn't believe any of it—the empathy she performs is just that, a performance. Then an anonymous audio file arrives: a man's voice from 1987, saying her name, describing a week-long time loop he's lived for thirty-seven years. He claims she's the reason he's trapped. As Mira digs into the mystery, she uncovers a missing persons case, a grieving brother, and a dream she's been having since she was seventeen—a dream about an abandoned radio station and a voice she chose not to hear. She doesn't believe in the supernatural. But she's starting to believe in him.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hi, and welcome to Romance Weekly. This

2
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:37.200
is the Echo Chamber, Episode one Signal. Here's the secret

3
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.000
about my job. I don't believe a word of it.

4
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:46.240
Eighteen years of interviewing people about their supernatural experiences, ghosts,

5
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:51.079
time slips, possessions, premonitions, things that go bump in the

6
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.759
night and leave marks that can't be explained. I've heard

7
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.479
it all. I've nodded along to all of it. I've

8
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.200
built a career, a small empire, really on taking these

9
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.280
stories seriously. I don't believe any of them. That's not

10
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:11.079
something I can say out loud. Obviously. The podcast depends

11
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.079
on the audience trusting that I'm a believer, that I'm

12
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.680
one of them. That when someone tells me they saw

13
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.159
their dead grandmother standing at the foot of their bed,

14
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.879
I feel the same shiver they do. I feel nothing.

15
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.959
I haven't felt a genuine shiver in years. And that's

16
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.079
when I realized. My guest is saying that the three

17
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:35.079
hours I'd lost weren't lost at all. I'd been somewhere else,

18
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:40.519
somewhere else I just couldn't remember where. His name is

19
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:46.239
David Accountant from Columbus perfectly ordinary man with a perfectly

20
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.239
ordinary life who claims he drove into a patch of

21
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.719
fog on Route thirty three and emerged three hours later

22
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.599
with no memory of the gap. Classic time slip story.

23
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.719
I've heard dozens of variations that must have been terrifying,

24
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.519
I say, and my voice is warm, empathetic, exactly right.

25
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:13.759
The not knowing it was it still is, Honestly, I

26
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.080
keep waiting for the memories to come back, for something

27
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.840
to explain what happened. Maybe that's why you're here. Maybe

28
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.479
telling the story is part of finding those answers. He

29
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.840
nods grateful. They're always grateful. I give them space to

30
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.319
be believed, and that's so rare in their lives that

31
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.080
it feels like a gift. It's not a gift, it's

32
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.439
a transaction. He gives me content. I give him validation.

33
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:48.840
Everyone leaves satisfied. The interview raps. I do my outro,

34
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.159
thank you for sharing your story with the Liminal Space,

35
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.319
and thank you listeners for walking this strange road with us,

36
00:02:56.199 --> 00:03:00.960
and cut the recording. David shakes my hand, tells me

37
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.199
this meant so much, promises to share the episode with

38
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:09.360
everyone he knows. I'm glad it helped. I say. The

39
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.800
moment the door closes behind him, I exhale, roll my neck,

40
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.639
check my email. The performance is exhausting, sometimes not the

41
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:24.360
interviews themselves. Those are easy, mechanical, a script I've refined

42
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.319
over years. It's the pretending to care afterward, the small talk,

43
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.240
the human connection I'm supposed to feel and don't. I

44
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:39.240
scroll through my inbox, sponsorship inquiry, fan mail, interview, request,

45
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.240
more fan mail, a message from my producer about next

46
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.240
week's schedule. And one email with no sender name, no

47
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.599
subject line, just an attachment nineteen eighty seven Underscore week

48
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:57.520
Underscore one eight nine two dot wa V. I should

49
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.159
delete it. Anonymous attachments are a secureity risk, and I

50
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.759
get enough weird messages from listeners who think I'm their

51
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.120
personal paranormal investigator. But something about the file name catches me.

52
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:14.879
Nineteen eighty seven a year week eighteen ninety two. That's

53
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.480
thirty six years of weeks, give or take. I run

54
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.279
my antivirus on the file clean against my better judgment,

55
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.079
I plug in my headphones and press play static first,

56
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.879
the warm, crackling hiss of analog tape, the kind of

57
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.519
sound that doesn't exist anymore in our digital world. Then

58
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.240
a voice, male, young, tired in a way that has

59
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.399
nothing to do with sleep. This is Week one thousand,

60
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:49.959
eight hundred ninety two, September fourteenth through twentieth, nineteen eighty seven. Again,

61
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.839
for the one thousand, eight hundred and ninety second time.

62
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.600
A pause. The static breathes. I don't know if anyone

63
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:04.160
can hear. I've been broadcasting for I don't know how long,

64
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.240
anymore years, decades. Time doesn't work right in here, but

65
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:13.240
I've learned to push signals out, sometimes fragments that might

66
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:18.399
reach someone on the outside. Another pause. When he speaks again,

67
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:25.639
his voice is different, more direct, more personal, mirror. If

68
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.920
you're finally listening, and I have to believe you're listening,

69
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:33.800
I need you to understand something. My blood goes cold.

70
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.399
I know what you are, I know what you did,

71
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.759
and I know you don't remember. The static rises, swallows

72
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.600
his voice, and the recording ends. I sit in my studio,

73
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.160
headphones still on, staring at the waveform on my screen.

74
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.560
He said my name. He said my name. I play

75
00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:00.120
it again and again, each time, the same voice, Yes,

76
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.160
the same impossible claim. Week one, eight hundred and ninety two,

77
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.560
thirty six years of the same seven days, and my

78
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.199
name spoken like he knows me, like he's been waiting

79
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.399
for me. It's a hoax. It has to be someone

80
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.600
who knows my work, who's crafted an elaborate bit to

81
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.279
get my attention, who's probably watching my download stats right

82
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:26.720
now and laughing. But the audio quality, the tape hiss,

83
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:31.079
the degradation patterns. I've edited enough recordings to know what

84
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.519
authentic analog sounds like. And this isn't someone running a

85
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.199
file through a vintage filter. This is real tape, old tape,

86
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.639
tape that's been sitting in a drawer since Reagan was president.

87
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.480
I run the file through analysis software. The results come

88
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:53.079
back consistent with mid nineteen eighties recording equipment, no digital artifacts,

89
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.439
no splices. If it's fake, it's the most technically sophisticated

90
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:04.759
fake I've ever encountered. And he knew my name. I

91
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.439
don't sleep well that night. I keep thinking about the voice,

92
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.279
the exhaustion in it, the weight, thirty six years of

93
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.199
the same week. I try to imagine what that would

94
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.680
do to a person living the same seven days over

95
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.199
and over, knowing that outside your bubble the world is

96
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.199
moving on without you. I can't imagine it not really,

97
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:32.480
but I can't stop trying. At three AM, I give

98
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.079
up on sleep and open my laptop. I search for

99
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:40.240
combinations of the details from the recording nineteen eighty seven

100
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:46.839
radio station, Ohio disappearance loop. Most of the results are garbage,

101
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:52.600
conspiracy forums, creepy pasta, the usual Internet detritus. But one

102
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:56.879
result catches my attention. A digitized newspaper clipping from the

103
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:02.279
Delaware Gazette dated October nineteen eighty seven. Local man missing

104
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:07.319
after strange broadcast. The article is short, the kind of

105
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.000
filler that small town papers used to run when nothing

106
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.000
else was happening. A twenty five year old audio engineer

107
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.279
named Ethan Hale vanished from his overnight shift at a

108
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:23.040
rural radio station. No signs of foul play, no note.

109
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.600
He simply wasn't there when the morning crew arrived. The

110
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:32.200
station WKDL had been experiencing technical anomalies for weeks before

111
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:37.720
his disappearance. Equipment turning on by itself broadcasts that no

112
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:42.480
one had recorded interference on frequencies that shouldn't have been accessible.

113
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:47.240
A follow up article from December says the case went cold,

114
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.679
no body no leads, The station was sold changed hands

115
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:57.559
several times and eventually closed in nineteen ninety four. The

116
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:02.399
building still stands abandoned in rural Delaware County. I look

117
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.759
at the photo accompanying the first article. It's grainy, black

118
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.919
and white, clearly scanned from microfilm. But I can make

119
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:15.519
out his face, young, twenty five years old, dark hair,

120
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.159
serious eyes, the look of someone who's carrying more than

121
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:23.320
he's showing. Ethan Hale is that the voice on the

122
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.039
recording is that who's been living the same week for

123
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.679
thirty seven years. I close the laptop. This is insane.

124
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:36.360
I'm treating an anonymous audiophile like evidence, constructing a narrative

125
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.759
out of coincidence and confirmation bias. This is exactly the

126
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.559
kind of thinking. I've spent my career gently encouraging in

127
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:47.519
other people while privately dismissing. But he knew my name,

128
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:58.240
and now I know his. The next morning, I try

129
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.600
to record a new episode, a woman from Portland who

130
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.720
believes she's being visited by the ghost of her childhood dog.

131
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.480
It's sweet, harmless, the kind of story that plays well

132
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:14.039
with the audience. I can't focus. I keep hearing his

133
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:18.759
voice underneath hers. I know what you are. I know

134
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:23.279
what you did? What did I do? What does he

135
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:28.120
think I did? I stumble through the interview, salvage enough

136
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.639
usable material to piece together an episode, and send my

137
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.559
guest home with the usual assurances. The moment she's gone,

138
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.120
I pull up the recording again. Week one thousand, eight

139
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:45.080
hundred ninety two September fourteenth through twentieth, nineteen eighty seven.

140
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.960
I do the math. If he started looping in September

141
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.080
nineteen eighty seven, and each loop is exactly one week,

142
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.440
then week one thousand, eight hundred ninety two would have begun.

143
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.440
I pull out my phone, calculate just a few days

144
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:03.240
ago if his timeline and hours are still somehow connected,

145
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:08.039
which is insane, Which can't be true, which I'm thinking

146
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:11.320
about anyway, because the alternative is that someone went to

147
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.240
extraordinary lengths to hoax me specifically, and that doesn't make

148
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:19.440
any more sense. I draft a dozen responses to the

149
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:23.600
anonymous email, delete all of them. What am I supposed

150
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.799
to say? Hi, I got your message from nineteen eighty seven.

151
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:32.240
Please explain what you mean about knowing what I did. Finally,

152
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.840
I just type who are you? How do you know

153
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:40.279
my name? I send it. I don't expect a response.

154
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.960
I spend the rest of the day researching. Ethan Hale

155
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:49.639
was born in nineteen sixty two in Columbus, Ohio, only child,

156
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.879
parents both teachers. He studied audio engineering at Ohio State,

157
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.639
graduated in nineteen eighty four, and went to work for

158
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.840
a series of small radios stations around central Ohio. By

159
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:07.399
nineteen eighty seven, he was working the overnight shift at WKDL,

160
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:12.159
a tiny AM station that mostly played classic country and

161
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:16.600
local news. His younger sister, Cassidy, died in a car

162
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.879
accident in March of nineteen eighty seven. She was nineteen.

163
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.720
I find an obituary, a photo, a smiling girl with

164
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:30.720
dark hair, Ethan's eyes. Beloved daughter and sister, gone too soon.

165
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.480
Something shifts in my chest. I don't know why. I've

166
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.279
heard hundreds of stories about loss, about grief, about people

167
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.799
reaching for the dead. I've never felt anything but this,

168
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.600
this kid's sister, this car accident, this man who went

169
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:52.080
to work at a radio station six months later and

170
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:58.279
never came home. I feel something. That night, I dream

171
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:02.159
about a radio station. It's not a station I've ever seen,

172
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.879
low building, crumbling brick, a transmission tower rising into a

173
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:12.279
gray sky. But I know it, somehow, know the creak

174
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.600
of the door, the hum of equipment, the way the

175
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.519
light falls through dusty windows. I'm seventeen in the dream.

176
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:25.000
I'm with friends, faces I can't quite see, voices, I

177
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:30.000
can't quite hear. We're laughing, daring each other, pushing through

178
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.639
the unlocked door, like we own the place. The equipment

179
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.679
is still running. It shouldn't be, the station's been closed

180
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.480
for years. But the lights blink green and red. And

181
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.759
there's a sound underneath the silence, a low drone almost

182
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:50.440
below hearing, like the building itself is breathing. I sit

183
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.080
down at the main console, put on the headphones. There's

184
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:57.320
a microphone in front of me, old and silver, the

185
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:01.679
kind they don't make anymore. Is anyone listening? I say

186
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:06.200
into it? My voice comes out strange, theatrical. I'm performing

187
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.919
spirits of the airwaves. I call upon you, Is anyone

188
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:22.240
out there? Static? And then a voice, distant, desperate, real, hello, Hello,

189
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.840
can you hear me? Please? I've been trying to reach

190
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:30.279
someone for I rip off the headphones. My friends are laughing,

191
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.799
thinking I'm joking. Thinking the fear on my face is

192
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.480
part of the bit. I laugh too, Shake it off,

193
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:42.679
Tell them. It's nothing. We leave, we forget, I forget.

194
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:59.960
I wake up at four am, gasping. The dream already faded,

195
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.120
but I remember enough. I remember the station, I remember

196
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.200
the voice, and I remember walking away. There's a new

197
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.000
email waiting when I check my phone, same anonymous sender.

198
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:21.080
Another audio file response underscore zero zero one dot wa V.

199
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.480
I play it in bed in the dark, heart pounding,

200
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.399
You asked how I know your name? His voice, Ethan's voice,

201
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.840
I'm almost certain now is clearer this time, like he's

202
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.600
figured out how to push through the static more effectively.

203
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.279
I've been listening to you for eighteen years, Mira, every

204
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:48.159
episode of your podcast, every interview, every performed emotion, a pause.

205
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:53.320
I can hear him breathing, analog tape hiss, the hum

206
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.759
of equipment from another era. You came to the station

207
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.480
when you were seventeen. I was already trapped by then,

208
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.320
seven ten years into the loop. I heard you. I

209
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.840
tried to answer, and then you left. You walked away

210
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:11.279
without listening my dream, the station, the voice I dismissed

211
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.480
as nothing. I don't blame you, he continues. You were

212
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.399
a kid, you didn't know what you were doing. But

213
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.759
when you spoke into that microphone. Something happened. You became

214
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.320
connected to the loop, anchored to it. And as long

215
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.000
as you stay disconnected, as long as you refuse to

216
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:33.720
really hear me, the loop stays closed. The static rises,

217
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.919
threatening to swallow him. You asked for proof. Here it is.

218
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.039
I know you didn't sleep well last night. I know

219
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:45.120
you had the dream again, the one about the radio station,

220
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.000
the one you've been having since you were seventeen. His

221
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.759
voice drops. You can hear me, Mirah. The question is

222
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.519
whether you're willing to listen. The recording ends. I sit

223
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:01.679
in the dark for a long time, dream the station.

224
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.880
I've had that dream before, not often, once a year,

225
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.119
maybe always around this time. I've never told anyone about it,

226
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:16.359
never thought it meant anything. He knew he knew about

227
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:20.319
the dream, about the station, about the voice I heard,

228
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:24.400
and dismissed as nothing. He's been trapped in nineteen eighty

229
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:29.279
seven for thirty seven years, and somehow, impossibly, I'm the

230
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:34.240
reason I don't believe in the supernatural. I've spent eighteen

231
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:38.559
years pretending to believe, while privately dismissing every story I've

232
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.839
ever heard. But this isn't a story. This is a man,

233
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.039
a real man, with a dead sister and a missing

234
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:50.160
person's report and a voice that's been calling out for

235
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:54.720
help since I was a teenager, and I walked away.

236
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:59.680
I open my email, start typing. I believe you, or

237
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.720
I'm starting to. I don't understand how any of this

238
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:08.200
is possible, but I believe something is happening. I pause,

239
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:13.480
delete it, start again the dream. I've had it before.

240
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.759
I never told anyone. I don't know how you could

241
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:23.200
know about it unless delete again. I'm listening. I don't

242
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.880
know what that means yet, but I'm listening. Tell me

243
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.599
what I need to do. I send it before I

244
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.720
can delete it again. Then I sit in the dark,

245
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:36.079
waiting for a response from a man who's been waiting

246
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.039
for thirty seven years, and I try to figure out

247
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.119
how to undo something I don't remember doing.
