I was playing an old CD-R compilation I'd made years ago through my DVD player, which is linked by scart to my Freeview box, and from there to the TV. It's also on line out to my mini hifi, because it sounds a hell of a lot better than the machine's integral CD player. Anyway ...
... I played a track which has a very quiet opening, and through the speakers I could hear voices which shouldn't have been there! Visions of 'White Noise' begin, along with panic! I stopped playback, and the voices stopped. So I thought to myself, 'When the CD that I took this track from was originally made, it must've picked up some weird background noise from the studio ... or voices of the dead!'
I immediately reached for the original disc, selected the same track ... and oh my God, there were the voices! I actually heard the words 'spirits talking' on the CD!! By this time I was getting quite spooked. I was all set to send the disc off for forensic examination, when I played the track again. This time, I heard something familiar. It was a line from a current TV ad ... hang on, the Freeview box is switched on ... I can't believe it! Some residual sound was passing back from the Freeview box and into the DVD player, before being output to the speakers!
I felt a right twerp! Oh, and the line about 'spirits talking' was perfectly understandable: it was a trailer for some scary show on FTN.
D'oh!!!
