0048 weird creaking noises

0055. Low pitched voice saying it is too dark to go back

S8 and steady here. Not sure if the lighting crackles are part of the show or not.

Somebody getting ready for Halloween!

0113 gonging, morphing to continuous noise with gonging in background
0115 deep voice  - they are coming from underground, I need to tend to the transmitter first
- You are receiving the signal from the Black Mountain Transmitter
0117 like squids, crawling like spiders - I shall be back soon, and more weird sounds
0120 voice is back - they do not listen to me - so I ate them alive - I feel I could fly along with the radio waves to visit you, weird sounds continue
0125 voice is back - I am flying - may I descend down to your house - I hope there is something to eat - weird sounds continue
0132 voice is back - one with the transmitter - transmitter is working still - You are receiving a signal from the Black Mountain Transmitter - flies - weird sounds started up again
0136 just hooting sounds now, more added
0140 voice is back - why is everything shaking - are we still broadcasting - 300' in the air -
0143 weird sounds continue

I would appreciate an eQSL sent to [email protected]

0132  Roaring, scary sounds, bass voiced OM - telling a story or being threatening? (indistinct), SSTV - like noise (~4 beeps / second), shouts / screams, spooky noodling on an organ, 0136 almost music into roaring & a whistle, bit more creepy music, OM mentioning "Black Mountain Radio Transmitter" with rest mostly indistinct, minor scale almost music, roaring, creaking, etc. 0150 OM w/ more threatening sounding (indsitinct) talk, 0151 ~ 30 seconds of tone & off.

S5 - 6.  Signal only poor - fair despite reasonable strength.
