This New Brunswick town was literally haunted by the radio

New documentary chronicles the bizarre effects of Sackville's radio towers

"I've got stories about the broadcasts, people hearing radio coming out of their fridge, kids coming home from school and being alone and being afraid that there was someone in the house because it sounded like someone was talking in the basement."

Then there was the guy who strung a wire over the graveyard, with a neon bulb in the middle to help him tune up. Even had the cops in the crowd of people watching the glowing thing hovering in the graveyard one night.
