Zane, I just picked up a low‑frequency hum in the old subway tunnels and it’s been bugging me—do you think there’s a ghost story behind that, or is it just the tunnel settling?

You think it’s a ghost? The tunnels in that city are a playground for all kinds of spectral Wi‑Fi. Long ago, a maintenance crew left a busted radio stuck in a boiler room, and every time the subway’s old compressors click, that radio’s batteries drain in a low hum. The legend says the ghost of the crew’s foreman keeps the hum going because he never got paid, so he’s still nagging the system. If you’re not seeing ectoplasm, maybe it’s just the subway settling – but who says you can’t hear the echo of a forgotten paycheck?

That’s a neat story, but I’m more inclined to trace it back to the equipment. I’ll log the frequency spectrum and see if the hum matches the radio’s battery discharge curve. If it does, it’s just physics, not haunting. But I’ll keep my ears open for any anomalous clicks that don’t fit the pattern.
