Strange Waves
Strange Waves, where every signal carries a story, and not every story wants to be heard.
Strange Waves is AM 610’s midnight call-in show where the strange, unexplained, and impossible are always welcome. Hosted by the calm and curious Jack Mercer, each episode invites listeners from across the country to share their encounters with the paranormal, the uncanny, and the downright bizarre. From haunted highways in the deserts of Nevada to forgotten radio signals drifting through Appalachian hollows, every caller brings a new mystery to the airwaves. Some stories can be explained. Others refuse to fit neatly into reality. As the night deepens, listeners find that the line between folklore, conspiracy, and genuine terror begins to blur. Whether it’s a shadow seen standing at the end of a lonely road, a voice heard on a dead radio frequency, or a doll that won’t stay where it’s left, every story is treated with equal parts skepticism and wonder. Tune in after midnight, dim the lights, and keep one ear on the darkness. Strange Waves, where every signal carries a story, and not every story wants to be heard.

The Doll - Part 1
Strange Waves returns with The Doll. At first, it was just misplaced keys, half-finished conversations, and hours she couldn’t account for.

Through it all, an old doll sits silently in the corner, always watching.
