The clock struck midnight, and the sounds of eerie, chilling music filled the airwaves. The intro to "Midnight Musings with Mike Barnstone" had begun. Mike Barnstone, a charismatic late night radio host, had been entertaining insomniacs and night owls with his show for years. Broadcasting from the old but atmospheric WKRP studio in a remote part of town, Mike's show was a mix of chilling stories, urban legends, and interviews with alleged paranormal witnesses. Tonight, however, was about to be a different kind of show.

As the music faded, Mike's deep, soothing voice came on air. "Good evening, dear listeners. Welcome to another night of terrifying tales and haunting encounters. I'm your host, Mike Barnstone, and tonight, we'll be taking your calls. Share your scariest experiences and spine-tingling stories with me."

The phone lines lit up like a Christmas tree, and Mike eagerly began taking calls. An hour into the show, he received a call that stood out from the rest.

"Hello, you're on the air with Mike Barnstone. What's your name, and what's your story?"

A woman's voice, barely a whisper, responded, "My name is Eleanor, and I am not of this world. I died not far from your radio station many years ago. I am coming to visit you, Mike."

Mike chuckled, assuming this was another prank call from a bored listener. "Well, Eleanor, we're always happy to have visitors here at WKRP. What brings you our way?"

Her voice took on a more sinister tone, "You will see, Mike. You will see."

Dismissing the call as a crank, Mike ended the conversation. "Alright, Eleanor, thanks for calling. Moving on to our next caller..."

Several minutes passed, and then the strangest things began to happen. The lights in the studio flickered, and the soundboard emitted an eerie hum. Static filled the airwaves, drowning out Mike's voice.

Concerned, Mike attempted to regain control of his equipment. "Folks, I apologize for the technical difficulties. Bear with us as we try to sort this out."

As he fumbled with the controls, he heard a distant but distinct wailing sound. The temperature in the room began to drop, and Mike could see his breath in the frigid air.

Feeling uneasy, he called out to his colleagues, "Hey, is anyone else experiencing weird stuff out there?"

No response.

Mike left the control room, only to find the entire building deserted. The other staff members were gone, their belongings scattered on the floor as if they'd vanished into thin air.

With fear creeping in, Mike decided to continue his search, hoping to find someone who could explain the bizarre occurrences. As he made his way down the dimly lit hallway, he felt a cold, clammy hand on his shoulder.
