Phantom Signals & the World’s Oldest Profession

Ghost Transmissions from the Vietnam War and The History of Prostitution Some say the dead don’t speak—but what if they broadcast? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, we tune in to the eerie world of ghostly transmissions from the Vietnam War. Could long-lost soldiers still be sending distress signals through the static through some glitch in the matrix? Are there more grounded theories? Or maybe a combination of all? Then, we take a deep dive into the complex, scandalous, and often surprising history of prostitution. From ancient sacred rituals to modern legal battles, the world’s oldest profession has a past that’s as shocking as it is fascinating. Strange radio signals, spectral voices, and a career choice with a history more tangled than your headphone wires—what more could you ask for? Tune in for a mix of the bizarre, the mysterious, and the hilarious, only on The Box of Oddities! #GhostSignals #ParanormalMysteries #HistoryOfProstitution #BoxOfOddities #StrangeButTrue If you would like to advertise on The Box of Oddities, contact advertising@airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
