Unpopular

 You've probably seen a movie with one of "those" characters who walks around predicting doom when they really should be taking a bath.  It's an end of the world or beginning of a new one kind of thing.

Depending on how much aluminum foil the character is wearing, their choice of words may be:

• "They" have been controlling people's thoughts".
• "They" have been beaming thoughts into people's heads."
• "They" have been controlling my mind.'
• '"They" have been beaming thought's into my head.'

You can probably see the direction this is going.

First of all, thoughts can't be beamed into someone's head and thoughts can't be directly controlled - not through suggestion and not even through "hypnosis".

But... it turns out our hearing isn't exactly as limited as every medical and biology book states.

The following statement may result in an individual being as unpopular as possible...

But there exists a very straightforward way - which I'd be happy to prove to anyone curious or to anyone at all - to generate a radio signal which allows a given modulation to be perceived as sound when it's absorbed by water or a conductive material.

What?  That wasn't the direction you believed we were going?

Something must be backwards.

And something is backwards... a potential patent application:

• Apparatus for performing small to medium scale surveillance in conjunction with oscillating current

Someone thought power lines could be used as antennas.  With electricity everywhere there'd be no signal out of reach.

It's hilariously paranoid - just like the aluminum foil in one of those movies.

The best part is they got it backwards (which isn't usually how the movie goes).

Don't just assume what I'm saying is true or "take my word" for it.  There's too many ways to independently prove or disprove the claims being made.

Here's 3 ways test your residence (having guests without warning them could be considered rude) with things you may already have.  2 more should be posted soon.  1 of those 2 more is a purely mechanical way of doing it - so eliminates any possibility of software or electronics being responsible:

1. 2 cell phones with service, 1 wire frame trash can, 1 dripping faucet
2. 2 cell phones with service, 1 wire frame trash can, 1 analog noise machine
3. 2 cell phones (no service needed) with a free app to generate white noise, pink noise, and brown noise, 1 metal bathtub drain, 1 adjacent sink drain

The best result you can hope for is to find nothing of interest.

Good luck with that - the last 3 apartments I've lived in haven't been boring.
