Talking Alarms?

Have any of you ever encountered an alarm that spoke to you?

I recently was exploring a firefighter training facility with a friend. While we were at the top of the 15 story concrete rappelling tower, I heard a undiscernable voice from behind me, which was masked by some howling wind. I thought it was my friend, so I turned to ask him what he said. He asked me the same question, and we proceeded to be very creeped out.

We decided to bail, and after we descended the tower, we heard it yet again, but we still couldn't make out what it said.

I'm just very curious if it was an alarm telling us to get the hell out, or simulated radio chatter that someone forgot to turn off after the last training session at the complex.

There's no such thing man. I've never heard of anything like that of the sort. I would just google it for a second opinion but as far as i know, they dont exist.

Could be the second idea you mention, could've been a squatting hobo, or it could be that they have two-directonal audio/video linkup and some firefighter security guard sitting at a desk 20 miles away wanted to fuck with your head for trespassing.

Or it could've been ghosts.

I've never run into one personally, but I've heard of such a thing. I'm pretty sure we used to have a site here in Cinci that would tell you that you were trespassing and that the police were being called.

Also pretty sure the Hollywood Sign security system talks.

Yeah we had one here as well at an old malt works, walked around one of the silos and all of a sudden a voice announced that you were trespassing and that you were on video and security had been despatched....it was pretty funny really...we hid and waited and no one turned up, pretty sure they are just a stand alone unit to 'deter' people from hanging around

There is a gas station near my apartment that has a motion detector outside of it. It's set up so that if you walk around the gas pumps during the hours when they're closed, a very loud outdoor speaker yells "WARNING! YOU ARE TRESPASSING! WARNING! YOU ARE TRESPASSING! WARNING! YOU ARE TRESPASSING!"

The problem with it is...it's too sensitive and it will go off even if you are just walking down the sidewalk, completely off their property!

I've seen some talking alarm panels that say when you are like 1 foot away from it the zone and action the trip is occurring in.

The system at the hollywood sign is actually a direct link to the nearest police station.


But yeah there are plenty of talking alarm systems out there. Some of them are even real people who are watching you on camera rather than a recorded message.

Are you sure it was an alarm? DJCraig, another explorer, and I spent 20 minutes hiding from a loudspeaker at a nearby garden center that sounded like a radio once upon a time.

And your description of undecipherable words sounds a lot like auditory hallucinations. When I was in boot camp, you would swear you heard a drill sergeant yelling at your squad out in the bay. Every time you used the bathroom after lights-out. You could even make out a few words here and there, but never sentences.

It couldn't have been hallucinations, as both my friend and I heard it at the exact same time. Aforementioned friend and I will head back sometime soon and check it out when the wind isn't blowing at 40 mph. I need to get some pictures of the place anyways!

ive only heard one once. Someone smashed out the window in a storefront and it went off for like 20 minutes and the cops still didnt show up. We were coming out of an AA meeting and thats all you could hear.

I don't recall a talking security system, but they do keep a close eye on things there.. I hiked up the hill about 4 years ago or so, made it up just below the sign a little ways, at which point a helicopter showed up and started flying around overhead. Snapped a quick shot and got out of there.

Meh, maybe not then... that's just what I heard, second hand. Was never in the mood for getting arrested when I was out there, so I took the long hike up the back side of the mountain and viewed the sign through the back fence.

btw this says it has a "bilingual audio warning system"...
