YSN "CREATURES FROM THE BEYOND!”
This report is brought to you by YSN, YourStory News.
MYSTERY SIGNAL HIJACK SHAKES LIVING ROOMS WORLDWIDE
Broadcasters and viewers worldwide are reporting the same disturbing pattern: an unauthorised broadcast intrusion of unknown origin. It strikes without warning, appears out of sequence, and arrives at seemingly any hour across the globe. In each case, television stations appear unable to prevent the incursion or override it once it begins. YSN has now experienced a similar incident while attempting to cover the mystery intrusions. What follows is an account of what viewers saw.
On YSN, a Quindie Television Limited channel, what began as a familiar programme opening took an unnerving turn. As the voice-over introduced the report and led into a live handover to the YSN news anchor in the studio, the segment fractured into interference. A headline appeared across the lower third: “BROADCASTING LIVE: CREATURES FROM THE BEYOND!”. The anchor remained on screen as the picture warped and the audio broke apart, while the voice-over artist continued the final lines of the introduction, seemingly unaware the transmission had been hijacked, later adding, “Please remain calm”.
Moments later, a stark instruction filled the screen: “DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET". The words trembled under distortion, splitting into colour, as if the message itself were forcing its way through the noise. The picture buckled, then collapsed into a test-pattern card surrounded by dense static. Red, green and blue edges drifted out of alignment like a signal coming apart at the seams. What followed no longer resembled routine technical failure.
A blinding flash morphed into a bright horizontal band. Within the grey “snow” of the static, blocky shapes pressed in from the edges like figures assembling themselves from the broadcast. Small, stylised creatures moved within the interference with a jittery, stop-start rhythm. Their outlines were unnaturally sharp against the hiss, as though the transmission could not decide whether they belonged inside the picture or outside it.
The warning returned: “DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET”. Now under heavier distortion, the letters vibrated and separated in colour, as if the television itself were straining to hold them in place. The YSN news anchor reappeared briefly, but the image no longer looked stable. It warped at the edges, crawled with noise, then retreated again into a test-pattern frame bearing the operator name along the sides.
No official explanation has been issued by local authorities. YSN has confirmed this was not a prank. The station states it intended to report on the interruptions experienced by other channels worldwide, and did not expect to be targeted. For those who saw it, whether on YSN or elsewhere, the impression was the same. Not simply that a programme was interrupted, but that something interrupted the programme, and seemed intent on holding your attention.
