Ghosts in their machines: Thai livestream spooks a new generation
- last year
It is almost midnight, and above a semi-abandoned Bangkok shopping centre, Ghost Radio is on air. Millions tune in to the call-in show to hear and share their tales of the supernatural. Thailand has a rich history of belief in spirits, which shows no sign of fading, with callers to show coming increasingly from the kingdom's younger age groups. "With the influence of Twitter and TikTok, more young people call" says Khemjira Jongkolsapapron, one of those selecting callers to go on air.
