It doesn't happen that often here in the States. Radio producers are very fickle, and dead air is bad for business. I think I've heard dead air three times in my life and only for a few seconds. That time, though, was just far too long with no acknowledgment of a problem. So, yeah, it was not regular dead air like you said.
MBJ, sorry to freak you out there. I always found it calming to think about. In fact, I've even jumped the fence to visit my friend in the cemetery at night and that never freaked me out either. My friend's spirit doesn't seem to allow it. Other cemeteries at night typically freak me out.
YIYF, I've done the whole Ouija Board thing too. Once. And only once. It worked. And I've tried long and hard to put the memories of it out of my head. Scared the living daylights out of me. Guess it didn't help that the movie Witchboard came out around the same time that I was playing with this thing.

Bossk, about the dead air thing, I've heard radios go out for minutes/hours/days without explanation from the radio stations (happened this week with my favorite radio station), but that was not the case with you.

The dead air I have described happens very often with this classic rock and prog rock station I listen to. They are a small radio station that can be hear only on 3 cities, and they usually mess up big time, leaving dead air for long periods of time, or having the DJs make stupid mistakes such as saying the name of the songs incorrectly. It's more unusual with other stations, but it does happen (I have seen it happen once, while on a radio station, seeing the presenter rush for the table after realizing he is playing the wrong song). So, it's not something unexplainable or anything like that, but still... I belive it was something else.
About the Ouija board, I will try it, even though you are all telling me not to. I wouldn't be really "scared", as I don't see how it could harm me, and it would give me some proof of an afterlife, which would be positive to me.
