    Strange happenings at WLIM in Medford

    So, WLIM - 1580AM was for the longest time a big band radio station. In the last year or so it has become a Spanish broadcast station. Today, I was walking the Ridgebacks by the station and I noticed four people walking around the perimeter of the station grounds. (Got to be at least 4 - 5 acres) I didn’t think anything of it until I got closer. Even the dogs were looking at them strangely. They all seemed to be chanting something in Spanish; the one woman of the group seemed to be flapping her arms like she wanted to fly and the man in front had what looked like a bottle of tequila. He was pouring it on his hands, would chant something very loud and sprinkle it on the ground. It seemed like some sort of strange blessing. But with tequila? (If it wasn’t tequila it was most definatly some sort of liquor.) I swear that woman was trying to take off, that’s how hard she was flapping her arms. Now, I’m not making fun of what I think was some sort of religious ceremony but I honestly have never seen anything quite like it. It was almost comical! Anyone have any idea what I witnessed?

    I don't know Rob, very strange. I would have waited till they were done and asked what the hell they were doing? Call the radio station and ask if they were having a contest or something.
    Call me a liar, you knew.
    You were a fool, but that's cool, it's all right.

    I was told on another site that it was a Santeria blessing. Sending positive energy to the business. I guess......

    With all the illegals losing their construction jobs I guess they can't afford to buy radios.
