We lived near a huge sports stadium in Melbourne (the M.C.G) and back in the day giant plastic trumpet-type horns were popular in the crowd. When the footy was on and the wind was travelling in the right direction we could hear the crowd going mental and blowing these horns each time someone kicked a goal. My sister and I firmly believed they were trying to contact us, we would spend hours on the porch yelling at them full volume until we heard the horns sound, then we'd get scared and run inside. About a minute later we'd overcome our fear and resume yelling. This occurred every Friday night for six months of the year, much to our parents dismay.
