Things That Float on the Sea

This happened quite a while ago.
I’d just finished listening to a radio show I’d taped from a friend’s cassette. Hitting stop every time was a pain, so I decided to let the deck run until the tape reached the end and auto-stopped.
For a while there was only silence.
Suddenly I heard waves breaking, and a flat male voice said, “Let’s play shiritori*1 with things that float on the sea.”
Huh? I thought—then a little girl whispered,
“A person.”
The instant she spoke, the cassette deck SNAP—kicked the stop button up hard.
I have never been so freaked out.
Supposed to be a mystery story, and here I am telling a straight-up horror tale, haha. But this is the weirdest, scariest thing I’ve ever experienced.
By the way, the tape stretched at that moment and never played again.
When I told my friend, he said, “Yeah, right—that’s just an excuse for wrecking my cassette,” but it really did happen…
*1 Shiritori — a Japanese word-chain game where each player must say a word beginning with the last kana of the word before.
