Almost certainly speaker wire or something similar acting as an antenna. You can find videos of the phenomenon on YouTube. The creepy voice would just be down to distortion; it can sound a lot like someone is using a voice changer, as though they're a movie villain making a phone call.
I wouldn't put much stock into what the phrases sounded like. It's easy to misunderstand distorted speech, especially when you're primed to hear something weird or spooky. The repeated "duct tape, duct tape" seems like what one would expect from someone using a walkie-talkie, where repeating words for the sake of clarity is common. E.g., "all stations, all stations, blah blah blah...".
- ducttapethrow 5y agoThank you for your reply. This will help my partner and me rest a little easier!
- mod 5y agoWhen I was a kid, cordless phones (not cell phones, but landline phones) were all the rage, and one Christmas I got some nice walkie talkies from Radio Shack. We quickly discovered that we could hear phone conversations from at least one house, that we always assumed were from those cordless phones. Anyway, that's what this story reminded me of. I've had similar things happen a few times in my life.
