Case 1 - Woman Shares Audio of Ghostly Phone Message Left by Her Recently Deceased Father
here’s been a rash of strange audio messages that have been floating around the internet recently, and shockingly many of them are actually quite compelling. The most recent bizarre recording however, has been chilling the spines of anyone who hears it, myself included. After receiving a message from the phone number (000)000-0000, a woman was shocked to realize that the voice on the other line belonged to none other than her recently deceased father.
In a thread posted to Reddit, the user heaveninherarms asked paranormal fans what they thought of a very strange ten-second clip her mother had received earlier that day. The number, which appeared as a series of zeros, went straight to voice mail, leaving behind a message that both heaveninherarms and her mother are positive belonged to their late family member.
“Uhh… This is dad, I was trying to contact you. Uh, this is dad.”
According to heaveninherarms, not only would this have not been a typical message that her Grandfather would have left, but there were other strange details that convinced her it was him calling from the other side. The man had died this March from mesothelioma, and the poster swears that her grandfather spoke with quite a bit of fluid in his lungs, just like the voice in the message.
Obviously the first thing heaveninherarms did was begin to contact her family members asking if someone had forwarded an old message to her mother’s phone. No on in her family had any recollection of the recording, in fact, none of them had ever even heard it before.
Most people seem to agree that there was absolutely something strange about the audio clip. Quite a few people had even experienced the 000-0000 phone number in regards to their own strange phone messages.
With ghostly phone messages there’s usually no intelligent verbal communication attempted, in fact, most times they sound like recordings rather than attempts at reaching out. That’s what makes this recording so interesting. Even though the man isn’t speaking to his family the way he would have in life, it would appear that he’s trying to make contact with those he loved in life.

Case 2 - Phone call from my deceased father
Four years after my dad died, I was going through an amicable divorce (or so it seemed at the time).
I was actually happier than I had been in a decade, and was looking forward to the future.
One morning I woke up, grabbed my cell phone off the charger, and walked toward the kitchen.
Just as I was going to swipe my phone to open it -- a phone call was coming through, but all it said was incoming call and didn't show a name or number.
I was already mid-swipe so the call was answered. I put it to my ear, and said "Hello?" The reply, "Hey, girl" was my Dad's voice. It sounded like my dad was far away...
I was completely off guard, but at the same time I was cool and calm. I said, Daddy? He said, Yes. I dont have a lot of time, but I wanted to make sure you're OK.
I said, I'm fine. Are you Ok? He said he was fine.
Then he said, I have to go now. I will call again. I love you. I said, Ok, Daddy. I love you and I'll talk to you later. He said, bye.
And then silence.
I took the phone away from my ear and it had gone back to the home screen, and when I looked in the call log - the call did not appear.
I couldn't figure it out, and I thought about it constantly.
A week later, my soon to be ex came into my house and started kicking things and ranting. I tried to close my bedroom door to shut him off from us, but he shoved it open and hurt my hand. I then grabbed my phone and called 911 so he quickly left.
He never came back after that night, but I stayed on high alert after that and finally installed an alarm just in case he ever decided to break in.
The day after my ex did that, I told my mom about the call from Dad the week before, and about my ex coming into my house that past night.
She said that my Dad had never trusted my ex and always thought that he had done something on purpose years before that hurt me (even though at the time I thought it had been an accident).
My dad never said a word to me about his feelings toward my husband so this was news to me.
The best we could speculate was that my Dad was worried that my ex was going to hurt me so he called to check on me.
It was just weird that we never acknowledged the elephant in the room (Hey, you're dead) or (Hey, I think your ex is a sneaky, dangerous person who wishes to harm you).
I guess if my Dad ever calls again, I'll know there may be something he wants me to know so I plan on asking more questions instead of being so dumbfounded by a phone call from a dead person.
Case 3
I was putting laundry away one day and had left my phone in the other room. When I returned, I noticed I had missed a call. When I looked at the caller id, my grandfather's full name was on it. Weird thing is he had never had a phone in his name his entire life.
I kick myself for not having the phone in my pocket like I usually do. I wanted to ask him where he was and what it was like. My only guess is he was trying to contact me because a day later we had a major leak in the wall of our washroom.
I wish he would call back.. I miss him.
Oh wow, I have a similar experience but it was a landline phone that wasn’t even connected to the wall and it started ringing and just as I was about to answer it stopped and didn’t even work obviously, but that’s a cool story you got, he’s watching over you
Case 4 - Phone call from the grave
So about a week after my great grandmother passed away I was over visiting with my grandparents and we were all sitting around talking as usual with nothing out of the ordinary. Well suddenly their landline phone rings and the number on the caller ID shows no name and only the numbers 000-000-000. My grandad does this joke he does when he gets a weird call from someone he doesn’t recognize and says “I don’t know anyone named 000-000-000” and let the answering machine get it. So a minute later it shows that the ominous number left a message on the answering machine and we play it.
As the message plays there is about 10 seconds of static noise, like someone has a bad connection, and then it stops and we hear a woman’s voice say “I love you” and we all immediately turned and looked at each other and didn’t say a word. A few more seconds of static followed those words and the message ends. We all recognized the voice as belonging to my great grandmother. What adds to my belief that it was her is that she had this weird thing where she would never say the words I love you to anyone.
She was a sweet lady but something about those words she would just never say even if you said them to her. So I believe she regretted that and needed to pass that message along to my grandad. Nothing else happened since but I will always remember that experience.
Case 5 - Telephone call from deceased loved one?
I would like to know if anyone has experienced this.
My mom passed away on a Tuesday. On Wednesday, I was home alone when phone rang. When I picked up phone, I distinctly heard my mom's voice saying, "Lo?Lo?" I said "mom?" Then, they disconnected.
Lo is a nickname that my mom used for me. She was the only person who called me that. And it was very definitely her NY accent, her timbre...her voice.
(There were other phenomena in the 2 wks following. Items related to my mom, flew across the room twice. One of those, a bracelet, happened in front of two people.)
Has anyone else experienced a phone call that seems to come from someone in the next dimension?
Case 6 - My grandad called my toy phone when he died
When I was 3 or so, my paternal grandad passed away. At the time my parents had separated and I was living with my mum.
One morning, as any 3yo does, I was playing with my toys on my bed and my toy phone began to ring, so I answered it and began talking down the phone. I remember my grandad being on the other end and he said to me ‘I’m just calling to say that I have died and wanted to say goodbye’ Shortly after, my mum came into my bedroom and asked who I was talking to. I told her my grandad had died and that he said goodbye to which she replied ‘don’t be daft’
Sure enough about an hour or so later, my dad called my mum to tell her that my grandad had died.
The odd thing about this encounter is that my mum had taken the batteries out of this toy phone just days before because she complained that it was too loud.
Case 7
My family has always been somewhat sensitive to the paranormal. More than a few of us have had unexplained instances but nothing like what kept happening a few years back. The year was 2000 and while the world survived Y2K unfortunately my great grandmother did not. A few months after her death every few days we would receive phone calls from a number caller ID said was 000-000-0000. Every time we picked up it was constant white noise like a TV channel that didn’t come in right. The first few times we simply assume something was going on with phone lines and disregarded it. However for whatever reason we always picked it up.
Now for those of you young ones on reddit the year 2000 was a different time. Cell phones were new and most people had land lines still. The worst part was the fact that almost all of the internet was dial up meaning a simple phone call could interrupt the song you’ve spent the past five hours downloading on LimeWire. So obviously these white noise calls became a annoyance very quickly. Finally my mother called the phone company to see if they could see where it was coming from. Well once the phone company investigated the number they discovered the calls were coming from a pay phone. But not just any pay phone this pay phone happened to be located right outside the cemetery where we had a few short months ago laid my Granny to rest. Not only that but the pay phone was disconnected from use a couple of years before and wasn’t even capable of making calls.
This settles it for my family. We decided it was my Granny so every time the calls came we simply spoke to her the same way we always had and all was good. The calls continue for around 2 years at this point.
I lived at the time in a area where tornadoes were rare but when we had one it tended to be incredibly damaging. One night one came thru the neighborhood causing a lot of damage. However my home was thankfully spared. Not long after it passed the phone rang. This time however instead of white noise my mother swears she hears her ask if everyone is ok. Mom reassures her we are all fine and everything is ok. After that the calls stop and we hope she’s moved on to find her peace knowing we are ok.
10 years later both my grandmother and grandfather have passed and been buried alongside the rest of our family. My mom decided to move into her parents home. At the time I’m living with a boyfriend and we decide to stop by the cemetery so I can introduce him to my beloved grandparents. Once I get back in the car I check Facebook and my mother had only two minutes before posted a photo of a phone showing the same 000 number and saying how after so many years she’s finally hearing from Heaven again. I call her frantic because I’m literally staring at their graves at that very moment. She received the call while my ex and I were standing there. My only assumption to this day was my family really didn’t like my BF then and was willing to call beyond the grave to make that fact known.
That was the last call we ever received but not our last experience. To this day however we still have the same landline number just in case they ever need to talk to us again
Case 8
I had one phone call during the week after my Dad passed in 2006. Mine came up on the caller ID as "unknown". I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone and let the answering machine take the call. I listened as the message was being recorded. It was clear, as in, no static at all. What I heard gave me chills and still does to this day when I think of the event.
What I heard was nothing of this earth and words do not exist to descibe the sounds. It was music and voices singing without words. Whatever the instruments were, aren't any that exist in our world. As soon as I heard the music, a picture popped into my mind. The most gourgeous outdoor scene. Thick, lush green grass, trees, and the most beautiful flowers you could ever imagine. Animals everywhere. The music seemed to be imminating from everything I could "see". The trees, flowers, grass, sky, and even the breeze.
As soon as the call ended, I quickly picked up the phone to listen to it again. But...it didn't record and the unknown number wasn't on the caller ID. The was plenty of room for it to record, it just didn't.
It was so weird but it sounded so familiar. I truely believe that it was from my Dad...letting me know that he was okay and safe on the other side. And maybe it was him also admitting that there is more beyond this life, he always said when you die, that's it, the end.
Comment
For me the scariest part is that while living she never called me. I didn’t have her number so I never called her. So I don’t know why my cell would be the one her cell or the system would’ve glitched on. My number isn’t in the same area code. The aunt who she called most often wasn’t called during this event. If it was a strange glitch I would expect that number to be called. Not a number in another area code that happens to be her cousin. But maybe that’s just a coincidence how ever improbable. As I wrote, I have no explanation.
Case 9
Great story. My family has had a few occurrences of something like this too. My grandfather lived in assisted living for a while and my dad was the one who would come and help him if he needed anything or just needed some company. He would often call asking him to come over a couple times a week. Then he passed away at age 92. About a month after he passed we got a phone call from his assisted living number that he used to call us on all the time. On the other line was what sounded to be my grandfather asking my dad to come over because he wanted company. It was almost like he was still alive It was so eerie. This happened a couple more times and then eventually stopped about 6 months after his passing. Honestly it was kind of nice to think that he was still thinking of us even after he had passed.
Case 10
Five years ago my cousin died. Her death was long and painful. I was asked by my uncle to see her before she died but due to my work schedule and issues getting a flight I didn’t arrive until after my cousin died. Beginning the day after she died, a number I didn’t know would call but every time I picked up the call would disconnect. This occurred off and on so I didn’t think anything of it.
A couple of days before my cousin’s funeral I was talking with my aunts and mother. My aunt had my cousin’s cell phone and was going to take it to a store to have it recycled. She asked me to get the pictures off it so she could give them to my uncle. As I went through the phone, my cell phone started ringing. My mom picked up my cell and gasped. The number calling was my cousins number. It was the same number that has been calling off and on for the past few days.
But I was holding the phone. It was on but I didn’t dial. My mother wouldn’t answer. I looked in my cousin’s contacts but I wasn’t listed. My aunt tried to rationalize the situation by saying maybe the number was given to someone. So she used her cell to call my cousins number. The call connected to the cell I was holding.
Now all of us freaked and my aunt grabbed the phone out of my hands and yanked the battery out. The calls continued throughout the funeral and up until the burial. My aunt placed my cousins cell with her in her casket as she was buried. No calls have been received since.
To this day I have no explanation for what happened.
Case 11
I have the same experience once. It was after my grandfather died. One night I was about to sleep when someone called my phone and had an unknown number on it. Didn't bother to answer it but it keeps on calling.
I got annoyed and answered it. I was about to scream at this guy but the voice sounds so familiar. I just listened to his voice and recognized that it was my grandfather's. Now my grandfather's phone was that old version of a Nokia keypad (i don't remember what model it is) and it was buried with my grandfather's grave.
Although it was a bit static-y, I can say that it was him and it was a grateful experience. I even let my mother hear it because I was able to record it. It was on my old phone and sadly I can't recover it because it was stolen by some idiot.
I don't quite exactly comprehend what he was saying because it was static-y and gibberish but I heard him say my grandma's name.
Case 12
Hi all, my name is Daniel. And I live alone. Just for a little bit of context, my father passed away in May of last year, coming onto 2 years. He and I were extremely close, and since his passing, I've been feeling really, really down and I've been mourning his loss since. I'm not one to believe in the paranormal, but a ton of strange things have happened since his passing, and I can't explain any of them. Someone please help me if they can with what they think and what I can do.
The first strange occurrence that happened was a random ass phone call, just a month after his passing. However, the strange part about this, is that my phone had never rang, nor were there any other phones in the house. My first thought was that there was an intruder in my house, and after searching the entire house, checking security camera's, nothing turned up. I chalked it up to my mind playing tricks on me, so I brushed it off. That sadly wasn't the final occurrence. Fast forward a few months, and again, that phone going off starts up again, this time, me and a friend were in the house just talking about personal stuff, and when the "phone" went off, we both heard it. The noise literally sounded as if it was in front of us, not from a distance away, for a second time, this time I, and my friend start searching, this time going into the attic, basement. Still nothing. This is where I started getting paranoid.
The following set of occurrences happened just in the span of the last couple months, from September, all the way to just 3 days ago. On the 21st of September, it was a chilly day, so I kept every window closed, and put on a show on the Television. It was a show my father and I used to sit back to and enjoy, and suddenly I get hit with a gust of wind. I checked to see if it was the window that had maybe not been shut all the way, but every single window was closed. Now I knew for sure something was up. Two months later is probably the most weirdest thing to happen, as I just came home from work, I get a call on my phone which says "No caller ID" and this was around the time I was answering important calls for work, so I pick it up. However, there's static on the other end, and just faintly, before the call ended, I heard what sounded like my dad saying my name, before the call hung up. I instantly called my service provider to see if they could track the call, but nothing showed up on their end, no bill, no call history, nothing.
I had no idea what to think, and as I'm typing this, I still don't know how to wrap my head around this. However, the most disturbing thing to happen was a few nights ago, I was heading to bed because I had to go to work early that morning, and before closing my eyes I hear what sounded like a groan coming from 5 feet in front of me. I instantly searched the area and nothing was there. I didn't get sleep that night, and I felt a pain in my chest from that moment. And just about an hour ago, I felt another gust of wind in my room, with everything closed.
As I'm typing this, I'm currently shedding a tear at the thought of my dad is trying to communicate with me, that or it's something else. I apologize for the long story, but I have no way in explaining these occurrences, this is why I created my Reddit account in the first place, to maybe get answers as to what this might be... So if any of you can help me and explain what this may be, I'd highly appreciate it. Please help me.
Thank you, and have a Merry Christmas.
Case 13
Recently deceased grandfather's disconnected phone calls my mom and aunt at the same time, leaves weird voicemail
I never expected to post here but I want to share this story with someone because it is very bizarre. My grandfather recently passed away, he was old and sick, he was in the hospital for almost 2 months, hospice for 2 days, it was horrible. My mom and aunt flew into town to say goodbye and deal with his belongings. My aunt T returned home with his cell phone. She has it in her possession. It is dead and uncharged, it has never been charged since before his passing, he wasnt well enough to use it and nobody ever brought the charger to him from his house when he was in the hospital :( Its an old flip phone.
The number was disconnected for non-payment. When I call his number now, it says "the number you called is out of service or disconnected." So two nights ago, my grandfather's number called my mom and my aunt T at the same time, 8:16 pm. My mom did not pick up the phone, and it left a weird voicemail. Here is a link to the video of the voicemail. My aunt answered the phone. She said she heard sirens on the line, then it hung up on her from that end. They are both in hysterics and emotionally exhausted from this happening. I hope it does not happen again.
Case 14 - I Got a Voicemail From a Dead Man
Okay so this is my first real post on Reddit, apologies if I do anything wrong. I’m not sure whether to post this in paranormal or in a mysteries subreddit, so I’ll do both. This story starts last year on November 5th 2021. Around 3pm I got a phone call from a number in Fredonia, NY, which is about an hour away from where I live in Buffalo. I let it go to voicemail and this is what I heard:
Obviously I'm freaked out. This isn't a voicemail I expected to hear. The creepy breathing, laughter and music box were super unsettling and I assumed that would be it. A minute or two after, I got a text from the number saying "Sorry wrong number." I figured as weird as it was, maybe it was just an accident. Maybe a prank intended for someone else. I started talking about it with my friends when a few minutes pass and I get another phone call from the number. After hearing the first message I definitely wasn't picking up the second and let it run to voicemail again. Here's the second message:
Pretty much the same, just longer with a little more laughter and breathing. They followed up with this text:
This response was very creepy. The fact that he supposedly called the same wrong number twice doesn't seem legit, especially being "one digit off." I ignored the message because I was honestly worried about getting murdered and didn't want to encourage this guy. I shared it with my friends who all thought it was creepy and eventually moved on. As time passed this event faded from memory and I never got any answers. Until today.
I had purchased one of those reverse phone lookups for something a while back, and while watching 4chan and reddit story videos I remembered this incident and figured I should look into it again, since now I had the tool to see who called me. So with my friend and girlfriend, I used Spokeo or whatever its called and looked up the number. The search result gave me a possible person; a person named R Bialaszewski. Here's what it showed when I looked it up:
As you can see, there are two results for the R Bialaszewski that Spokeo connected the number to. I ruled out Rachel because the voice definitely sounded masculine, though perhaps its possible it was her. Maybe someone can make a more clear connection. I then started to do research on Ronald S Bialaszewski. I wanted to find a Facebook or something to link the pieces together. Its also important to note that in the text message I received, the sender mentioned they were texting their brother, and Ronald had relatives that made him more ideal to look at. I searched the web for his name and this is what I found:
The man who I assumed owned the phone number had been dead for five years. You can also see in his obituary that he had a brother, Stephen. I should address a problem first, though. When searching Spokeo, you can see it tells me it belongs to R Bialaszewski and lets me click on the link to take me to see either Rachel or Ronald. Clicking on either of their profiles and looking at their phone numbers shows that neither of them have the 410-7600 number that I was called from. This poses our first big question; is Spokeo 100% correct. I tried using another site and it also showed R Bialaszewski as the owner, but that could just be using the same software Spokeo does. I'm not sure how these sites work, so if you do know, please clarify for me. It's just odd that the site says that its one of these two yet neither have the number on their profiles. So take that for what you will, I'll go more into exploring other possibilities later, but for now let's entertain the idea that Spokeo knows its Ronald or Rachel, but isn't showing the number on there profile because it's an old number or something.
The reason I explained all that is because my first reaction was to go to his brother's page and see if his phone number was similar to mine, thus confirming it was him. I looked at Stephen's page, but his phone number is not similar to mine, definitely not one digit off like the original messenger said. This brings me back to the point about neither Rachel nor Ronald having the correct number on their profile despite Spokeo telling me they owned it. So from here we'll have to take it with a grain of salt. If anyone knows how to see maybe previous numbers or more numbers I'd be happy to check them to see if they match mine, but I won't be sharing my number publicly.
I also found the obituary for Stephen:
As I posted that link I just made a realization (I'm trying to put everything together nice for you guys and I'm still finding new information). When I first saw the obituary, it said he died in 2001 which I didn't look much in to. Upon further inspection, this was misdated. He died October 29, 2021. Exactly one week before I got the phone call. Was Ronald trying to call his brother now that both of them were dead? Honestly it's so close that its hard for me not to get freaked out a little.
Okay so there's my ghost theory. The creepy music, the demonic voices, the dates all could lead to this being some sort of miscall from a ghost. It might sound crazy, but its uncanny how things line up. The obituary was posted on November 1st and said the family weren't going to have a funeral, but a celebration of life on a later date. That date could've been November 5th.
However, without the clear connection to Ronald and Stephen I started to look other places. I looked up the phone number straight in google without the reverse phone search and found a barber shop in Buffalo. It's odd, doesn't have a website or much promotion, but exists. I gave the number a call to make sure it was the same one and it was. My buddy called it all the way and it went to voicemail with no recording. I looked through the Facebook and found more creepy evidence:
The store had just reopened and had gotten a new number, less than a week after I got called. So in the matter of a week whoever had that number lost it and had it taken by these barbers. As I was looking into this I got a text from the number asking who I was and this is how the exchange went:
This proved that the number was under new ownership and the barbershop was unrelated to the mystery. Yet I still wanted some sort of connection. I continued to search for the number and any connection to a person when I found this:
This is the only site that shows the number with a person attached. The hiccup is that this is Ronald J not Ronald S like before. I tried to search for Ronald J but this site nor any others have any information on him or who he knows.
For all I know it could be the same person, which if it is would make the ghost theory even more likely. I just don't know. I can't find anything on Ronald J which makes it more difficult, so if anyone can find anything on him that'd be appreciated.
Alright so that's pretty much everything I know. Obviously there are problems. The numbers of Stephen and Ronald not matching hurts this case. I also don't know how long the number would be inactive after his death, so maybe someone else owned it in between Ronald and the barbershop. It just seems weird how it was given to someone new a week later, but maybe it was someone who had access to this inactive number that was pranking people. Another possibility is it was a son or grandson, but that would be hard to prove and the voice sounds like an adult. Who knows, maybe it's all an elaborate prank or something. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong people all together. If anyone wants to help piece it together that'd be awesome and I can answer any questions you have. As it stands, I'd like to believe that I got a voicemail from a dead man.
Case 15 - Call from Dead Boyfriend?
My ex-boyfriend, whom I remained fairly close to after we stopped dating, died a week ago. Freak heart attack. It's been really hard. I woke up this morning with my telephone telling me that he had called last night right before 3:00 am. I figured who ever had his phone must have been playing with it and accidentally dialed me. Then I got a call out of the blue from his sister-in-law, who I have not seen or spoken to in 5 years. She said she didn't know why she was calling me, but felt she should.
In the conversation she mentioned she had my ex-boyfriend's phone. I told her about my call last night, and she said "No one has touched that phone, especially not last night. Maybe he really was trying to reach you". I've heard this happens, but it still blows my mind. Info?
Case 16 - Phone Call From Dead Parent
About 20 years ago my best friend at the time and his wife had her father, Felix, living with them. They were his caretakers. They pretty much did everything for him, and that included cleaning him every morning because of his incontinence and difficulty holding his bowels.
They really did a great job and deserved my compliments several times. One day my friend Mike went into Felix’s room when he would normally be awakening only to find him in full rigor mortis; Felix had sadly passed sometime in the night. I was employed at the time as a cemetery pre-need salesman but also could arrange at-need services, and so I did. I helped them to prepare Felix’s final resting location and waived my commission as i didn’t feel right charging it to these two individuals who had done so much to make Felix’s last years comfortable.
About a week later we held the service, at which I officiated, and it was well-attended and we gave Felix the send-off he deserved. I rode home in the limo provided for family by the funeral home/cemetery after the service and we all sat around for a while just decompressing and taking a well needed break. The wife, Mary, then noticed that there was a message on their answering machine (yes this was during that time where we had physical landlines and attached answering machines!). She pressed the play button and the time stamp the machine read was oddly the identical time as when we had the grave-side service for Felix. It was recorded at 11:00 AM. The graveside service was at 11:00 AM. We thought at first it was just someone who had missed the service calling to wish condolences.
When the recording started every jaw in the room suddenly dropped and an honest to goodness chill filled the room. There were five of us present: Mike and Mary *the daughter), myself, my brother James, and a friend of theirs from across the street whose name I did not know..
The background noise was the first thing we heard and it sounded like someone was in a room with a large group of people. You know, lots of audible voices but nothing we could completely discern. Then Felix spoke. The voice on the recording was clearly and unmistakably Felix.
“Please do not follow me.” Was what he said and then the recording stopped. We had what seemed like a recently deceased parent calling during his OWN funeral service begging us to please not follow him.
“Don’t follow him into death?” Not possible.
“Don’t follow his life choices?” He had made many bad ones including a brief stint in prison for a relatively minor offense.
Here’s the one that his daughter thought was his intent. “Don’t follow me into hell.” She believed until her dying day that her father had made contact one last time telling her to not follow his path and end up where he did once he took that step into the unknown journey called death.
Twenty years later and i remember that moment and the stunned silence, shock, and fear of that moment like it just happened today.
What do you think? To this day I am 100% certain that phone call was indeed contact from Felix in the afterlife.
Case 17
My grandfather just passed away recently. He died peacefully a Monday in his home, on hospice, the following Friday while my family was there, the house phone rang and the caller Id was my grandfather's name. My uncle was the one saying it was his name, by the time my dad got up he only had time to see that it was his name (or the house phone?) Calling the house and didn't get to answer before it stopped ringing.
Case 18
When grandma passed away in her sleep we had weird things happening for several days afterwards. My immediate family and I were staying in a cottage across the street from my grandfather's house. It was the day after the funeral and many of us were in the cottage visiting. It was getting pretty late and I decided to go to sleep on the pull-out couch.
Roughly an hour later I woke up to the phone ringing. The phone was pretty old, with a scroll-dial and no caller ID. My uncle was the first to answer it. He was silent for a few seconds before dropping the phone and running across the street to my grandfather's. My uncle said he heard my grandmother's voice crying and could hardly understand her. The only thing she got out was "watch your father" before he freaked out and ran across the street to check on him.
To this day he doesn't like talking about it and refuses to believe it was anything more than a coincidence. I still remember the dumbfounded look on his face after answering the phone. My uncle considered it closure for himself. However, he became obsessed with contacting her again sometime afterwards. Spent years paying "psychics" and using the Ouija board. It got to the point where he had almost no money to survive on because he spent every spare dime on a private call, or some conference in another country. I personally believe he had lost it there for awhile, and honestly don't think he had the closure he claimed he had. If anything, the call was a catalyst for the mistakes he made later on.
It is a part of his life that he tries to forget about, and hates discussing it. It's kind of a taboo subject in the family. I made the mistake of prying for more information and he lost his mind. I have never seen him that angry. However, he drilled it into my head that some things are better left unanswered. That is one of my go-to mottos in life.
I am somewhat glad that no one answered on your side. It's a double-edged sword. It might bring closure, or it might bring a decade of pain and regret. I know my uncle regrets answering it, and I am glad that no one on your side ended up with the same regrets.
Case 19
This is my first post. Here is the setting: Me, my mom and my dad were staying a couple months in the mountains of Virginia (for complicated reasons), in an old cottage built by my however many greats grandparents. One night I'm watching TV dozing off when we get a phone call. He asks me if everything is all right and stuff and I said everything was fine. Then he asked if I know who this is and I can't remember if I said anything then he says "It's your uncle Bob."(not real name) and I said ok in my sleepiness not realizing what he said cause he sounded like my grandpa. Oh and during the call he was talking to some people saying "Oh thanks goodbye!"
After we hang up my mom comes downstairs and asks who I talked to and I said uncle Bob and she was puzzled by my answer and after that I can't remember much since I was so sleepy. The "spookiest" part was the fact that my uncle died a long time ago and he stayed at the cottage for a few months then stayed with my great grandma and died there. The reason he asked if we were ok was because of those complications and he went through tough times while staying there. No one knows who it really was but I believe it was my dead uncle who called me and I wish I was more awake to ask a lot of questions.
Case 20 - 911 Calls From an Abandoned House
UPDATE / NEW POST WITH FINDINGS 12-7-18
UPDATED 11/27/18 7:36 pm
UPDATED WITH INFO ON HOUSE 11-26-18 2:35 am
******UPDATED WITH AUDIO 11-25-18 @ 7:05 pm ******
I'm a sheriff's deputy in a fairly busy county so we see and hear strange things all of the time but this gives me the chills. There's an abandoned house in a rural area of the county that sits a good ways back into the woods. Every so often, our dispatch will recieve a 911 call from a land line at the residence with nothing but white noise. The dispatchers ask if anyone is there but they never get an answer. Since it's an open 911 call and we know the address, we have to respond and every time we do, there is no one there. The oddest thing is, there is no electricity or any signs of wiring going to the house. Every deputy that's been there gets a feeling of dread just being on the property. I'm not sure of the history of the house so I dont know what could be there. Any thoughts on what it could be?
EDIT: I'm working in the zone of this house tonight so I'll try and go by and snap a photo of the house if I can.
UPDATE: On the way out to the property, I found a vehicle driving on the wrong side of the road so I'm at the jail finishing paperwork on the DWI. I will post the pictures as soon as I can. At the latest, it will be 0800 central time.

UPDATE: PART 2 OF THE STORY Wow! I honestly did not expect this to get much attention. Thanks for all of the input and comments!
To preface this part of this account, I consider myself to be pretty rational when it comes to odd situations but I'm open to the idea of supernatural activity. I posted here because this is one of those cases I felt you all would enjoy on this sub and to see if anyone might have any possible explanations or similar instances (apparently there are a few stories out there very similar to mine). Not in it for the karma, just an interesting story I wanted to share.
Anyways....
This was my first time walking up to this place so It was definitely an experience. The trail is gated off so I had to walk to it. It's about 200 yards back into the woods through very dense brush and trees. There was nearly 0 lum on the trail and I really had to watch my step even with my flashlight. I jumped a deer on the way up and it scared the living hell out of me. Once I turned the corner at the end of the trail and saw the house, my heart started racing and I honestly felt like something was there with me. I started messing with my flashlight, phone, and notepad trying to get a good photo of the verification with the house when I felt that I needed to leave. It wasn't a feeling of 'I shouldn't be here' but more of a 'you need to get the **ck out of dodge... NOW'. Having been in very stressful situations in the past, I've learned to trust that feeling. I got the best photos I could and sped walked back down the trail towards my car. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I legitimately felt something was following me. I made it back to the car, and sat with my spotlight pointed at the trail head waiting to see if something would come out of he woods. Fortunately, nothing did. I sat for a minute and caught my breath while I reviewed the photos hoping I got was sufficient because I did NOT want to go back.I'm about to go off duty so this is it for today. I'm really interested in what the hell happened at this place and I plan to do some research tomorrow (Sunday nights are usually extremely slow for us).
11-25-18 7:05 pm Central UPDATE: I was able to obtain a few recordings of the calls from the house. Here is the Soundcloud playlist (Started an account just for you guys!)
https://soundcloud.com/user-982327639
Call 1- Short clip with white noise. Call 2- Long clip with white noise. The dispatcher I got it from said you can hear the dispatcher saying "hello" but I wasn't able to hear it. 911 Call 3 - Female dispatcher saying "911" with white noise. 911 Call 4 - Male dispatcher saying "911" with white noise.
UPDATE: 11/26/18 2:35 am Central
I’ve been doing some research between calls tonight and I have some history on the property. The house was built in 1890 and the first deed on file was registered in 1901. The property has since been in possession of the same family that owns it today. From what I could find, the current owners of the property live out of state now but had previously lived either in the house or on the property some years back. The area it’s in was a boom town during the late 1800’s but fizzled out shortly afterwards due to lack of profits from the mines. Other than that, I haven’t found anything that makes the property stand out. On a more speculative note, the house sits close to an area where a Native American tribe was known to reside. I will dig deeper into the history of the property and the family and see what I can find out. Thanks again for all of the comments and advice! It really is appreciated.
UPDATE: 11/27/18 7:36 pm Central
Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been spending time with family the past couple of days and I haven't gotten much done. I have the name of the person who has the deed to the property but contacting them has been a bit of a task. I plan to go back to the house tomorrow during the day so more photos will follow. In the meantime, check out u/barkles52 's r/nosleep posts! They will definitely creep you out. They have me freaked out about going back.
Case 21 - Deceased boyfriend answered my phone.
This is an experience that happened to me when I was in high school, to this day I still can't explain it. When I was a sophomore in high school I had a boyfriend who was two years ahead of me. He was all set up to go to boot camp for the Marine Corps when he graduated. We definitely were in puppy love and he was my first serious boyfriend. The time came and he graduated, he was going to spend the summer with his dad in California and I was going to spend the summer with my dad in Pennsylvania. At the end of the summer is when he would ship out to basic training in MCRD San Diego. Over the summer we would talk but we had a fight and we ended up breaking up. I cant even remember what it was about. We stopped talking for awhile, he went to basic, and then went to infantry training and then he deployed to Iraq. He was there a few months and he emailed me. I returned the email and we talked about a few times every week. One of the conversations we had was about us breaking up and we ended up arguing about it. After that I stopped getting emails from him, I thought he was just mad at me.
It was then my senior year and I was doing a project for my American Government class on the war in Iraq. I came across the casualty page and I saw his picture, it was towards the top because his last name starts with "A". I was shocked and I lost it. I saw that he died the day after our last conversation. I couldn't believe that no one got in touch with me to tell me. I reached out to his mom and she told me he got rid of anything and everything that reminded him of me. He threw away papers with my number on it and she said she tried to find me but she couldn't. I personally think if she tried harder she could have but then again she was a grieving mother who lost her son and I was probably the last thing on her mind. I asked her how he died and she told me that he was the gunner on top of the humvee and while on patrol a group of insurgents tried to ram them off the road, the driver of the humvee swerved and flipped the humvee, it landed on N (my ex).
Fast forward through a few months of grieving him, drinking, drug use, crying etc.. One night I was home with my Mom, me and her got into an argument and I called my friend Torri and told her to come and pick me up so I could stay thr night with her, she told me she was out to dinner with her parents but would call me when she was done. I left my phone on the charger upstairs because it was dying. I went back downstairs and talked things out with my mom and we ended up watching a movie. I went upstairs after the movie and I had 5 missed calls from Torri. I called her back and she said "hey is Rob (our other friend) with you?" I told her no it was just me and my mom, my stepdad was at work. She said "someone answered your phone" I told her that was impossible as my phone was upstairs and it was just my mom and I. She freaked out and yelled "oh my God I talked to a dead guy!" I asked her what he said. She said he answered the phone "hello?" She asked if I was there and he said I was busy at the moment and she said she asked him to tell me she called and he said "dandy!" (As in fine and dandy) That instantly gave me the chills because N used to say that phrase a lot. I asked her if she was sure she called my phone and she said she looked at the phone and it said "Connected Alish" I hung up the phone and checked through my calls and sure enough there was a recent call on my phone that lasted 23 seconds.
To this day I cant explain it. After that happened there were a few times that the thermostat outside my room would be turned all the way down without anyone touching, and my house was a newer home. Anyways, sorry for the extremely shitty writing but I really wanted to share this with all of you. If you have something negative or rude to say, please dont leave a comment. Positive vibes only. Any explanations are welcome!
Edit: Changed his name to "N", separated paragraphs so it's easier to read.
Case 22
Something similar happened to my oldest sister. It was maybe a month or so after my dad passed (this was early 2011) and she was at a party. Drinking away her sorrows kind of thing. My dads phone was already deactivated but she got a call with his contact name that she never deleted out of grief. She said she ran outside and when she answered it, she heard a man sobbing who sounded just like my dad. According to her, as soon as she went to speak (she was in shock, she couldn't speak for a bit) the call ended. She said the call was maybe 45 seconds long. When she tried to call back, she got the typical "the number you have dialed is not available".
To this day it still freaks her out a bit. She's always talking about how sad and horrified he sounded. Lets hope my dad and N are doing well in the afterlife. Sending good vibes your way, my friend. <3
Case 23
Let me start off by saying that while I love reading about paranormal experiences, I’m definitely a skeptic and always assume there’s a logical explanation that doesn’t involve the supernatural. Having said that, even I don’t really have an explanation for this.
I woke up one morning and saw that I had about 4 missed calls from my mom and 3 missed calls from my brother made the previous night. I panicked, thinking my grandmother or someone else was in the hospital. I immediately called my mom and as soon as she answered the phone she asked, “Do you think you’re being funny?” Completely confused as to why she was upset, she just told me to call my brother.
So I called my (half) brother and he asked if my dad, John, was okay (I live with him). When I asked why, he said it was because he got a phone call last night from my phone number and when he answered, a voice just said, “John is dead” and the call ended. He said that even though it was my phone number, it was not my voice. He said it was deeper and somehow creepy, like not entirely human sounding. I thought a logical explanation might be that I butt dialed him and my phone picked up the audio from a tv show or something. Afterwards, I checked my call log and I don’t recall seeing a call made to my brother. That was maybe 1-2 years ago and my dad is fine. I just have no explanation for what happened that night.
Case 24
When my grandmother was dying, she had been sent home from hospital to spend her last days at home. My parents, aunts and uncles took turns staying with her in pairs each night. My parents were staying with her one evening and I was awakened out of a deep sleep at about 3:30am the following morning - I expected it to be the dreaded call one ever likes to answer. As I rushed to answer, my sister had just beat me to it but it stopped ringing just as she got to it. She dialled 1471 (our version of *69) and looked up at me. "Granny's number", she said. She pressed redial and my mum answered.
My mum said, "Your granny has just died but how did you know to call?" My sister said she had missed the call placed to us seconds before. My mum said that there was only her and my dad the house with my grandmother and no one had left the room. Though I tend to be a bit skeptical at times, I like to think that was my grandmother saying a last goodbye.
Case 25
A secondhand story that has always fascinated me: My high-school friend (we'll call him SLEDGE) fell in with a famous motorcycle club in his late 20's. At this point of his life he'd been in and out of jail a few times, so it seemed a good fit for his moral code at the time.
Sledge soon was voted into the club as a Prospect. Basically, you become a slave of the club but this is your time to prove your worth as a possible full member. Prospects answer to all members, but you are assigned to a particular member. To Sledge's dismay, he was assigned to Victor. Victor was a full-out hedonist - in fact he had already destroyed his organs with drugs and alcohol and wasn't expected to live long. But Victor was still lively and often encouraged Sledge to partake of the underage girls he always seemed to have around. Sledge found this distasteful and when he would refuse Victor would punish him with dirty work or making him stay awake for days.
Like a good prospect Sledge endured a year of servitude to Victor. The other members recognized that Victor gave Sledge a hard time and soon rewared Sledge with full membership. About six months later Victor passed away.
Sledge didn't join the club for the parties, and found his active participation in other club activities came at the cost of sleep and exhaustion. One morning he awoke to find himself on the floor with the phone in his hand. He figured he'd find out later who he fell asleep on but never did....until....
Months later he was at home again and was suddenly shocked with the full memory of that late night phone conversation. He had the sudden revelation that "I TALKED TO VICTOR!"
Sledge didn't tell me much about their conversation, but at the time of the call he was well aware Victor was dead, and evidently Victor opened with "Yah Motherfucker, I'm calling you from the grave!" Evidently they talked for ten minutes at which point Sledge passed out holding the phone. Sledge swears this was not a dream, that he actually had a conversation with Victor that night.
What's always fascinated me about this account is the delayed recollection. In most of these stories, once the listener realizes the speaker is dead, the conversation ends immediately. But Victor opens with the fact that he is speaking from the grave. Did Victor's forthright manner then demand that Sledge have amnesia about the event? As if the rules bar you from having a direct conversation with the dead, but allow you to have a MEMORY of speaking with the dead?
Case 26
My ex and his sister had a really good one. In the mid-90's, their dad had remarried and they had a great life together. One night she woke up and said, "I don't feel good." He went to get her some water but by the time he got back she had passed away.
About a year after she passed, the phone rang at about 2 a.m. The caller id displayed a local city and thinking it may be an emergency, Sister answered. She panicked and yelled, "WHO IS THIS?! STOP FUCKING AROUND!!". She hung up and said that though the connection was bad, it sounded like Stepmom and she was asking to speak to her (Stepmom's) brother, who hadn't lived there for a while. It rang again. She answered, same dialogue. Her dad picked up the phone and asked who it was; she identified herself as his deceased wife, said it was important that she talk to her brother, then the line disconnected.
They tried to call the number back but the robot voice said it was no longer in service. The number was from the city that she was born, raised, and lived in until she moved in with them after the marriage. They've never been able to explain it and calls to the phone company just made things worse. This was before number spoofing, the call came from a landline and that number hadn't been assigned to anyone. This seems to be one of those stories where the unreasonable explanation makes more sense than any reasonable explanation ever could.
Did they try to reach her brother?
They wanted to but he left no contact information when he moved out of their house some months before her death.. He was an alcoholic and was mostly estranged, but she wasn't the type of person to turn away family that needs help.
Case 27
legitimately cannot believe this is happening right now. At the end of last November, my fiancée's father died of a short and sudden battle with cancer. Since then she has not been the same. She and her dad lived together (just the two of them) for 13 years. They meant everything to each other. His death shook the foundations of her life and she's still in a limbo state.
The past months she's been reaching out to him, pleading for a sign and unfortunately, she's gotten nothing. She has dedicated the mantle as a shrine to him and sleeps on the couch overlooking it.
This morning, she was on the phone with her grandmother (her dad's mom) and she started crying, wishing for a sign. She touched the mantle and walked away.
Her house phone immediately rang, but she was on her cell phone and didn't want to talk, so she checked her caller ID... The call was to her home phone -FROM HER HOME PHONE. She picked it up and there was only silence for a few moments before the call disconnected.
She told me and I hopped on here, surprised as all hell to see this as the second from top thread. Her dad would call the house phone if he couldn't get her on her cell. My theory is that he heard her plea and was reaching out to her.
Case 28
This happened to my mom, but I was 8 or 9 years old at the time and was there when it happened. It was Thanksgiving, a few years after my grandfather passed away, and my immediate family and my grandma were just starting to sit down at the dining room table to eat. The phone rang and my mom walked into the next room to answer it. Didn't think much of it until about a minute later I heard my mom crying. Walked into the kitchen to see my mom sobbing in the chair next to the phone. Apparently she answered the line and it was crackly, then she heard her father (with a very distinct, rough voice) say "Hi Sue." She said "Hi dad!" completely forgetting that her dad passed away when she heard his voice. Then the line went dead and she realized that her dad wasn't alive to call her; she said "hello?" and then a telemarketer came on the line. (Which in and of itself was strange because it was a major holiday.) The only people who called my mom Sue instead of Susan were her dad and her husband, never strangers or other friends/family.
About 10 years after that happened, my mom woke up in the middle of the night to see an apparition of her father by the side of her bed. She said it lasted about 10 seconds before dissipating, and she swears she was completely awake when it happened.
Case 29
This is part of a longer story, but my uncle passed away just before Christmas in what was my grandmother and grandfather's home. He was unable to move or speak the last week of his life. My uncle and late grandfather shared their name (it was one of those Roman numeral situations) and the phone line was still listed under it in many places even though my grandmother was the one who paid the bills on it and officially lived in the house (my uncle actually lived next door).
Just before his death and leading up to his burial, we kept getting calls at the home phone number from the home phone number and my uncle/grandfather's name would appear on caller ID. My great uncle posited that this may be a telemarketing trick, and it may well have been, but considering there were several other strange occurrences in the same time period, I found the timing extremely odd. It may well be a coincidence, but this never happened before my uncle lost command of his body or after he was buried. We never answered the phone when this happened. Now I wish we had. If you're interested in this type of thing, I've read a few accounts in the Jezebel Halloween story threads, particularly in 2014.
Case 30
So once while I was near a cemetary I stopped for a minute or two to look at it via the gate (because the cemetary is somewhat unique - it seems to be very old and abandoned). About 30 minutes later I saw that I have a missed phone call from home. The thing is - no one were home. I called my parents - they were somewhere else for about 2-3 hours. No one was there. Yeah, this is that cemetary:
Case 31 - Phone calls from beyond the grave?
My grandmother died back in 2005. My mom took it extremely hard - my grandma was starting to get better, than randomly had a stroke one morning, and was pronounced brain dead later that afternoon. A week or so after her funeral, my mom is at home. She works at the hospital and is often on call, meaning she has to be at work within 30 minutes or she can be terminated. Randomly the answering machine button starts flashing (good ole days when we had landlines and answering machines)- which was odd because the phone hadn't rang (would have been on loud bc my mom was on call).
We check the message and its a song about a loved one dying, and seeing them on the other side (August by Rilo Kiley). The phone number that left that message? 000-0000 - unknown.
12 years later we still have no idea what that phone call was about or who made it.
[Verse 1]
August, I'll see you soon
Under yellow moons
Where I'll gather what's left of you
And August, I'm on your side
Or did I speak too soon?
Now we've crossed the great divide
[Chorus]
Someday, we'll meet beyond the stars
And it'll be away from here
Someday, we'll meet beyond the time and the bars
And it will be away from here
[Verse 2]
August, August of last year
Before the leaves disappeared
Told me you were not the one
And August, something in your eyes
Or was it in your lies
That told me not to take it to heart?
[Chorus]
Someday, we'll meet beyond the stars
And it will be away from here
Someday, we'll meet beyond the limits of who we are
And it will be away from here
[Chorus 2]
Someday, we'll meet beyond the stars
And it'll be away from here
Someday, we'll meet beyond the land that you call "miles away"
Away from here
Cases 32-71
032 -
I had a similar experience. Once my phone rang and when I picked it up I could hear a girl crying. At first I thought it was my friend and I asked if it was her a few times but no response, just crying. I still thought it was her so I decided to wait for her to finish. 30 seconds later all of a sudden my brother is on the line. He had called me to begin with and he said for 30seconds he couldn't hear a thing.
Later that day my bedroom door opened by itself and I felt a real touch on my shoulder when no one was there. I think ghosts can easily connect to electronics especially landlines. My experience was on a landline phone.
033 - A call from the dead?
I’m not sure this is the right place for this or if a paranormal subreddit would be better but whatever. I’ve never talked about this because there isn’t much but it is strange so I thought I’d post it anyway. About 3 years ago my grandmother passed away. We have a family friend named Rob, keep in mind he’s not very close to us.
Anyways a few days after the funeral Rob gets a call. He described it as a confused sounding old woman asking for me. He said it sounded exactly like my grandmother and was from an “unknown caller” (no number).
Nobody in my family would call Rob when looking for me. So could this just be coincidence? An old woman mistakingly calling my family friend and looking for a person with my name? Or was it my recently deceased grandmother trying to get in touch?
034 - I haven't told this to anyone because it sounds too outlandish (phone demon..?)
When I was a teenager I was often home alone as my dad spent a lot of his time at our summer cottage with his girlfriend. I was responsible for the house and if I needed to be informed of anything my dad would call our home (landline) phone. Sometimes it would be about how to handle the fireplace on colder nights, sometimes just to ask if the house was still in working order.
One night the phone rang and instead of the normal going up the stairs to pick it up, I got a really bad feeling. Like if I picked up it was going to be really bad. Like I should NOT answer the phone. I shook the feeling away, because if my dad was calling this late it had to be important.
Only, when I picked up it wasn't my dad. It was this not-a-human voice saying "Haloo" (which is the word we use to greet people on phone in my country).
I admit to smashing the phone back onto its holder and not wasting much time to get my shoes and jacket to run out. Yeah, I apparently scare easy.
Fast forward 2 years. I am in my first apartment and have my own mobile phone. I was walking my brand new puppy when I got a call that went straight to voicemail. I got the same dread feeling even though it was a sunny day and I was outdoors. I played my messages and I had one from my grandma and one from "unknown number". I played both. The one from grandma was just normal like "call me back when you get this", and then when it got to the other one it was the same "Haloo" in a not-a-human voice that I had heard a few years ago.
I know it sounds ridiculous but this is 100% true.
The only way I can describe the voice is that it was between a growl and a speaking voice.
This is something I don't tell people. Not because I am not a believer in paranormal, but because it sounds so weird. I also still don't like to be at my dad's house alone. It's a creepy circus of its own. But the phone calls still bother me, even though it's like 17 years ago.
035 - Phone call from dead sister? Help
Hi, Im searching for answer of something that happened to me this morning. I have posted this in several other forums I have found on google. I just need answers, Please.
Very quick back story I guess. I lost my sister this February to "suicide" I put that in inverted commas because I still do not believe it was a suicide for the fact she left no explanation for anybody and more so didn't tell me anything before it ( being a yr apart in age me and her where extremely close).
Now to the event this morning that has me extremely rattled and upset.
I was asleep in my bed with my girlfriend when I was waken by my phone ringing ( It woke her up too, this is how I know it wasn't me dreaming). It was 3:37Am I know this because when it rang I looked at the screen to see what number was calling me and saw the time. It was a private number (unknown number) usually I will not answer private number calls, but being half asleep and guessing it was probably a drunk friend ringing to be picked up from somewhere I answered.
I said hello, and all I could hear was this muffled kinda static sounds, No one replied so again I said hello again no response so I thought it was probably just a prank call or some shit and was about to hang up when I heard my name get called "Paul" It was clear as day and sounded 100% like my sister. I kinda froze and started to panic said her name a few times pretty much pleading it to be her.
then all I herd was "Im sorry I love you Please help me" the last bit is what has made me really upset and uneasy the "please help me".
I asked where she was then I heard a really really loud screeching sound then it went back to the dial tone...
When it hung up I turned to my girlfriend she said my face was pale white, she asked why I was saying my sisters name and what was wrong and its then that i had a complete meltdown and cried harder then I ever had. I didn't go back to sleep I just sat up with my phone in my hand waiting, Today even I took the day off work and I have just been sitting with my phone.
I need advice, what can I do? Should I tell Family what happened?
Im am so confused upset and scared right now I just need answers to what happened! Please.
EDIT: Thank you so much everybody For the responses and PM's. I have taken on board alot of your guys advice.
As for the calls, I have not gotten another one. I am going to see a Medium, I saw a psychic but nothing came from that really...
Also a couple have suggested an Ouija board? Im not to sure about that one as I have read some really bad stories while i was researching about them.
Again thank you so much everybody!
036 - "So cold" "Freezing"
the thing that gets me about this story is the "So cold" and "Freezing" comments. A few years ago when flip phones were still a thing, i got the creepiest text. My best friends Chris' brother Pete (who was like my big brother I never) had killed himself. Fast forward a few years to one day when I was thinking about Pete all day randomly and I receive a text from Chris that says "so cold 0 chills" then it said "freezing" I replied to Chris saying "what the hell are you talking about lol" He didn't reply just another text saying "where am I?" It also said "Pete" as well but this is going back almost ten years ago so I can't fully remember what else it said.
So I call Chris laughing saying are you having a stroke or something? He said he has no idea what I'm talking about. So I explain to him the text I got thinking he pocket texted me or something. He checks his phone and nothing is in his sent box. He's FREAKING out saying he didn't send it and starts telling me that he was thinking a lot about Pete the last few days as well. Pete had been dead at least 6 years at this point so it was odd that we both had him heavily on our minds that particular day. Also to receive that text. I know Chris would never and I mean NEVER joke about Pete texting me. He was almost in tears when I read the text.
So seeing the cold and freezing thing here on a screen sent chills down my spine like i haven't had in a very long time. Regardless of this being true or not it definitely struck a nerve.
037 - Phone call from the deceased
My dad passed away in 2008. After he passed, the business that comes along with that, taking personal time, etc., we began to handle his personal affairs. One of which being the cell phone plan my brother, my father and I had shared for many years and was in his name. We called Verizon, had the number canceled, switched the plan in to my name, and went about normally.
A few days later (about a month since my dad's passing), I received a phone call from my dad's number. I was completely freaked out for about 2 seconds before rationale set in and I ignored the call. I figured it was a glitch of some sort, blamed it on a flaw in technology and never really thought of it again. About 3 days later another call comes in from my dad's old number. I ignore it, but a few minutes later I get a voice mail from the call. I immediately check the voice mail, figuring it would be an explanation of why this person who now hass my dad's old number is calling me, or a message from Verizon...
It was neither. What it actually was, was a static-filled, barely audible voice mail about 15 seconds long. I replayed it a few times and thought I heard some faint, dissonant voice but I talked myself out of believing it.
Again, a few days later, another call. This one I answered as soon as I could. I remember the event quite clearly - sitting at the desk in my room of my mom's house on a hot summer day, just wasting some time on the internet. When I answer, I hear the same thing I heard on the voice mail; mostly static, mostly inaudible fuzz but I could faintly hear some sort of voice far off until the call ends about 15 seconds in.
Now I'm starting to really freak out. I tell everyone in my family, who, all just assume I am traumatized and I am imagining things. So I call Verizon - on speaker phone - in front of my mom and brothers, and ask about my dad's number. They tell me the number was disconnected based upon a request of the family, even giving me condolences for my loss. I hang up. Everyone sitting around the kitchen table rationalizes and discredits my story. But I know what I heard and I have still not to this day ever concluded a possible "normal" explanation for what happened.
tl;dr: my dad's old cell phone number called me a few times after he passed away with no explanation.

My friend experienced this (a land line call) right after her grandmother died! She was so disturbed by the strange, garbled, staticky voice on the line that she unplugged her phone from the wall, and it rang once more while unplugged! So bizarre.
039 -
Pretty much the exact same thing happened to me and a few of my friends.
In 2011 one of my best friends in the world died of an overdose. She had been doing heroin unbeknownst to the rest of us, and wound up dying from it. About two weeks after she was buried, we started receiving strange voice mails. The phone wouldn't ring, but yet a voice mail would pop up. It happened to my friend Joe first, then me. Later, it happened again to another close friend. Both of these people were very close to the deceased.
We were all together at one time and we got to talking about these strange calls we had been receiving. So we got to discussing and comparing the voice mails we had gotten. We all described what we had heard, and determined that they were all the same. It was full of static, and what sounded like a garbled mechanized voice saying something from a distance. When I went to pull the message up to let the others hear, it was gone. So they tried, and theirs were gone, too. We had all kept it on our phones because it was too strange not to let someone else hear it to get their opinion. But yet, every time each of us would go to play it, it would immediately disappear.
Do I think it was our friend? I would like to hope so, I do. We didn't get to say goodbye, and she was very close to all of us. She'd say that she had the people she did drugs with, and she'd say she had her 'real friends' which were us. Her death hit us hard. It's something I still haven't gotten over. Because sometimes I'll think of something crazy, or remember something that I want to tell her about, and then I realize that she's gone and I can't. It hurts, it does.
But it's just so odd that the only people who got these strange voice mails were just the very few people whom she felt were like family to her, so soon after she passed.
I have another story about this point in time if anyone wants to hear it.
Well, like I said, around the same time that the previous story took place, another event happened.
It was with two of my good friends who were like brothers to the deceased. Though I wasn't there at the time and given the subject matter, I took their word for it.
So two of my friends, I'll call them Keith and Scott - brothers, were at Keith's house just hanging around not doing anything special. They were both sitting in the kitchen, I believe Keith was on his laptop at that time and Scott was breaking up a bowl for the both of them. Other than the clicking of the keys and whatever noise Scott was making, it was pretty much silent. They explained that the next thing that happened sounded like it came from another plane of existence; out of absolutely nowhere they heard "BITCH!". They both jumped at the noise, as it was very clear that the word bitch had been uttered, and they both took off running outside on to the porch. After they collected themselves, they both came to the conclusion they had both heard the same thing, and it was definitely the word 'bitch'. Afterward, they both started crying as 'bitch' and 'ol bitch ass' was pretty much the catch phrase of the person who had died.
When they explained it to me, they said that it had sounded pretty much the same as how we all had heard the voice mails; mechanized, but 'far away' sounding, like it 'came on the wind'.

About 2 months after my Dad passed away we were having a family dinner night at my step-mothers house. All of the people that were involved in my Dads end of days care were present. Stepmom, brother, a few family friends and my wife, kids and me.
In the middle of dinner the phone rang, I was eating on the couch so I grabbed the handset and took a look at the callerID and there it was. Incoming call from my Dad's home phone number, shocked. I answered and there was static, I kept saying hello but nothing. I knew the number was disconnected, I disconnected it with the phone company a month before. I called the number back and it immediately went to a recording "this line has been disconnected". Just to clarify Dad and the step-mom were basically divorced and lived in separate homes.

My daddy passed away very suddenly due to outright medical error. He was only 59. The day after he passed my mom and my sister were out gathering copies of photos for the funeral. When they got back she saw there was a message on the answering machine. When she played it there was this,(low key kinda creepy but beautiful,)hymnal playing in what we later found out to be Latin. My mom took it to our priest whom deciphered,some of the verses saying things like "my pain is gone,I'm walking with our beloved ones,I'm in heaven, not afraid anymore......" Needless to say we knew where it came from..we had a immense feeling of peace and relief after that.
042 -
So brief background, I work for a company that answers phones and takes messages for businesses when they're closed, out to lunch, after hours, ect.
We answer for a variety of companies in different fields, including funeral homes. This situation has happened twice that I have talked to the person myself on the phone, and a few other times as well and I think it's very interesting and thought maybe it would warrant discussion here.
So the first time it happened, I took the message from this lady whose mother had passed recently. Body was already picked up and dressed and at the funeral parlor, visitation was scheduled for the following day. She calls and is weepy, and asks if her mother's phone is still in her jacket pocket, because they just got a call from her number. I end up dispatching the call (calling the director to deliver the message verbally) and he says that he'll call her, but the body is in the casket and the casket is closed, waiting in their parlor. I say "Wow, weird." And he kind of chuckles and says THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN YOU WOULD THINK.
It's been a year or more since that call and I just yesterday got another call similar for another funeral home, and other people I work with have had the same types of stories. Just wanted to get some outside opinions, because it's interesting and creepy at the same time.

I had a similar thing. My Dad passed away in 2016. I had his phone after he died but I’d taken his SIM card out and put mine in and so his was left in my bedroom at home. Anyway, I was walking to work and my phone started ringing and it was his number and it still said “Dad” on the caller ID. I was freaked out but I answered it and all I heard was breathing then he hung up. I was really frightened and I phoned my sisters to ask if it was them but they said they’d got the same call. Spooky stuff.

My grandmother died in February 1996. She outlived my grandfather who had died in 1989. After her death, my father handled having her utilities disconnected, and the home and farm were sold pretty quickly. In 1999, I was running my family's newly opened business that was in a town about 120 miles north of where my grandparents were from and are buried.
One day, when the phone rang, I couldn't believe what I saw on the Caller ID. It showed that the call was coming from my grandparents' long disconnected phone number, and my grandfather's name was also displayed. When I answered, there was no one on the line. I have no explanation for how this happened.
045 -
This actually just happened to me. My grandmother had been ill for 4 years, it all started with her feeling like she was allergic to certain foods (fish, nuts) that she had eaten all of her life with no problems. Long story short my grandmother was a smaller lady, skinny bow legs, tiny arms... she ended up having cancer in her liver, lungs and the bottom of her esophagus.
She lived in a very small town, we are talking population 3,000. The hospitals there suck, they almost killed me when I was born as well as my siblings. She was in the hospital for about 16 days and had a very small chemo treatment the day before she passed. My uncle was there with her when he noticed she wasn’t breathing right.. maybe it was the stage 4 lung cancer?? He got frightened and hit her call light... no answer. Went to the hallway and NO ONE was in sight. He screamed for nurses, running all over the floor and it took 10 mins to find someone. She was in cardiac arrest. They put her on life support until all of her grandkids and family could be there to say their final goodbyes. I live 3 hours from the hospital she was at, I made it with an hour and a half. I held her hand and told her I love her. 30 mins later, she was gone.
It had been about 6 months since she had passed when the phone calls occurred. I always wore my Fitbit since I worked in an ER at the tome Incase there was ever an emergency at home and I didn’t have my phone on me. There had been a few family issues around this time of an aunt everyone hates (even my gma who passed) selling things of hers and stealing from my grandpa who is still living. I was torn. I hate confrontation and didn’t want to cause anymore stress. That night I talked to my gma, and asked her to somehow let me know what you make her happy.. to confront my aunt or just let it go. I messaged my aunt on Facebook that night and let her know that I had a few individuals interested in some of the card making stuff she was getting rid of and organizing that was my grandmas.
I fell asleep around 9, woke up at 11pm to a message on Facebook from my aunt.. and my aunt couldn’t catch a hint and said she was already selling it. After reading that I cried and pleaded out loud for god or my gma to ease my worries and hurt. I fell asleep soon after... I woke up suddenly to my fitbit vibrating like CRAZZYYY!! If anyone has a fitbit you know that it vibrates continuously when someone calls or once for a notification... I look down and start checking who had text me or called... it said “missed call from grandma Brenda cell” and “missed call for grandma Brenda home” 😳😳 I immediately thought I was in a dream.. I stared at my Fitbit and thought... “ okay, #1 her cell phone line is gone, the phone has been given away/trashed... #2 even if the phone is still working, my gpa has his own cell phone to call anyone AND they live where there is absolutely NO cell phone service.. #3 why would my grandpa be up at 3AM and call me out of all people...” I grab my phone and see the notifications don’t even show up on my phone or in my call log.. I sat in bed freaked out and contemplating going to wake up my mom.. And then all of a sudden, I get two notifications on my Phone saying, “voicemail from grandma Brenda cell and voicemail from grandma Brenda home”
Now... I had voicemails from the past from her that I would listen to and never deleted just because I knew there would come a day when she would be gone that I would miss her voice and need her to say “I love you”... same with my other grandparents, parents, friends and siblings. I keep my voicemails saved to iCloud.
I didn’t know if I should listen to them because I was freaked tf out. I did... and the first one was her saying “I hope all is well with school, work and your mom.. I love you and just remember that always. Put your stress and worries aside. Call me back soon. “
That was enough for me... I didn’t even listen to the second voicemail.
I knew in my Heart that she heard me speaking to her and heard my prayers. This was my answer. To remember what I already had of hers, to cherish and remember her.. ❤️

Something similar happened to me and my mother like 3 years ago. My mother's aunt was seriously ill and we knew that she hasn't so much left. So we called her family while they were in the hospital with her. They said she is in a bad shape and suddenly they layed down the phone, but they didn't end the call. We heard noises, someone talking and stuff. My mother tried to hang up the phone but the connection didn't break. We heard our relative dying. At first i didn't believe her so my mother gave the phone to me and I heard the noises too. I tried to hang up, to press the button but it didn't work. After a few minutes the call ended by itself. And then they called us back and told that my mother's aunt died a few minutes earlier.

Well I had a story like this. My grandpa passed away a year ago almost, and I was sitting in the living room with my grandma, chatting and having some snacks. The phone of the house started ringing. She picks up the phone and her face went completely pale, hang up, and started crying. Now my grandpa had just passed at this moment and we were all really sad and depressed, since he was such a kind and caring soul.
My grandma explained to me through tears that my grandpa, had call her, she said she recognized her voice and he was whispering that he was okay and that my grandma would be okay too, even without him. They had been married for 61 years and they were still madly in love when he left us. This helped my grandma a lot, and she wasn't a believer in paranormal stuff but it made her think a lot about that and is really open minded about this stuff now. We often discuss about this and we all agree that it wasn't some kind of bad joke, and it resemble my grandpa so much to care for my grandma even far away on the other side. We had a lot of strange things happening after his death, but always on the good side of strange. I miss him a lot, but it helps me to think he's okay and he's showing us he is.

I have different experiences with electronic contact from the dead (specifically my fucking Roku), but I'll try to give some insight as to the mechanics behind the phone calls to help people understand.
It's a combination of two things: capacitive touchscreens and phone processors. First, the non-physical are energy. Capacitive touchscreens work off the weak electrical signal generated by our fingers. And when we talk, our voices are turned into electrical signals that are transmitted from one electrical device to another. The static that people hear on ghost calls is because the non-physical person isn't in control of the amount of energy they produce, unlike when they had a body. Their voice is transmitted, but they also generate static that the phone picks up. Scary as, I know, but there is a reason for it.
The other part is the fact that phone processors are easy to mess with. The non-physical live outside of Earth's Newtonian physics and time constraints. They can literally stop the processor because the processor is essentially a bunch of clocks. It allows the non-physical user to queue up a command so that when the phone fires off an alert, it'll do something else like make a phone call, or in my case, fuck with my Roku app.
tl;dr: modern technology is bridging the gap between the physical and the non-physical and there's going to be more of this stuff happening as time goes on.

Yeah, this is a pretty common occurrence and its pretty creepy. After my grandpa passed away, his phone was given to me since it wasn't paid off yet. Well, one day I was sitting in my room playing Skyrim when my grandma's phone went off. I assumed it was work related until she said "I love you too, but why did you call me?" I told her I didn't call her and that my phone had been sitting in the living room so I couldn't have. She replied that she got a phone call from my number and that the voice on the other end said "I love you" before hanging up.

I have heard of such stories. One was a little girl who died when she was seven, and who called a neighbor. The neighbor was aware that the little girl’s father was alone and had a disability from an injury; if he fell asleep in the wrong position he would be unable to move when he woke up. When she got the call and realized who was on the line, she immediately thought of the girl’s father. She said, “I have to go.” And the little girl replied, “Thank you.”
Sure enough, the dad had fallen asleep in a bad position. Had she not come to check on him, no-one would have found him for about two weeks. Would have been a horrible way to go.

I had no family members or close people who I had a phone call off after death. BUT, one instance did happen back in 2016.
I was sat in the living room whilst my mother was out and I was dog sitting. All of a sudden the phone rings, and no word of a lie the number was "01234567890". I said hello, and I got nothing back. Just a low static noise mixed with white noise. Then after 3 or 4 attempts of saying hello, this noise came from no where, like people talking, I had the TV on and it sounded like someone had walked into the living room slowly, as a certain advert or loud noise would come through the TV, a similar but not EXACT noise come through the phone. I got a bit creeped out and felt very watched as soon as I heard the voices come through the other side of the line.
I thought it was just coincidence but then my mother asked me the next day who the strange number was who called, I told her of the situation that happened and she told me the phone number stated above. Then, when I tried calling back it said the number doesn't exist/isn't valid, when I tried to record the message off the number on my phone, my mobile screen started changing colours and moving through (a little like an old TV when it scans, just different colours) I had to reset my phone 3 times until it decided to work and was slow all night until the next day. Really weird stuff.
Now I don't know if this is paranormal but it hasn't happened since and made me feel very uneasy.

When my best friend was murdered, I had multiple calls from her number.
Right after she died. I figured this out by comparing notes with the friend that survived and telling her what I saw when and when the call came through. There was only a whisper on the other end. I couldn't tell exactly what the voice said but it sounded like, "Help her." It was about 30 minutes to an hour before I was supposed to start calling the police to send for help (if they didn't return). I was so freaked out I called a close friend and told her. She asked what my gut instinct said to do, to follow that, and call her back after I called the cops.
After the police showed up. I could hear them telling the murderer to sit down and the murderer saying he didn't mean to. I was later told that there is no cell signal up there and that getting that call would be impossible. But I heard it clearly.
The day after she was murdered, I got a call from her number and so did her husband, a friend of the family, and her sister.
Occasionally, we would get calls from her number until about a week after her funeral.
The phone was in evidence with the battery removed.
The rest were silent. We'd answer and it was just open air. No voices or anything.
BUT before she died, I was babysitting her kids and waiting for the next call. I was outside on the patio, sitting at the smoking table (I smoked cigarettes at the time), and waiting for the kids to finish their movie or whatever they were doing (I can't really remember. It was in 2006).
I was staring at my phone waiting and all of a sudden, I was on the ground. I was on gravel looking under a vehicle and I could feel my arms and legs moving. Then it started getting red around the edges, tunneled in to where it was all black, and then I was back on the porch... although I was freaked the fuck out by the experience, I had no idea what that was.
I tried to call her and our friend she was with. No answer but they wouldn't be back in cell phone area yet. So I sat there thinking what it could be when the call happened.
Later, like YEARS later, I finally talked to our friend who survived. I finally told her 1) I was not dealing with our friend's death too well. Even YEARS later and I think it was from the vision/phone call. 2) I told her about the vision and the phone call. I told her it must be just something I made up in my mind because she died instantly. That's what the cops said.
She confided in me that she saw her die and it wasn't instant. And what I described is what she would have seen. She was laying next to the vehicle on a gravel parking pad, head facing the underside of the vehicle, and as she tried to get her to get up and run because he was coming after them, our friend was moving her arms and legs like she was trying to get up. She said she told everyone it was instant because they didn't want to say she suffered. And the call would have happened about 10 minutes after that when she was running through the woods for her life.
I was quite shaken when she told me that. I swear I saw my friend's death through her eyes that night. We still can't figure out how I got a call from her phone where I heard the police talking to him and him responding but I told her about that. It was 2 and a half hours after I started calling the police. She said that it took them that long to get there. I called every 15 minutes until they went to check.
And she said she sometimes gets calls from her too and they are just open air. She'll just say, "Hi! I miss you!" and it'll hang up.

Disclaimer that this was most likely a bad connection case made creepy by the day. On the exact one year anniversary of my mom's death I was at home looking through old photos (just me home at the time) when the landline suddenly rings. It startled me but I go check the caller ID and it says "Unknown". Normally I wouldn't answer at all but for some reason I had the urge to answer. I pick up and say "hello" and I hear a lot of static so I repeat the hello again and this time through the static I hear a scrambled "I'm here!" Before the phone cuts off all together. It scared the hell out of me, I slammed the phone down and even put the pictures away. I was so freaked out I went for a walk until my dad got back home.

When I was 11, almost 12, my Pop (grandpa) died after a long fight with lung cancer. We lived way down in the country (still live in the same area, just across the street) & the home health nurse who came 3 days a week for a yr to care for him, she lived about an hour & 20 mins away. He died early in the a.m. on Nov. 27th. 1994. That afternoon when the nurse got home, there was a message on her answering machine left at 1:30 p.m. Nov 27th, it was my Pop... He said "Tell June I'm alright". June is what my Pop called my grandma, her name is Patricia. Anyway just thought I'd share that here since it's phone calls from the dead and all.
We heard the message, a few times when I was younger. The nurse gave my grandmother the tape the message was on after my pops funeral. There was also a time & date when the message was recorded and the message was left after he passed away. I understand your skepticism, I can only tell you what I know. My grandparents had 5 living kids at the time my pop passed, their 2 sons both immediately said "maybe that's an old message" but aside from the time and date on the machine saying "Today at whatever a.m.", my grandpa wouldn't even have known the nurses number... He had never called her, she came into our lives when he was already very sick. My mom & my grandma & another nurse named Wendy from our family practitioners office were the ppl who called & handled anything to do w/ the nurse.

I've had this happen back in 2011. One of my best friends was passing away of a terminal illness, back then I only had a flip phone and barely used it. One day I was in a grocery line, and the cashier and I knew each other because all three of us used to work together. He asked me how my friend was doing, so I told him that last I knew she was in a coma. The lady behind me in line asked me if I was talking about *insert friends name here *, and we replied, "yes". She informed us that my friend had passed away in her sleep two days prior. Shook me to my core.
A few days later I got a missed call and voicemail with no call back number, it was my friends voice, and she said "MadameMalia, it's me!" (Used my real name of course). I'll always regret not answering that call, maybe I could've talked to my friend from beyond. I went to her funeral the next week and held the top of her hand (her hands were folded over one another on her stomach) before I left.
I've lost a lot of people since then, my brother, and both of my parents - and I've never received a call from the other side except from my friend.

I would believe it. My grandfather died in the 1970s following a massive heart attack. He was in intensive care in the hospital and my mother, aunt, and grandmother were waiting on word at home. The phone rang and it was nothing but static. My grandmother hung up and, moments later, the hospital called to say that he had just passed.
057 -
when my best friend's grandmother died, the phone rang the next day (this was before cell phones) and she had their phone set up so it would make a special ring when it was a call from grandmother, and it was doing that ring. She totally freaked out and was too scared to answer the phone, so finally her mom answered it. there was just static.

My paternal grandfather died when I was a kid. I was praying the rosary one night a few years ago and my phone lit up with the name “Grandpa” on the caller ID. I didn’t get to the phone in time to answer, but I called my maternal grandfather (who is still alive and would have been the one calling) saying I was sorry I had missed the call. She said he hadn’t tried to call me at all that evening. I also didn’t have a missed call on my phone.
My late grandfather was Catholic and I converted to the religion when I grew up, so I wonder if the rosary was part of it. Strange occurrences reminding family of him tend to happen from time to time. I figure he’s saying hello.

My wife’s Uncle. The family were all in the car on the way to his funeral. This was at least ten years ago so no spoofing numbers as far as I’m aware. All of a sudden my wife’s mobile phone starts to ring. It’s an incoming call from her Uncle. She tries to answer it but it won’t answer. It keeps ringing. Nothing works. She can’t stop it or even decline the call.
Guess it was his way of saying a final goodbye to the family. The Uncles phone was switched off and in a drawer in an empty house at the time.
060 -__________________________________________________________
I am a skeptic but the one experience in my life that I utterly cannot explain is similar. The day after my father died, his phone was TURNED OFF and hadn't been used for months (he had been ill) and it was tucked away in the kitchen.
My stepmother and I were in the kitchen and she was speaking on her cell phone with her mother. Suddenly she was saying hello...hello... then stopped talking, looked confused and panicked, and started pointing to her phone. It had the message "Incoming call from (my father's name)". She said hello a few more times but nothing. We found my father's phone. It was still turned off with no activity. It had a switch on the top to turn it on and off, so it was clear when it was shut off. Apparently, in the middle of her conversation with her mother, everything just went dead and then that happened. Still have absolutely no explanation.

My mother passed away in April 2018. I had just been to see her for Christmas too. (I live overseas now).
Anyway, back in my home last October (2018), I had just come home from work, taken a shower and was chilling out on my bed, talking to my wife on the phone as she was on her way home.
Suddenly, there was a lot of static on the call (which almost never happens), and I heard my mother's voice call my name with her distinct Irish accent, then more static and then the call returned to my wife. My entire body went into a hot flush and I was shaking! I have absolutely no doubt it was my mother's voice.
062 -__________________________________________________________
I got a call one night about 35 years ago on a landline phone. The call was static noise and I could barely hear the voice, the voice kept fading and the only thing I remember was "Everything is going to be alright" I hung up the phone and the next morning I got a call telling me that Grandma had died.
I put the two together because I thought the voice was my Grandmother.
063 -__________________________________________________________
This is similar to what my sister and brother-in-law experienced. Brother-in-law’s cousin died from an overdose and they would receive calls with the deceased name on it, but the phone was OFF and upstairs in one of the drawers. Gives me chills whenever I hear about it and also gave me chills reading your story as well.
Edit: forgot to mention when they would answer, there was nothing

Years ago, my best friend's mom died. I had no idea of the news, but I got a call and the mom's name came up on the caller ID. I picked it up, thinking, "wow, I have spoken with *friends' mom* in years - how nice!" No answer. "Hello? Hello?" A few hours later, my best friend calls and says, "My mom died this morning..."

Hi all, last night in bed around 3 am I got a phone call from my grandmothers number, she passed away around 3 year ago so it shocked me, I answered the call and I just heard weird breathing and some sort of static and the call hung up around 5 seconds after I answered it. It really freaked me out and I dont have an answer for it so I came to this sub…

I received a call from my brother—with no caller ID or phone company record—very soon after he died. It sounded like long distance calls used to sound back when we all had landlines, as if he were very distant. At first I was perplexed, but once I said his name, things cleared up a bit and soon after, the call ended. I think his energy was just still strong enough he had the ability to pop in to let me know he was okay. He’s visited many times in other ways—but the most concrete was a lucid dream in which he revealed that he was NOT relieved his long battle with with a vicious form or cancer was over. I have a good vocabulary, but he used terminology I just would not have; it wasn’t my own mind trying to work through his death.
He was more tethered in the time soon after his death. Now he just pays visits now and then, especially when I am sick. I know it’s him because I feel his hand on my forehead—something he liked for me to do to him when he was ill.
My kids and I have had tons of experiences—not just with him. But each of us has only had one experience that was scary.

It’s weird - I came on here last night to post about a similar experience that I had. I decided it felt kind of personal to post as it wasn’t that long ago.
But keeping it simple without a lot of detail, I woke up from a message from an old friend of my wife asking me to let my wife know that one of her friends had suddenly passed away (my wife doesn’t have social media). She was very upset, of course. So during my meditation that morning I focused on asking him to give her or us a sign that he’s still around. A lot of unexplainable things happened after that, that I’m not really ready to get into. But the relevant part is that on my way to work, about a half hour later, I got a phone call from 00000 (give or take a 0) and all that was on the other side was static.

My grandfather called me a good 5-6 years after he passed. I was in shock. I was playing on my phone and it popped up. I was too terrified to answer. It was interesting too because my grandfather wanted to be buried with a fully powered cell phone (he was a prominent businessman) and we continued to pay for his cell phone number for about 3-4 years.
I tried calling back the number but it wasn’t in service/hadn’t been reassigned. Very freaky. I was going to see a medium for the first time the next day so I like to think it was his way of telling me he’d be there ❤️ which he was

My friend in Arizona had this same thing happen. Her grandmother died of breast cancer and then her 4 year old niece died in a terrible accident right after that. A couple weeks later they received a call to her moms phone from the grandmas cell phone, she left a message saying “I am okay, everything is ok, I love you”. It was very staticky and very hard to hear but I heard it too. Gives me chills to this day. I swear this is true.

My aunt passed away about 7 years ago now..her phone was donated to "phones for the troops" or something of the like by my uncle a few days after her funeral. About a week after that, my mom got two back to back phone calls from her phone number..the 2nd time a voicemail was left. It was the exact thing you've described, very, very staticy..sounded like heavy breathing with a very faint/quiet sort of..sob or cry at the tail end right as the message abruptly ended.
My mom called it back and got a "the number you have dialed is no longer in service" message...so she sent a text and said "sis?" Followed by another "I miss you"..neither of which were returned as undeliverable..then she went to bed.
In the middle of the night that same night, she got a blank text in response. Freaked us out for a long time, still does. Zero explanation for it as the number was completely shut off and the phone donated..just the phone, no sim card.
Thank you for your condolences! She most definitely had unfinished business. She was at a point in her life where she was in the middle of righting many wrongs, and she was a very active grandma, to a 6 and 4 year old, and an 8 month old at the time. Her death was very sudden..not entirely unexpected as she lived an unhealthy lifestyle up until a couple years prior, but it was definitely sudden and caught alot of us off guard as we thought she was doing really well at the time. She was involved in alot of different, positive things..volunteer work, watching her grandkids daily, started an enormous garden (she was not a gardener lol), all sorts of stuff that she hadn't been involved with prior.
Nothing like that ever happened again, not with the phone at least..but it's probably worth mentioning that my grandma used to claim that she would get regular "visits" from her, going as far as to say that she would sometimes be sitting on the edge of her bed early in the morning when she would first wake up. My mom (myself too, for that matter) also experienced what we considered to be visits from her, we figured it was her not only because of the things that would happen, but because nothing of that sort had ever happened in our house prior to her death. One day my grandma called my mom and blurted out mid convo, while talking about something else entirely "Carol went home"..my mom was like, what? She said "Carol went home, she moved on now, she wont be visiting us anymore". Nothing weird ever happened after that (by weird, I mean certain things from her/that she had given us randomly moving or turning on and off, my mom hearing her say "hi sis" out of nowhere at times, and just generally feeling her familiar presence..noises, little gusts of cool air, the usual stuff you read about in that regard. She was also regularly in our dreams, which stopped shortly before my grandma made that remark.
Can't say for sure obviously, don't think anyone can, but all of this further cemented the beliefs I already had in terms of the paranormal lol.
Edit: She and my mom had just recently started getting close again around that time too, they started talking daily again for the first time in over a decade around a year 1/2 prior to her passing, they grew very close again and that seemed to mean alot to both of them. Might further explain the sobbing sound, but who knows. The thought of that voicemail still makes my hair stand up..had a very otherworldly..ethereal sound/vibe to it.

Hallo,
ich bin neu hier und habe da mal eine Frage.
Mein Vater ist am 22.08. ganz plötzlich gestorben, was meine Familie und mich natürlich erst mal sehr geschockt hat. Acht Tage nach seinem Tod hatte ich plötzlich einen Anruf auf meinem Handy. Auf dem Display erschien die Nummer meiner Eltern, aber am anderen Ende hörte ich nur ein Rauschen, das sich immer dann veränderte, wenn ich hallo rief. Normalerweise hätte ich sofort aufgelegt, da ich angenommen hätte, dass keine Verbindung zustande gekommen sei aber mir schlug fast sofort das Herz bis zum Hals und ich meinte aus dem Rauschen, den Tonfall der Stimme meines Vaters gehört zu haben, obwohl ich leider kein einziges Wort verstand. Nach einiger Zeit legte ich dann doch zitternd auf und rief die Nummer an. Am anderen Ende meldete sich meine Mutter, die auf meine Frage, ob sie mich angerufen habe, verneinte. Das Handy hatte bei ihr unberührt auf dem Tisch gelegen.
Von dem Tag an habe ich fast ständig Seiten über das Jenseits im Internet gelesen und denke nun, dass dieser Anruf dies bewirken sollte, denn vorher hatte ich mich recht wenig damit beschäftig, wenn ich auch schon immer eine Ahnung hatte, dass mit dem Tod nicht alles vorbei sein könnte. Ausserdem kann ich seitdem recht gut mit der Tatsache umgehen, dass mein Vater gestorben ist, weil ich jetzt weiß, dass er da angekommen ist, wohin wir alle mal gehn.
Sollte dieser Anruf, auch wenn ich kein Wort mit ihm sprechen konnte, so eine Wirkung ausüben können? Oder bilde ich mir da nur was ein, um alles verdrängen zu können? Und könnte es sein, dass so ein Anruf oder ähnliches noch mal vorkommt?
Ich habe meiner Mutter und meiner Schwester noch nichts davon erzählt, weil ich denke, dass sie mir nicht glauben würden (mein Mann hat es auch nicht getan).
Ich würde mich freuen, wenn mir jemand hierzu etwas sagen könnte.
Ione

When I was a kid I picked up the phone with an old lady on the other side asking for my mum by name. When I asked who it was she said "auntie May" my mum looked shocked and picked up the phone she was gone. She was brought up by Auntie May only Auntie may had died in 1962, probably a coincidence but a pretty strange one!
We were on vacation in the late 80s. We stopped really late and checked into a motel. Everyone was road weary so we just crashed into the beds. Some time during the night the phone in the room started ringing. Maybe a dozen times before my mother answered it. She said no one was on the other end.
The phones were odd in that they had only 1 button in the center where a dial pad should have been. They could only call out to the front desk and only the desk could connect other calls to your room. My sister and I went to the lobby for coffee the next morning while my parents packed for the last leg of the trip.
I asked the clerk who had called the night before and he said no one. He had been on duty all night and no calls came in or had gone out. We started back home and was going to stop at my aunts house on the way. She lived in another state. We met her and her husband at the end of the road she lived on. They were going to the hospital. My grandma had passed away the night before. We found out when we got home. To this day my mom swears it was her mother calling to tell her goodbye.
Granny cancelled an order over the phone, nearly two weeks after passing away
Not personally. But just prior to my granny passing away she had ordered some bits from a catalogue. My dad popped over to her house around two weeks after she died and found a “we missed you” card on the door mat. So he called the distributor to explain and to ask if he could cancel the order. When he said he was phoning on behalf of Mrs X from X address, the man stopped him saying he had a call from her two days ago cancelling her order. My dad explained that wasn’t possible. The guy insisted that’s what had happened, saying my granny had apologised and said she was unexpectedly going away.
Obviously my dad had quite a few questions. Apparently this wasn’t he first message he’d had from the other side via a phone call. Weirdest thing ever.
My family got one, it was the night before my mom's surgery to see if she had cancer and we were all freaking out and scared. We got a phone call late, and the caller ID said 'Hubert'. That was her dad's name, and there's been a few other instances of him saying hi to us over the years.
We didn't see who it was until it went to the voice answer, and there wasn't a message. But it was so weird to hear the phone read out 'call from Hubert'. Later we looked and it said 'Hubert'. Wild.
Not a phone call, but last year in February 2019 my Dad passed away. Two months later, I went abroad and when I landed in another country I took my phone off of airplane mode I got a notification saying "text from Dad" but didn't show the text and there were no new texts.
He wasn't a big texter, and almost never texted me so his last text was months before he died. His phone had been off since he went into the hospital. I didn't get notifications of any other old texts from anyone else. Very strange.
My best friend killed himself in 2014 and I received a call from his number (mom left it as an active line after death to listen to his VM msg) one day in my creative writing class. I saw his name flash across my phone and my stomach dropped as I rushed outside to answer it. When I did, all I heard was my name in his voice, plain as day. I was so spooked I hung up immediately and cried.
It felt like he was calling me as if it was any normal day to tell me about something that happened, and in retrospect, I find it really comforting now.
Amazing to read all of these. My mum passed in March. She died at her home and about 15 mins after her body left in funeral home car - the landline rang. Like others report - it was just static but didn’t sound like anything I’d heard on phone before.
I put it down and thought that was probably her trying to call. Searching here though it’s so similar it’s giving my chills !
10 or 20 faint voices having conversations________________________
One time I received a phone call at 5 am (which is strange in itself) No number was displayed. The odd thing was that a message was left. So I check the message, and it sounded like 10 or 20 faint voices having conversations with each other combined with static. That's one message I'd like to forget
Another thing I'd like to add is that is that these calls don't necessarily have to be from someone who recently died. If there's already some paranormal activity in your house, you should expect this sort of thing to happen. I've heard knocks, cabinets opening, lights dimming, objects missing, etc, so I'm assuming the call is connected to that. Being part clairvoyant, I also believe there's the spirit of an old lady in the basement that died of natural causes in the house.
But I'm just so accepting and unbothered by it, it's no big deal to me. I think generally spirits look for a reaction, whether it's fear, anxiety, curiosity, etc. But if you have the attitude of just peacefully co-existing, and just generally being unphased, it shouldn't escalate to anything.

I once got a call from my own office number at 2am. I was asleep and the call woke me up. I picked up and there was this heavy breathing that lasted for about 10 seconds. I couldn't sleep after that. Next day, I shared it with my colleagues and one of them suggested to check CCTV footage.
We went down to building security office and they had about one hour of feed missing between 1:43am to 2:58am from the camera that covered my cabin. It happened about 3 years back but still freaks me out and I always keep my phone on silent before going to bed now.

My father in law died 14 years ago. A few weeks after his passing my brother in law answered a late night call from his landline (it was almost midnight).
All he could hear was a lot of white noise and bad reception sounds when he heard a faint voice. "It's me, son. I'm fine". Then the phone went dead.
He was having a bad time dealing with his father's passing and this helped him moving on.

My mother once got a call a few months after her mother died. It was bad quality and she heard talking but couldn’t make out the words. She said “who is this?” And her mother respond “this is your mother!”
It sounded exactly like her. My mom was so freaked out she immediately hung up but now she regrets it. She was on bad terms with her mother and thought she might have been calling to apologize.

A good friend of mine in Canada died. Around the time of his passing my smartphone woke me up with a loud voice calling unintelligible words. I knew who it was as he was extremely ill with all kinds of cancer. Next day i got the email from his partner that he was gone. We were friends since 1956. The dead have a capability to manipulate electricity.
__________________________________________________________
I was very close to my father in law. Two months after he died I was working from home and the phone rang. Clear as a bell it was his voice 'Hello 'my name'. No mistaking it.
My husband was sitting at the desk next to me. I was so shocked/struggling with what I heard that I didn't say anything in reply, just sat slack-jawed then hung up. We were so busy that he didn't ask me what that was about. I didn't say anything to my husband until we were walking the dog later that day. I'm a pretty pragmatic person so he believes me.
The best part is I wasn't scared, he had a very distinctive British accent and was quite cheeky and cheerful in real life as well as the 'call' so it felt quite reassuring and I felt quite chuffed. It's also been a reassurance for my husband.

We lost my mother in 1981, before any of us had ever heard of a cell phone; a phone was a land line. She worked in a corporate office setting, and when things were slow she'd call me just to chat. She might call and tell me what she saw on TV last night, tell me a joke, ask how the kids were doing, and on Wednesdays she'd call to read me the week's supermarket specials out of the newspaper. She called me just to call me, anywhere up to a dozen times a day during office hours, but only rarely at night.
From the day we returned home from Mama's funeral in East Texas, my phone rang somewhere between 8 and 12 times every weekday for two weeks, always during office hours. When I picked up, there was only the low hum and crackle of white noise. A few times when I said her name it would get louder, but that was all I heard. After about a minute the white noise would fade and the line would go silent. This kind of thing had never happened before, and after those two weeks, it didn't happen again. But it happened.

Same thing happened when my grandfather passed. A month or two later my phone started getting calls from his cellphone. Mind you this was many years ago when everyone had those old faithful indestructible Nokias.
Anyway I only had five numbers in my phone cause that was all I was allowed to have as a young teenager just starting to drive. My grandpas was saved under PaPaw. After he passed from an aneurysm, which was very sudden, weeks went by before the first call. It said ‘Papaw’ on the pixel caller ID. So I picked it up. All I heard was weird feedback on the other end. Not so much static so much as it was just like when someone holds a microphone too close to an amp and it trips each other out. From that call I would get a call once every two days. Never at the same time, but also never at an unreasonable hour. For instance I never got a call after 8 pm. And every time it was the same feedback distortion. Once I thought maybe I could hear a voice through it, but couldn’t understand the words. Like someone trying to whisper to you in the middle of hurricane force winds. But I chalked it up to wishful thinking.
Had a dream about him later on where he let me know he was okay. Never got another call after that.

I had a similar experience but not with a phone. My grandfather had this old radio that he loved, it was those cheap lil wind up radio but he still loved it. After he passed, I was cleaning up my room and I stored the radio in my closet for safe keeping.
One day, i started hearing music and for the life of me, ii couldn't figure where it was coming from. Got to the bdrm and realized it was coming from my closet. I forgot to mention, this radio has a wind up feature plus batteries and a plug and NONE of them were turned on (no batteries or had been wound up {that I know of}) When I finally picked up the radio, it turned to static but nothing came thru, then all of a sudden, it just stopped. I like to think it was my grandfather Singh his last goodbyes ❤️❤️
